Update: Smart’s per Minute Rate for Mobile 3G

So I got an email from one of the engineers (Technical Services Division) of Smart wanting to clarify/correct my previous entry regarding the Php1USD 0.02INR 1EUR 0.02CNY 0.12 per minute rates Smart is offering.

I am told that the 1 peso per minute rate is an option available for users who have prepaid load of less than Php10USD 0.17INR 14EUR 0.16CNY 1. This is to help users maximize their remaining load credits.

However, there another set of per minute charging which is available to all prepaid users as another option. Here’s the screenshot of the complete offerings taken from Smart WebConnect.

So that’s Php60USD 1INR 87EUR 0.97CNY 7 for 3 hours (180 minutes) and expires in 2 days, Php100USD 2INR 144EUR 2CNY 12 for 5 hours (300 minutes) and expires in 4 days and Php150USD 3INR 217EUR 2CNY 19 for 7.5 hours (450 minutes) and expires in 7 days.

The rates still follows Smart Bro’s Php20USD 0.34INR 29EUR 0.32CNY 2 per hour and will still be great for people who frequently use Twitter, FB or FourSquare but don’t really need to go online 24/7.

If you go with UnliSurf, that’s Php50USD 0.85INR 72EUR 0.81CNY 6 for 24 hours. If your cumulative mobile internet usage is under 3 hours for 2 days, instead of using Php100USD 2INR 144EUR 2CNY 12 for 2 days of UnliSurf, you have the option to pick Php60USD 1INR 87EUR 0.97CNY 7 for 3 hours within a 2-day period (which makes it cheaper).

I still like the idea of being able to choose between half-hour and per minute charging though. I often use Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare for just a minute or two at a time so an option to go for per minute charging would save me a lotta moolah.

been using minute-by-minute charging back in 2009 for few months, until SUN Broadband arrives and put up a cell site near my location within the village, better signal and convenient unlimited charging rates. unlocked my smartbro usb and been using now for more than a year for Sun Broadband sim.

Iâ€™m impressed, I have to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog thatâ€™s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient persons are talking intelligently about. I am very blissful that I stumbled across this in my seek for something regarding this.
