    Dre, ako gamit ko Mango ng Digitel, during fine weather, ok sya. Unlimited local calls. Fix monthly P640 + NDD at IDD kung tumawag ka. I have it for almost two years now. But dahil nga wireless, kung masama ang panahon kahit na may signal yung indication di ka makontak at kahit na battery operated sya kung walang kuryente di na magamit kasi yung battery power nya will only last for few hours. Di ko na pinaputol kasi I use it for my local calls here in Laguna.

    i think the weather will have an effect on the signal/service no matter what carrier you choose. among all of them, bayantel seems to offer the most value for money because it offers unlimited calls.

    pldt is not unlimited parang 10 hours lang a month and you are "limited" to the city where you live. in other words if you live in qc, you cant take the phone with you in alabang. that's how i understand their service. kasi magko conflict daw sa smart, baka raw mawalan sila client. this feedback came from some users.

    it seems that pldt, came out with wireless landline para lang masabi na meron sila. you will not even find info on it on their website, because the terms of service is not competitive, i guess.

    Phone Unit Cost: Php2,400
    Activation Fee: Php600
    Monthly Service Fee: Php600
    Limitations: 600 call minutes (10 hours) per month, with 120 free SMS

    meron kami bayan span, pinadadala namin palagi sa driver para pagnagdeliver sya madaling tawagan. so far witht the 2 months use ok naman. battery life usually last for around 3 days. sana lang may car charger mabili.

    from what i know mango is ok but signal is mainly in the quezon city area. they were the first to offer wireless landline service. but like all wireless services, it's based on line-of-sight signal so if you go to an area where the signal is blocked by a building, you may not have any signal na. bad weather can also interfere the signal.

    im using a bayantel span sa house. ok naman sya. better than my previous PLDT fixed wired landline, mas mura pa.

    have not tried taking it out of the house dahil may mga mobile phones naman kami eh. our intention is just to have it replace our PLDT Wired Landline.

    signal is ok. las pinas area. and it can send out text messages to my smart mobile phone, pero sa globe hindi sya maka text.
