Would you still recommend that we avail of this promo from Sun Cel?

Many thanks.

IMHO kalimutan niyo na po.....marami pong dead sites.....di pa suportado ang MMS sa ibang service providers (globe and smart)...di ka makaka-send ng email using your phone dahil di pa available.....ganyan kahirap mag-sun cellular....no offense mazdamazda

[mazdamazda]

not to mention the only wireless telco with a P250 plan, cheapest call rates and the MSF that is consumable in any type of calls.

Well, we're a startup company after all You all heard the same comments with smart during its GSM infancy right? to compare the capital base of a 12M subscriber and 8+M subscriber company to one which only started this year is quite unfair. But do expect to see a lot more good stuff from us in the coming year.

[IceColdBeer]

Agree! Not that I am biased dahil client din namin ang Robinsons hehehe.

[TEAL]

Sirs Mazdamazda & Pajerokid, if ever I push thru with my intension of availing, pwede ba ako deretso sa inyo mag transact? Iba na yung mga kaibigan ang kausap. Lapit lang office ko sa Rob Gal.

Thanks.

Just my two cents regarding Sun Cellular.

I came across Sun around April of this year. At that time I already was a Globe Subscriber for two-plus years. Nakakakuha na nga ako ng mga letters from Globe regarding their free/discounted phone loyalty plan (their second offering, not their disastrous first offering). After thorough research, I decided to shift to Sun because of the flexibility of their plans.

I work in Cavite and live in Paranaque. So I make most of my calls like to my gf (wifey na pala...), house, parents, sister, etc. from Cavite to Manila. Whenever I would get my Globe bill, I realized that these calls, since they were made from Cavite were classified as NDD. So kahit na Globe to Globe yung calls ko, may NDD charges pa ako binabayaran on top of the free minute credit or per minute charge.

Add to that calls I make to land lines and non-Globe cellphones, I end up paying a lot more than my monthly fee without using all of my free minutes. Tack to that the currency adjustment and other charges Globe tacks on the final bill, the amount that I pay becomes a lot more than the monthly service charge that I thought I would be paying. I know... read the fine print.

With Sun, like mazdamazda said earlier, what you signed up for is what you pay monthly. Everything all in. Whether it be calls to a Sun cellphone, to a Globe/Smart Cellphone, to a landline, or even abroad. All of the calls are credited towards the MSF you pay. Plan 1000 ako, 1000 lang ang binabayaran every month (basta hindi lang sosobra sa allocation). No hidden charges, no currency adjustment, and no VAT ek-ek. I make the same amount of calls as I would with my Globe line before but I pay less.

Wala naman akong problema sa signal strength ng Sun (actually yung bahay namin na dead spot sa Globe at Smart, nakakathree bars ako with my Sun phone). Dito lang sa loob ng office, medyo mahina signal. But then again Globe had to install repeaters in the office to be able to boost their signal strength. Also sometimes medyo mahirap kumonek sa Globe or Smart. Pero siguro 1 out of 50 calls lang naman. Not really a bother for me. IMHO, good value for money yung mga plans ng Sun (lalo na naka-avail pa ako ng Pioneer Plan nila).

Considering March (?) lang naglaunch yung Sun. Like any company, maraming growing pains kung bago ka. I mean, who would've thought na malalagpasan ng Smart yung Globe sa number of subscribers diba? Di ako nagsisisi na lumipat ako sa Sun.

All this plus 4K ko lang nakuha yung 3650 ko. Hehehehe. :D

Just to make things clear, I am not affiliated with Sun Cellular or Digitel in any way.

Pero kung gusto gamitin ni PK yung post na 'to for marketing purposes... napapagusapan naman yung testimonial fee... hehehe :D

Cheers! :cheers:

[pajerokid]

green, Hahaha! ;)

[Tha_Mann]

kaya pala nde ako natanggap nung nag apply ako as Marketing Officer eh si pajerokid pala ang natanggap hehehe joke...

[mazdamazda]

pk, ikaw ba ang nakaupo sa likod ni caloy? hehehe...

[pajerokid]

m2, maybe. hehehe. For sure, by next week doon na ako permanently. right now roaming ako.

Tha_mann, Nyek!

[mazdamazda]

pk, ahahaha... F4 lookalike kasi...

btw, punta ka ng christmas party... may kalokohan kaming gagawin... ako ang napagdisketahan ng division namin

[sequoia]

sana lumabas sa sun yung pwede mong i-retain yung globe/smart number para maraming magshift. isa na ako doon. marami na kasing napagbigyan ng phone number eh.

[mazdamazda]

sequoia,

kahit sa states under debate pa yang scheme na yan... kailangan kasi ng cooperation ng lahat ng telco... kapag may isang umayaw, dehins pwede...

pati mukhang malabo dito sa atin, kasi allocated ang first 3 numbers by company (ie 917 - globe, 918 - smart, etc)...

[frt]

Sequoia: Thats Called Local Number Portability (LNP) ...technically it can be done....politically.....problema

PK : Marketing ka? May mga kilala ko diyan eh he he he :-)

[pajerokid]

m2, i'll prolly just drop by. meron kasing check up si erpats the following morning.

sequioia, i know some people who retained their globe numbers 844XXXX, when they shifted to sun, but siyempre 0922 yung start nung MSISDN nila.

frt, buti ka pa may kilala dito di ko pa kabisado mga co-workers ko eh hehe

[sequoia]

ok lang kung mapalitan lang yung number ng service provider basta ma retain yung the rest. naka plan kc kami sa globe
pwede kaya? sino pwedeng kontakin. mag si-shift kami ng wife ko. BTW, covered kaya ang nueva ecija? TIA

[green]

Actually puede yata i-retain yung number. When I shifted yung wife ko wanted to retain her number. Sabi ng Sun since starting naman sa 8 (as in 8xxxxxx) yung number niya puwede. So ganun parin yung number ng wife ko. 0922 nga lang...

Yung sa akin since 5 ang start, hindi naretain...

Pajerokid and Mazda-Mazda,
Since di pa available itong Sony Ericsson T230 with Camera,
at since nag-expire na ang inyong Sun Blast Promo starting
Dec. 18, 2003 paano na yung approved application ko?
Can I still avail of the the Sun Blast promo rates on handsets
other than the T230 even beyond Dec. 17?
And what do the other posters mean na di pa suportado
ang MMS ng Sun? Can't send MMS to Smart & Globe?

[pajerokid]

honestly sir TJMaxx, di ko po alam But i'll ask around. Give you feedback tomorrow.
