Sun Cellular started it all back in October of last year with their anti-bill shock Plan 350. Earlier this week, both Smart and Globe also introduced the anti-bill shock feature.
For Globe, once you reach or exceed your volume or charge cap, they will switch you to Plan 999 with unlimited data (applies to any Postpaid Powersurf plans).
For Smart, any overage charges that exceeds the Php1,200 amount will cap you at that price for the current billing cycle. Smart Data Lite Plans 500, 800 and 1,000 and iPhone Plans 999 and 2499 will enjoy the worry-free data charge cap without the need to enrol or sign up for a separate package unlike those offered by the competition (Smart could be referring to Sun’s Plan 350).
Great move for both telcos to include this feature in their postpaid plans.
Hi guys umm I just wanna try to help regarding your concerns about the mobile surfing charge. I’ve worked in a telecom company before ( not in the phil though) the 250mb thats your limit, now you should really be careful with that bec. once you exceed that allowed usage you will be charged 10/30 mins ( as ive understoon on the forum) now if you keep on exceeding and your overage charges ( those are your extra charges the accumulated 10php/30 mins) and it reaches 1200php, smart will immediately close your account so that you wont acquire extra charges anymore. since you guys are the ones who chose your plan, its really your responsibility to know it by heart so that you wont earn overages
