MANILA, Philippines - PLDT-owned Smart Communications Inc. is now offering postpaid plans without lock-in periods and fixed monthly service fees.
Smart postpaid business head Kathy Carag said the new Freedom Plan would give subscribers greater flexibility in their plan use.
“As the only mobile postpaid plan with no fixed monthly service fee in the Philippines, Freedom gives subscribers the choice to use their postpaid plan the way they see fit. No fixed monthly service fees, no lock-ins and no complicated application process,” Carag said in a statement.
She explained that the plan would enable users to purchase service “buckets” such as Trio Talk 150 which offers 150 minutes of calls to Smart, Sun, and Talk ‘N Text subscribers for 15 days for only P150, and All Text 200 which includes 2000 texts to all networks and 150 megabytes of mobile surfing for 30 days for only P200.
These buckets allow for a fully-customizable postpaid use giving subscribers more value for their money. With no monthly service fee, Freedom subscribers may also use their plans on a per minute or a per text basis.
“Pay only for what you consume, it’s that simple. We encourage the public to try out the Smart Postpaid Freedom Plan and see for yourself how truly flexible, reliable, and convenient this service is,” said Carag.
“Smart Postpaid Freedom Plan gives you various Tri-Net packages that allow you to call or text to the three major networks, Smart, Sun, and Talk ‘N Text, at very affordable prices. That’s a clear advantage of being part of our community of subscribers,” she added.
To sign up for the plan, a subscriber can simply visit any Smart store, present one valid school or company ID and pay for the P250 application fee. The Smart Freedom SIM would be activated within the next 24 hours. A credit limit also ensures that users do not spend more than P600. As a bonus, a subscriber can get a 10 percent rebate on the first six months of your subscription.
