Celcom's Subscribers Touch 7 Mln Mark


KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- Celcom (Malaysia) Bhd's subscriber base reached the seven million mark recently, said its chief executive officer, Datuk Shazalli Ramly here.

Shazalli said Celcom has the largest third generation (3G) content which consists of 88 varied content raning from entertainment to news in Malaysia.

The company also has about 45,000 3G subscribers.

"Under our alliance with Vadafone, we now have the widest 3G and GPRS coverage in the world," Shazalli said at the Celcom Chinese New Year Spring Celebration Dinner Friday.

Currently, Celcom provides 3G Chinese content in the country such as Feng Shui Tips with Lillian Too, instant news via Nanyang Online and Wang Lee Hom's video clips and songs, he added.

The company also has the first and largest Tamil content content provider in the world, in both Romanised and Tamil characters.

Meanwhile, there are 1.4 million activations for the Celcom 8Pax service recorded by year end to 2005.

"Celcom plans to take the communications industry by storm by pursuing and meeting an even more aggressive agenda for innovative enterprise products and ground-breaking solutions," said Shazalli.

Yeah, sure...
None of your 3G content can be played on my * V-O-D-A-F-O-N-E * !
I was even charged for clicking on content that didn't work!

Today is the last day of your trial period 3G Xpax and I haven't seen the "wonders" of streaming yet. Get on the ball, shake a leg, get moving, Celcom... you've got 3G customers, take care of them! (E.g., extend the free internet until you can cope with streaming to all models.)

I'm using Celcom 3G since August last year, but not fully utilize it..

Try to stream but failed - maybe incorrect setting on my phone la.. using 6680

ANy Celcom 3G user that managed to stream from celcom site or astromobile ?

Good news guys...celcom finally announced the new 8pax rate n that is 15ct/m n 1ct/sms...n this time it looks like it gonna stay forever....copying other telco i must say...nice action

yeh...good haha dono stil can go down or not ..

15ct/m n 1ct/sms quite ok..cant ask for more from celcom..they always lose to other telco but this time they r goin to fight back

Hope Celcom keeps on rocking~!!!!!
I am a satisfied Xpax user since celcom launched the Xpax plan. Even though sometimes I realised the line dropped a while for no reason in my condo in Cyberjaya, the generally the service is good and i'm not annoyed by that as the call rate is so so so much lower than other telco's prepaid!
I have actually just finished my industrial training with TM, the parent company of celcom. I think the soar in celcom subscriber base gotta thank for its parent company support! Cuz every of staff of the TM Group are promoting Xpax or Minutes Plan to their friends and family.
When celcom catches Maxis neck-to-neck, hope Celcom cares the customers more and do not lose out in this 3G coming wave!

sumtimes the line drops when ur in a building..i experienced this when i stay in my hostel...dunno why..weird

Me also cannot streaming. I tried to stream the TV channels from the celcom 3G site.. but fail to load in real player.. i've configured all the configurations according the instruction in the celcom 3G website.. anyone having the same problem? or anyone has try the streaming service? my phone is N70 and the MMS and surfing the web using the phone is ok..only streaming cannot...wrong configurations perhaps?

p/s: the surfing using 3G quite expensive i think...so fast taking the credit..

No problem for me when streaming tv channel using Samsung phone. No extra settings is required ... choose internet on the phone and it will point to celcom 3G page. If you wanna go somewhere else, then type the url and surf ... troublesome as you need to type like sms! Only TV3 is free and and the delay from live tv is approx 1 minute or more.. usually more than that.

hm.. i dono about samsung phone..mine is Nokia N70..and i followed all the configuration setting on the celcom 3g webpage.. including the setup for the real player..others services like MMS and surfing the web using the 3g work fine...anyone using N70 and can streaming trough real player? need a help..i think the configuration on th real player is wrong ler...even though i followed carefully from the celcom 3g official website... anyone please help!! one more thing..i'm using Xpax celcom3g...

better go to service centre and ask them to do it

Celcom To Introduce New 3G-Related Content


CYBERJAYA, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- Celcom (Malaysia) Bhd, which currently offers 88 types of content to its 3G subscribers, will develop and introduce new 3G-related content based on consumer behaviour to attract the mass market.

"We want to get close to the consumer behaviour and lifestyle which would make 3G relevant," Celcom's chief executive officer Datuk Mohammed Shazalli Ramly told a media workshop here Tuesday.

He said the company was working towards finding the behaviour content that would be a "hit" to increase the 3G take up rate but declined to disclose further.

Currently, Celcom has about 60,000 3G customers since its launch of 3G in May last year.

Its streaming TV content was a hit with between 7,000 and 10,000 end-users and "Bulletin Utama" being the widely-watched programme.

When asked on any new 3G offerings for the FIFA World Cup competition in June, Mohammed Shazalli said Celcom would be launching "something big" but declined to reveal further.

Meanwhile, Celcom's head of marketing Zalman Aefendy Zainal Abidin said that the company would widen its 3G coverage to include Sabah and Sarawak soon.

It has already offered the 3G service, which includes among others video telephony, video call, streaming TV and music, to areas such as the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Baharu, Melaka, Kedah and Genting Highlands.

In his presentation at the workshop, he said the future growth of the mobile market was Asia and the data services and multimedia applications have yet to be exploited.

The number of mobile subscribers in Asia is expected to grow from 820 million to 1.2 billion within five years, he said, adding that by 2010, 37 percent of 3G through WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) will come from Asia.

Another speaker, Stephen J. Jones who is the consultant and founder of the 3G Portal.com, said there are currently about 100 million customers worldwide since 3G was launched three-and-a-half years ago.

3G has a good chance of success with analysts predicting 3G revenue to reach US$450 billion by 2010, he said.

As for the content, he said: "We should make new services that fits easily with people and the current modus operandi should solve problems. Blog is a big word last year and MOSOSO or mobile social software is (the in-thing) for 2006."

MOSOSO is an application that helps advanced personal interest and make social interactions more diverse by portable wireless device, Jones said.

Currently, 3G/WCDMA has 100 networks in 42 countries and by 2010, penetration of 3G worldwide is expected at 25 percent.
