Is 1,500/month (SIM-only) or 2,000/month (with smartphone + amortization) a fair price for unlimited cellular data unlimited domestic cellular & landline calls unlimited SMS The only thing that is not unlimited is IDD, international SMS, roaming calls/SMS/data.
Yes, this is reasonable as long as the data bandwidth should be at least 8-10Mbps with less than 100ms latency.
^I pay nearly 6K a month for All Unlimited Access (plus amortization over a family package) from one specific telco that is synonymous with “sphere”. I actually don’t believe everything is that unlimited because oftentimes cellular data sucks, is depressingly slow and spotty, and there’s always something extra to pay off in the bills.
I didn't realize you can still get a SIM with unli-data for that amount of money. Is this a mobile plan or a residential one? Globe still abide by their fair-use clause, which is.... fair, I guess. However, as to the spotty connections, I think I've got this down to a science. This is only true in densely-populated areas. RF is a finite resource and the only way it can handle more subscribers is to add more channels and/or cell sites. But doing so willy nilly will also add interference. In other words, 4G has reached its limit and it's time for 5G to take over.
Smart has its Limitless Infinity plans, starting at P3500. Though Smart doesn't use the word unlimited, they say "non-stop surf". So I guess that means it's only unlimited for browsing/surfing, but maybe not for other things (ex. mobile hotpsot)
It's a smart corporate account. I have that plan P1500 for unlimited internet. But when I got it last year the other inclusions are unlimited texts to all networks, unlimited calls to Smart/TNT/Sun, 200 call minutes to other networks including landline. When I checked their website today, that same plan now includes unlimited calls to all networks including landline.
How is the service level? We are renewing a dozen dozen accounts for the first company. Infinity subscribers: As you are probably a business owner the above mentioned plans may make more business and end-user sense to you. You can expense it out to BIR. I renewed last November with Globe Business Plan 1799 with bundled iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB at 1800/month for 24 months. Inclusions are the following for 3,599/month * 15GB cellular data * 1GB Facebook * Unlimited calls to Globe/TM * 100 mins of calls to all other networks like Smart/Sun/TnT/PLDT/etc * 12 months of Duo local landline calls * Unlimited domestic SMS For February the counter part postpaid from Smart Enterprise is Plan 2000 with bundled iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB at 1900/month for 24 months. Inclusions are the following for 3,900/month * Unlimited cellular data * Unlimited calls to all domestic cellular or landline calls * Unlimited domestic SMS Is it worth a 301 peso difference? I hate to give the devil his due but the strong arm tactics of this admin is forcing competition among the telcos. I hope by 2022 the price of the plans reduces further.
@King I use it mainly for its unlimited data, and I am very satisfied with the plan. I am averaging 120GB of data as per the data counter on my phone and there is no capping: browsing, downloads, streaming. I have not experienced any issues yet (currently on my 8th month on this subscription, SIM only plan).
What's your download/upload speed in your area? For some installs I am looking to get an LTE router then hookup a landline handset so the office can make calls. Nevermind if it cannot get SMS.
For now, I am just using the smart bro pocket wifi together with my smart enterprise sim. I usually get around 10-15Mbps download, 15-20Mbps upload. Still thinking of giving up using the pocket wifi when I get a new phone. I also thought of buying the Huawei e5885 pocket wifi.
The smart enterprise plans with the non stop surf inclusion are still unlimited, same feedback I read from another forum.
If I am not mistaken, that modem is also highly recommended. I am just not too familiar nor had experience using that. I just read about it from another forum.
I'm using smart enterprise plan 2000, only using it for data. I can confirm it's unli. It's connected using my old globe home huawei modem which was unlocked. Here's a speedtest
