SmarTalk: SMART's Ultimate Unlimited Call Promo
Smart Communications Inc. (SMART), the country’s leading wireless services provider, launched today a new service that enables SMART Buddy and SMART Gold subscribers to make unlimited calls to over 38 million mobile phone users on the SMART network.
Called Smartalk, the new service will be available starting June 26, does not require any changes in SIM or cell phone number, and can be enjoyed by SMART Buddy and SMART Gold subscribers.
SMART subscribers will be able to avail of the service by purchasing loads for unlimited calls which come in two denominations. The first is “Smartalk 100″ which for P100 offers 5 days of unlimited calls to any subscriber on the SMART network anywhere in the country, at any time of the day.
Another variant, “Smartalk 500″, offers 30 days of unlimited calls to any subscriber on the SMART network for only P500 – effectively reducing the cost to as low as P17 for a whole day of unlimited calling to any number within the country’s largest mobile subscriber base.
“With this new service, SMART subscribers all over the country need only one phone, one SIM, and one number, to be able to make unlimited, crystal-clear calls to over 38 million SMART numbers anytime, anywhere,” said Orlando B. Vea, Chief Wireless Advisor of SMART, and also one of its founders.
“This is our way of helping out our subscribers in these difficult times and is our response to the government’s call for more affordable telecommunications services,” added Vea.
“This is the ultimate unlimited. Smartalk re-writes the rules in the way ‘unlimited’ mobile services are made available to Filipinos -no other service offering provides unlimited, nationwide calling to a subscriber base as large as SMART’s, while assuring callers of crystal-clear signal quality anywhere in the country,” said Danilo Mojica, head of SMART’s wireless consumer division.
SMART Buddy prepaid subscribers may avail of Smartalk through registration. A subscriber just needs to send Talk100 to 6400 for a Smartalk 100 package, or Talk500 to 6400 for a Smartalk 500 load. The payment for the package bought will be automatically deducted from subscriber’s prepaid load, and they just need to have a P1 maintaining balance.
They can also buy these Smartalk packages as a load from any of over a million SMART Load retailers all over the country.
When making a call using the Smartalk unlimited package, SMART Buddy subscribers just need to dial *6400 plus the 11-digit subscriber number being called, eg., *640009181234567.
Subscribers of SMART Gold, the telco’s pioneering postpaid brand, may also stretch their monthly budget for mobile services by availing of Smartalk.
All SMART Gold subscribers from Plan 800 and up may avail of 30 days of unlimited calls to any number within the SMART network, with Smartalk 500. They just need to send Talk500 to 6400 to purchase the package, and the 500-peso charge will be billed on top of their monthly service fee (MSF).
SMART Gold subscribers can also purchase Smartalk 100or Smartalk 500, from any of over a million SMART Load retailers all over the country. This is best for post-paid subscribers who prefer to stay within their MSF cap yet need to avail of unlimited calling service through the convenience of a prepaid package.
SMART is widely credited for having made mobile phone services much more affordable and accessible, when it introduced sachet-size packets of prepaid airtime through Smart Load. The electronic load platform has also enabled SMART to offer a wide variety of call and text packages that are specially designed to be affordable, and made available through a wide network of retailers present in every corner of the country.
“Over the years we have progressively lowered the costs of our services and designed our offers to truly meet the varying needs and purchasing power of our subscribers. By offering Smartalk – a service that’s easy to understand, ubiquitous, and affordable – SMART once again transforms the playing field and offers real value to mobile subscribers,” Vea said.
Smartalk will be offered nationwide until September 30, 2009. For more information, visit http://www.smart.com.ph/.

@mariel, that is true. this smartalk is one fraud service. prior to Consumer group Consumer Complaints Center, Inc. has filed a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) against Smart Communications, Inc.’s promo "Smartalk," calling it "deceptive" and "confusing." Consumer Complaints Center President Vicente F. Gambito said his group has been receiving complaints about smartalk on the supposed poor service of the unlimited voice call promo smartalk. Mr. Gambito claimed the service bogged down during the first two weeks of implementation of smartalk, and that the *6400 service was unavailable for reasons such as the "phone was unattended" or "phone is outside of the coverage area", but a connection could be made to an non Smartalk number using a regular call without the use of the prefix *6400 of smartalk. Also, attempts to subscribe to Smartalk during the period only resulted in receiving delayed messages saying the promo was unavailable at the time the registration was made.

Smart 's Unlimited Call is a FRAUD! You shud not avail this crappy promo! NTC should look after this. Na try nyo na ba? 5 minuto na lang per call? ano yan payphone? Sa tagal mong paulit-ulit mag dial ng gusto mo tawagan puputulin lang ng 5 minuto habang nag u UZZAP. Mabuti n lng kung isang attempt mo lang ring na! no, Para kang papasok sa butas ng karayom sa promo na ito! Itigil nyo na yan SMART or else give us a fare promo like GLOBE did on their SUPERUNLI (30 minuto). NTC approved SMART UNLIMITED CALLS until APRIL 2010. Suriin nyo naman po NTC!
this smart unli call promo is shit!you can barely make a call thru the promo. what good is that? and when you can it will cut you off not for long. This is a fraud and smart is better off without this. you are putting your good name to level with other mediocre network offering cheap calls. I feel im wasting my 100 with your no value promo. mas OK pa tm sa inyo now. you should be ashamed of this, you fraud!
