UMobile launches microSIM card

U Mobile subscribers with smart devices can now get the U Mobile standard SIM card converted to MicroSIM for free. Subscribers simply have to visit any U Mobile service centres nationwide and a U Mobile customer service officer will be able to assist.

The MicroSIM is designed to be compatible to smart devices such as the iPhone 4 or the iPad 3G.

While standard SIM cards measure 15mm (width) x 25mm (height), a microSIM measures 12mm in width and 15mm in height. All the electrical contacts and circuitry of a MicroSIM are still identical to that of a standard SIM card.

"Looking at the current trend of smart devices, U Mobile recognises the need to provide the products and services to enhance the user experience," said U Mobile CEO Dr Kaizad Heerjee.

The MicroSIM can be used with both mobile data and broadband plans.

Customers can sign up for U Broadband plans which are available from as low as RM6 per day to RM68 per month.

There is also a special promotion for U Broadband plans that start from as low as RM20 per month for data allowance of 2GB.

From now until Fed 28, a free modem will be given to subscribers who sign up for UB40 and UB68 with no contract attached. For more information, log on to www.u.com.my .
