New and improved Talk 'N Text Tipid-Sulit SIM pack offers host of new services

MANILA, Philippines - A new and improved Talk ‘N Text SIM pack is now available to provide mobile subscribers with the most affordable call and text services, plus a host of advanced value-added services. The new Talk ‘N Text Tipid-Sulit SIM pack features an updated menu and a simplified list of services, at the same affordable price of P30, with 25 free text messages to all networks.

The new features built into the new Tipid-Sulit SIM include services that were previously only available to subscribers using SIM cards from leading wireless services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART). The world-first Pasa Load now allows Talk ‘N Text subscribers to pass on to each other P15, P10, P5 or P2 worth of their own airtime balances. International roaming is now also available in the new Talk ‘N Text

Tipid-Sulit SIM.

Mobile banking is now also available in the new SIM, enabling Talk ‘N Text subscribers to conveniently perform basic banking transactions such as balance inquiry, funds transfer, Smart Money reload, prepaid top-up, and bills payment from bank accounts activated and linked with their celphone.

Said Perry Bayani, head of marketing at Talk ‘N Text: “Our subscribers have traditionally benefitted from the ‘nationwidest’ network

coverage of Talk ‘N Text, its affordable offers, and the convenience of finding prepaid load wherever they are. The improved Talk ‘N Text SIM pack expands this host of benefits, and is a natural progression of our strategy of providing the most basic yet advanced services to our

subscribers, at least cost.”

The new Talk ‘N Text Tipid-Sulit SIM pack is available from all SMART resellers everywhere, and prepaid load for it is available from over a million load retailers nationwide. As of end-March 2010, the subscriber base of Talk ‘N Text has reached 17.4 million, and the growth has been attributed to the ‘real’ value-for-money offers of the brand, with some bucket promos that offer as low as P.10 for every SMS.
