Last night, PLDT announced its new landline service called PLDT TelPad, a landline and broadband DSL service packed in an Android Tablet.
The PLDT TelPad is and Android 2.2. Froyo tablet powered by a 1Ghz Cortex A8. That means users can download apps and play on the 7-inch tablet. It comes with a 2GB internal storage but there’s an SD card slot and a USB port to extend that.
The TelPad also carries a 2-megapixel front camera for still shots and videoconference calls. I think calls can be made via a Bluetooth headset. It also comes with a dock for charging and an HDMI port that can be hooked into your TV.
The service starts at Plan 1849 which includes a landline number and a 1Mbps DSL connection. If you’re an existing PLDT myDSL customer, you can upgrade to this plan for an additional Php500 per month. The Android tablet comes free with the package.
Other PLDT TelPad plans are Plan 2099 at 1.5 Mbps (Php2,099 per month), Plan 3095 at 2.5 Mbps (Php3,095), and Plan 4100 at 3.5 Mbps (Php4,100).
I would like to follow up my application for internet.My landline is 8113467.
for those who are planning to get a telpad plan, Mag-isip muna kayo. I wont recommend. Take it from someone who experienced the worse! Ang gulo ng PLDT!
Cheers :)
ang ganda nila mag offer sa telpad pero mahina ang service nila kasi di naman lagi nasa ayos ang mga unit pag nagloko ang unit mo di mo alam kung saan mo ipapaayos nagtuturuan lang sila at the end iuuwi mo yung unit mo na sira pa rin walang kwenta ang after sales service nila.Mai stress ka lang kasi yung binabayaran mo di ka satisfied sa service nila.Tatapusin ko lang ang lock in period ko pati unit nila kanila na.iflix at fox di mo din magagamit kasi dami code hinihingi wala naman sila binibigay na access code.
owh i see. I plan p nmn mag avail nito, pero halos negative… ang impact s mga prospective customer nila…
I better change my mind,
d2 parin ako s GLOBE…
need for a promo on free used of tablet
naku ha! sobra naman itong pldt 3yrs yong lock in mo sa kanila para telpad tapos kung pinacancel mo yong Telpad service after the lock-in period ibabalik sa kanila ang unit???? bibili nalang ako ng samsung tab 15k lang mas upgraded pa.sana man lang after 3 yrs bigay nila sa kanilang mga subscriber yong unit anyway by that time laspag na yong unit…kagaya sa ibang malalaking telecompany pag nagpa postpaid ka bibigyan ka ng cellphone then 2 yrs lang mostly yong lock in mo..
What? Wla cla cnabing ganyan! Telpad din kinuha nmin tas ibabalik namin eh bnyaran nmin yun. S halagang P3095/month for 3yrs kala ko kya sya gnun kmahal dhil s bayad nmin yun s unit. Yun pla renta lng pla yun s unit! Punyemas! Tas ang hina n ng internet nmin ngyon
totoo po ba pag katapos mong bayaran ung Telpad ng 3 yrs… sa pldt pa rin po ba ung tablet?

Can I Play movies in the telpad w/out vcl player
which is not yet available in the android?
Please give instruction how to play movie in the
telpad.
thank you.
I honestly think that PLDT will continue to provide innovations when it comes to providing Internet services to their clients. This is a solid proof that defines the power of convergence.
has anyone called pldt to replace your unit to the upgraded gingerbread version? i was so frustrated before due to the lagging and slowness that i called pldt to cancel but they instead replace my unit with upgraded gingerbread. very satisfied now :) is there anyone with same experience? by d’way, the unit they gave me is the same AD1000 by the nugent of china but with the higher os. it wasgood surprise :)
dami ko na nainstalled na android market at HD games dungeon hunter,raging thunder2,gameloft nova masmadali na sa telpad usb to pc unlike b4, pero ganda pa rin ng performance nya! i was happily surprised about that. i hope pldt will keep this up and improve the android OS everytime with telpad. it will be pleasant to help make the confidence again with their customers like me. in my case, this was a good job by pldt!:)
Never once did i hear a “free” service or gadget that requires you to add any sort of fees. PLDT please change the meaning of the word free in all dictionaries and maybe somebody will believe you.
tanga nlng maniniwala sa pakulo ng pldt
will the unit can be used for internet while your out of your house… will we find only mall that has wifi.. i cant understand.. pls explain me further about the internet while ur out of ur house…
They need to reconsider the unit.
PLDT thinks the tablet usage would be just how they advertised it, but the customer’s actual usage would be far more demanding and the unit is not up to it!
Well… you get a China Droid with some sort of warranty.
The unit would somehow cost P100~200 a month, not P500, if you really need a 1mb plan. Coz for ordinary DSL 1mb is P1.6k-1.7k with telpad its P1.8k
telpad,doesnt meet their supposed to be performance! i got my 1st unit of telpad last march 22, and hangs so much and slow performance, ive called pldt about this,they replace the unit, but after 2weeks of using the 2nd unit,the same same problem arise! It hangs and slow dragging, pldt was to eager to release this telpad without really giving it a long road test, there are more cheape china droid for only 3000 to 4000 with the spec, terrible disappointed, i want to terminate my subscription, but they wil let you pay the rest of the lock in period, this is a robbery!
@ windtrek
+1
i want to return the telpad that i just got. advertisement was overwhelming but when i got the unit it did not meet my expectation.
I suggest PLDT to make a new release of so called TELPAD with new version of Android Honeycomb 3.0 to compete all features such as Samsung Tab 8.9, Ipad 2, Motorola XOOM and among others.I hope telpad always update their tablet yearly or quarterly..
I want to compete this technology to the whole world. Kindly export also this technology and name it other brand. Like PLDT pad or with a unique name branded in Philippines.
@jojo, bluetooth ~4 meters radius and wifi ~8-10 meters. it will still work pero hindi sa wifi ng bahay nyo connected :p
