Surprisingly, very few people are using PLDT WeRoam -- a service which has practically been supplanted by SmartBro Mobile 3G. 3G usage is split between Smart/PLDT and Globe Telecom two-to-one as shown in the table below. uMobile on the other hand, though an autonomous telco is still considered a Smart/PLDT property and their free ad-supported 3G services will certainly bump up their total numbers. Not sure about the timing but it seems that PLDT slashed a few hundred pesos off their WeRoam prepaid and post-paid subscription fees around the time Globe Innove commercially launched its competing product, Globe Visibility. While scouting first-hand user feedback for PLDT's WeRoam service to convince myself to subscribe, I found Paul's story about his experience in Davao.
