Last Sunday me and my wife inquired about the SUN Cellular Php350 plan. Well basically the idea came from my friend Dhing whom is a SUN subscriber. According to the representative we talked to, Plan 350 features the following
- Unlimited Call & Text SUN – SUN
- Free 250 Text to other networks
- Free Phonekit of your choice between
Sony Ericsson K310i,
Nokia 2626
Philips S660
Samsung SGH-X510
The plan is really enticing and tempting because of the offers this plan is giving. But I’m more concern on the performance of the network. I tried bringing up this problem to the representative to see how they react and tried to twist this problem with their marketing wit. Well they succeeded, because they were able to convince me to give the 350 plan a shot. The deciding factor basically is that they told me that postpaid subscriber have more priority on their network and “Always Busy Network” nightmare will seldomly occur as they explain. I was trying to get just a single plan but the representative advise me to get 2 plans each for me and my wife. She told me that I would be easier to call and text postpaid to postpaid because of the priority SUN is giving to them. So again I was captivated by their marketing advise and finally got the 2 350 plan which is 700 pesos a month, whew! But before we decided to get these two me & my wife talked first on how much we really consumed on our prepaid subscription with G****, according to her we are consuming more or less 1000 pesos a month. So comparing all factors weve finally decided that the 2 plans are still reasonable considering our lifestyle. So in the end we got the 2 350 plan with the Samsung SGH-X510 free phone.
So hows the plan now?
On this date we are on the 3rd day of the subscription, well in fairness the representative was right, connection to SUN-SUN was an ease. I didn’t have to wait for some time till my call is connected unlike the prepaid subscription. Text messaging? no problem! I tried making a test on how long it will take the text to arrive, so approximately 5 seconds, not bad as I have told my wife. So last night I’ve decided to broadcast my new SUN number to all my friends, I’m going to use this as my primary number and will later say goodbye to my G**** prepaid number.
So whats the benefit?
In our lifestyle me working in Manila and my wife in Pampanga. Call and text thru cellphone are our only communication from Tuesday to Saturday. Approximately we consume more or less 1000 pesos worth of load with our prepaid subscription. In fairness with G**** the service is the best, but with an alternative as offered by SUN and the savings we can get every month, who will refuse to avail.
