SMART 3G, Globe Visibility, PLDT WeROAM


As a subscriber to both Globe WIZ and Airborne Access, I haven’t found the need to apply for a roaming Internet connection. Currently, there are three competing packages offered by Globe, PLDT and Smart with the following rates listed below as well as their advantages and disadvantages (taken from Pinoy Tech Blog):

PLDT WeRoam
Unlimited 3G/HSDPA Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet (via AirborneAccess)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet
Php2,500 setup fee
Php1,700 monthly service fee (MSF)
Free use of Mobile Data Card

Globe Visibility
Unlimited 3G/HSDPA Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet (via Globe WiZ)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet
Php2,000 setup fee
Php2,000 monthly service fee (MSF)
Free use of Mobile Data Card

SMART 3G
“Tingi pricing” at P10.00 per 30 minutes
Weaker signal despite the “more coverage”
Does not allow cPanel so forget about IMs and your own site’s webmail

I am a native of Bicol region, I do like to inform all the readers out here that I will be one of the presenters of the upcoming Pacific Telecommunications Council in Honolulu, Hawaii on Jan 14 to 18.

I’ll be presenting my paper regarding 4th Generation mobile technology: beyond 2G, 2.5 and 3G technologies.

PLDT We Roam has intermittent
connection problems.

After 1 or 2 mins of connection
you will not have anymore browsing
capability.

It depends on location even if
your in Metro Manila.

If you live in KAMANAVA area, forget
it. No connection on that location.

It literary looses its browsing
capability after 1-2 minutes.

Cust Service does not know how to
help. Need to always escalate to
their Top Heads in order to make
things moving.

Living in KAMANAVA Area? Forget
getting WEROAM. Does not work on
those area.

I’ve purchaseed my wireless Aircard 775 and signed up with PLDT Weroam. So far it’s doing fine with me. Ofcourse a little slow and experienced time out when accessing site with security where I need to supply password. At least I can access my email and finanacial accounts while going around the provinces here in Luzon and in Visayas
