Nice thread.. I'm thinking of getting sun pa naman, hindi pala pwede pag out of town. Now im torn between globe and smart.

Nationwide na din ang Sun pero baguhan pa lang sila dun e. Marami pa rin EDGE pa rin ang signal. Mas ok pa rin Smart.

[caramelli]

^thanks sis! baka smart nalang kunin ko.

[17arci]

^kung gusto mo mag-prepaid ka muna para ma-test mo kung anong network mas magandang signal sa lugar nyo

[caramelli]

^sabi ng pinsan ko ok daw ang sun. kaso nabasa ko dito sis na hindi raw ok pag out of town ginamit.

Gusto ko din sana nitong pocket wi fi. Kaya lang parang di ko na masusulit since may unli data plan na ko sa globe and yung iphone 4s ko capable naman mag share sa ibang gadget ng personal hotspot (internet sharing) nya.

[bratinella08]

tried Globe, Sun and Smart if i'm out of town, for me, SMART ang pinaka okay, need ko my for online games 

[caramelli]

bumili ako ng huawei E5331 pocket wifi tapos nag smart postpaid plan nalang ako, 999 lang unlimited na for a month. gusto ko kasi matest kung ok ang signal sa area namin kaya initially, bumili muna ako ng prepaid. ok naman, mabilis at hindi napuputol connection, nagagamit ko pa sya sa work.

i have the e5331 as well then postpaid sa globe. so far so good. malakas talaga internet connection ng globe kahit out of town although there are certain areas na hirap parin. i think sa province mas malakas ang smart visayas/mindanao pero developed ang network ng globe sa cebu and davao afaik

sa download, sobrang bilis.

Mga sis, meron ba sa SMART na UnliSurf for a day sa prepaid? Yung parang sa Globe din? Saka if yung pocket wifi is capable of 4G/LTE, sa Smart ba yun din magiging signal (sa mga Smart LTE-enabled areas), o 3G lang?

[missreese]

pag pocket wifi pwede ba to sa online games yung mga MMORPG?

[_AiaH_]

^ yes. i use mine to download large files (movies, songs, programs). it works like any regular wifi connection at home except that it's mobile. you can bring it anywhere.

[cruxito]

mga sis pa feedback naman if nag iinit sya? if so gaano kainit?  baka kasi in the long run mag malfunction dahil sa overheat.

[Shadow Angel]

Yap same with me sobrang init i think sadayng ganun...2-3 hrs nga lang tumatagal saan kaya makakabili ng extra battery

[_AiaH_]

@cruxito, yes it heats up but they have safety features naman. huawei devices turn itself off when it detects na the temperature is too high for operation or it turns off the WLAN. it does not heat up with regular browsing, only when downloading or streaming media. basta when it's operating at high speeds, that's when it heats up saka kapag mahina signal where it constantly searches for a 3G signal.

^ sis try sulit for the battery. i found a shop at eton cyberpod that sells batteries for huawei devices.

[caramelli]

natutuwa ako sa pocket wifi ko, mas reliable pa kesa sa DSL namin. hindi ko pa naexperience na naputol ang connection, nakakapag download din ako ng movies at the same time ang dami ko ring online apps na nakaopen.

[kaisha]

yey! finally, was able to buy a huawei pocket wifi na..i'm using smart sim muna..so far, malakas naman signal..

[grace08]

Nakaunli data ako sa sun kainis sobrang bagal and true laging edge sa out of town. Kaya load ulit ako ng globe. My trips were bataan zambales cavite and baguio. Althroughout the way to baguio edge. Kakasisi 30monthacpntract pa naman buti na lang di ako nag note2 kundi lalong sisi much.

[Tootsie31]
