PLDT provides free WiFi zone in Subic

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT WiFi Zone is bringing Subic Bay Freeport to the rest of the world by providing free WiFi service to visitors and travelers in the area from April 5 to May 5.

The WiFi zone enables the public to connect to the Internet as they visit popular destinations at the freeport zone such as the Zoobic Safari, Subic Yacht Club Hotel, Pier One, Royal Subic, Times Square Cinema, and the Meat Plus/Freeport Exchange.

 “We are glad to bring the WiFi zone to Subic Bay visitors so that they will be able to share in real time photos or videos of their vacation this summer to their families and friends here and abroad,” PLDT Home Wired Data Head Gary Dujali said.

Other areas covered by the WiFi zone are Subic’s Remy Field, Eastern Gasoline Station, Petron Gasoline Station, PLDT Subictel, and the area along the Subic Bayfront boardwalk.

 “The WiFi zone complements myDSL service at home, allowing customers to stay connected even outside their home,” Dujali said.

After May 5, myDSL subscribers may continue to experience the same strong connection outside the home, in Subic and other WiFi zones in key cities nationwide by just adding P150 to their monthly subscription. Meanwhile, Subictel and other PLDT landline subscribers will just add P300 to their monthly subscription to get the unique WiFi pin which allows access to WiFi zones nationwide.

During the Holy Week break, PLDT also provided free WiFi zone access to travelers in gasoline stations along North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEx). The telecommunications company’s WiFi zones also powered establishments and landmarks in nearby towns and cities like Tagaytay and Laguna.

The Internet access is a valuable tool for travelers as they chronicle their trip and post live photos and updates as they happen via twitter, Facebook, or other social networking sites. It also connects them to news and travel sites that give them the latest traffic information.

Currently, PLDT has over 3,500 WiFi zones in key cities nationwide, including Metro Manila, Cebu, Baguio, and Davao, and more coming soon. To subscribe, customers can go to visit www.pldtWiFizone.com.
