You have to give it to Sun Cellular for shaking things up and making the “unlimited” offering very cheap and popular among the masses. I guess they’re partly to credit why the Philippines is still the texting capital of the world.
And they continue to challenge the competition and offer cheaper deals like this Call & Text 25 (CTU25):
Granted, the unlimited call and text are only applicable to Sun to Sun connections but their network now has over 12 million subscribers (from 1 to 2 million a few years back) so at least we know either more people are switching to Sun or making it their second line.
The CTU25 charges a one-time fee of Php25.00 to make unlimited calls and texts within the Sun Cellular network (just text CTU25 to 247). If you subscribe 3 days in a row, they’ll give you the 4th day free. So if you subscribe 23 days in a month, you get the whole month on CTU25. Total spend for 30 days is about Php562.50.
I’m not really on Sun prepaid but anybody out there using Sun can let us know how this works out.
Diba dati pang 25 pesos for 1 day call and text unlimited ang sun? :o
hannah vs sun users, magisa ka lang hindi ka parin satisfied sa sun?
magload k na lang para masubukan mo kung gaano kaganda ung sun cellular….
@ hanna
maload k na lang para masubukan mo kung gaano kaganda ung sun cellular….
@konote
magagamit pa naman ang sim basta magload ako ng panibago. ang sa akin naman is binili ko sya feb 12 pero nilagay/install/insert ko ang sim sa cellphone after a few days pa. di ba dapat maaactivate lang ang sim on the day na nilagay/install/insert sa cellphone?
lesson learned na lang on my part not to be too trusting siguro. dapat tinest ko kaagad baka na-prove ko pa na me gumamit na pala ng sim tapos binenta ulit.
Hi Hanna.
Zero balance talaga yan KUNG nong nagBAL INQuiry k u nong biNili mo yan. kaso da following week pa na 24 hours lang ang load.
Yan SIM na yan kapag hindi pa na gamit yan at binili mo ya on the day before April Fool’s Day 2011., Naku talagang hindi na magamit yan. Pero kapag ginamit mo yan bago mag March 31 2011. Magagamit mo pa yan.
kaya nga ako kumuha ng sun kasi interested ako and i wanted to test the call quality by calling my friends with sun numbers. inaaway nyo ko ha :-P
eto links below, iniscan ko ang front and back of the packaging para maniwala na kayo.

o ayan, kitang-kita on the front “libreng load: unlimited sun-to-sun texts 10 minutes of sun-to-sun calls 5 texts to other networks all valid for 1 day”
at the back “IF UNUSED, THIS SIM WILL EXPIRE BY: MARCH 31,2011”
me right din naman ako na sumama ang loob no.
peace.
Sun prepaid user ako since 2004. Malaking tipid kapag ang family at friends ay sun subscribers. Lahat kami dito sa bahay naka-sun, globe for secondary kapag nagkaproblema ang signal ng sun.
Sun should improve the mobile internet service. May times na mabilis ang connection but most of the time…ang bagal talaga!
I’m on Sun’s plan 350 CTU Unlimited.. everything’s great,,huge savings on calls(sun tio sun) plus, there’s 250 consumable free texts to other networks monthly.
I used to be on prepaid but I realized that I’d save more on sun postpaid. ;]
@hannah: if you are referring to the WinnerTxt10 SIM card, talagang 0.00 balance yun, even the 29 Super Budget SIM. kasi Sun promos/service do not reflect on their balance inquiry number 221. Regular load and Free text lang ang lalabas dun, then after a minute or two you should receive an SMS regarding the subscribed promos/service mo.
@all: I’ve been a prepaid user since it launched. I still use the same number and I was thrilled when they first offered the unli service. Very dramatic ang change/transformation ng SUN, and it’s for the better. Dati, i used to load CTU when its still 250, then 350. Then I switched to TU (Text Unli) when it came with 4 hours free call (Sun-to-Sun).
Now, I have 1892 minutes of Sun to Sun calls.
Sa bahay naka postpaid plan na 999 for 3 phones with CTU enrolled. Super tipid! If Sun will grow and will have a nationwide coverage, olats na ang GLobe and Smart.
Plus, they already tested and modified their network to handle many subscribers calling and texting over a 5 year period. Unlike Globe and Smart pag naka-unli ka sa weekend, ang hirap tumawag!
@ kinny
pag nag load k ng 150 regular load at convert mo s TU150 meron k pang 25 txt to onther network. mas ok db? kaysa sa magload k ng TU150 agad wala kang free txt.
I’m using SUN since its birth. Nung una npakahirap at panget ng service perolaki ng improvement. Sulit pa rin kung my contacts is also SUN subscriber.
I’m using Text unlimited (150 for 1 month). Unlimited texting with FREE 4 hrs Calls. Sulit rin text to other network at 0.50/text using Budgetxt (BGT20 = 40text to other network or BGT5 10 txt to other network)
Thanks. BTW I also have GLOBE and SMART #s.
Their Text Unlimited 150 is one I really love. It cuts my Globe bill down to half because my helpers, hubby and some businesses i call all have sun.
Everytime I receive my monthly billing from Sun Cellular, it tells how much I have saved. on the average, it’s more than P3,000 per month savings due to unlimited sun-to-sun calls and texts. thank you Sun Cellular for making my business grow! =)
sana magkaroon din ng ganito yung globe :D..
My family has been sun subscribers for almost 3 years now. One of their barkada plans which offer 666/month. Daylight CTU and reduced rates during peak times. @ only 222/ person within the family, it’s really cost efficient.
I actually have a love-hate relationship with Sun but I have been their subscriber for 4 years now.
sun service? 5-stars for its value.
whether as sole sim/phone or as 2nd phone – its a win-win!
their service has improved dramatically compared to previous years.
its so cheap that it feels they are (almost)giving it away for free.
*i usually use sulit30, 60mins sun to sun calls for seven(7) days, 30pesos only.
*but if i need to make a long call(s), i use call & txt unlimited for 24 hours, 25pesos only.
note: if u still have sulit30 and enrolled on CTU, when making a call, your sulit30 will be consumed first before CTU or unli call takes effect)
*** very good value> DAYLITE call + unli txt for seven(7) days, 12mn-6pm UNLIMITED CALL, P0.25/in Sun-to-Sun calls from 6pm to 11:59pm, + 30p bonus load = for 100 pesos only.
saan ka pa?
Good for call/text users but we should really be moving to mobile Internet…
