Smart 3G: from Php10/30mins to Php1/min

they used to have a per minute charging before right? but it would still total to 10 pesos per 30 minutes.

ba’t ang mahal na ngayon? :\

that Php 1.00 / minute is definitely NOT for surfing.. checking mails only. XD

This still sucks either way. It should be handy if you only go online for status updates, aGPS fixes etc. But then, you still have to go through other hoops just to get back to normal rates.

I would still prefer having an unlimited data plan so I don’t have to worry of spending too much. However, an additional 999 on top of my monthly bill it still too steep for me. :|

I have a hack for smart globe and sun. . .no need to spend money. . .I’m using a zero load sim Globe right now. But in smart you should have atleast 1php to have a GPRS signal :)

I think the default is P10/30min and when you have less than P10 load, you can still connect with P1/min.

I wish switching which to use is easy. Sana nasa Smart menu or something.

Very cost efficient for short bursts of tweets and fsq check-ins nga.

Yep good for me @lolipown, but maybe surely bad for you. Sorry.haha

I wish they offer such for phones and in a per gigabyte rate as it is much much practical for social network and POP3 email

@NemOry
nah, I’m just amused that there’s still people like you who brag about an act that basically amounts to theft, in this case theft of services.

Arr matey!

Smart had a Php 0.33/minute browsing before, does this new Php1/min means discontinued na yung lumang per minute rates? Seems like a money-focused move from Smart again, smart move on their part to make more moolah.

I agree w/ the others here who posted that Smart will suck your credits dry.

slightly off-topic:

Careful going to facebook while using this php1/min surfing, you will automatically get charged for unlifacebook20 (bye bye to your credit, happened to me even when I was already on 1day unlimited surfing. the kicker here was I only had less than 20bucks left after signing up for 1day unli, but they say its a valid transaction for unlifacebook w/c costs 20 bucks – so they ate up the remaining load credits)

@lolipown, wala ako magawa wala pera pang internet so I have to discover something para d maka gasta. .also I have an UNLI MMS trick forever. .only Globe.

@Nem0ry

There are just some things you should be proud of doing. Like bragging like some kid who just stole something. UBT/FBT whatever people want to call it, and bragging it to others who pay for what they use is kind of rude.

If you don’t have the money for Internet access, go get a job, you bum.

Also, I would be careful of what I post on the Internet, especially when what you do is basically illegal while leaving traces of who you are. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day, you get sued for stealing bandwidth.

@Jon
I don’t think Nemory can hear you. His e-peen is so enlarged from all that mobile internet hours he stole.

Seriously though, that guy is a good representative of what is wrong with people: “Wala ako pera eh, magnanakaw na lang ako.”

@Nem0ry

Just because you are poor, does not give you a license to do something illegal.

Anyway, I am not perfect myself, and have done a lot of things I am not proud of. The best thing that would be good for you would be not to brag about it online. Especially when someone with a brain could easily know who and where you are.

@Nem0ry

All is cool. Consider that as “friendly” advice. I suggest, that once you get “rich” or at least have a steady source of income, please consider paying for your Internet access, okay?

Yep, mahal pa rin ang net access dito sa Pilipinas, kahit wired or wireless man. Tsk tsk tsk.

@NEMORY…. pwd mo naman yan e share sa mga kagaya nating mga poor.. hehe if nagagawa nga ng mga malalaking network na nakawan ang mga ultimo na users, eh tayo ba wala ba tayong karapatan na dayain din sila. Where in fact naging malaking issue in the past years ang biglang pagkawala ng loads…. kaya ang iba natutung humanap ng paraan paraan maging patas ang laban.

nemory.. hehehe.. paturo naman pano.. pm me nalang. tnx..

;-)

Smart really knows how to play well… nasa oras…

@Gumz…..

smart is really smart. isang paraan para kumita sila ng malaki.

Talagang pag maging mayaman ako xempre mag pepay na talaga ako, d naman lahat magagawa sa trix q e. Gumagamit lg ako ng prinogram na opera. .ung minodified ung mga server and IP’s. .sa mga gusto please sa fb q nlg pm nyu lang ako. .
: )

@realJARLEY, may point ka din. .nung una nadadaya din ako ng mga networks, akalain mung bagong bili na sim pag insert at niloadan, ayun may mga text na mga ringt0nes at my nareceive dn na t0nes kaya aun kain l0ad. .dmi pa nangyari pati sa net. .sa mobile websites nla. .

People here are correct. We are not rich but we work hard for the money we’re spending. You’re just like the thieves I see on TV who usually use the dialog, “wala lang po ako choice kasi mahirap lang kami kaya nagsnatch na lang ako”

We are not stopping you from doing what you’re doing but broadcasting it online is really dangerous. Some people know how to trace identities you know…

@Just Reading, para ngang thief, d q naman alam pwede ako ma preso. .pero totoo bang pwede yun mangyari??at pano nga ba naman??tagal q na kasi gamit e. .chaka d naman lahat ma aacess mu , .
Galing mu na google mu name q ata. ,hehe? .

@Nem0roy

Duh, it’s on your Twitter account, which you linked here on this blog. Hence I gave you advice to shut up about your cheating/stealing.

Seriously? Parang jumper lang yan sa Meralco. You make use of techniques/devices to gain access/use something that other people are paying for.

From a technical standpoint, it would be very easy for Globe to trace you, down to where you are right now via BTS triangulation.

DAPAT 1PESO FOR 5 MINUTES PARA PATAS LANG!!!!!

BUT THE PROBLEM NANGANGAIN NG LOAD ANG SMART..!!!

buti na lang may facebook zero sa sun….

nemory and smart???.. hmmm… totoo talaga kasabihan ang magnanakaw galit sa kapwa magnanakaw…

i cant blame you dahil mga telco dito mga gahaman kaya nagpapakagahaman ka rin….

hoy manny pangilinan.. dami mo ginagastusan (azkal football team, meralco basketball team, talk and text basketball team) baka gusto mo magbawas..!!!!

I just said, it was possible. Do you really want to wait for that time pag nagkaroon ng crackdown sa mga taong nagnanakaw ng bandwidth?

Of course it is a bug. But that does not justify your action of stealing. Kung sira yung pinto ng bahay nyo, at di nyo alam. May magnanakaw na nalaman sira pala yung pinto nyo. Ok lang ba nakawin nya mga gamit nyo, kasi may “bug” dun sa pinto nyo?

Think.

I work for Smart.

The 1 pesos per minute charge is for Bro and Buddy users who have less than 10 pesos on their accounts but still want to access the net.

Per minute charging was always available on PRepaid Smartbro plug it.

I’ll link to the relevant sites on smart.com.ph once i find them

@Kenneth

The one peso per minute charge is for people with load balances below 10 pesos.

By default 10 pesos/30 minutes pa din ang surfing namin for prepaid.

If you are on unlimited surfing you don’t need the separate unlimited facebook.

Unlimited facebook (20pesos/day) is there if you only do facebook updates. If you register for unli Facebook then get unli surf then that’s the time you get charged twice.

Hope this clears it up.

@Kenneth

Understandable dude…I was a smartbro user way before i worked for smart (SmartWifi pa) and I understand the frustrations of the common subscriber.

You may have clicked on the links that connect to the unli service (unli.facebook.com) instead of the normal facebook link (m.facebook.com). When you click on one of the unli links it charges you the 20pesos unlimited (its possible to charge you 20 even when you 9 pesos, the system will take the missing 11 upon next loading). You get charged even when you are already registered for unli surf (i apologize for this but this is how the current system is set-up)

We are trying to upgrade and fix our systems to give subscribers like you a better experience.

Hope this answers your upsetting situation.
