Smart has announced last week that they will be changing their default data charging rate from Php5 for 15 minutes to Php2 for every 1MB. This is effective November 28, 2017. The new Php2/MB rate now removes the default time-based charging for all Smart Postpaid accounts.
We are enhancing our pay-per-use data billing model of Php 5 for every 15 minutes of data consumed to Php 2 for every 1MB consumed. With this enhancement, we will be able to better serve you and your data needs. Please read below to know the new benefits, features, and change in postpaid experience — Effective November 28, 2017
All existing Smart postpaid comes with an Add-on Data Plan. If the data allocation for the plan has been completely depleted, subscribers may choose to (1) subscribe to another data add-on plan OR (2) enroll to the Php2/MB default data rate by texting DATA ON to 9999.
You get notifications when your Php2/MB usage reaches Php500, Php1,000 and Php2,000 amount. The additional charges stop at Php2,500 so you won’t pay for data more than this amount. Technically, you will get unlimited data at Php2,500. However, your speed will be throttled to just 128Kbps until the end of the billing cycle.

i can not take smart’s word that it will be better. it will be more expensive. Just imagine how many mb does a web site has? if it’s 5mb then everytime you load that site, 10 will be charged everytime. kalokohan sinasabi nilang better service because you will pay more.

Prepaid vs postpaid pricing. Apples to oranges. Mas better comparison is Smart 1gb open access + 300mb youtube for 50php for 3 days. That’s 2GB open access plus 600mb for YouTube for 100php vs 2gb nyo for 90 for 7 days.
So good job sa comparison mo.

Damn! I’m a heavy data user. And my bill is pegged at ~P2,500/month. it is very seldom that I encounter slowdowns. I consume over 1.25GB/day. With this new data charging, I can only enjoy LTE speeds for 1 day (1.24GB = P2,500) and the rest of days (29-30 days) of my billing cycle, my speed will be throttled to 128kbps (unless I register to other data packages)?! Tama ba pagka-intindi ko? Damn!

is not this an overpriced allocation in Postpaid subscribers? if a postpaid subscriber consumed 600MB on top of his plan399 with 3GB allocation. He will pay Php1200 more?
centsPer MB says:
35 to 45 cents per MB sounds fair for postpaid subscribers.
binoy says:
Sige pa SMART, itaboy nyo ng itaboy lahat ng subscribers nyo sa kabila. Wala na bang maisip yung mga jurassic sa kumpanya nyong gawin kundi kumita agad pero in the long run ay maubos yung mga subscribers nyo dahil sa pagkagahaman nyong kumita ng malaki ngayon. Sayang ang ginagawa nyong expansion ng network nyo kung wala ng gagamit nito dahil lumipat na sa kabila ang mga subscribers nyo.
