Smart to release iPhone 4S on December 16

Smart has just announced that they wil release the iPhone 4S in the Philippines on December 16, 2011 and starts accepting “registration of interests” for the device today.

Again, all we have right now from Smart is the date and the email alert form here. No pricing plan or prepaid kit prices were revealed.

Globe and Smart have it, they only differ in service.

Do you have any clue how much it’s going to cost if they only sell the unit? Thanks!

Knowing Smart? I’m sure, nakakastress kung papareserve ka ng iPhone 4s.. Para lang nung nagpareserve ako sa Galaxy Note. Bastos mga taga Megamall wireless center nila. Parang hindi ako client kung kausapin.

I will never get another smart line ever. Nakuha ko na pinareserve ko na N9 pero iwaited 4 hours na makuha ang fone after submitting the requirements. I should have backed out. Iisa lang ang naka assigned sa sales. Lousy.

can someone enlighten me i chose the unli data plan 2000 but smart made me signed that push mail is charged addtl P10 every 30 mins. So currently all my push notifications are deactivated. Mahirap na.

ganun din ba sa globe?

I am a Globe Postpaid Subscriber and Globe Customer Service is far better than Smart. Why? My wi-fi at home is Smart. Yes, connection is 95% fast but the Customer Service Rep in both phones and Retail Stores has poor customer service skills.

In the end, both Smart and Globe postpaid suck.

ask ko lang regarding sa data unlimited ng smart(2k/mos. and above) may additional charge ba yun tethering, push mail, watch youtube,fb,twitter and other networking sites at opera mini browser? 1.5gb cap/mos.? ang sinabi lang kc sken wag gumamit ng ibang browser yun lang. yun iba nabasa ko lng sa mga forum ng mga hidden charges ng smart regarding sa data unlimited. Please confirm sa matagal na nakaunlidata plan ng smart thank you. Ayaw ko kc magulat ako sa bill ko. First time ko lng kc magapply sa smart. knowing this limitation hindi na sana ako nagapply =( Paki-confirm po Thank you.

Oh, so both Globe and Smart have rights to the iPhone na pala. Hopefully, prices will be more competitive this time.

SMART SUCKS BIG TIME with their customer service! They dont know how to handle existing accounts, they don’t even care if you’re interested with their service. just spend your money somewhere else!

Globe Â called me Â today offering the iphone 4s Â and telling me i am qualified (does this mean Â approved) for the retention program Â and that i can get the iphone 4s Â The 16gb white model. Â Its at 25100 cash out plus p999/mo unlimited surfing. They invited me to the launch on dec16 i can get it na daw that day. Â Sabi nya lang i need to pay my unpaid dues before the 16th eh may pending rebate pa ako na nasa 3k from them. He will call me again tomorrow Â to confirm kasi hindi ko sya sinagot kung iaavail ko yung retention. Â

Then today a few hours after, smart called me inviting me to the iphone 4s launch party on dec 15. Â Yes its thursday the party is at dec 15 Â 10pm-4am. The rep has no idea on pricing but said if i prefer to pay in credit card i can get the unit Â on the event itself. If cash then i can get it in any smart wireless center but date is unknown.Â

Question is, which one should i get?Â
