Not to sound like a Smart loyalist, but they don't need to catch up with a desparate promo because they're already big enough.
From our contacts in Smart, this 1 week offer is like a trial promo, they want to check the market's response to a free phone offer. They didn't even advertise the whole thing, it was word of mouth. The Smart officers were kind of shocked that the promo was TOO successful.
I have the corporate offer sheet of Globe with me but I can't figure out how to post it online. Basically, it's the same as Smart, but the contract duration is longer. (if with Smart it's 24 months, with Globe it's 36 months)
Just check the fine print before committing.

Well Smart has the guts to market phones and plans at really low prices. That's why they are very successful. While Globe is more conservative. I don't really care on who wins out. But if Smart turns into a monopoly, the quality of their service might suffer.

Smart's promo isn't necessarily better than Globe's...
Smart’s promo requires you to maintain your plan for up to 3 years. Globe’s offer requires you to stay for only 2 years. For many of the handset offers, the total cost evens out: for instance, the XDA II is free at Smart’s P1,200/month plan with 36-month lock-in, and at Globe’s P1,800/month plan with 24-month lock-in. For both, the total is P43,200 – but with a shorter lock-in period for Globe.
Further, as those already on the Globe network would know, Globe’s offer is about more than just getting a free handset, but also access to Globe’s award-winning services, such as Text Back Mo, Libre Ko; Call and Text Collect; Share-a-Load, and future world-class innovations; assurance of clear connections during calls; membership in exclusive clubs such as Globe Girlfriends and GenTxt; and access to MyGlobe’s content.
There’s no reason to switch to Smart, because Globe is giving you not only a free phone, but a slew of other great services from the leading postpaid plan provider!

sorry but smart has a much better network than globe. iwas on globe from 1996 and finally killed my line early this year. have been on addict since it launched and have to say that globe's service is 2nd rate compared to smart. globe users will just never know it until they try it.
sorry but that's the reality of it.

Smart - no voice calls while roaming, only text.
Ok lang yan kung ang mga contacts mo ay puro family members and barkada. Kaso lang, paano na kung kailangan na tumawag ka sa isang opisina? I-text mo na lang ba ang mga messages mo sa managers or VP ng isang multi-national corporation?

hey guys kala ko ba tungkol sa Globe Promo ang forum n2 eh mukhang battle zone na 'to ng two networks ah! out of the topic na. Basta kung saan kayo masaya dun kayo para lahat masaya okey. Yung mga taga Smart why not post a new forum for your promo. Ako Globe & Esato 4ever period.

@bobstarsg: There's a topic on the smart promo already started by jojo51069.
IMHO, there will definitely be more promos by the cell networks in the near future. With the new and soon-to-be-released new cellphone models (most brands), i believe new strategies will emerge to sell these phones. The latest promos are probably means to unload old stock to make room for the new phones....

I'm staying with Globe. Been a subscriber since 96. My family members (4 out of 6) have transfered to Smart 2 years ago. Now they want to go back to where they started. Why? Smart's Customer service. What do you expect from a PLDT company? Good luck to those blinded by a silly promo. Hope you have the patience with after sales customer support. Globe, hope you start giving options to non platinum loyal subscribers. It helps to keep what you have. Unlimited minutes on weekends? 2mb free allocation on gprs?:-)
