MANILA, Philippines - Smart Communications Inc., the country’s leading wireless services provider, now offers a new postpaid plan which lets Smart Bro subscribers enjoy unlimited, high-speed broadband access at the flat rate of only P1,500 per month.
Offered by Smart subsidiary Smart Broadband, Smart Bro provides wireless, high-speed Internet access by connecting to Smart’s nationwide mobile broadband coverage.
Company officials said the new Smart Bro Plan 1500 comes with Smart Bro’s Plug-It, a USB stick-type modem – which can be used right out of the box after a quick and easy installation — making the service extremely portable and user-friendly, and gives broadband speeds of up to two mbps.
The new plan also comes with unlimited Wi-Fi access at all Airborne Access hotspots all over the country. Airborne Access is the country’s largest Wi-Fi hotspot operator, and is a subsidiary of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT), Smart’s parent company.
“This new plan increases the broadband options available to our subscribers and gives them the freedom and flexibility to access and benefit from the Internet as long as they want, from wherever they are in the country,” according to Ava Española, product manager of Smart Bro.
Smart’s expanded and upgraded network coverage offers High-speed Packet Access (HSPA), which is the faster version of the original 3G technology. The entire Metro Manila area, as well as all major towns and municipalities from Ilocos Norte to Davao del Sur, are now covered with HSPA – or high-speed broadband experience on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or a Smart Bro USB modem.
Officials added that applying for a Smart Bro Plan 1500 subscription is quick and easy. Interested individuals just need to fill out an application form, and present a valid proof of identification, a proof of address, and a financial document such as one’s latest income tax return, current bank statement, or a bank certification letter, at any Smart Wireless Center nationwide.
