for smart sim users, how to activate and deactivate mms? diba P1 na lang sya? thanks

[alinkshel]

does this also work in provinces/other cities outside metro manila? if it's inaacurate within the metro, what more kaya sa labas?

[aMz]

^Yes sis!  Meron din sa province.  Funny lang kase hindi talaga accurate.  I was in Barangay A and the Smart Finder said that I was in Barangay B.

Yes, piso na lang pag Smart to Smart, pero P/2.00 to other networks.

To activate MMS:

1) Text SET MMS (Phone Model) to 211.
2) Pag na-receive na ang settings, save it
3) Then text MMS ON to 333.

Sample message para sa No.1: SET MMS N6600 (pag Nokia 6600 kunwari)

Hope this helps.

im having a hard time reaching their customer service...

di ko maactivate un mms ko.... kailangan daw dalhin sa kanila eh

[babaengmahiwaga]

Sis, baka ima-manually configure lang nila yun.  You can do it over the phone.  Gamit ka na lang ng ibang phone sa pagtawag sa kanila para maconfigure n'yo yung phone mo while you're talking to the agent.  Mahirap talaga makakontak, sis.  Tiyagaan lang.

thanks Sis, di ba prone sa viruses pag nka on yung MMS? pano nman pag off? thanks

[babaengmahiwaga]

Hindi naman, sis.    Ang delikado lang sa virus ay ang bluetooth.  Di na kailangan i-off.  Minsan nga pag medyo natagalan walang load, kusa na syang nade-deactivate.  Pero if you really like to turn it off, same procedure lang din.  Just replace "ON" with "OFF".

add ko na din sis dont open mms msg if hindi ka sure kung kanino galing kasi a friend told me once yung content nung mms virus pala

was anyone ever able to sign up for that bonus promo... they kept sending me messages to type BONUS and to send it to 8060 and it keeps telling me my transaction could not be processed and that i was charged.  did it over 20 times coz it seems like everytime i bought load they sent me a message.  i kept calling their customer service and some of the operators said it's instant sign up and we don't need to text, pero wala naman advice whatsoever.  any text to 8060 like info, help... doesn't work.  kainis talaga smart.  tagal ko na smart siguro 5 years na itong sim ko wala na sila binigay kundi headache.  one time i remember signing up for the smart money automatic load monthly.  if you use it once a month and load at least 300, you get a free cellphone in a year or two.  they even gave me a free bag when i signed up tapos months later, i find out error ng employee nila di pala ako naisign up, so wala na akong habol... they better straighten up.  lakas ko pa naman magload mga 300 a day or more.

[badpagirl]

^ this happened to me as well.. nagload ako ng 60, then nagpasa ko ng 20 sa friend ko... tas 5 sa isa pang friend ko. (ang bait ko)  nag unlimited ako for 15pesos/1 day unlimited, after nun, wala na kong load to think na may available balance pa ko prior to loading 60 pesos.,.... it sucks!

[Ch!NnA]

I remember aroung year 2003, smart and globe are all over for free sim swaps.. but then i can't find any nowadays. does anyone of you knows where i can have sim swaps? thank you so much girls...

[martsgirl]

wala na ata ngayon e.. coz sim cards are cheaper than it used to..

[Sui_Generis]

^yup. there was even a time last December when smart offered its sims lower than Php 100

@mudblood_06

sa pagkakaalam ko kasi ang all text 20, if ur a buddy user.. buddy to buddy lang un...  if ever by chance nakapag text ka sa TNT.. automatically mawawala [textspeak!] 1 na kasama sa all text 20 mu...

wala ng natira sa load mu?? merun ka bang extra load at that time? that's why you were charged 19 for your text to globe?

[badpagirl]

eto mga ayaw ko sa smart:

1. mahal mag unlimited. 30/2 days, sa globe 25 lang. 
2. may oras yung pagreregister ng unlimited, sa globe wala. 
3. nangangain ng load, nagpapadala ng kung [textspeak!]-anung mga logo, tones, info na kahit nag NO kana, sige pa din sa pagpapadala. 
4. laging double send pag unlimited.


so why will i choose smart? nevah!   

[ana-tin]

i used to be a globe subscriber pero nagswitch ako sa smart. grabe asar na asar na ko sa smart, gusto ko na mag globe ulit. prob is my BF uses smart kase. ang hirap mag-unli, laging request cannot be processed. anong oras ba talaga pwede mag unli? better talaga yung globe, nakakainis.

[cutecon]

for the registration for Smart Unlimited may time lang from 9am-5pm and 11pm-6am... The reason for this is to avoid traffic with the registration kasi the problem before nung walang time ang registration mas marami ang hindi napprocess kaya naglagay ng window ang smart para [textspeak!] ibang mga request it can be processed and also not to affect other services specially during peak hours.

for the all text 20 naman... you should really maintain atleast 1php balance kasi the moment na mag-0 peso balance mo you cannot use the remaining text not unless magreload ka or magpa-pasaload ka.

for the unsolicited value-added services naman if you did not subscribe to the service definitely di kayo papadalhan... possible lang na na-activate niyo ang subscription when you accidentally reply to their ads. for the cancellation if you find it hard to get thru sa hotline you can just type CHECK and send it to the number that sends you the stuffs. You can also turn off the info services in your phone. Just go to message settings then Info Service then select ON.

what's the customer service number of Smart? *888?

bakit yung talk20 laging napuputol? experienced this a couple of times na. it's supposed to be 3 calls for 3 minutes each diba? sometimes 10seconds pa lang naka-cut na yung line. and kasama na sya sa 3 calls. grabe. smart's been giving really bad service na. bat ganon.

[cutecon]

kapag ganun?! after the 1st call mo pa lang na na-cut tawag ka na agad sa customer service yup tama ka *888. Medyo mahirap nga lang maka-contact lalo na kapag peak hours na maraming tumatawag sa hotline... Try mo tumawag using the talk 20 kaapg off-peak kasi minsan kapag maraming gumagamit ng service bka nagkaka-traffic. and make sure both you and the called party has stable signal.
