Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Global technology operational accelerator Yonder & Beyond Group Ltd (ASX:YNB) is pleased to advise that MeU Mobile a new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and Australia's First Social Mobile Network(TM) has successfully launched - offering Australians simple and transparent competitive pre-paid mobile plans on Australia's second biggest mobile network.

It has four plans, known as 'Oodles', which provide members with talk, text and data at highly competitive prices. Additionally, MeU will advise its members if they are over-spending on the service at the end of the billing cycle, ensuring they are on the right plan for them.

Members can keep their previous mobile number, have access to free voicemail and calls to 1800 numbers, as well as access to its network - Kevin - which provides a 3G footprint of 98.5% of the Australian population, covering 1.3 million square kilometres, using part of Telstra's 3G mobile network.

MeU Oodles have no lock-in contracts and users can opt out at any time. Oodles start from $29 and go up to $59. All MeU plans have no flag fall charge, no penalty charges for going over data allowances and are transparent on pricing. If members exceed their plans, they have the option to purchase add on data packages for a flat fee of $10 per GB or simply disable data until the end of the month.

Commenting on the launch of Meu Mobile, YNB Managing Director, Shashi Fernando, said "We are delighted MeU has now launched in Australia and are extremely excited in the progression of Australia's first social mobile network."

"MeU Mobile has a firm focus on the member and today's data hungry consumer, coupled with standout customer service delivered to members by a dedicated team of Australian member service representatives."

To provide its customers with the best possible service and transparent billing, MeU Mobile has deployed Inabox Group Limited (ASX:IAB) as its provisioning gateway. Over the next few months, IAB and MeU Mobile will be working towards providing new features such as data sharing by phone tapping, online chat support where customers earn bill credit by answering questions and easy-click donations.

"There is a lot more to come from this new operator, as it looks to shake up and disrupt the mobile industry," Fernando concluded.

YNB holds a 45% interest in MeU Mobile (refer ASX announcement dated 27 March 2015). In addition to its investment YNB provides MeU with access to a large contact base across hardware, software and content providers.

MeU SIMs are available directly at meu.mobi and members can sign up to the service using their Facebook profile.
