Before we head over to the free devices, it’s best if we check out the three postpaid offerings to see which one fits your budget and usage type.

SmartBro plans

Do note that between the stated allocated hours and Anti-Bill Shock trigger, the usual Php5USD 0.09INR 7EUR 0.08CNY 0.62/15 minutes charge still applies. However, once the ABS feature kicks in, there will be no additional charges. Instead, the corresponding Anti-Bill Shock amount will just be added to the total monthly fee. Oh, and in case that you didn’t exceed the plan’s limit, you don’t have to pay any additional fee.

With that in place, here are the different devices that will be bundled on respective plans.

For an additional Php1,500USD 26INR 2,167EUR 24CNY 186 cash-out, you can also get an iPad Mini 16GB when you sign up for the SmartBro Plan 999. Other than that, that’s pretty much it. If you’re interested to subscribe to any of these postpaid plans, you can just visit any participating Smart outlets.

  1. Hindi maganda ang Smartbro. Even with the corresponding gadget, the frustration is not worth it. Once you hit the cap, the connection is so slow, it’s close to being useless.

  2. Palagi nalang may bagong offers but it seems like they never care to improve their actual services. You can’t rely on their internet connection.. :/

  3. Maawa kayo sa sarili niyo mag DSL line nalang kayo kawawa lang kayo sa basurang service ng smartbro.

  4. I’m happy with my SmartBRO for 6 years na. Main use is to provide support sa office.
    We have a very fast internet connection sa office and PLDT is our provider, mabilis yung connection ng smartbro ko going sa office (latency <100ms) since same network lang with PLDT. I setup a proxy in the office that my SmartBRO can use for browsing. Maybe if you are in the same scenario as me you try it.

  5. Kakaend contract ko lang sa smartbro but I did not extend their services kasi bakit cover ng cap eh unlimited naman yung contract namin. Tapos bigla may extension ng 8 mos without notification sa costumers. Kaya for me hindi ako satisfied sa service nila lalo sa fup na yan.

  6. Interesting gadgets and bundles. Gulo lang ng table :p

  7. Yong additional Php1,500 cash-out for 16GB Ipad Mini? Is one time payment or 24 months po?

  8. M using smart bro unli999 on my ipad for almost two years na, hit and miss ang signal nila. But lately parang walang connection always, are they forcing me to upgrade to these new schemes nila. Now mas ok ang globe, since all my phones are globe lines,almost everywhere I go is 3g up ang signal.

  9. I hope they don’t force me to this subscription. I’m on Plan 999 and is currently enjoying unlimited service. With this new scheme, I’ll have to spend more to get unlimited WTF!

  10. this is not a good write up. we’re talking here of broadband plans and no mention of speed. amusing.

  11. As I understand it, If I avail of the iPad Mini, I will have to pay Smart 1,500 + 24 x (999 + 600) = P39,876.00 if I will be using internet for more than 80 hours a month.

  12. F*CK SMART BRO!!!!!!!

    Sorry for the language but Smart Bro really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus their customer service are total sh*t

    Save yourself some troubles avoid smart bro at all cost. Honestly just reading about smart bro brings back violent feelings in me

    Past annoyed subscriber

  13. I use Smartbro prepaid via their pocket wifisince last March 2013. I live at Santa Ana, Manila and works at Ortigas near SM MEGAMALL.
    That is the reason I chose Smartbro, because I knew from experience that since Smart has a Jump Center at SM they will have a high capacity antenna placed in there. What I do is enroll at unlisurf for 5 days or 2 days, depending on my needs. For the last 5 months it is OK. At my office, I can surf at an average of 2 Mbps, which is acceptable to me. At home, on “off peak hours” (in the dead of the night around 2-4 am, i can get about 4 Mbps on average. But that was before.

    Since this month started, I noticed slow connection at my house, even on off peak. Last week was the last straw. I am still enrolled to unlisurf but I cannot download anything! connected, yes, usable, big NO. I can only go to the smartbro landing page.

    For now, I am at wait and see, If by november I still can’t get decent connection (basic net only for social connections, news, email, no videos, no torrent), I’ll ditch this sh*t.

  14. Im happy with Globe postpaid!! even I live in San Mateo(PROVINCIAL), actually i never exp. caps, I can download 5GB in one day(but depends on time, mine is good on 3AM-10AM & 2PM-5PM) i get 4MBPS with 700kb DL rate. super happy
    basta pwesto lang ako sa 3rd floor namin, kuha ko na lahat ng signal hahahaha

  15. All data connections in our country connects to the world wide web through pldt which is the sis company of smart that makes it > than globe… =)
    Sadyaan hehehe

  16. One word to those planning to subscribe to MyBro:

    DON’T

    I’ve been a loyal subscriber for nearly a decade. And to show their gratitude they cut my internet speed to an average of 5KB/s for three weeks in each month I pay for. You’re only getting the advertised speed for at most 1 week and in the dead of the night. The rest of the time you have a connection that’s worse than dial-up simply so they can still claim to be “unlimited”.

    False advertising yan. We also have a Globe connection, and even though Globe also has a cap, it’s a DAILY cap. It’s still as slow as the uncapped SmartBro speeds, but at least I can use my internet for the entire month with Globe. Unlike in Smart.

    Dapat i-class action lawsuit na talaga yang PLDT. Kaso, they’re a monopoly at malakas ang connections sa gobyerno at sa big media. Wala tayong magagawa.

  17. I was enticed by their “Fastest Broadband” ads. In reality, their signal SUCKS!!! EVEN SLOWER THAN A SNAIL!!! MVP, FIX THIS SIGNAL PROBLEM FIRST! CHECK THE SIGNAL HERE AT TINAJEROS, MALABON CITY AND YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING!!!

  18. Just got my smart bro pocket wifi. Just activated a couple of hours ago. Mabagal ba talaga sa start?

    Thanks!

  19. Bought smart lte pocket wifi.

    availed the free 7 days unli lte.

    namfotangina, kahit mismong website ng smart hindi magload.

    fuck!

    san isidro makati area.

    fuck…

  20. I notice na wala talagang positive comment about Wireless internet service ng Smart, tapos mahirap maghanap ng point of reference sa mga new user tila naalis sa google at sobrang hirap hanapin. 2015 na at ganun pa din ang services ng Smart from 6Am-12AM ang internet speed mo ay 0.1 -20 kBps only sa madaling araw pumapalo ng ng 0.5-3mbps at hinda sya consistent kasi pa iba-iba sakit sa ulo. ang masakit pa nito ung Throttling nila naka 2GB ka ng DL+surfing walang 24 hours di na makaconnect ang Unlisurf 50 mo na supposed to be 24 hours dahil sa naboost ung DL mo nung tulog ka between 1Am-6Am i dididconnect nila ung sim mo at di ka makakaconnect.

    Sa globe naman Okay sana kaso masyadong maliit ang Data nila, kagaya sa akin, sa isang araw I used 1-1.5GB just for browsing/researching/ and some Browser games. di kasya ung 800mb per day at hindi din ganun kabilis ang speed dito sa malabon.

    So ang talagang solusyon ay wired connection pag ang minimum consumption mo ay 2GB per day, kasi kahit pano consistent ang wired connection. Masakit sa bulsa ang mga Wireless connection lalo na kung malayo ka sa mga tower ng smart at globe dahil talagang by area ang consistency ng speed nila. HIndi wais na gawing back-up connection ito kasi sa madaling araw mo lang magagamit ng matino, kasi madaming ng tulog at maskonti ang gumagamit ng wireless internet.

    Di tuloy masisi ang iba na gumamit ng wireless booster kasi dahil sa false advertising (dapat i-advertise din nila kung saan lang talaga pwede at consistent ang internet speed nila.
