Sell your smart locked iPhone then buy open line.

I still don't get it talaga why need to used 2 sim cards from different networks.

Mukhang tanga talaga yun mga nakikita ko na 2-3 phones ang dala.

I beg to differ

I always carry 2 phones because one is a dedicated LTE modem which i point to the nearest cell site i can find

Why do i do that? I find it dumb to buy a pocket wifi. With that set up i can point my LTE modem the nearest cell site to ensure strong and stable 4G signal. That way im assured of a speedy internet experience

Do you use any android app that will help with finding the best LTE connection? Or maybe yung mga signal boosters?

^i use opensignal app to locate cell sites outdoor

I use the thorent app indoor, i simply orient the LTE modem using the thorent app as my guide. Faster download speed means good LTE signal reception

Not an apples to apples comparison. I dont use my Globe mobile data for downloading.

FB, IG, Spotify, Waze all day plus web browsing and YouTube - that's where my 3 GB allocation goes. Plus unli calls and texts to Globe and unli texts to all networks.

How much will it cost for a full month of that with a prepaid sim?

Not bad. But mababaw ako eh, I prefer numbers na 0917-8xx-xxxx or 0917-5xx-xxxx.

And ayoko rin yung nagpapaload pa every time. I mean sure you can just buy prepaid cards in bulk, but hassle pa rin. And if you lose your sim, wala na rin you can't keep your number forever.

Very flexible pa yan. Pag naubos 500 min call mo dyan, bayad ka lang 14 pesos may 500 min ka ulit. I use that. Pero hindi ako unli. Mas sulit ako sa 1gb lang. 250 a month lang ako

Pwede na magrequest ng sim pag nawala sa prepaid for smart and globe. Sun na lang ang hindi pwede for prepaid

I agree. I keep my postpaid number because i dont like changing numbers. But it is a luxury not a lot of people are willing to pay for. Cheaper and more flexible talaga prepaid. Wrestled with the idea several times. Di ko lang mapakawalan phone number ko...

If you factor in the calls, definitely more but then again since your loyalty rests with globe you can stick with globe

This is the sim only plan of globe, right? Smart have same kind of plan. For the same price eh they have 1GB more allocated but limited call minutes. So it's basically globes unli globe calls vs smarts 1gb more data. I'm planning to shift to either of these 2 plans at the end of my contract.

About 337.00 pesos ... 3 GB data, 1500 mins Globe/TM calls ... 1000 all-net SMS ...
260.00 pesos ... 1 GB data ... 1000 mins Globe / TM calls ... 1000 all-net SMS ...

You can use GCash to load yourself ... you can 4% rebate ... attach GCash to your prepaid account ... and you're good to go ...

You can still recover a lost prepaid card ... Globe charges 100.00 pesos ...
