Vuclip has entered into a partnership with U Mobile Sdn Bhd to allow U Mobile customers enjoy more than 10,000 hours of premium Asian content on the go with Viu through U Mobile’s Video- Onz™ service. Viu is an Over-the-Top (OTT) video-on-demand (VOD) service launched in Malaysia by Vuclip in February this year.
U Mobile subscribers of P70, i90 and i130 post-paid plans will now enjoy complimentary unlimited video streaming through Viu without using their data. Other post-paid and broadband customers will enjoy an additional 100 percent data allocated to the Video-Onz™ service while prepaid users will enjoy an extra 100 percent data bundle for Video-Onz™ through the purchase of UMI/MB data packages. Viu will also offer 60 days of complimentary access to premium content for U Mobile customers.
“We know that data consumption and additional data charges are key concerns for Malaysian viewers. This partnership allows U Mobile customers to watch videos on demand whenever and wherever they want, with peace of mind,” said Mr Kingsley Warner, General Manager of Vuclip Malaysia.
Since the service was launched in Malaysia in February 2016, the average Viu user watches 20 videos a month. The top viewed include this year’s mega hit: Descendants of the Sun, along with the classic favourite Running Man and the recently popular Oh My Venus, as well as the latest Indian Bollywood movies, Jazbaa and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, ‘Dia Isteri Luar Biasa’, ‘Teman Lelaki Upahan’, ‘Hati Perempuan’ and ‘Kopitiam’.
The latest selected Korean dramas are available subtitled in English eight hours after their Korean premiere and in Bahasa Malaysia and Simplified Chinese within 24 hours, providing a fresh and localised experience.
Viu is accessible on mobile phones and tablets as well as desktops by downloading the Viu app on Google Play, Apple App Store or by typing in www.viu.com on your desktop browser.
