Smart has announced last week that they will be changing their default data charging rate from Php5 for 15 minutes to Php2 for every 1MB. This is effective November 28, 2017. The new Php2/MB rate now removes the default time-based charging for all Smart Postpaid accounts.
We are enhancing our pay-per-use data billing model of Php 5 for every 15 minutes of data consumed to Php 2 for every 1MB consumed. With this enhancement, we will be able to better serve you and your data needs. Please read below to know the new benefits, features, and change in postpaid experience — Effective November 28, 2017
All existing Smart postpaid comes with an Add-on Data Plan. If the data allocation for the plan has been completely depleted, subscribers may choose to (1) subscribe to another data add-on plan OR (2) enroll to the Php2/MB default data rate by texting DATA ON to 9999.
You get notifications when your Php2/MB usage reaches Php500, Php1,000 and Php2,000 amount. The additional charges stop at Php2,500 so you won’t pay for data more than this amount. Technically, you will get unlimited data at Php2,500. However, your speed will be throttled to just 128Kbps until the end of the billing cycle.

Bakit copy paste sa comment at reply yung ronald? Tiga smart ka ba?
Pabasa na lang din yung FAQs ng Smart sa website nila. Pag naubos na data allocation di na makaka access sa internet nila unless mag subscribe ng data add on o kaya mag register sa 2 pesos per MB. Wow na wow
hahay tataba at tibatiba na naman ang mga na upper management ng smart. fat ass.
Apektado na mga Corpo Account SIm dito?
Lang kwenta talaga tong smart. sana matuloy yung pasok nang new telco para mag mura sila lahat..,
Wait, this applies to Smart Postpaid only? What about Smart Prepaid and Smartbro accounts?
congratulations smart, you have reached a new level of dumb!
im a heavy bandwidth user, i currently use PLDC, i mean pldt lol.
normally, i consume around 1gb of data a day. and 9-10gb when i do something heavy like downloading.
jesus, ph will be the laughing stock once again in the international forums…
we will be heavily shatted upon once again by foreigners, because anywhere else has better internet plans
than our developing country,
LOL! what part kaya ng statement ang magulo?
SMART will still have its data plan promos, this will only take effect once your ADD ON DATA PROMOS, DATA PLAN runs OUT, the USER still decides if he will get another DATA PROMO or THIS NEW DATA charges..
anong pinag sasabi nyo mga kalokohan dyan?
gahaman talaga
bogo ka! “We are enhancing our pay-per-use data billing model of Php 5 for every 15 minutes of data consumed to Php 2 for every 1MB consumed.”
yung 5 pesos atleast 20MB+ na nga yung ma download ko sa 15 minutes pag LTE
Hindi to nyo e-enhanced. pinalala nyo lang yung internet ng pilipinas, ang taas kaya masisingil nyo pag LTE yung network, malakas MB download rate. dapat 5 pesos ginawa nyo 30 minutes.
hindi ka affected kasi siguro hindi malakas gamit mo ng data. good for you. e pano naman ang katulad ko na heavy data user na nakatira sa isang isla na walang DSL, hindi uubra ang mga data add-ons. kailangan ko at least 5GB per day data, and even higher when downloading larger files. as of now, naka open data lang ako, willing to pay P20/hour. pero with this new scheme, limited ako to 1.25GB per month kasi throttled na pag umabot ng P2,500 ang data consumption. uulitin ko, hindi uubra sa situwasyon ko ang Surfmax at Gigabytes kaya naka open data lang ako. Kaya suwerte mo kasi hindi ka affected. kaya sana tumahimik na lang ang mga hindi affected at pabayaan niyo kaming affected to voice out our feelings about this over-priced data scheme.
Putik Smart ano na nman yan mga gahaman, patay nah lahat consumer nyo
itinatapon ng smart mga users nila sa kabila. pero honestly comparing between smart and globe, mas ok connection ng smart, sa globe mas mura mas panget connection. pero i hope smart do charge us accordingly
buti pa siguro bombahin nalang mga tower…ang laki na ng nagastos ko dito…
now i realize kaya pala mayroong anti terorist ay dahil din dito…hahayyyyyy buhay
Napansin ko lang ang daming nagalit agad. Eto po yung nakalagay sa article:
“All existing Smart postpaid comes with an Add-on Data Plan. If the data allocation for the plan has been completely depleted, subscribers may choose to (1) subscribe to another data add-on plan OR (2) enroll to the Php2/MB default data rate by texting DATA ON to 9999.”
Hindi naman po automatic na Php2/MB pakibasa na lang ulit
Malinaw naman na hindi automatic. ang kinagagalit lang namin e masyadong mahal ang P2/MB. halimbawa, gusto mo mag-update ng Facebook at Messenger mo dahil may bagong version. halimbawa, ang total ng dalawang updates e 125MB. tapos gagamit ka ng data to update. magkano? 125MBxP2=P250. yan ang nagastos mo sa pag-update. E dati, P5/15 minutes ang charge, so sa P5 mo, na-update mo na ang Facebook at messenger mo at may chance ka pang manood ng video clip sa Youtube dahil hindi naman aabot ng 5 minutes ang pag-update nung FB at Messenger mo.. Yun ang point nung iba. parang masyadong mahal ang P2/MB na charge.
If you’re not heavy on data usage, you can opt to register to GIGA50 for 1GB (3 days). para tipid. Pero kung heavy data user ka (tulad ko), magre-react ka talaga kasi dati naka-open lang ang data ko kasi kulang ang 1GB for one day sa akin and Am willing to pay P20/hour. kaya yung mga heavy sa data usage lang ang affected talaga nito. kasi mapapamahal sila (kasama ako) kung hindi ko ililimit sa 1GB ang data usage ko. Which is in my case, impossible.
Kaya kung hindi ka affected, good for you. But let those who will be affected by this new scheme (like me) to voice out their anger.
how about prepaid are we also affected by these? I sometimes use the minute based charging to download huge files using LTE/4G.
