After Smart put out their pre-order page on May 22, they’ve just added additional information on the postpaid plan that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is available.
Surprisingly, Smart has decided to give the Samsung Galaxy S3 on UnliData 2000. Smart did not indicate any other plan in which the handset is available.
With this plan, subscribers will have to pay Php2,000 a month in exchange for unlimited mobile internet, 200 free SMS and 150 free calls.
This puts the Galaxy S3 in the same UnliData plan as the Sensation XE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, and the iPhone 4.
However, instead of the standard lock-in period of 24 months, Smart is extending this to 30 months.

I’m not sure if I will want to be bonded to smart for 2 1/2 years… lol.. rather get it from another source other than the local telcos.

Wow,
Unlidata 2000 x 30 = 60k
(If it was 24 months = 48k)
Rival offers
1799 for 24 months plus cashout 4800 = 48k
With Smart you get locked in for 6 more months lol
the Globe 1799 offers more i think with 800 pesos consumable and 3 freebies of your choice
well that is just my opinion
60,000 php in 30 months! wow
Are they nuts? How about this i will pay your p2000 a month, but smart should have to guarente me a minimum of 7mbps down and 2Mbps up everywhere in manila
this “free” phone costs practically the same whether globe or smart (2499 x 24 =59976 VS 2000 x 30 = 60000).

I’d rather buy this unit in CASH! Then I’ll use it for SUN CELLULAR.. Because of its consistency, fast & reliable connection that u can count on… ALWAYS! Honestly I don’t like using GLOBE or SMART for dataplan services, TOO SLOW FOR THEM TO RESPONSE. It was so shame to use their internet services whether its MB Consumable plan or UNLI Plan…
Why do people always count the MSF (monthly service fee) of the plan multiplied by the number of months of the contract as the price of the phone?
You don’t pay for the phone, that’s why it’s called FREE.. What you are paying for is the services that you get like unlimited mobile internet, # of text messages, # of calls, and consumable amount..
So if you guys consider the MSF as the price of the phone, so what do you call the services that you are using each month that your telcos give you? FREE??? Since you’e saying that the MSF is the price of the phone, so you’re not paying anything for the services???? Where’s the logic in that?
What you are paying for is the services that you are using and not the phone..
Take for example Smart’s Unli Data Plan 2000:
Unlimited Internet: P1,000
200 Text Messages: P102 (at 0.51c/txt)
150 Calls in mins: P916.5 (at P6.11/min)
P1,000 + P102 + P916.50 = P2,018.50
and Globe’s Unli Surf Plan 1799:
Unlimited Internet: P999
Consumable Amount: P800
P999 + P800 = P1,799
The MSF is not the cost of your phone, it is the cost of your services.. So quit multiplying! :P

THANK GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!
So hard not to roll your eyes when you read all those useless computations…
always funny how they do tend to simplify things and think that what you pay in these plans are for the phones XD
iDoggy is right people! you’re paying for the data plan, the phone is just a bonus :P
though we can still argue that their data plan is still expensive/lacking hahahaha
Actually people know that. It’s just that the only reason most guys go on plans is for the phone and the actual services are just add ons. And they are computing it that way to see how much they are willing to spend for the phone.
unlimited data means no cap?
Yeah, same question with Jojo.
As per their Fair Use Policy, the Fair Use Policy allocates 1.5Gb per month of mobile browsing usage for you to enjoy Smart’s superior 3G/HSPA network. If this is the case, in reality it is not really unlimited.
source: http://www1.smart.com.ph/help/postpaid/article/2012/03/08/postpaid-mobile-internet-fair-use-policy
I don’t know, however, if the site is up to date.
yea, I only read the “fair use” policy when I was looking at the S3 pre-order page for Smart.
What I want to know is how fast would our connection be if we exceed the 1.5Gb data cap?
Yes, there’s a 1.5 cap for they so called unlimited data plan… Smart unli data plan subscriber ako and ang daming spot or places na ang bagal ng internet, nabibilang ko lang kung Ilang place ung mabilis ang internet ko. Dito sa university belt super bagal… According to smart personnel when you reached 1.5 gb of internet usage. The speed of your internet will go down to 412 kbps.
Great calculation & the best explanation too i’d say. If you live & breathe needing that constant on the web connection, these plans are for you.
I’m actually on the plan myself utilising the galaxy note with which i use more as a tablet companion rather than a phone. (Just my two cents but the world’s smallest smart phone, the HP Veer is still the best :-D)
My experience with Plan 2k’s bandwidth cap is not so bad. I’m constantly on Waze when i drive, use this for corp vpn (globe blocked corp vpn this year & it’s been a b&tch getting them to open it up) i use 300mb per session for vpn and have had about more than 3 this month. Also downloaded a couple of tv shows. Still no cap slowdown.
I do get slowdowns on some areas or from phone idle state sometimes but not enough to bother me.
Cheerio!

Awwww, what happened to may Telco? ang mahal namen! 2500 over 2000? whaaat da! Congrats Smart!
Sa mga nagkakaproblema sa plan go with plan
Globe Plan 1799
1799 + 200 ng globe you pay 1999 for 24 months
1999*24 = 48000 pesos
Smart Plan 2000
2000*30 = 60000 pesos
Btw you still get the phone for free sa plan 1799 ng globe you just have to add 200 in your monthly bill or cash out nyo ng 4800. You get unlimited surfing and 800 peso consumable
Guys i just want to asked if ever may idea kayo sa minimum income requirement sa globe super plan 1799. Wala po kasi ako credit card. Im planning po kasi na magapply. Thank you po sa magrereply.
Guys, I already inquire about the S3 from the 2 big companies, when it comes to globe, the plan is good for 24 months contract you will be able to get freebies+800 consumables+unli data plan w/c is superb, imagine, you will be able to download paid apps on the store and it will just be deducted to the consumable, but the con is it will not go over to your next bill you should consume it for the entire month, and for the question of antonyow, you should have atleast 18,000 income plus 2 years working on your company (for BPO employees) and atleast 1 year for other job description. w/ smart any job is ok, but still depends on your salary, should be around 20,000.
I’d rather buy it from the gray market. hehehe. its unlock and i dont have to have those stupid req. hehehe.
If you say the phone is free it means you dont have to pay anything. any cash out or any plus 200 on your bill and if you opted to break your contract you dont have to pay for the handset rather you will only pay for the months remaining on the contract. Telcos here in the Phil are so greedy not like in the other countries.
@ Bryan: Yun din actually pinagtataka ko. Planned to get the S3 from Smart. Di bale nang mas mahal na kaunti yung plan basta lang ba sure yung speed ng data ko.
Yun nga lang sinisingil ako extra Php2500 for 24 months contract. Free daw kapag 30 months. Over naman na ata yun.

great author.I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back very soon.

My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be what precisely I’m
looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content
available for you? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!
My partner and I stumbled over here different web address and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you.

Everyone loves what you guys are up too. Such clever work and exposure!
Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve included you guys to blogroll.
Hello I am so delighted I found your webpage, I really found you by accident, while I was looking on Yahoo for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a incredible post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the awesome job.
Appreciating the time and energy you put into your website and in depth information you offer. It’s great to come across a blog every once in
a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed material. Fantastic read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Hi! I’ve been following your website for a long time now and
finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Dallas Tx!
Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!
I’m really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any tips to help fix this problem?
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you happen to
be using? I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my latest site and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just
sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still
new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for beginner blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would definitely benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Many thanks!
Hey there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a reasonable price? Kudos, I appreciate it!
Wonderful website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Many thanks!
Hey there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell
you I genuinely enjoy reading through your blog posts.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the
same topics? Thanks!
Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger,
and I was wondering your situation; we have developed some nice methods and we are looking to trade methods with other folks,
why not shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site. You have some really great posts and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write
some content for your blog in exchange for a link back
to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.
Thank you!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
Nevertheless think of if you added some great images or video clips to give
your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its
niche. Great blog!
Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my
blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Many thanks
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near
future but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem
to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to
let you know. The style and design look great though!
Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other sites?
I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some
stories/information. I know my visitors would
enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested,
feel free to send me an e mail.
Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to
look it over. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this
to my followers! Exceptional blog and excellent design and style.
Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Kudos!
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but,
I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some creative ideas for
your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great
site and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my
Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
Greetings from Colorado! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I
get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI,
just 3G .. Anyways, excellent blog!
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d
ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit
from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send
me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome
blog by the way!
At this time it sounds like Movable Type is the top blogging platform out
there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Outstanding post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more
on this topic? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Many thanks!
Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog
platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!
Hello there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on. You have done a extraordinary job!
Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because
I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the
direction of a good platform.
Hey! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep
a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than
that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very
easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your
theme? Great work!
Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group?
There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Cheers
Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying
for a while but I never seem to get there!
Thanks
Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from
an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Appreciate it
Hi! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make
your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when
viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!
I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website
to come back in the future. Many thanks
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or
did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. cheers
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it
has pretty much the same layout and design.
Superb choice of colors!
Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads
up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but
I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
Howdy are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to
the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have
no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to new
updates.
Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against
hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked
hard on. Any tips?
Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share.
Appreciate it!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Hello! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the great work!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb blog!
