[edit] Products and Services
MobileOne (M1) is one of the 3 major mobile communications providers in Singapore. It offers a suite of mobile voice and data communication services over its 2G/3G network, including international call services to both mobile and fixed line customers. These includes SMS, MMS, WAP, GPRS and, more recently in February 2005, 3G.
M1 also offers pre-paid mobile services under its M Card brand.
M1 offered GSM services to its customers upon its entry into the mobile communications market in 1997. In 1998, M1 introduced CDMA as the second mobile network in Singapore. However, customers on the CDMA network were migrated onto its GSM network in 2001. This was due to the CDMA network spectrum being earmarked for 3G service developments.
M1 offers Vodafone products, a result of it being the official Singaporean partner of the Vodafone mobile community.
