Poll: Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile Subscription?

For the past decade, I’ve always been on prepaid mobile subscription and the first time I switched to postpaid was when I bought the iPhone 3G last year.

Having had some billing issues on my postpaid account lately made me think if I should go back to prepaid again (besides, I’m no heavy texter or caller). Obviously, there are some advantages and disadvantages between the two.

This brings us to our poll of the week — are you on prepaid or postpaid? Why?

Please do send your answers to our Poll section on the right side and/or add a comment below.

    I’m an American and am very confused with the cell service here in the Philippines. All I want is a post pay service that allows me to call any cell phone or land line. Why is it so difficult to get a real cell phone plan — one that works. I know in the USA a phone is a phone call anyone, your plan dictates how much to spend and notifies you when you have reached your allowable minutes. Any suggestions out there for a dumb American just wanting a phone service that works, please let me know… thanks

    In my opinion,GLOBE PREPAID.

    May freedom ka to choose promo na swak sa budget at kailangan mo.
    Pag nawala ang sim card mo, pinapalitan din sa Globe Center,( For Free ).
    You can monitor your monthly usage.
    Though hassle nga lang ang pag loload.

    Hi, before naka business starter plus ako sa globe which is 499. unli call to globe and tm plus 300 text to all networks. per minute charging to other networks is 6.50 and sa sosobrang 300 text to all networks will be multiply sa .50cents. after 2 years contract with free handset (nokia smart phone), they offered me na kunin ang loyalty reward which is bill rebate for another 24months lock in period, total less is 240 pesos. so from 499-240=259 na lang a month ang bill ko (if globe and tm lang call mo and di ka lalagpas ng 300 text). well if lumagpas man, mag additional na lang sa 259… now thats genius!!! LOVE IT…

    i bough a sim card Globe last monday 24 and i dial *143# and choose promo.. then i tried to unli SUPER 25 b this is i always get from 8888
    “Sorry, ikaw ay naka-subscribe sa isang service na hindi pwedeng gamitin kasabay ng Globe SUPER-UNLI. Hintayin na mag-expire ito so you can register to SUPER-UNLI.”
    how can 8888 say I”m still registered to UNLITXT20?
    Is this Globe’s one way of lessening SUPERUNLI25 users? Will I be able to register SUPERUNLI25 again?
