postpaid

As of February 2024, DITO Telecommunity offers the most affordable mobile postpaid plan with its FLEXPlan 388. It includes 25GB of 4G data, 25GB of 5G data (50GB total), unlimited calls and texts to all networks, and a 12-month Prime Video subscription, with a PHP 100 discount for the first three months and no lock-in period.

Yes. Both Globe and Smart offer postpaid plans bundled with flagship devices. For example, Globe's GPlan with Device offers the iPhone 15 series with 24-month contracts, starting from a PHP 28,000 cashout for the iPhone 15 (128GB) on GPlan 1999. Smart offers the Samsung Galaxy S24 series through its Signature and Infinity plans, with options for zero-interest installment over 12 months and perks like double storage for pre-orders.

SIM-only plans, like DITO's FLEXPlans or Smart's SIM-Only Plans+, provide a monthly allowance of data, calls, and texts without a bundled phone, often with shorter lock-in periods (e.g., 6 months for DITO). Device plans include a smartphone with the monthly subscription, typically requiring a 24-month contract, a cashout or downpayment, and sometimes higher monthly fees. Both types usually include unlimited calls and texts, but device plans are the primary way to get new phones on installment from telcos.
