PLDT uses Smart’s existing cell networks to operate the wireless landline via GSM. Bayantel and Globe on the other hand works on WCDMA which is why they broadband internet capability. PLDT Wireless Landline does not.

It’s like having another mobile phone with more free call and text credits.
More radio waves to kill the bees.
Isn’t wireless landline an oxymoron ?
yep i guess wireless landline is an oxymoron. I think the appropriate term is “wireless local loop”
You know naman here in our country, hardsell lagi, to the expense of creating new words and phrases, even if its an oxymoron or just plain…. you know…
10 hours call per month for PLDT… pretty useless.
I guess that’s the catch for getting nationwide coverage :p
span has internet capabilities,
pldt wireless rin ba?
i know the answer na
* Bayantel and Globe on the other hand works on WCDMA which is why they *
The above statement is incorrect. Bayantel and Globe uses a 3G version of CDMA (There’s a couple of them including CDMA2000, EV-DO and EV-DV. I’m not sure which one Bayantel and Globe uses) which is different from WCDMA. WCDMA is the air interface used by UMTS (3G upgrade of GSM).
Thanks
baka humina na ang texting ngayon
Don’t know where to put this , but as the text capital of the world, why don’t Smart or Globe make their own cellphone brands to compete with Nokia and Motorola. Mas magiging mura na ang cellphone, madami pang magkaka-trabaho sa Pinas!
10hours per month? what the?
hey guys you can describe it to the worst derogatory remark that you can imagine…but experiencing the comfort and easy access to reach you love ones is more important…that a cell phone is limited…
so kudos to this upgrade…but hoping a landline will be made soon….goodluck PLDT…keep up the good works!!!
PLDT not practical limited ang calls only 10 hrs/ month ? plus intallation fee, plus mahal pa ang Unit, anyway im using Bayan Span Now , im experiencing little inconvenience , but still its practical and ko sa budget.
how i apply a landline pldt wireless phone??
@hazel
you’re wasting your money babe. Go get a Bayan Wireless, we’re using bayan wireless phone for over a month na with IDD, NDD calls, and wallah! Business keeps on running while we sleep :D.
Got my bayantel wireless landline unit freely delivered to our place by simply following the steps in
http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/191070/Bayantel+Wireless+Landline
After 3 weeks, am still a very satisfied customer! Great product with reliable customer service.
is there extra charge for internet using bayan span or it’s inclusive of the package?
I think the internet rate is P0.30-0.35 per minute use. I am not sure where I read it, maybe in the site above also.
But I am currently connected through SmartBro. And since I’m still within the lock-in period, there’s no use for me to try Bayantel’s internet connection.
I have tried BAYAN! It’s absolutely useless, even it has full bar signal, still this landline will give you a hard time to reach people’s number. Definitely its not advisable during emergency! Sayang lang pera mo! Just use your cellphone if you have one!
I am just asking if the free 120 SMS of PLDT is for same network or even to other network?
BayanSpan is cheap and wise but the billing sucks, my bill arrives after my line has been disconnected and they ask me to pay the full amount without any considerations that the last month of my billing was never consumed because my phone is cut. I am blaming them but they always say “I-check lang po namin sa records namin”.
I was thinking of switching to PLDT pero when I read na limited lang calls nya, what the heck.
Mas gusto ko pang makipag-away sa Bayantel kesa magbayad ng mahal sa PLDT. hehehehehe.

Kawawa naman kaming smart postpaid subscribers. Ginamit nila ang network namin for their landline plus. Ang catch eh ang mura ng calls. Ang daya!
Nakuha ko ito sa isang blog.
•PLDT inadvertently reveals huge profit markup on SMART’s cellular service
•In case you were wondering how SMART can afford those massive advertising campaigns…
•Smart’s prepaid cards are about Php 6.50 per minute rounded to the highest minute
•Smart’s best postpaid plans come to about 4.58 peso per minute but you would would have to pay for 3500 pesos worth. 764 minutes or 12 3/4 hours.
•PLDT now offers what they call a wireless landline but it uses Smart’s cellular service as its carrier.
•PLDTs but they charge only 600 pesos for 600 minutes (10 hours). Even if you go over 600 minutes they still only charge you 1 peso per minute. Local Long distance is 5 pesos. Calling a cell phone is 6.50 per minute which makes me wonder why considering it’s the same system they charge 4.58.
•Even Smart to Smart is still a whopping 3.56
•So net of discussion, Smart and PLDT can still make a profit charging you 1 peso per minute, and yet for reasons that seem wholly arbitrary they will charge you 4-7 pesos per minute. A 300-700% markup just because its called a cell phone
•They must really think the public is stupid
•Now in an act of unbridled arrogance, PLDT is offering a SIM that you can put in any cellphone to avail of 50 free 5 minute calls (Say I love you faster honey) and 2 pesos a minute there after.
•The ultimate insult to SMART subscribers is that their current system isn’t configured for lots of calls, mostly its for texting, but with PLDT burdening the system with cheap talk, Smart subscribers will increasingly find good connections to be a thing of the past.
•Join the protest! Switch your cell phones from (not very) SMART to Globe or SUN and show SMART/PLDT that you won’t be jerked around anymore!
why globelines telephone cannot contact pldt wireless, somebody can help me
