Nokia Lumia 610 Coming Soon To The Philippines Brightest Telecom Network

What does Nokia Lumia devices and Sun Cellular have in common? Bright, shine and light forthwith as Lumia was coined for light while Sun shines bright, and also that both will bring a stellar phenomenon that will outshine the competition with its upcoming postpaid offering that will offer Nokia Lumia 610 FREE to Sun Cellular's Call and Surf 999.

The offer will go down as the most affordable postpaid plan offer in the country yet as it goes with it Unlimited Mobile Internet, Unimited call Sun to Sun and Unlimited text Sun to Sun. Now who can topple these ? None so far, not even close.

Globe Telecom offers the phone FREE on Personal Plan 999 and Business Plan 1200 but both are only 1/3 of what Sun Cellular offers. Smart Telecom on the other hand though had no news since the companies announcement early May but I'm very much confident that they cannot outlive Sun's offer, as always.

So there you go, if your looking for the best Nokia Lumia 610 postpaid offer, go visit Sun Cellular shops near you, they will be happy to accommodate.

Sun Cellular and Its Superior Gadget Deals

As promised, my Business Plan comparative article continues, this time with the phones and gadgets offered, and as the title implies, Sun Business packages is a cut above the rest.


Here are the reasons why:

1. At Postpaid Plan 350 (minimum of 5 lines), each line gets a better handset offers with the likes of Nokia C3, Samsung Genoa and Samsung Trevi, free! Included in this postpaid package is Unlimited Call and Text Sun-Sun and 250 Free Sms to other networks. With my current business plan of 499 from Globe, my 8 lines gets only a Nokia 2330 Classic with unlmited call Globe-Globe/TM and a 300 free SMS to all network, that's a whole lot of difference overall since Nokia cost at around PhP5,000 at the moment while the Nokia 2330 Classic cost at around PhP2,500 then.

2. Postpaid Plan 450 (minimum of 5 lines) would get you an upgraded handset with the likes of Nokia 7230, Nokia 5233, Samsung Corby WiFi and LG T310i, Free with Unlimited Call and text Sun-Sun, 250 Free Sms to other networks and 20 hours mobile internet.

3. Then for businesses where tracking and tracing is important, its being offered at Plan 450 plus Track and Trace service of 50 pesos add on, (minimum of 5 lines), Sun Business offers a Free Nokia C5 to all line with all the freebies aforementioned on Postpaid Plan 450.

4. Then came the best offer of all under the Sun Broadband Deals, Free HP Mini laptop (minimum of 5 lines), Samsung Galaxy Tab (minimum of 7 lines) and Huawei D100 router (minimum of 3 lines) for every Sun Broadband Plan 799 users. That's more than a false hope if your with Globe, Smart or PLDT Broadband because they will never offer this to users in there lifetime.

This plans so far is unbeatable in the Business Plan arena, so if your ardently considering one, look no further.

Sun Cellular And Its Most Affordable Business Plan Offers

Well I guess everyone is riding on the Business Postpaid Plan hype bandwagon nowadays with the latest from Sun Cellular with their Sun Business offers. It was Globe Telecom who offered this Plans first few years ago then followed by Smart, now its Sun Cellular and there offering it the cheapest with the best freebies, gadgets and handsets to date.

For instance, if you are to avail for a simple unlimited call and text, Sun Cellular offers a 350 Plan with free mobilephone handset, Globe offers unlimited call only on Plan 499 with free 300 messages to all network, while Smart has no business unlimited call and text offer which is a big joke from the countries largest network.


Add PhP249 from Sun Cellulars 350 rate (599) will give you unlimited landline calls, Smart has the Duo package for Plan 800 with a free handset while for Globe, you will need to add 450 to a business plus starter plan.

For call, text and surf unlimited, Sun Cellular gives a 799 Plan package, Globe offers this for Plan 2499, a crazy huge and unbelievable difference while Smart Telecom has non at the moment except for their month subscription of 1200 on top their regular postpaid lines. This would mean that your stupid if you will opt for Globe Telecom or Smart's with unlimited internet access as your primary service to consider.

Then came another point to acknowledge, Sun Cellular's inevitable integration to Smart Telecom which will give them a greater reached when it comes to coverage and subscribers.

Given all this, Sun Cellular is the only Business Plan of choice if you are to get one at the moment. It doesn't get any better than this except if Globe makes a move to lower its offerings. Question is, will they? You have 4 months to think about it Globe Telecom, you might loss 8 postpaid subscriber under my business line.

And I'm not through yet with this comparative article, I will be featuring the Handset and Gadget offers of Sun Cellular next time for you to see the big difference. Stay tuned for that.

Where Can You Get The Best Nokia N8 Postpaid Plan Offer In The Philippines?

Well if your planning to get the current mobilephone Camera King under a monthly plan, you have three Telecom network of choice to consider, you can either go for Smart Communications, Globe Telecom or SunCellular. The three network offers the phone FREE under an almost similar plan bracket, PhP2,499 for Globe and Php2,500 for Smart and SunCellular but they differ on services and features.

Unlimited Mobile Internet
500 FREE SMS to other networks
P500 Consumable
90 Minutes FREE IDD to the top 10 Countries: US (Main), Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Guam and Macau.

Base on the information's presented, SunCellular offers the best package with 4 unlimited offers, 500 SMS to other network, 500 consumable and 90 minutes IDD but it doesn't have a 120 minutes call to other network unlike the Business Plus but other than that, the offer is unequaled. With the company being integrated to Smart Telecom soon, it even becomes more enticing as it will inherit the strong and nationwide signal of biggest network in the country and its strong 50million subscribers giving its unlimited call and text offering a wider audience. Who wouldn't go crazy over this? If only I'm not contract bound to Globe Business Plus for the next 10 months, I would have switched!

A notch lower to the Suncellular offer is Globe Business Plus with 3 unlimited offers in tow. Its 120 minutes free call to other network cannot matched the P500 consumable and 90 minutes free internation call of SunCellular. Well its still good though but I'm losing interest on Globe Telecom nowadays as it favor Apple and Blackberry devices more. I hope SunCellular have offers for switchers so I don't have to wait 10 months more.

So there you folks, grab your Nokia N8 in SunCellular before you run out of stocks. The phone is hotly contested by SunCellular plan applicants at the moment.

Telecom Networks Beware! Social Networks Eclipsing SMS

According to the survey conducted recently, Filipinos used social networks more during the holidays than SMS to great friends and love ones… so what would the scenario imply?

Nothing much actually for general consumers but for the Telecom networks, it would mean a lot or should mean a lot for those networks who have not realized the gravity of the situation yet, this serves or should served as a wake-up call for them to change strategy in service offering that instead of focusing to SMS or Call, they should now consider Mobile Internet as a major service area to developed.

Sun Cellular’s Digitel saw this coming that’s why they have offered the very first call and surf unlimited package to their postpaid line, the Call and Surf Unlimited Lite 799 and the Call and Surf Unlimited 999. Under the Call and Surf Unlimited Plan 799, subscribers could get an unlimited Call offer Sun to Sun, unlimited Mobile Browsing and a free 3G phone to used under a two year contract. Part of the FREE phones offered were the ZTE F188, Nokia E63 and the Nokia 6730. The Call and Surf Unlimited Plan 999 offers the same package but with a more expensive FREE phones offered like the Sony Ericsson X8 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 and an added unlimited SMS Sun to Sun.

I am expecting the rest of the competition to follow soon, because if they don't, it would be the end of their domination. They have unlimited surf offering at the moment but its not as focus, mass market friendly and as oriented as that of Sun Cellular. They only consider mobile surfing as an add-on service, well they should think twice from now on, whether they like it or not, mobile surfing is going mainstream and its going to take over SMS very soon.

I'm looking forward to what Globe Telecom would do having the best Call and SMS postpaid offering at the moment, will they offer the same package as that of Sun Cellular particularly on their Business Postpaid Plans like a 799 Unlimited Call and Surf dropping the Unlimited SMS perhaps, or a cheaper and better one? Its a good package in my honest opinion and Globe should offer it by all means. Smart Telecom? Nah, they don't really care, I don't expect them to offer better Postpaid deals and they had suffered because of this, Globe Telecom is currently the number one Postpaid service provider in the country amidst Smart dominance in the prepaid arena.

So there you go, I hope Telecom networks can read this and act ASAP, clock is ticking fast!

The Cheapest Call and Text Unlimited: The Sun Magic Zone

Sun Cellular seriously wants to take over Mindanao as they launched a Mindanao loving SIM card called the Sun Magic Zone Mindanao. Yes, it is the cheapest call and text unlimited because for as low as 10 pesos, users could enjoy unlimited call and text unlimited to Sun Cellular subscribers. The SIM is currently being sold for PhP20 pesos with 2 days unlimited call and text so it’s as good as given.

Here are the price brackets:

PRICE (PHP)	VALIDITY	INCLUSIONS	TO COVERT TEXT CODE TO 247 (USE SUM REGULAR LOAD
10	1 day	Unlimited Calls and Texts	MCTU10
15	1 day	Unlimited Calls and Texts +10 Text to other networks	MCTU15
50	7 days	Unlimited Calls and Texts	MCTU50
200	30 days	Unlimited Calls and Texts	MCTU200

If you try to look at the price bracket, PhP200 for 30 days is dead cheap, no other promotion from both Smart and Globe Telecom can beat this down but there’s a catch, the SIM can only be use within the Mindanao area and won’t work outside the zone and with Unlimited offers used only for Sun Cellular subscribers within the area. Regular Sun loads can be used to call and text subscribers outside Mindanao both Sun Cellular and other Network users.

Tricky isn’t it, but more often than not, most of the people we interact often were within our reached, colleagues at work, friends, family members among other acquaintances so this is just as good as other offers. You must also bear with the limited coverage of the network and must have the power to convince peers to switch to Sun.

Anyways if this given drawbacks were okay to you, then this is a perfect offer to grab!

Freaky Friday! Christmas Promo's On The Loose!

Christmas is almost here and the shopping parade has begun and what more can you expect during this time of the month? SALE, PROMO's, FREEBIES!... and lots of them everywhere enticing consumers to spend in the spirit of giving and sharing.

Let start with PROMO's, you really need to know this pepz, a continuation of last Friday's blog post about Unlimited Services, Smart Telecom have just announced there answer to Sun Cellulars Unlimited Mobile browsing, The Unlimited Blackberry Prepaid Plan which offers almost the same package to that of Sun's, then savor it a bit. Figure this out, Unlimited Push Email, Unlimited Messaging, Unlimited Social Networking (Facebook and Flickr), Unlimited Internet Browsing for PhP50.00 per day, and the added treat, a PhP300.00 per 7 Days set up giving you as low as PhP1,200.00 per month. Yes its the lowest offer yet to the Unlimited Mobile Internet War edging out Sun's and very close to broadbands unlimited package of PhP999. Its almost a winner by knockout for Smart here except that its only available for Blackberry phones and since I am Nokia's Biggest fan, I will still proclaim Sun Cellular as the winner of this ruckus at the moment since their Unlimited Mobile Internet browsing covers ALL Brands, not unless Smart will be quick enough to include Nokia phones in this offer, unfortunately its still not so Sun triuph. Calling Smart people, read this lines, "NOKIA PHONES or NOTHING", understand!

Another counter punch promotion from Smart, they just launched the First and the Only Daily Unlimited Push Email to consumers particularly those who own Symbian and Java handsets. The package can register 2 email accounts, compatible with the most popular email providers such as Gmail, Windows Live!, Hotmail, and Facebook via RSS Feeds, Yahoo is expected to be available by the first quarter of next year and hopefully Ovi Mail as well. (Nokia should work this out, quick!) Good move here Smart, a varied unlimited service is a great strategy but then you must focus on bringing the Unlimited Blackberry Prepaid Plan to Nokia.

Talking about Sun, they have already launch the Sun Postpaid Christmas Bonus where you will get a chance to win two 2009 Toyota Vios, a trip for two to Australia for the Kelly Clarkson Concert, a trip for two to 7 Stones, Boracay, trip for two to Pearl Farm Davao among others by simply subscribing to any Sun Cellular Postpaid Services. For complete info and mechanics, CLICK HERE!

Metrobank Credit Card texted me to inform that they will be giving away a FREE Little Red Book filled with discounts and freebies when I get to spend at least PhP3000 at Robinson's or Cebu Pacific using my card up to January 31, 2010. Woo! Exciting, but we don't have a Robinson's Mall in our place so we cant use this, as usual.

Smart Telecom also texted me that my Billing Statement is now ready for viewing and that I need to pay my balance! This is a joke! hahaha c",

If your happen to be in Manila at the moment, you will get a good Nokia 5530 XpressMusic deal at Western. They got a 12 months installment plan for the phone at PhP1,083.33 per month with Zero Interest (Mockery of course, its a fact that the installment package was already factored in) but then the phone will still come out cheaper.

More to come! Stay Tune!

Freaky Friday! War Of The Mobile Internet Unlimited Services

The day that I have envision for a long time is slowly becoming a reality, the telecom and internet unlimited service convergence into one powerful communication tool on a mobilephone. It would only be a matter of time before things fall down to the way I wanted it to be.

The telecom unlimited service have been up for awhile now, big thanks to Sun Cellular Network who started it all, now consumers are enjoying unlimited text and call that they truly deserve fair and square as Smart Telecom and Globe followed its feet offering the same Unlimited services all through out. Sun Cellular deserve all the rounds of applause here!

The mobile internet unlimited services on the other hand starts to flag up as Telecom networks starts to recognize its importance. Thanks to Globe Telecom this time who started it all, I've been asking them to offer mobile unlimited internet service and they answered back with a per day per website Unlimited surf all day for PhP20 covering most of the well known sites, hats down!

Seeing how positive this service have become for Globe, Sun Cellular Network answered back with perhaps the best offer yet to date on this battle arena, the 1 Day Unlimited Mobile Internet which offers unlimited mobile surfing to any website any time of the day for only PhP50, imagine this for an offer in contrast to per kilobyte or per minute charging they were offering before, again Sun Cellular deserves a big hug for this, truly amazing! Then the country's biggest network, Smart Telecom, throw there own unlimited mobile browsing promo covering the same mechanics and covered websites to that of Globe, they must have felt the shake up that's why they have no choice but to join the trend, a classic act of Smart's losing innovative touch.

But then Globe wasn't done yet, to counter Sun Cellulars move of offering the 1 Day Unlimited Mobile Internet for PhP50, they currently launch the Super Surf Walang Metro campaign which offer an unlimited mobile internet browsing per month for PhP2,000 on top of their plan packages giving a head to shoulder battle to Sun's cheap service. Head to shoulder only because Globe's offer will come out expensive to that of Sun, come to think of it, with Globe's Super Surf, you will end up paying PhP2,500 per month because the PhP2,000 is charge on top of there plan which have PhP500 as the lowest plan package while with Sun Cellular you can avail of the 1 Day Unlimited Internet Service whether your postpaid or prepaid and if you multiply PhP50 for 30 Days (1 Month), you will only end up paying PhP1,500 only, that's a huge PhP1,000 difference!
I'm still waiting for Smart Telecoms answer to the per month unlimited mobile internet ruckus, I believe they will still copy Globes move and so I declare Sun Cellular as the winner of this war, only if they have a tower in our place, I would have switch long time ago. Sun Cellular really have the best and the cheapest service ever, again, calling Sun Cellular, put up a Tower here in Clarin, Misamis Occidental so we could avail of your service! Please!
