Independence Day is just around the corner and Smart is proposing that you celebrate it by signing up to their customizable Freedom Plan. We assume that that’s not how you plan to spend your holiday, but they have some pretty interesting offers that are sure to make you reconsider.

freedom to follow

Ok, first things first, the “Follow your Freedom” campaign is only valid on June 12 and will only be implemented in malls listed below:

• Robinsons Galleria
• Araneta Gateway
• SM City Baguio
• SM City Pampanga
• SM City Dasmarinas
• SM Cebu
• Davao Gaisano

Note: Here’s our detailed explanation of the Smart Freedom Plan.

Now that’s out of the way, let’s get to the meaty part where you can get tablets/handsets at a lower price when you enlist for Freedom Plan.

Something to note though, not all devices seen above is available on all locations where the campaign will be run. To see which gizmos which are up for grabs in the mall near you, as well as the other discounted devices, it’s best if you check out the table we’ve prepared below:

handset sale

In addition to the handset sale, Smart is also giving away small tokens if you register to a Flexibundle along with your Freedom plan. This includes gift certificates to Starbucks, movie tickets and MRT tickets. We’re not sure if you get the full suite or you just get to choose one, but it’ll be great if you get all of it. For more info about Smart’s Follow your Freedom campaign you can check out the source link below.

Kung masyadong maganda ang deal (64 GB 1phone4S=PHP11K), kadalasan ay hindi totoo. That was too good to be true! Oldest marketing trick is to put very limited quantity, sometimes none, in Promo.sale, then declare same item as “sold out”, or “out of stock”. This is done to lure people in the store, with the hope that this people will buy something else.

fake!this is a scam!fake ads just to draw people!grrrrrr!!!

Just want to share what I experienced yesterday at SM Southmall and Festivalmall, I went there very early to avail of the Freedom plan promo for iphone 4S but unfortunately there no stocks at all for both Smart branches. They just got my name and contact details. Hopefully they will call me since the staff from both Smart branches said they will inform me if units are available very soon. Just went hope empty handed =(.

Paolo · 13 years ago

isa pang misinformation, is that sa list meron Samsung Galay S2 sa gateway, pero pag dating ko dun, wala naman daw silang stocks ng Galaxy S2. And after lunch time wala na silang unit ubos na.

SMARTbatalaga · 13 years ago

SMART ba talaga?? Not really, if you just saw the mess that happened earlier in gateway. What a big MESS! No order, the manager there did not expect such a thing?? Oh come on. No Lines?? Oh come on. The Manager should know how to manage a crowd of people who are all after the iphone 4s or the s2. There should at least be an early notification of how many units will be release and available. There was like a long long line, and a lot of people were dissapointed and left. Do you know why they did hold the people and not tell us earlier? They need all the people for their picture taking. haha so funny.

vince · 13 years ago

all the ff are excusable specially since we were warned. if you didnt notice the warning in the post above, its your fault
* not all branches have the promo. yugatech listed the branches that are included
* some models of phones are only available in some branches. again meron list posted
* limited stocks, pag naubos wala na. that is not illegal – as long as smart informs us in advance. did they?

the ff are not excusable
* meron pala reserve reserve. dapat first come first serve

redz · 13 years ago

No wonder Pala Sale kc walang unit kung meron ind 10-9 ang iphone 4s

Smarties · 13 years ago

Same here same experience from smart baguio….
SMART SUCKSS,,,,,!,!!!!

biboy · 13 years ago

A friend of mine was at Galleria this morning. Same experience as the above post. A lot of people were angry kasi kahit maaga sa pila, wala ding stocks. Grabe. Diba dapat nirereport ito sa DTI? Sales and promos like this are regulated diba?

– With my family in tow at around 9:30 we arrive at Rob Galleria basement 1 parking.
– At exactly 10am people started running I was forced to run as well.
– Running with my slippers on moving escalators was difficult as hell.
– It took 5 escalators to reach Level 4.
– At this almost all people were running for their lives.
– A guard who was not aware of the situation panicked an started to blow his whistle.
– I managed to comtinously run non- stop just to reach the booth.
– To my dismay there were already 50 people in the booth.
– I quickly secured an application form and started operation singit.
– After 3 minutes the smart people announced that the 4s was not anymore available.
– Pissed I continued to observe the scene:
People were mad and shouting at the staff especially the 4th person on the line.
At the back of the booth I can see othe staff from smart openning boxes of iphone 4s as if checking the unit.
– Unless you had access inside you did’nt have a chance of getting the 4s when the doors openned.
– I believe there were only 10 units or less available iphone 4s that time.
– I spent gas, parking, coffee just for nothing. Thanks Smart!

i wasted so much time going to smart wireless center cagayan de oro! they said they’re not included kamo sa promo! kakainis i even told them how come na di kasali kayo eh andito ata kayo sa listing since all venues nakasaad for iphone4s promo! malaking kalokohan!

earlybird · 13 years ago

I was #6 kanina sa SM Cebu. Wala na daw stock kac few days ago marami na daw nag pareserve. Then confirm pa daw nila ang warehouse if my incoming stock.

KAGAGUHAN NG SMART · 13 years ago

SOBRANG MAGULO, WALANG SISTEMA. MGA MANLOLOKO LANG. PAASA. SA ARANETA GATEWAY WALA NA DAW UNITS! WALA PA NAMAN NARELEASE. PAN 10 LANG AKO SA PILA,,, WALA NA UNIT! BOOOOO SMART COMM.

malakingkalokohan · 13 years ago

telcos.hay .10am nag open mall. 1020 out of stock na iphone 4s. Ito ay kahit na wala pa kahit isang unit ang narerelease. I do hope that promos like this are monitored. Ginagawang joke ng smart ang oras at pagod ng mga taong dumayo dito. And sana sites like yugatech wont just publish such ads kahit na bayad sila. Lumalabas kasi ginagamit din ang site sa panloloko ng mga telcos.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 13 years ago

Sorry but we only took the story from their official website. We don’t have an idea that they would limit it.

malakingkalokohan · 13 years ago

Sorry for kind of putting the blame on the site sir yuga, just that, on my end, it is not even on limited stocks. There are actually no stock at all. So syempre very devastating lang but again not exactly your fault. At gateway, we were even questioning the manager and asking her to release a list of name who were able to get the iphone. And she said, well, nothing.

Reader · 13 years ago

If you don’t send a text message, call someone, or use data services in Smart’s Freedom Plan, you pay Php 0. Yes, that’s ZERO.

cris · 13 years ago

salamat s quick response. so pwede pla n wala akong byaran kung ndi ako gaganit ng services. plan ko po kc is to use this as a back up phone.

CRS · 13 years ago

RJCA · 13 years ago

So there’s no lock in period? Basically a 10,900 iPhone 4s then! 64Gb pa!

Anonymous · 13 years ago

Can we pay the handset price thru CC? Or must it be paid in straight cash?

vince · 13 years ago

what if i just get one of those (pay cash in full for the phone) then keep the sim card that came with it in my drawer. i’ll use my old prepaid smart buddy card

Jimer Santos · 13 years ago

curiousmind · 13 years ago

Hi. Puede po magtnong? Pano po ba yang freedom plan? my contract po ba? Gusto ko po sna bilhin ung Galaxy tab 7.0, as in 5,600 lng po tlga? Im a student po sensya na.

confuseduser · 13 years ago

I don’t get it. Haha. How much do i have to pay per month on top of the 10, 900 for example when i get the iPhone 4S?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 13 years ago

It’s Plan Zero. You pay for the service you consume.

Tony · 13 years ago

awdog · 13 years ago

Happy Independence DAY to all. Always proud to be Filipino!!

Kermit · 13 years ago

Sabi ng friend ko na my position sa smart wireless center gateway, 20 units lang daw ng iPhone 4S meron sila. Pati sa Smart Robinsons galleria 20-30 units lang. Susme! Nagpa promo pa
