Got wind of this from a contact last week. So it’s true that Smart has this promo of free 100 text message when you reload Php300 and Php500 call cards.
At first, I was told that Smart wanted to do some experiment in blog marketing and wanted to the word out 72 hours before they officially advertise this promo. It looks like Smart is feeling the Philippine blogging atmosphere and wanted to how much reach we have as bloggers.
A day after that, I got an email from a reader asking:
may kilala ba kau sa smart? just wanna confirm f its true when u buy call n text cards, u get free 100 text na smart 2 smart. yung friend ko kc nakakuha ng text pero until sunday lang daw ito. i want to know. thanks
Yesterday, I reloaded Php300 to my Smart number but I didn’t know what else to do in order to get that allegedly free SMS credits. Just a few minutes ago, I got a message from Smart Alert:
You have received 100 Smart to Smart text valid for 60 days! Thank you for loading.
Nice.
Loading ...
got those same texts too. =) nice extra load 100 free text messages
nice! Smart din ako, got my 100 free text din. dadami na naman ang contributors sa text messages blog ko. hehehe.
Smart din po ako. Yup, that’s right!
Oh. Crap! I’m a Sun/Globe user. LOL
sa globe naman “reload now and get 25 credit on GCASH”
Globe ako, pero nawala SIM ko. Is it time to switch to SMART? SMART na siguro talaga para flat rate na at hindi per kilobyte ang GPRS internet (can’t afford a 3G phone).

oh, gad. i’m THIS close to switching to smart, honestly. i’m so envious of the P1.00/mms rate.

This isn’t a new promo. Way back in the age of no electronic load/credits (ca. 2000) where the lowest denomination was Php100, the regular cards at Php300 had 100 free text messages to any network, (if I recall it right), and much more for the Php500 denomination.
They got greedy and reduced the free texts and sold it as “e-load smart-to-smart” credits only. Greed, I tell you. Greed. LOL
You also get free P90 load if you earn 30 star points. You earn points by loading.
Hhmm… is that applicable for eload 300pesos or does it have to be a PIN/e-PIN? Just an hour ago which is before I read this post, I loaded my Smart number with SmartLoad 300 but I got no message about the SMS. Any feedback about this?
