SMART iPhone 5 LTE vs Globe iPhone 5 LTE Speed Test

Apple’s iOS 6.1 update for the iPhone 5 now allows iPhone 5 users from both SMART and Globe telecoms to use their network’s LTE.

For SMART, users can access free LTE on their iPhone 5 until the end of April (still waiting for Globe Telecoms’ announcement).

I have yet to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 but I am already seeing a lot of speed test photos in Facebook from my friends. So, which network has a better LTE?  SMART or Globe? Hit the comments if you have already upgraded your SMART / Globe iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1 and currently enjoying their free LTE service. :D

Here’s a photo of a friend’s Speed Test. He’s using a SMART iPhone 5. Fast eh? Can’t wait to upgrade mine. :)

Tnx Doc Mon for the tag :)

Smart Bares Biggest Prepaid Trinet Offer ‘Unli Call & Text 25’

Banking on the sheer size of the combined Smart, Talk ‘N Text, and Sun Cellular subscriber base, wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is launching its biggest ever and most affordable unlimited offer called ‘Tri-Net Unli Call & Text 25’.

The new product allows all Smart Prepaid subscribers to enjoy unli calls and send unli SMS to the combined 68.6 million subscribers of the three wireless brands, all at only P25 for one day. The package also includes 20 SMS to other networks.

“With this tri-net version of our bestselling Unli Call & Text 25, we are ramping up our prepaid business by turning a great offer into an even better one,” said Melissa Limcaoco, head of prepaid and postpaid marketing at Smart.

“It’s still unli, but it’s now tri-net – which means that Smart Prepaid subscribers can stay in touch and enjoy virtually endless conversations and SMS exchange with their friends and family, but their world has become so much bigger since now they can also call or text people using Sun. What’s best, we’ve kept it to its flat rate of only P25 for 24 hours’ use,” Limcaoco added.

To avail of Unli Call & Text 25, subscribers must have at least P25, then register to the package by sending UNLI25 to 6406.

Once registered, users can start sending an unlimited number of tri-net SMS to any Smart, Talk ‘N Text, or Sun number. They can enjoy unli calls by calling *6406 plus the 11-digit mobile number, e.g., *640609181234567.

“Combine the flexibility of keeping in touch with the most number of people via calls or SMS with Smart’s superior nationwide network coverage, and you have a service that simply cannot be matched – and that’s Tri-Net Unli Call & Text 25,” Limcaoco added.

Limcaoco refers to the recently reported results of the National Telecommunications Commission’s (NTC) 4th Quarter Quality of Service (QoS) Benchmarking tests, validating the superiority of the ‘supercharged’ Smart network over competition.

“This supercharged network is what allows us to offer services that are extremely high in value but very easy on the pockets,” ended Limcaoco.

Smart has over 52.6 million mobile subscribers as of end-September 2012, more than 90% of whom are on prepaid. They are served by a network of over a million Smart Load retailers all over the country selling Smart Load and other bucket offers.

Smart has the largest and most pervasive cellular and broadband network infrastructure in the country, providing coverage to over 99% of the population.

Smart Unveils Most Affordable LTE Broadband Plan

Wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) the country’s pioneer in LTE networks, makes the Philippines’ fastest wireless broadband service more affordable than ever as it unveils the new Smart LTE Broadband Plan 1299.

“Designed for netizens who want their occasional LTE fix, Smart LTE Broadband Plan 1299 gives even more Filipinos the opportunity to Live Faster and Live More,” said Smart Broadband Internet and Data Services Head Lloyd Manaloto.

“Similar to LTE Broadband Plans 3500 and 1749, Smart LTE Broadband Plan 1299 is capable of speeds of up to 42Mbps so you get the full LTE experience,” he added.

Backed by the country’s first and only 100% super-charged network, Smart’s LTE services can be enjoyed in more than 500 establishments in 10 cities across Metro Manila—many of which feature Smart LTE “sticker pins” in their respective storefronts.

The list of LTE hotspots includes popular public places such as malls, restaurants bars, clinics, salons, and other recreational areas. Smart LTE is also present in certain residential areas and in select areas in Boracay, Cebu, and Davao.

As a special treat for early adopters, Smart LTE Broadband Plan 1299 can be used on an unlimited basis until January 31, 2013*. Subscribers also have the option to avail of a Pocket WiFi device for a one-time fee of just P2,000.

“With the Smart LTE Pocket WiFi, all of your devices can now run on the power of LTE,” said Manaloto.

“This gives you the chance to get the most out of our world-class LTE service and to experience what it’s like to truly Live More,” he added.
