PLDT WeRoam got cheaper?

Not sure about the timing but it seems that PLDT slashed a few hundred pesos off their WeRoam prepaid and post-paid subscription fees around the time Globe Innove commercially launched its competing product, Globe Visibility.

Just take a look at PLDT WeRoam’s current pricing scheme:

WeRoam Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet(via AirborneAccess up to 2Mbps)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet (up to 140kbps)
Application Fee: Php 2,500
Monthly Recurring Fee: Php 1,200
Free Use of Mobile Data Card

WeRoam PLUS Internet
Unlimited WiFi Internet(via AirborneAccess up to 2Mbps)
Unlimited 3G/HSDPA Internet (up to 1.8Mbps)
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE Internet (up to 140Kbps)
Application Fee: Php 2,500
Monthly Recurring Fee: Php 1,700
Free Use of Mobile Data Card

Prepaid Subscriptions
Php 10,860 : Mobile Data Card + 3 months subscription
Php 14,220 : Mobile Data Card + 6 months subscription
Php 20,940 : Mobile Data Card + 12 months subscription

Once your subscription expires, you can buy prepaid e-loads via your Smart Mobile Phones:

Using a SMART phone with an active SMART Money account, text : , and send to 270.

* Example:<1day><0918918xxxx>

Reload rates ran from Php75 per day, Php405 per week or Php1,120 for 30 days.

Let’s see how Globe will respond to these price cuts. First, I gotta talk to them and get me a trial account. :D

Smart have better 3G signal than globe. you may want to test HSDPA not only in metro manila but also in key cities of the country. try globe outside ortigas, makati and edsa if hsdpa works, then try weroam….

I’ve been using pldt we roam. Your speed depends on the availability of 3G connection in your area. If 3g is available then you will get an HSDPA signal. I live in Mandaluyong, I only get 3 bars of HSDPA signal.

Yeah, boohoo for the weroam! I am currently using it typing my entry here while opening some video hosting sites. The fastest I get before 12 am is around 60kbps at 77% signal(or 3 bars of 5). Just a teeny bit faster than dial-up at way-up costs! Doing the math, 100% signal won’t even reach the 1.8 Mbps promised speed.
