PLDT buys majority stake of Sun Cellular

bad news to all sun subscriber.. unting unti mawawala lahat ng promo nila.. mamahal na naman ang text at call.. hays :) monopoly… anti competition.. grrrr.

thats the big question.. yan nga ayaw nila noon.. nagka demandahan pa nga dyan diba.. :) well antayin na lang naten ang susunod na kabanata

I don’t like it but you have to admit it was a brilliant move by Smart. If you can’t beat them, buy them out.

I am a Smart prepaid user but I value Sun’s promotions as they force Smart and Globe to offer similar promos.

ciao!

Less players in the wireless comm industry means more burden for the consumers. Yun naman talaga ang gusto ni pangilinan i monopolize ang negosyo ng telecommunications.

They mentioned that Sun Cellular will become a separate entity, so this could mean a wider network for Sun Cellular which I hope, while retaining the unlimited plans.

I just hope that it will help boost Sun’s network coverage. Like what everyone said, it will be good for us consumers… yun nga lang, wag sana maging sakit sa ulo…

IMO, it’s bad for the consumers. Sun is like the equalizer. Smart and Globe has poor service in a lot of areas. Sun is always an alternative. Were will healthy competition go now?

@razorous.
need mo magbayad ng licensing fee sa apple para maioffer ang iphone. sabi ng yuga ang tsismis daw e 6B pesos para maioffer ang iphone dito. nakaya lang to ng globe since kapartner nila yun singtel ng singapore.

anyway back to topic sa tingin ko mali ang mga title ng headlines about pldt at digitel. kasi nga wala naman cash na involve dito kundi share-swapping ang magaganap. parang nagpa absorb lang ata sila.

At least you can expect a fair scrutiny from American government for a possible unti-competitive nature of the deal (AT&T who is buying T-mobile). But for Smart (PLDT) buying the Digitel (Sun cellular) pfffft no Philippine agency can stop that. Pay back time for large corporations who are bank rolling the elections! Consumers are in the losing end….:(

Hmmm Tama nga yung na-foresee ng Sun dati nung nag start sila mag-operate…darating ang araw na mag u-unlimited na din ang Globe and Smart…pero sana hinde na lang sila nagpa-absorbed sa Smart.

But then again, I will be Globe user til the end…hehehehe 10 years in Globe prepaid…heheheehe happy pa din.

meron kumita = digitel
meron kikita = pldt
meron malulugi = pldt subscriber or digitel subscriber?

mvp has been buying his competitors but pldt service still sucks big time.

any digitel shareholders here? i heard their stock values did not appreciate from the buy out of digitel.

sa umpisa palitan ng stocks, susunod nyan merger na. NTC should monitor these 2 companies movements in the future.

Naninawala ba kayo na hindi kaya tapatan ng Smart ang mga offers ng Sun… greedy lang talaga yan si MVP! Halos lahat ng kumpanya binibili.

Pasalamat tayo sa Sun, dahil sa kanila na tigil ang pataasan ng presyo ng Globe and Smart!

I hope MVP will also buy abs cbn.

In a statement MVP assured that the unli services of sun will be retained. It should benefit SUN kasi it is now backed by SMART’s infra.

May paparating naman ata na telco from SMC, so let’s wait and see. :D

Now what? Di paba sila nabubusog sa pagka “GIANT”? Come on! Since PLDT is the majority holder, they now have the financial control and influence over SUN and I’m not liking it.

it shows how smart MVP really is! haha GO SMART 55 millions subscriber? hahahahahhahaha grabe ang adik ng PLDT LOL! proud to be witht the LARGEST! hahaha

there’s a flying news that globe will be tied up with international carriers soon be here in Philippines.. that would beat up smart and sun…

give it a few years and then SUN will set permanently only smart and globe will remain.
habang mainit pa ang balita kukumbinsihin tayo na sun will remain as is.
but in the coming years, unti unti na mawawala ang sun cellular, until it will just be a memory that once there was neutralizer between globe and smart.

PLDT and Smart’s acquisition of Sunbroadband is a disaster to the sun subscribers. PLEASE BAN, BOYCOTT these companies. I am a sun subscriber for 3 years now and when they merged…..it was BAD WORST to NO connection. Then they said they were upgrading the system. Pfft!!! Liars!!! For months now, after they took over, they cheat me all the time in billing and connection. Headaches. Don’t be fooled by their advertisement “Fast and reliable!” pfft!!! Sun now is slow and unreliable, thanks to the bad business of PLDT and Smart. Go to hell all of you!!!! The worst thing is I have to endure them because I’m under contract. Do you think you can cheat your way all the time? Your still alive but your are already rotting in hell. Theyre the devil in the flesh. Oh please add MERALCO in the list of worst company of all time.

Do you have any video of that? I’d love to
find out some additional information.
