Smart Offers Free Internet For All
Smart launches FREE mobile Internet for prepaid subscribers
[26 September 2014] In an unprecedented move, wireless services leader
Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) together with Talk ‘N Text and Sun
Cellular today announced that they will start providing free Internet
access to its prepaid subscriber base via their mobile phones.
Over 66 million Filipinos gain access to the Internet
In an unprecedented move, wireless services leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) together with Talk ‘N Text and Sun Cellular today announced that they will start providing free Internet access to its prepaid subscriber base via their mobile phones.
Through this special offer, all of the 66 million Smart Prepaid, Talk ‘N Text, and Sun Cellular Prepaid subscribers can use their data-enabled cellphones to browse through and post on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, visit their favorites websites, search on Google and Wikipedia, use navigation tools like Waze and Google Maps, book a cab or limo service via Easy Taxi and Uber, or use traffic info sites such as the MMDA's and InterAksyon's.
They can also send and receive emails, read their favorite blogs or update their own blogs, listen to songs via Smart’s Spinnr music service, shop via online stores like Zalora, Lazada, book their travel details through sites like Skyscanner and Expedia, among other things – all without incurring data charges.
Subscribers can access the internet either through data-capable feature phones or smartphones running on Android, iOS and Windows operating systems. This special offer will be available initially until November 30, 2014.
“We are launching this initiative to provide a much larger number of Filipinos the opportunity to try out and experience the Internet, enjoy its benefits and, as we at Smart like to say, live more,” said Manuel V. Pangilinan, chairman of Smart and its parent company PLDT.
“This special offer is specifically designed to assist our prepaid subscribers who make up the bulk of our population. Many of them already have the mobile devices capable of accessing the internet but have yet to use them to go online. In this way, Smart can effectively promote digital inclusion and spread the benefits of the Internet in the fastest and most effective way possible,” he added.
Unrivaled network
Smart’s free mobile Internet offer follows the telco leader’s recent announcement that it has stepped up the deployment of its mobile internet network, to meet the growing demand for mobile data services.
Smart recently reported a 73% hike in mobile data traffic, as smartphone prices continue to fall and innovative services like SmartNet and PisoNet allow more and more Filipinos to gain access to the Internet via their mobile phones.

Moreover, we continue to expand the reach of our network so that we can bring the internet to more communities all over the country,” said Napoleon L. Nazareno, president and CEO of Smart and PLDT.

It has also the most extensive international cable systems needed to connect the Philippines to the rest of the world.
Internet for All
“This special offer is in line with our advocacy of ‘Internet for All’,” said Orlando B. Vea, Smart’s chief wireless advisor.
“It complements the affordable mobile Internet packages that Smart has been introducing over the past year. Among the latest of such innovations are PowerApp and the PisoNet service which provides 10 minutes of mobile internet access for one peso,” he explained.
To avail of the free mobile internet offer, Smart, Talk N Text and Sun Cellular subscribers must have an available airtime balance of at least one peso, or is subscribed to any load bucket or promo. They must register each day, by simply sending “FREE” to the number “9999.”

The Trial Full Trailer
Starring Gretchen Barretto, Jesy Mendiola, Richard Gomez, and John Lloyd Cruz, directed by Chito Rono. The Trial is set to premier this October 15, 2014.
P.S
I think this is the most sensitive movie of Star Cinema in the past years as this tackles a familiar case of Rape that was done by a Special Child, I remember seeing one episode of "Ipaglaban Mo" with the same topic, also this is a returning role of Richard Gomez as a lawyer since his show before "Your Honor".

Nokia Lumia 730, 735, & 830: New Breed
Nokia has finally released the 3rd generation of Lumia devices under Microsoft Mobile. This is the first major event of Microsoft Mobile ever since they took over Nokia mobile arm last April. Microsoft Mobile released the Nokia Lumia 730, 735, and 830 that brings the best camera and flagship features at an affordable price.
Nokia Lumia 730 &
735
The Nokia Lumia 730 & 735 offers almost the same specs, like both smart phones features a big 4.7 inches AMOLED touch screen that supports 720p resolution with clearblack display that is protected by a corning gorilla glass 3. Both devices comes with 8GB internal memory that is expandable up to 128GB via MicroSD card slot, it also have a 1GB of RAM. It runs on the latest Windows Phone 8.1 software, on the hardware side it runs on a 1.2 Ghz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Processor.
The main feature of the Lumia 730 & 735 is the camera,
specially the front facing one, as it features a massive 5 megapixel shooter with
wide angle view feature for ultimate selfie and groupie experience without any
cropped moments. The rear camera retains
the 6.7 megapixel carl zeiss optics camera with a 1/3.4 sensor size and an LED
Flash that the Lumia 720 also has. The camera on the nokia Lumia 730 & 735
doesn’t support Pureview Technology, but knowing Nokia that 6.7 MP camera plus
the sensors with it the image quality will be above average specially when it
comes to lowlight.
The Nokia Lumia 730
& 735 comes in Orange, White, Black, and Green, both device offers the same
2200 Mah Battery. Here are the main differences of the two devices, the Lumia
730 offers a Dual Micro Sim function, while the Lumia 735 offers a Single Nano
Sim with 4G/LTE Capability plus it has a Wireless Charging capability that the
730 doesn’t have but I think you can buy a wireless charging shell for it.
Nokia Lumia 830
The Lumia 830 is Nokia/ Microsoft mobile’s latest flagship
device on the midrange category that features a 5 inch IPS LCD touchscreen with
clear black display technology, with corning gorilla glass 3.
The Lumia 830 offers a 16GB of Internal Memory that is also
expandable via MicroSD card, It features 1GB of RAM and it runs on the latest
Windows Phone 8.1 software, on the hardware side it runs on a 1.2Ghz quad core
cortex A7 Qualcomm Snapsdragon Processor.
The design of the camera of the Lumia 830 resembles a
smaller camera of the Lumia 1020, although they look alike the Lumia 830 only
support a 10 Megapixel Carl Zeiss Optic camera with Pureview technology. The
front camera of the Lumia 830 is a bit low at 0.9 megapixel compared to the
massive 5 megapixel front camera of the Lumia 730 and 735.
The Lumia 830 supports wireless charging and comes with a
2200 mAh Battery, it also come in Orange, Black, White and Green Colors.
The Nokia Lumia 830, 735, 730 are expected to be launch by
October here in the Philippines , prices may range from 13k for the 730, 15k
for the 735 and 18k for the 830, this is just a guestimate so the prices I
placed are just could be value of the phone when it comes out.
