well video calling for smart will be free until may 31,06. after that, it will be charged. i dont know about the rates. for now, the P10/30 minutes is a good and better deal than globe's .15c/kilobyte charges.
in the short and long term, i do hope that smart and globe do not end like other 3g operators like Hutchison (under Li ka Shing) which is at a loss because of its big investments in 3g.

paglilinaw lang po... ito bang P10/30mins e right from the time i logged into another wap site other than smart... start na ung rate nya? pano kung nde ko naubos ung 30mins then i stopped... automatic i hafta pay P10 n agad... kasi tumakbo n ung first 30mins ko e? or is it by consumption?
halimbawa pag nag GPRS ako... and didnt finish 30mins lets say mga 20mins lng nagamit ko. magkano rate nun?

It's a continuos maximum of 30 minutes for a Php 10 peso charge. Rate is Php 10 whether you use 1 second or 30 minutes.
Lesson: Once you are logged on, maximize your 30 minutes usage.

oh well sana nga..kasi pag nalugi sila bka bawiin din sa mga consumers.
sa palagay nyo ba madami mag 3G sa pilipinas? ngaun nga.. i doubt kung madami ang gumagamit ng GPRS on their GPRS enabled phones e.. other than retrieving/sending MMS.
pero I agree 10php/30mins of GPRS/3G internet connection is a GOOD deal... esp sa mga 3G device..kasi balita ko bilis talaga magsurf pag 3G unit/network gamit. I haven't tried one though

tungkol sa paggamit ng 3G sa phones sa tingin ko bihira lang gumagamit ung talagang may mga alam lang sa tech.. dami ako nakikita at ibang kakilala na may 3G phones pero langya di nmn nila maximized ung features nung mga phones nila... pamporma lang.
pero atleast... siguro nmn papunta tayo dun sa panahon na marami na ang tatangkilik sa 3G... kahit nga libre sa smart iilan lang nakikita ko gumagamit nung vid conference... naatat n nga akong bumili ng 3G pero saka na paglabas ng K800.

sabi ng NTC kelangan daw mag-inter-connect ang 3G ng 2 network within 3 months........ siguradong lalong sasaya ang video calling nyan

ok naman ang rate ng smart na P10/15 min. kaya lang minsan napakababa ng bandwidth. Sa data counter ng k750i ko umaabot lang ng 3MB per 30 min browsing. Kung tuloy tuloy ang browsing maximum is 7MB/30 min.
I connect the k750i to the laptop to surf the internet. Kaya lang hindi pwede ang audio and video stream. Di ko magamit ang voice and videocam features ng yahoo messenger.
Siguro kung 3G ang phone ko pwede na.
Anybody has this experience?
