PLDT Call All extends Wireless Landline

Last Tuesday, PLDT also launched their PLDT Call All bundle — a wireless landline extension where subscribers can call anywhere in the Philippines. This promo is available to existing PLDT residential landline subscribers for an additional fixed monthly charge of Php250.

The bundle adds a PLDT Landline Plus (PLP) SIM card which can be used with any openline handset and serves as an extension of the fixed landline. What makes the PLDT Call All promo more expansive is that the mobile phone with the PLP SIM-card can be taken anywhere in the Philippines and still be able to call any landline number in its local area.

So if you have a fixed landline in Metro Manila (02), you can apply for an extension Call All SIM and carry it around in your mobile phone as a wireless landline. You can bring the mobile phone to Zamboanga or Iloilo and still be able to call any number in Metro Manila for free (and at the same time, be able to receive calls from landline with area code 02).

Globe launched their Duo service last month for an additional Php399/month but only allows for mobile calls as long as the phone is within the Metro Manila area. In essence, the PLDT Call All has much wider coverage.

However, Digitel complained to the NTC that the PLDT Call All promo violates the rules on interconnection of local exchange carriers (LECs). That means, if you make wireless landline calls outside of the local area your number is assigned, that is already an NDD and is subject to toll charges.

This could mean PLDT might be forced by the NTC to retract this service or restrict it to its local calling area (similar to Globe Duo). This rule is being enforced so that it will not compete with existing cellular service.

  1. baduy. better nlng n babaan nla ung presyo ng internet nla or itaas ung bandwidth.

  2. paano yung nag apply na ng pldt land line plus na 360…

  3. ooo nice, now i can extend my landline without having to change numbers?

  4. Wonder how the Digitel complaint would turn out?

  5. Classic example of PLDT ng wait and see. Inilagay nila kay NTC ang blame kase na-approved daw ng NTC. Precedent yan for Globe and Digitel, na meron din landline service.. kung hindi aalisin ng NTC yan.. for sure mag-launch din yung 2 ng similar service.

    Medyo yung marketing ng PLDT Call All deceiving.. base lang sa TV ads, ang pagkakaintindi ko.. I can call anywhere.. to any landline number toll FREE. Kaya nga CALL ALL..

    Kahit naman ngayun.. anyone can CALL ALL di ba.. may bayad nga lang.. eh kung ganun din naman pala, medyo sablay yung advertisement.

  6. Me kulang sa report. Promo available lang yan from May 24 to Aug 1, 2009 lang yan. Aftere Aug 1, madedefault ang Wireless Landline sa 360… PLDT pa, e magulang pa sa magnanakaw yan ha3

  7. oo nga, di ako naniniwala sa gimick na ito, trick lang ito para bumili ng mga sim ang tao, once over the yung promo dusa ka na ulit, and you are stuck with a sim na mapipilitan ka na gamitin.
    pldt is magulang talaga, gaya ng pre paid na land line nila, sapilitan tinanggal nang nalaman nila dami nakakatipid dun.

  8. Globe, PLDT and Digitel are all the same. Instead of investing first on making their current equipments to handle the demand, benta sila ng benta ng bagong produkto.

    dapat sana, ayusin muna nila ang bulok na at mabagal na internet infrastructure nila pati nadin ang kanilang, always busy na phone services.

    also, tama nga naman si Digitel dun sa complaint nya pero bakit ba lagi na lang pinipigilan ng mga corporation ito na maging libre ang connection ng bawat pilipino?

  9. PLDT CALL ALL is only application to ALL PLDT SUBSCRIBER na walang na avail na promo nila. KAtulad ng MYDSL PLAN 999. kasi ako yung dsl ko sa PLAN 999 and i called 171 to asked if pwede ako mag avail ng CALL ALL PROMO nila pero sabi ng CUSTOMER REP. di na pwede kasi merun pa kaming ON GOING CONTRACT SA PROMO NILA W/C IS THE DSL PLAN 999.
    Sa madaling salita kapag PLDT SUBSCRIBer ka dapat isang promo lang ang pwede mo ma avail.. yun na.. :(

  10. to Wha: I think even if you have an on-going contract with pldt re: dsl plan 999, you can still avail of their call all promo, what i understand is that the new lock-in period for the call all promo will supersede your existing lock-in period for dsl 999.
