MANILA, Philippines – Telecommunications giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has unveiled a new product that aims to revolutionize the residential landline segment by giving Filipinos unprecedented freedom to make calls all over the country all the time.
PLDT unleashed yesterday PLDT Call All, the first and only free local call service from all over the country.
The PLDT Call All Bundle consists of an existing PLDT wired landline and a PLDT Landline Plus (PLP) second line SIM offered absolutely free to current residential PLDT landline subscribers. The PLP second line SIM which can be used in any open line handset allows one to make free local calls to any landline number in the same local calling area.
The PLDT Call All service comes all-in at only P850 a month. That means for an additional P250 on a subscriber’s PLDT landline bill, one instantly gain unparalleled mobility to call from anywhere in the country.
“PLDT Call All is our way of giving our existing landline subscribers the best deal out there. They might as well get it from PLDT because we’re the leader in the industry with the technology and expertise to offer it. That’s a benefit we want to impart to our subscribers who have been loyal all these years,” according to PLDT assistant vice president for acquisitions Patrick Tang.
With PLDT Call All, there are no metered calls for local calling, no hidden charges, and no membership fees. Landline calls have never been this affordable, Tang said.
He pointed out that with the PLDT Call All feature, a Manila subscriber can take his PLP second line SIM to Cebu and call his friends in Manila for free. A doctor from Baguio may be in a seminar in Bacolod and still check on his patients back home at no additional cost. A mother from Ilocos can have peace of mind knowing her kids vacationing in Boracay are just a phone call away as long as they have their PLP second Line SIM on hand.
Once a subscriber signs up for the PLDT Call All Bundle, their monthly service fee is automatically converted to P850. For new subscribers, simply apply for a PLDT landline with an installation fee of only P1,100 and immediately avail of the Call All Bundle. The installation fee also comes with a choice of a free PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid SIM with free P300 load or a free caller ID unit. The PLDT Call All Service is immediately activated upon installation of the new landline.
