Important things you need to know about the Smart Sun Dual Plan 549
Well it’s bound to happen. The PLDT-Digitel is already final and they wasted no time in offering a postpaid plan that would cater to people looking to join both Smart and Sun’s network hoping some cross-network magic is going to happen that would reduce the cost for using both networks.
You’ve probably seen the ad.
Looks pretty self-explanatory. You get a combined Smart-Sun Plan and be able to text for free across both networks. You will also get 2 hours free calls to Smart numbers using the Smart sim and 3 hours to Sun numbers using the Sun sim. Plus, you’ll get a Nokia C2-03 dual-sim phone for free!
Anyway, things aren’t as clear cut as it seems. We were able to confirm a few things from Smart and Sun:
- You can only use your unlimited text within the same network. Smart to Smart or Sun to Sun. Same with the free calls. Use your dual sim wisely.
- You can apply for this plan from Smart Wireless Centers or from Sun Shops nationwide
- You will receive two billing statements per month, one from Sun and one from Smart
- You can only apply for this dual plan as a new subscriber (no upgrades)
Knowing these things you are now probably thinking, why not just apply for two plans separately? Well best reason would be is that there’s no Plan 200 from Sun and the Plan 349 from Smart is exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy Y Netphone. So you’re still coming ahead when you want the cheapest postpaid plan for both Smart and Sun.
A lot of people are now wondering, when will there be a postpaid plan that can do unlimited texting to both Sun and Smart network regardless whether you have a Sun and Smart sim. I’m thinking Globe won’t allow that to happen.
