With so many plans and options to get mobile 3G, I wonder which one tops the list for most internet users. I’ve counted over half a dozen ways to hook up on mobile 3G — our next poll asks which one do you often use?
Please go to our poll section on the side bar and take your pick from the ff. 3G services:
- Smart Mobile 3G (via my 3G Phone)
- SmartBro Plugit! Postpaid
- SmartBro Plugit! Prepaid
- PLDT WeRoam
- Globe Visibility
- Globe 3G Per KB
- Globe 3G Per Minute
- umobile 3G
- Sun Cellular 3G
I’ve already included umobile 3G even if there are only a couple thousand users nationwide as well as the still-to-be-launched Sun Cellular 3G.
Come to think of it, PLDT WeRoam and SmartBro Mobile 3G are practically competing products by the same telco. My guess is one of them will soon be phased out.

Is it me or the poll is not working for me?
I use Globe 3G per KB (LGKU250).
My bet is that PLDT WeRoam is the one that will be phased out soon.
isnt weroam targetted more to businesses and has faster speeds?
I it all depends on the manner how you use it. Like for me I use Time based when I enter in to a data intensive site or web application. Thru Time based unlimited for the amount of data I send and I receive to the time duration specified. Ex. Youtube, Google Maps Google Search, Profimail Downloading MP3 and Movies etc. But if you are using an application that uses a low bandwidth usage I rather use a data or per KB charging. Ex. Operamini, Yahoo Go, YehBA Mobile IM, etc. You can stay connected for 24/7 with your IM buddies with out having a PC. Different individuals have different ways of using mobile internet. Is a matter on how they will use it. For me as a mobile internet user 24/7 i choose Globe 3G performance wise but still have an erratic billing system.
@ jamie If you are using Globe prepaid and you are subject to http polling which make the connection to slow down because every 5 sec the system will poll and uses intensive amount of data where many Globe Prepaid users don’t know. Unlike for postpaid it uses a full TCP/IP internet connection that makes it more attractive meaning data will only be used if there is an action. To bad why Globe have different system for each Plan.
It says already voted.
Voting for Globe Visibility, since my father is subscribed last week (only learned about it this morning). Seems ok, might get my own account
PS
Abe, try PollDaddy.com or Vizu.com (still can’t decide myself of the two).
