Smart offers perfect school gear

MANILA, Philippines - With more and more students becoming increasingly tech-savvy, it’s time to look for the perfect gear that will help them stay productive and successful in school.

Smart Gold, the postpaid brand offered by Smart Communications Inc., offers a “SIM + laptop” postpaid plan.

Smart Gold postpaid plans of P1,800 and up come with a Smart Gold postpaid SIM, plus a free, 10-inch MSI Wind netbook, a small but full-featured laptop built primarily for computing on-the-go, in lieu of a free mobile phone.

For those who want to avail themselves of the bundle but at lower plans — such as plans 500, 800 or 1,200 — a one-time cash-out for the MSI Wind netbook will be required.

Students may also opt to avail themselves of the Smart Gold “Nokia 5000 + laptop” postpaid plan.

For plans 2,500 and up, both the Nokia 5000 and the MSI Wind laptop come free, while a one-time cash-out will be required to avail oneself of lower postpaid plans.

“With more and more students turning to gadgets for information and entertainment, these specially designed Smart Gold bundles will be the perfect campus gear for them — a laptop to keep them productive, and a Smart Gold handset to keep them connected,” said Miriam Choa, Smart Gold manager.

All Smart Gold postpaid plans come with free or subsidized handsets, free airtime, and free SMS.

Smart Gold subscribers also enjoy high-speed, mobile Internet and other state-of-the-art services offered by Smart’s nationwide 3G and HSPA coverage, and advanced mobile commerce tools, among others.
