all about Smart

[sublime_79]

kamusta ang data plan ng Smart? mabilis ba? thanks! pano kaya if data plan lang kunin ko and i dont want a phone? cheaper kaya sa 1k ang babayaran for an unli mobile internet for a month? TIA!

sis, if you have a prepaid sim, you can try the always on plan. the always on 300 is for 250 mb and can be used for 30 days. you can check the remaining unused volume and a text alert will be sent pag malapit na maubos [textspeak!] volume. this will definitely limit your gastos sa data to less than a thousand in a month.

mas ok speed ng smart than globe for me

Plan pala ang smart data. Wala bang prepaid card na nabibili para ma ka pag internet sa smart. Ayoko kasi nang plan kasi talagang every month ka na magbabayad nang same amount tapos wala naman akong balak bumili nang smart phone open line ang phone ko. nagkataon lang na yung sim na matagal ko nang ginagamit ay smart. Balak ko sana bumili i phone pero gusto ko open line pa rin.

thanks sis sublime! pano yun, kasi diba me mga app talaga na gumagamit ng mobile network ng di mo alam i mean, for example yung YM or yung FB... background data ata tawag dun.. yung bigla na lang me magnonotify sayo kahit nasa home ka... hindi ba madaling mauubos yung always on nila dahil dun?

no sis, it's not a postpaid plan. you can use your prepaid sim to avail of the always on plan.

surprisingly di sya mabilis maubos. i used to avail the unli data for a week na worth 300 and when i used the alwayson thingie, i realized mas sulit sya. if you want sis, try the PhP 50 always on package first. good for 30 days din to. then check your remaining volume every day so you will be able to compute kung ilang gb yung nacoconsume mo in a month

[katniss]

^thank you sis! will do that!

di ko gets yung smart.  sa bb ko, if i'm not subscribe to bis, i have to turn off data services kasi kung hindi, automatic nababawasan ako ng P10/30min.  pay mag-try ako mag-browse, ayaw naman nya mag-connect.

[charmedPrue]

^ sis, you need to set your APN to blackberry.net para di ka mabawasan if you're not subscribed to BIS

[babygirl44]

it's subscribed to blackberry.net sis. but nababawasan pa din ko ng P10 as soon as i turn data services on.  nakaka-frustrate.  pos i tried browsing nung nabawasan ako, but di naman ako make-connect. 

[charmedPrue]

^ unless sis naka-BB Social or BB Email ka lang?

[katniss]

Smart na ko! chos! grabe mas gumagana Smart kesa sa Globe sa HTC Desire S ko. ang saya lang kasi nakailang tawag at punta na ko sa Globe pero di nila napagana mobile network ko pero sa Smart, wala nang tawag tawag pa, automatic na yung mobile net.

anyway, I am subscribed to their Always On 300. Ambilis!! sana maglast to ng two weeks katulad kay sis sublime. haha!

btw, pwede ba kapag nakaalways on ka tas magrereg ka rin sa Unlisurf nila? kasi im planning to reg unlisurf during weekends kasi nasa bahay lang tapos Always On naman pag weekdays. Thanks!

[sublime_79]

^ hi sis. sorry ngayon lang ako ulit nakapag girltalk. hindi pwede sabay iavail yung always on and unli. with always on sis, you can always check your remaining volume balance and they will also send you an SMS kapag malapit na maubos yung volume ng availed plan.

musta pala yung always on 300 mo? hope it lasted more than 2 weeks

i have smart sim with smartmoney in it.  if you have no transactions pala for a long time for about 2-3 months, binabawasan nila yung smartmoney mo.  tapos i-deactivate na nila if wala ng amount.  para ma-activate ulit, you have to load a minimum P100 smartmoney from them.

parang they are stealing, kasi money mo pa rin yun di ba.  mas malala pa sila sa bank, kasi sa bank 1 year saka nila babawasan kapag idle passbook mo.

[pret_ty68]

Mga sis paano ba mag load pag naka roaming. Nasa hong kong kasi ako tapos biglang nawalan nang load yung cp ko.

[sublime_79]

sis, magpaload ka na lang from someone who's in the philippines

[pretty_in_victorian]

i've been a long time smart postpaid subscriber.. never pa akong nag g-globe.. nakaaasar lang kasi i get delayed text messages tapos everyday ko nang nirereport until kanina sinabi ng kausap ko na wala na daw silang magagawa kundi mag check ng mag check everyday kung may delay pa.. ano ba naman yun..

[fibia]

Globe  called me  today offering the iphone 4s  and telling me i am qualified (does this mean  approved) for the retention program  and that i can get the iphone 4s  The 16gb white model.   Its at 25100 cash out plus p999/mo unlimited surfing. They invited me to the launch on dec16 i can get it na daw that day.  Sabi nya lang i need to pay my unpaid dues before the 16th eh may pending rebate pa ako na nasa 3k from them. He will call me again tomorrow  to confirm kasi hindi ko sya sinagot kung iaavail ko yung retention. 

Then today a few hours after, smart called me inviting me to the iphone 4s launch party on dec 15.  Yes its thursday the party is at dec 15  10pm-4am. The rep has no idea on pricing but said if i prefer to pay in credit card i can get the unit  on the event itself. If cash then i can get it in any smart wireless center but date is unknown.


Question is, which one should i get?

^Smart kasi mas mabilis talaga ang mobile internet nila. Globe user ako before, but two months ago napachange sa Smart magmula nung nabili ko yung HTC ko gawa ng ambagal ng net ng Globe.

btw, girls! bakit kaya di makatanggap ng load tong number ko? :| weird lang! dalawang paloadan na triny ko pero ayaw talaga. tapos ayaw rin magbuddy balance at wala akong narereceive na notif sa pasaload pero pinapasahan ako. natatawagan at natetext naman ako sa number na to. can anybody help me please? THANK YOU!

[pretty_in_victorian]

^ maybe you could call 888 1111 from your land line.. it's their *888 customer service din.. baka sa settings lang ng phone mo yan sis.. para ma assisst ka din nila regarding that matter..

ang ayoko sa smart, mabagal yung CS nila whether you use the *888 or the 888 1111 number.. sa smart bro mabilis lang.. sa 211 naman ng globe mabilis din.. parang i had to wait for about 2 seconds lang yesterday for the globe CS to answer.. sa smart mga 15-30 mins..

this exact same thing happened to me except that it was a globe sim. ilang beses ako nagpabalik balik sa globe hanggang ako na mismo ang nagpalit ng sim kasi ilang linggo na e di pa siya ayos.
