Celcom turns to airport cabs to sell prepaid broadband

Posted:  June 3, 2009   By:    2 comments   


As mobile broadband war heats up, Celcom is targeting a niche segment of foreigners with the help of Airport Limo cabs. Its CMO Chee Pok Jin said Celcom is spending under RM1 million to introduce this new service over the next 6 months and targets to acquire 400 customers per day.

Their strategy is simple, to target foreigners who often had to pay premium at hotels for internet access. With Celcom Prepaid, this would be a cheaper choice for foreigners.

During the campaign period, it is understood that the Airport Limo taxi drivers will act as ambassador for the travelers by answering queries and questions on Celcom Prepaid. We’re wondering if the taxi drivers are well trained for such a task but probably Celcom would bundle a product/FAQ kit that is easy for first time users to understand in various languages.

Another thing that we noticed is that registration is not required.

Dubbed “Celcom Mobile Broadband Airport Limousine”, it offers a ready-to-use mobile broadband package without the need for customer registration in collaboration with Airport Limo (M) Sdn Bhd, which operates taxi services to and from the airport.

Last we recalled, all prepaid sold in Malaysia must be registered with supporting ID or passport. Suddenly it appears that prepaid for broadband is spared from such ruling.

prepaid voice plan need voice plan need registration.. while this broadband prepaid no need to register, because it cannot be use to make voice call or sms.. only can be used to surf internet.

@epool86 – MCMC ruling has urged all mobile prepaid service to be registered. This should be inclusive of voice/sms/data to avoid abuse of anonymity using prepaid service for scam or fraud.

If prepaid mobile is excluded, this will give an opportunity for cybercrimes without being traced back by the authorities.
