Smart offers affordable Internet mobile package

-

MANILA, Philippines - Prepaid subscribers of leading wireless services provider Smart Communications may now take advantage of affordable, off-peak mobile Internet rate of as low as 17 centavos per minute with the launch of the Off-Peak Lite mobile Internet package.

With Off-Peak Lite, Smart Buddy subscribers will receive one free additional hour of mobile surfing, when using their Smart cellphones to go online for an hour for the regular price of P20, during the off-peak hours of 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. The package is equal to two hours of mobile Internet for the flat-rate price of only P20.

With the launch of Off-Peak Lite, the wireless operator looks to beef up its mobile Internet value offerings, as more and more of its subscribers take up the use of the mobile phone as a tool to conveniently access the web, according to Jerome Almirante, Smart’s head of value-added and data services.

Off-Peak Lite may be conveniently availed of by using a cellphone’s built-in browser to access the menu in Smart’s mobile portal http://m.smart.com.ph/dataplan and clicking on the Off-Peak Lite link.

The Off-Peak Lite package must be purchased anytime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. The P20 charge will be deducted from the subscriber’s prepaid credit at registration. A one-peso prepaid balance must be maintained while subscribed to the mobile Internet package.

Any amount of time exceeding the registered two-hour period will be charged Smart’s existing flat rate of P10 for every 30 minutes.

Smart was also the first mobile operator in the Philippines to offer pay-as-you-go data plans at the lowest rate of 14 centavos per minute when it offered the All Day Surf promo, which provided 12 hours of Internet access for only P100.

The contribution of mobile Internet services to Smart’s value-added and data revenues has been significantly increasing.
