   the .10 per min is great. but the unlimited calls promo last few years ago, can you bring that back? even though its work 300, it was worth it. please bring that back. load is so expensive now a days. tnx.

   wrencelot,
   try making an unlimted call smart to globe or smart to sun, then maybe you’ll understand.

   but seriously, it’ll be nice to have the 0.10 per second implemented permanently. It gives us consumers fair pricing (paying for what we use) as well as fair profit to the telcos (don’t think they’ll offer this at a lost). the unlimited plan will eventually overburden their network and cause a lot of inconvinience (pretty much like what happened a couple of years ago with globe and smart).

   IMHO, per-second charging is the way to go, unless the per-minute rates drop to more reasonable levels. Pinoys are more of texters than callers, so I guess the telcos do, indeed, have excess capacity when it comes to voice calls. It’s high time they utilize this by offering better rates for people who aren’t really into “cell-e-babad”.

   At any rate, whatever happened to that NTC ruling of per-pulse or per-second charging?!?

   [...] There’s a good discussion on Pinoy.Tech.Blog about Globe to Globe at P0.10 per second [...]

   Hi guys,

   nice discussion here. cool lang tayo ha .

   I don’t see the promo resulting in network congestion. In fact, the promo promotes responsible use of the network: “make your call short and sweet and get charged only for what you use up”.

   That’s a whole lot different from the unlimited promo where people had a tendency to make their money’s worth by making useless calls — just to max-out their unlimited calls. That’s irresponsible.

   My fearless predictions:
   * Smart will follow-suit after a month or two.
   * Sun will maintain their unlimited calls/text — that’s where they made a name for themselves.
   * Both promos — unlimited and per-second — will eventually co-exist;
   >> unlimited serving the general “cele-babad” populace (in general, the pre-paid market)
   >> and per-second serving the strictly business callers (in general, the post-paid market, the businessmen)

   As for the business proposition — I think Globe is taking a risk on this. They’re taking a cut from revenue (in corollary, consumers are saving a lot from this promo). Globe knows for sure that Smart can easily come up with the same promo. Globe’s initial crowd of switchers (from other telcos to Globe) will eventually even-out when Smart comes up with their own per-second charging.

   Ultimately, the consumers win.

   And I give credit to Sun Cellular for changing the rules of the game!
