SINGAPORE-MobileOne said it would terminate its six-year-old paging service at the end of the year. Singapore’s M1 will offer its 22,000 paging customers the option to switch to its GSM network with “attractive” handset prices and subscription plans.
Customers who switch can retain their pager numbers as their mobile numbers.
M1 said Singapore’s pager subscriptions have plummeted from a total of1.12 million in April 1997 to 242,700 in April this year, a nearly 80-percent drop.
