Sun offers Galaxy S3 free on Sun Plan 1699

This is a huge surprise from Sun Cellular. They are now offering the Samsung Galaxy S3 free on a postpaid plan with a monthly service fee of Php1,699.

The Sun Plan 1699 includes unlimited mobile internet and unlimited Sun-to-Sun texts. Additional values include 4 hours of Sun-to-Sun calls and 250 free SMS to other networks.

The postpaid plan is only worth Php999 and the additional Php700 a month is for the amortization of the handset.

This is probably the first time that Sun has offered a flagship handset in their line-up. Normally, the plans are all under 1 thousand pesos with about Php500 as the median plan on postpaid.

There’s a 30-month lock-in period for this plan.

P.S. And that’s also the reason why they offered the Sun micro-SIM earlier.

    I’m using this plan. It’s a good deal. At first my internet speed was OK but after more than 2 weeks, my net speed has gone super slow. Used to be around 400kbps up. Now it’s only around 60 to 150kbps. I know 60-150 is already ok if you compare it to a normal subscription via prepaid but for a postpaid 1699 plan? VERY disappointed. Well I just hope it gets better.

    This is one of the best and awesomest deal ever! So tempting! I am also a Sun subscriber and yes the mobile internet connection is not so so but I am able to deal with it and I don’t mind as long as I am conected. Hehehe! Get it guys! As for me, I will probably wait for my loyalty phone with Sun in a couple of months.. upgrade my plan and get this! :)

      I’m afraid it’s not available for loyalty/retention. I already inquired and they told me that I could just get another line for the S3 and have my current line cut upon expiration of the contract.

      I still hope that they’ll change their mind when that day comes though. I still have 3 mos pa naman. Hehe.

      Kindly point out the error and we will re-evaluate it and rectify it when warranted. Thanks.

    Samsung Galaxy S III I9300
    Blue
    and
    white

    Cash Price
    PHP 30,500/30 months = PHP 1016.67 @ 0% interest, which is very optimistic.

    PHP 1016.67 + Sun Plan 999 = PHP 2,015.67 per month for 30 months.

    PHP 2,015.67 – Sun Plan 1699 = 316.67*30 = PHP 9,500.00 total savings from subsidy.

    Sun subsidy for the phone is PHP 9,500.00 and that is with the optimistic 0% interest for 30 months, which is unrealistic.

    If you get this phone through credit card, the price would be atrocious and the interest would go through the roof, specially for 30 months.

    This is the best way to go to get this phone. Or any other phone, just by subscribing to this plan and selling the phone you got from this plan. Or if you have an old Android phone, this plan could pay for itself, just use the new SIM and sell off the new phone. :-)

    Don’t like the phone? Get the phone with this plan and sell it. Buy another phone from the sale of your Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. Don’t like Sun? Don’t subscribe.

    Got mine as a gift so no need to ponder on which telco offers the best deal. Would still recommend getting the gadget via trade in (I’m sure most of you have old phones to replace) then get an unlimited plan from a network that offers a reliable data coverage on your area.
