PLDT WeRoam got cheaper?

Not sure about the timing but it seems that PLDT slashed a few hundred pesos off their WeRoam prepaid and post-paid subscription fees around the time Globe Innove commercially launched its competing product, Globe Visibility.

Just take a look at PLDT WeRoam’s current pricing scheme:

WeRoam Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet(via AirborneAccess up to 2Mbps)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet (up to 140kbps)
Application Fee: Php 2,500
Monthly Recurring Fee: Php 1,200
Free Use of Mobile Data Card

WeRoam PLUS Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet(via AirborneAccess up to 2Mbps)
Unlimited 3G/HSDPA Internet (up to 1.8Mbps)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet (up to 140Kbps)
Application Fee: Php 2,500
Monthly Recurring Fee: Php 1,700
Free Use of Mobile Data Card

Prepaid Subscriptions
Php 10,860 : Mobile Data Card + 3 months subscription
Php 14,220 : Mobile Data Card + 6 months subscription
Php 20,940 : Mobile Data Card + 12 months subscription

Once your subscription expires, you can buy prepaid e-loads via your Smart Mobile Phones:

Using a SMART phone with an active SMART Money account, text : , and send to 270.

* Example:<1day><0918918xxxx>

Reload rates ran from Php75 per day, Php405 per week or Php1,120 for 30 days.

Let’s see how Globe will respond to these price cuts. First, I gotta talk to them and get me a trial account. :D

    Smart have better 3G signal than globe. you may want to test HSDPA not only in metro manila but also in key cities of the country. try globe outside ortigas, makati and edsa if hsdpa works, then try weroam….

    I’ve been using pldt we roam. Your speed depends on the availability of 3G connection in your area. If 3g is available then you will get an HSDPA signal. I live in Mandaluyong, I only get 3 bars of HSDPA signal.

    What is the best to connect internet here in San Agustin, Romblon, Phil. we have no Idia

    Yeah, boohoo for the weroam! I am currently using it typing my entry here while opening some video hosting sites. The fastest I get before 12 am is around 60kbps at 77% signal(or 3 bars of 5). Just a teeny bit faster than dial-up at way-up costs! Doing the math, 100% signal won’t even reach the 1.8 Mbps promised speed.

    I’ve been trying to apply for WeRoam but PLDT has not responded my application….

  13. Gravatar Icon Alvin replied on Jul 29th, 2008 at 3:04 pm (13)

    I’ve been waiting for the approval of my weroam applications for months now.. when they first contacted me.. the AE said that my weroam is ready for release but they only want me/my company to submit corporate papers, financial statements, etc. to expedite the release..we complied and 3 months later…”Sir, still under process” WTH.. and then later.. sir, matagal po talaga mag release, sir nasa credit investigation dept..then another alibi..i lost count…so maybe I’ll have to wait for another 5 years(remember this scenario when PLDT is the only landline provider, you have to wait years for phone to be available in your area)..

    Paging PLDT weroam…or what is it now.. PLDT SME Nation??? LOL

    If you are sane, do not consider using PLDT WeRoam! It sucks big time! I only remember a couple of instances where I got about 1Mbps during download. Post-sales support also sucks. It appears PLDT employs the most stupid tech support agents.

    PLDT are Pathetic Like Dog Turds
