Smart ‘switch madness’ takes Cebu by storm

CEBU, Philippines - Hundreds of Cebuanos took advantage of the great offers from  Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) when ‘Smart Switch Madness’ fired off last October 26 to 28 at SM City Cebu.

The three-day event featured big discounts, rebates, great postpaid plans, coolest phones and lots of freebies from Smart Prepaid, Postpaid, Broadband, and Infinity.

This amazing offer allowed mobile subscribers to have a hassle-free and fun way to enjoy Smart’s great services especially those who are tired of their old and unreliable service provider.

Along with other exciting handsets, the ‘Smart Switch Madness’ gave away the iPhone 4S for free, bundled with Unlimited Data Plan 1500. This bestselling Unli Data Plan 1500 came with 60 free minutes, 120 SMS, and unlimited, 24/7 and high-speed mobile Internet — allowing users to truly enjoy all the apps and features of the device.

Cape Cabansag, a call center agent was among the many switchers in the event. After two years with another service provider, Cape finally decided to switch to Smart because of better connections in their village located in the south of Cebu.

“I got an iPhone 4S unit. With Smart’s fast Internet connection and clear network, I will be able to connect well with my family. This will really be a big help in getting to know their whereabouts while I’m at work,” Cape said.

Rhea Clamares, a young bank executive, has also been tied with another service provider for the past 5 years.

“I was with my previous network for a long time since many of my friends are using the same provider. I have decided to switch to Smart today because it’s more convenient. With its features, it will give me a better way to communicate with my boyfriend who is working abroad especially with the unlimited Internet,” Rhea shared.

Rhea secured two units of iPhone 4S – one for her use and the other for her brother. With Smart’s services, she finds it a lot helpful in her daily activities with family and work.

The functions of Samsung Galaxy Tab plus the amazing offers of Smart postpaid plan also tempted Dexter Armentano to switch to Smart.

Dexter, who has been a user of other mobile companies for a long time, decided to use Smart again because of its widest coverage. Being a merchandising supervisor, he finds it easier to finish his task with Smart’s clear connection. Being an architect too, he can send out design samples abroad with no difficulty.

“Smart is so nice. With the use of this Samsung Galaxy Tab, there is ease of access. I can send out my designs abroad without any hassle using the unlimited internet access. My whole family is also using Smart because of its good connection, that means I will get on time every text message that they will send,” Dexter shared with excitement. 

Arianne Monic Wenceslao used to enjoy three SIMs to connect to everyone. But with Smart’s iPhone 4s offer, Arianne did not think twice but immediately grabbed the promo.

“The amazing phone and the unlimited high-speed Internet connection are really useful at work. With Smart’s fast internet connection, I will be able to converse with my boyfriend abroad without any frustration,” Arriane exclaimed.

The ‘Smart Switch Madness’ became even more exciting with the presence of Brazilian-Japanese model turned actor, Daniel Matsunaga as special guest. Matsunaga, who has been a Smart user for a long time, cheered up mall-goers, inviting them to switch to Smart. (FREEMAN)
