Smart Freedom Plan: The Zero-Balance Postpaid Plan

You can retain your prepaid number because essentially, Load Tipid Plan is just a loading service for Prepaid subs where they are sent a fixed amount of load (depends on the plan) on a set date, monthly.

With Freedom Plan, it’s Postpaid because you can use it without load (it starts from zero) and you only pay what you use. I also read a comment from another blog (from a SMART personnel) that your CL will increase if you provide them with financial docs. :)

Although I have to admit, since Load Tipid Plan is still essentially Prepaid, once you’re out of load, you can just reload at your suking tiangge or reloading station.

With this kasi, if you’ve reached your CL, my only guess is that they’ll temporarily DC your service until you’ve paid what you owe them. Unless of course, if you made use of their “bucket services”. I think 2k texts to all networks for one month would be quite difficult to deplete (for regular users that is).

(Sorry sa tl;dr post. I’m on the fence kasi on getting one and I’m really trying to weigh the pros and cons).

you can get BB services too, just check http://www1.smart.com.ph/postpaid/plans/freedom-plans for the offerings

good question, but sorry i don’t know the answer… =)

btw, when i looked at the yugatech post about the BBM services, i realized that they’re offering 1 month unli surfing with the BB UNLI DATA plan priced at 599, that’s waaay cheaper than the usual 1 month unlimited internet that we get from anywhere (assuming that they also provide speeds of up to 7.2 mbps in this plan). I’m currently paying 1k for their unlimited surfing in the freedom plan and i get speeds up to 4.6 mbps, if indeed they’re offering a 599 unlimited surfing, that would be unfair to their other clients that are not BB users, hmm.. i think i need to clear this up with a smart rep soon…

sir abe, can you shed some light into this? hehe..

I’ve read from somewhere (I think the BB thread in TipidCP) that tethering is not allowed with Smart’s BB Plan 599.

Although I am still wondering as to why surfing is cheaper on a BlackBerry. Prolly have something to do with how it handles data? Hmm…

bakit ang daming ganito?

Yup! I think that this is one of the best things about this plan. You can be tipid or pwede ka di mag-buckets or avail ng registration and services but with the assurance that you will never run out of “load” in case there’s an emergency and you need to call or sms someone.

Good second plan as well esp dun sa mga irita na sa serbisyo ng Globe and who are contemplating on getting a Smart acct. Hehehe! Been a Smart user for more than 5 years now and data is really gud.
