Level-Up offers Gamer SIM and grabs gamer market share

by Jayvee on December 4th, 2007

Gamer SIM!

Was sitting in at a panel discussion last night for an informal eCommerce thing in Manila, Philippines. My co-panelist JC Medina of Level-Up Philippines was talking about a new Level-Up Gamer SIM card. For those not in the loop, Level-Up is probably the brand name of gaming in Asia as they hold the franchise of RF Online, Ragnarok and here in the Philippines - over 80%-90% of the gaming industry.

So back home, where we have the most awesome and crazy cellular network offers, Level-Up launches the LU Gamer SIM card. What it does is offer value added services for LU gamers. Guild messaging, server announcements, “conduit” J2ME games whose results are synced with Ragnarok are jsut some of the neat features.

So really, the business model here is really simple. Since Level-Up is affiliated with telco SMART, it really is just another way to grab market share. Getting the young ones to shift from Globe and SUN Cellular to SMART … :)

Nice move!

    You should be able to buy the gamer sim in any cafe that has level up games installed. If your cafe doesnt have any, let your cafe owner know so they can inform LU personnel that are assigned to that particular area.

    We will try our best to meet the demand especially for those outside of the general metro manila area. Thank you for your support.
