Time to switch? You bet it is!

As those who have my personal mobile phone number know, I switched to the better network sometime last year after I've had enough of dropped calls, late messages, and going over my set budget for monthly phone bills. Why make things complicated when I can just choose the easier and better option, right?

Anyway, I am a Smart prepaid subscriber now and I love how it's a lot more pocket-friendly because I only need to buy P300 credits per month and use the MEGA 250 promo that gives me unlimited texts to all networks, 3 hours of calls to Smart and Sun subscribers, and 100 mb of data at just P250 every 30 days! I know I sound like a paid advertisement right now but I'm not; it is really what I use and I have since convinced a couple of my friends to switch to Smart because of this promo. :) Also, because we were given company phones with unlimited data (also powered by Smart), I do not need to switch my data  on anymore - I just use my company phone as a portable hotspot. ;)

On April 11, Smart subscribers and switchers alike flocked to Opus in Resorts World for the Smart Move party for an "exclusive gathering for those who have embraced the telco's mantra of Living More."

“When you’re struggling with your wireless services – a missed call, a late message, slow Internet – you’re losing time that you can’t get back. You’re literally losing a part of your life,” Lorenzana explained. “Now when your provider is able to give you the service you need, service that is both timely and dependable, you also get more time to enjoy life. You actually get to Live More.”

Smart Move panelists Ingrid Chua-Go, Cristalle Belo-Henares, Rod Nepomuceno 

A panel of three special guests who made the Smart Move – fashion blogger Ingrid Go of The Bag Hag Diaries, lawyer Rod Nepomuceno of PR firm Big Big Big, and entrepreneur Cristalle Belo-Henares of the Belo Medical Group – all affirmed that with Smart, subscribers do indeed Live More. Each panellist shared their experiences with Smart, talking about how much better life has been with the wireless service provider’s reliable service and high-speed internet connection.

I went with my friends Dianne and Third and it was great just to hang out with them outside of the normal Saturday night hang-outs we're used to. :)
