I heard that the plan 300 is consumable. Prefix starts with 0920.

gay - so true.

Hi sis! The number for the goldlite plan usually starts with 9285 there are still some numbers with 9189 for postpaid

[Sui_Generis]

^an acquaintance got a smart gold lite and he got 0920 for a prefix.

i was told by a smart cs that in any event that i do not like my number, i can always have it change and ergo, can avail of the 0918-9xxxxxx series if i wish to.

[winky]

^depende din siguro sa wireless center outlet. sabi naman kasi sa akin kung ano lang daw na available na sim/number na nasa possession nila yun lang pwede pag pipilian ko. meaning di talaga ako pwede mag request ng personalized number.

pag consumable ba, pwede i-allocate ang 300 monthly sa calls, sms and mms? or sa calls lang talaga?

anyway, nag postpaid ka na ba finally?

[Sui_Generis]

^yup. mukhang hindi nga consistent ang mga smart wireless because another acquaintance went to Smart Shang and Megamall and was told that he cant choose his number and if he insists, he will have to pay for it.

consumable applies to calls only and not with sms since it comes with 75 free texts already. sms sent in excess of allocated free text is billed on top of the 300 monthly.

hindi pa sis. I'm sure smart will not allow me to have numbers such as these for free:

09xx - 8666000
09xx - 5756666

they are my smart prepaid numbers, by the way.

went to the smart shockwave event at SM Southmall yesterday. and, boy, was it a huge disaster!

my mom and I applied for a gold lite 300 plan very early (about 1030am) with a bundled low-end  fone (nokia 6151). the girl from Smart told us we will be called up within the day to notify us if we got approved and so we can choose our numbers and get our sims. about 2pm, there still is no call, so we went back to the shockwave area. the same girl told us there has been a problem with the applications, in that they would not be able to release all the sims. she told us that we'd be called up within the week on how we could get our sims. she said they could have them delivered, together with phones. it was a huge disappointment. now, we have to wait for the call and settle everything. we should have just gone to any wireless center and everything would have been faster. argh!

btw, the girl said we could choose our numbers as long as they are still available. I wasn't able to ask her what the prefix would be, and how many digits of the whole number we could set. (with Sun cell, it's the last 6 digits.)

[Sui_Generis]

^the smart gold lite plan has a prefix of 0928.

I'll be going to MOA today to see if I could secure a gold lite plan for myself sans the phone.

Ask ko lang po about SMART ROAMING, what if nasa abroad na ako and gusto ko ipa-activate yung roaming ng sim ko? Pano ko gagawin yun? Nawala kase yung sim ng friend ko na roaming and she badly needs a roaming sim.

Thanks!

ayaw gumana yung inquiry ng current balance now, maintenance daw. it's been like that for a month or so. 1200 consumable plan yung sakin.

[Sui_Generis]

^try mo sis their online billing.

[ana-tin]

^ yeah sis, i'm registered online kaya lang ang gusto ko sana malaman yung running balance ko. online i can only see the amount i need to pay. thru smart menu sa current balance inquiry i get to know my outstanding balance din not just that of the latest bill.

[cutecon]

there has been a system migration kasi since 2nd week of November.

[ana-tin]

^ i wonder until when yon. it's hard para sa mga post paid subscribers that you don't get to monitor magkano na yung bill mo at a particular time since there's a big tendency for you to just call and call and call. di mo alam way way beyond your plan na pala yung nagagamit mo. good luck na lang sa bill. sana maayos na nila.

[toosexy]

Sis, you may check your bill online; - http://smart.com.ph/connect/. You will receive your verification code via SMS.

[pink_oranges22]

grabe nakakainis na. wala pa ring call from Smart regarding yung inapply naming gold lite plan nung Shockwave. may binigay na number ng smart wireless southmall para in case daw gusto namin i-follow up. pero walang sumasagot dun sa number. at nung tinanong ng mom ko sa smart kung ano number ng smart wireless southmall, hindi daw yun ang number dun. isang malaking kalokohan lang ba yung Shockwave na yun. Badtrip na talaga!

[ana-tin]

^^ sis i am registered in that site. clicking on balance inquiry in that site only gives the current balance which is the amount i will have to pay on or before due date. what i am after sis is knowing my running balance which i am able to know through the smart menu. diba like my cutoff date for the billing is every 3rd of the month, say December 3. then November 20 pa lang i feel like i've exceeded the consumable amount na. so what i do is inaalam ko through smart menu kung magkano na yung nagagamit ko so far on that very day, November 20. diba yung narereceive na text will tell you yung amount na nagamit mo na so far. like kunyari ang naconsume ko na 908.02. tapos after a few days inquire ako again, 1345.90 na. haba ng explanation ko.  i'm sure people get me na. 

i've also tried calling customer service, i was told they they are not privy of the running balance, something to that effect. yung balance lang ng bill ko that is to be paid ang sinasabi sakin.

[jojielyn]

im a smart user now since globe signal sucks! Just want to ask if ok naman ba sila sa billing. nagrereflect ba yung tamang usage sa bill? 1st month kaze namin ni hubby. Im plan 800 and my hubby is plan 2500. Para mawarningan ko na si hubby ngayon palang heavy user kaze siya.

[merryjazz]

In our experience, walang problem sa billing ng smart. well-accounted naman sya palagi.

Smart's signal is always excellent in our place kahit pa sa province at sa beach kaya kahit mas mura ang Sun, we stayed under Smart.

Anyone here who watch with their hdtv phone?  We can watch na kasi cartoon network and such with our phones.  Anyone???
