Smart announces their new service and plan for their subscribers, I just receive this PR from a Smart rep and the article contains rates per data you use and an instruction on how you can apply for your mobile internet using their Always On plan. I'm aware of this already beaue I read the news before fro Jim Ayson's blog. (more news below)
Its like capping yourself or having a limit use of bandwidth for your mobile internet, you will only pay for the data that you receive per day, you can save more money and also no worries for a painful bill of your mobile internet on the times that you didn’t even use it.
Subscribers can avail that 25MB Always On plan for a P20 a day, it is a good plan if you surf, check emails or update your stats on any social networking sites, the 25Mb will be not that heavy and it can cover all your data bandwidth for a day, but if you are a heavy internet user like downloading and video streaming, you can get the 2GB Always On package for P995 per month.
here are the list of volumes with their rates per day
| Volume | Price | Validity | Keyword | Access Code |
