PLDT bills can now be paid via the Internet

Starting May 1, PLDT corporate customers can view and pay their phone bills via the Internet or their Smart GSM mobile phones.

This new service, called "PLDT @ctive Bill," offers PLDT subscribers a more convenient and secured means of monitoring and paying their bills.

"Initially, this service is aimed at addressing the relatively more complex requirements of corporate customers," said Nerissa S. Ramos, assistant vice president for business solutions product center.

A value-added service offered at no extra cost, the PLDT @ctive Bill service will automatically notify enrolled customers via the Internet when the bill is already available and then lets them download their bills and print these in various formats such as Word, Excel and HTML.

At that point, the customer can exercise his option of paying either via the Internet or on his Smart GSM phone.

To enroll, a customer has to visit the PLDT @ctiveBill website (http://billing.pldt.com.ph) and provide basic information such as name, e-mail address, PLDT telephone account name (i.e. subcriber's name), and account number.

After his application is verified and validated, the customer will be notified via e-mail. A confirmation letter (CL) will then be sent/mailed within 15 days soliciting the approval and signatures of the subscriber on record or his authorized representative and the registrant.

As soon as the CL is returned to PLDT, the PLDT @ctiveBill sends notification, whether approved or declined. The mechanics of the payment will depend on which option the customer elects to use.
