Today, Smart Communications Inc. has formally announced their exclusive partnership with Deezer; a web-based music streaming service which originated from Paris, France.

Smart and Deezer entered a “strategic and exclusive partnership” agreement which both companies signed back in the latter part of March. According to the official press release, Smart will benefit from Deezer’s expansive music catalogue which will then solidify their place as a “formidable player in the entire mobile ecosystem.”

  1. what happened to spinnr?

  2. Matagal nang bundled ang deezer sa alcatel phones. Maayos ang streaming at may free mp3s pa.

    Ngayong may tie-up na sila sa Smart sa grooveshark na lang ako.

  3. Wrong timing, kakakuha ko lang ng N1020 7/4.

  4. Too expensive!! I use spinnr and glad that i only pay P1 a day when i subscribe 7,15,30 day plans

    And then I realize they haven’t been updating the songs recently!!! Now i know why…

  5. can you compare to globe’s spotify? thanks

  6. can you make a comparison to globe’s spotify? thanks

    • thanks for your replies, ill stick with spotify. sana ma improve pa nila ang connection ng globe, yung lang ang limiting factor ng spotify

  7. Spotify has more curated playlists than Deezer. They don’t differ that much on song selection. I just hope Smart can still provide high-quality streaming without buffering once your speeds get throttled.

  8. 100 mb for one month? Saka 250 sms? Bakit naman ganyan package nila. Parang hindi naman swak para sa service.

    Sana discount na lang from the regular 250 to let’s say 129 (ahem spotify ahem)

  9. ———
    DATA:
    ———
    SPOTIFY
    99 WEEKLY / 500 MB
    Around 20M songs

    DEEZER
    125 WEEKLY / 50 MB
    Around 30M songs

    —–
    PHP PER MB
    —–
    SPOTIFY: .25 PHP/MB
    DEEZER: 2.5 PHP/MB

    CONCLUSION:
    Deezer is 10 times more expensive on a weekly basis.

  10. the diff is that in Globe Spotify Premium subscription you can play all your playlist even with-out internet or wifi connection.

  11. does deezer have the capabiltiy to make the songs available offline like spotify?

    • it does but you need to have the premium :)

  12. just tried Deezer on windows phone with globe. aus lng nmn. ala nga lng premium haha.

    • premium+ na pala for 15 days nga lng xD

  13. Comparison of monthly plans:

    Deezer Premium
    – P250.00
    – 100MB Deezer data allocation
    – 250 SMS

    Spotify Premium (via GoSurf 299)
    – P299.00
    – 700MB data allocation
    – 1GB Spotify data allocation
    – 0 SMS

    Spotify Premium
    – P129.00
    – Stand-alone premium access

    The GoSurf 299 offer is bang for the buck, especially if you’re on prepaid/do not have a data plan. The Spotify Premium (P129.00) would be the best offer if you have an unlimited data plan, or if you’re on Smart.
