Pokemon Go is awesome. People of all ages have gotten on their feet and begun spending more time outside and even with their families all in the pursuit to be the very best that no one ever was. U Mobile wants to make Pokemon Go even more awesome and here’s how they plan to do it.
From the 10th of August onwards, U Mobile will be holding a Pokemon Go themed contest for their customers where the grand prize is a brand new Apple iPhone 6s.
If you’re a U Mobile customer, all you have to do to stand a chance to win yourself a brand new iPhone 6s is follow these simple steps:
1.
Go out and capture some Pokemon!U Mobile will announce a specific Pokemon on their Facebook, Instagram and website that users will have to capture.
2. Take a screenshot of your catch and upload it to Instagram with a creative caption that begins with “I want to Power-Up for Pokémon Go with U Mobile because…”
3. Be sure to include the hashtags #pokeonz and #Umobile
Then, U Mobile will pick 35 winners daily based on the overall best caption. Five winners will win a 4,000 mAh powerbank while the remaining 30 will go home with RM100 postpaid or prepaid credits. The contest will run for two weeks and at the end of it, 10 winners with the best captions will win an iPhone 6s.
To help you out with your Pokemon-ing, and with the contest, U Mobile will also be setting up lures during the contest period. These locations, along with the contest winners will be announced via U Mobile’s social media platforms.
Finally, U Mobile will also be giving their customers a little boost in their pursuit to catch em all. For one month from the 10th of August onwards, all U Mobile customers will have their Uber rides discounted so that they can travel to Pokestops and Gyms a little quicker. Besides that, battery drain when playing Pokemon Go is a big issue, that’s why U Mobile is working with Lazada to give U Mobile customers special discounts when they purchase powerbanks from Lazada.
