[mazdamazda]

masmalakas kasi ako mag text kaya talaga nag bebenefit ako from sun

pero teka sir mazda, i dont get it.. by march 14, yung P50/7days or 150/month unlimited TEXT lang? hindi na unlimited calls?

merong separate cards na for TU (text unlimited) and CTU (call & text unlimited). based sa pinost ko, magkakaroon rin ng CU (call unlimited) na card.

bale, nagkaroon lang ng new product. hindi i discontinue ang CTU.

so it's up to the consumer kung alin ang bilhin niya.

Sun Cellular's subscribers stood at 1.7M at end-Feb

Digitel Mobile Philippines Inc said the number of subscribers to its Sun Cellular service had grown to 1.7 million at the end of February, with 200,000 new customers subscribing during that month.

The company said it hopes to end this year with a subscriber base of 3 million.

"We have about 1.7 million customers as of end-February. We are adding an average of 200,000 a month. We hope to hit 3 million this year," said William Pamintuan, senior vice-president of Digitel Mobile's parent, Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc (Digitel).

He said Sun Cellular is gradually building up its customer base alongside the expansion of its network to be able to provide clients with better quality service.

"We are pacing-in the entry of new subscribers because our daily network build-up would expand our capacity to 3 million by the middle of the year," Pamintuan said.

Digitel will spend 200 million usd this year to expand its network coverage. It intends to increase its number of cell sites to 2,000 by the end of the year from more than 1,300.

This expansion will enable the company to serve as many as 6 million subscribers, instead of its present network capacity of 2 million.

Sun Cellular is the country's third and newest mobile phone service, having been launched only in March last year.

In October, the company began offering a competitive scale of charges which was the key to the firm's robust subscriber growth.

But its subscriber base still falls short of those of its competitors. Smart Communications Inc expects its end-2004 subscriber base to have reached 19 million, while Globe Telecom Inc had a subscriber base of 12.5 million at the end of last year.

Pamintuan said that to break even at the level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Sun Cellular will need to increase its subscriber base to at least 2.5 million.

Sun Cellular taps China firm for $200-M rollout

WIRELESS phone firm Digitel Mobile Philippines, operator of the Sun Cellular service brand, has tapped Chinese firm Huawei Technologies Inc. to do its $200-million network expansion that will install about 700 additional cellular sites to widen its reach.

Huawei Technologies is one of the largest telecommunications equipment producers and the seventh largest electronics company in China.

It has said it wants to do aggressive business in the Philippines and is currently in talks with all major telco players for supplies and contracts.

Sun Cellular's network has about 2,000 sites at present. The expansion would allow it to take in as many as six million subscribers, compared with the present capacity of about two million.

Digitel Mobile is a unit of Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc., a publicly listed unit of the Gokongwei group.

"The installation of additional 700 cellular sites forms part of the expansion," a Digitel official said. "It could consume about half of the $200-million budget."

The official said Sun Cellular expected to have 1.7 million customers at end-February, largely drawn by the popularity of its "24/7" unlimited call and text within-network plan.

For P350 a month or P100 for 7 days, Sun subscribers may enjoy unlimited services.

The company recently expanded its "24/7" menu by adding a pure unlimited, within-network text-messaging plan of P50 for seven days and P150 for one month.

Before it launched "24/7" in October, Sun Cellular had only about 700,000 customers. It says that since then it has been adding 6,000 subscribers every day. It says that if it can maintain the trend, it can add two million customers between this March and December and have more than four million subscribers at the end of the year.

Huawei also said it was negotiating supply deals with Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Smart Communications Inc., Globe Telecom Inc., and Bayan Telecommunications Philippines Inc.

Aaron Lin, an official of Huawei's local unit, said the company would like to expand in the Philippines, given the aggressive competition in the telco sector.

Huawei, put up in 1988, has become a strong multinational company in less than 20 years. Last year it recorded $5.6 billion in revenue, up 113 percent from 2003 and including $2.3 billion in overseas sales. Its net profit in 2004 was $459.1 million.

Huawei has 22,000 employees, about 45 percent of whom are in research and development.

Huawei has six research centers in China and overseas facilities in the United States, Russia, India and Sweden. With INQ7.net
