Poll: Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile Subscription?

prepaid because no need to worry about paying the bill every month. and im no heavy texter either!

Prepaid. I am a heavy texter so I register for unlitxt almost every day. most of my contacts are on globe anyway

for me i want a postpaid plan because the prepaid plan always to be erratic when you load a higher value you did not able to use it on its single centavo because the network make sucks on it.while on the postpaid you will be sure of usage of your billing.but for what people like to be on prepaid is because of the hassle free requirements than you go postaid.

Postpaid if I want to get a high-end phone for free. Otherwise, I go prepaid.

i have both. and from the same provider! (yeah, stupid, i know.)

i recently got my postpaid because i don’t want to be caught in an emergency and not be able to text anyone. yeah, i’m paranoid. :P but seriously, i just hate those situations where i NEED to text or call someone but can’t because i was out of load. besides, P300/month isn’t that bad, right?

but since i also text the gf a lot (esp. on weekends), that’s when i use my unlimited texting on prepaid. :) mas sulit.

Both have its pros and cons:

Pro-prepaid: manageable
Anti-prepaid: emergency no load…

Pro-postpaid: good for mission critical moments
Anti-postpaid: cant control costs

PostPaid

Been a postpaid subscriber of Globe for more than 8 years. Advantage for me is that there are no disappearing loads. Had enough of that on prepaid.

Prepaid,if you use smart phone you can text and surf for free!yahoo!

Kung may gugustuhin akong postpaid, that would be SUN. I am currently on postpaid SMART and such a horror. Buti na lang matatapos na contract ng postpaid ko with SMART this month and I will shift to postpaid SUN already. I am using prepaid Globe as a secondary line.

Sun ko is postpaid kasi I use it for heavy talking, even urging my family and friends to add a Sun line to their mobile arsenal. Saka sweet din yung deal na may libreng texts na yung line ko. Di ko nga nauubos every month. Saka mura kasi pantawag sa abroad ang Sun kung ilalaban ko sa ibang postpaid accounts.

Smart ko is prepaid para kontrolado ko yung 3G usage ko.

Globe, postpaid before then prepaid na ngayon. Bad trip kasi sa singilan ang Globe eh, ang daming charges na di ko ma-gets.

Go for Prepaid Meralco subscription!!! para lahat tipid!!

Prepaid. I’m using ubt/fbt, 24/7 free mobile internet.hehe

postpaid is better for emergency situation.

Prepaid. No need to go to payment centers for the bills. Easier to manage, too. Just have a ready load for emergency calls. For me, I see to it that I have at least 3-minutes worth of call credits at any given time. Load centers are close at hand anyway. I also subscribe to unlimited text. I am on Smart, and here in Mindanao they are offering a 1-day unlitxt for 10 pesos.

Prepaid all the way. The telcos don’t keep a record of prepaid users and I value my privacy hehehe!!!

postpaid. had my number since 1999 and i don’t want it changed anymore. initially, i was a heavy texter and i didn’t like to run out of load which was a big deal before there was pasaload or e-load. besides, i like the cellphone giveaways in those days. now i rarely text anymore (stopped forwarding non-sense messages, the social networking thing). And i just got the call-all pldt mobile landline which i now use in making calls. still postpaid but downgraded from plan 1200 to plan 500 recently.

post paid.. love the free phone

i prefer postpaid. the convenience of being connected 24/7 these days is re assuring. especially in my line of work where i usually go on call for emergency operations.

besides, one can be on prepaid for two years, but will never be given any loyalty reward. With a postpaid account, one can have a chance of owning a brand new phone after two years(in time when his current phone is already outdated) and/or get a monthly rebate from his phone bills. :-)

i have been on postpaid service for 3 years and am happy with it. my postpaid plan is just right for me. i have no complaints with my bills. :-)

Im on prepaid, though thinkin on subscribing for a postpaid one; hassle minsan pag kelangan tumawag, walang load :D

reply to peter> hey peter im very sorry if i make you mad about my grammar but that’s all i have and the only way thing i can deliver it, but what is important is the point is there and not too far on the topic.yes im not good with that but im trying making good it,and i think thats not too bad for for a low lever techies like me.

vote for prepaid.i hate bills

Prepaid!, i’m a postpaid subscribe for Smart almost nine years now. I rather choose Prepaid now because they have lot of promotions and other services for prepaid but with postpaid they only have the rebates but still its taxable.

postpaid – go with globe or sun. they’re good to their subscribers. don’t go with smart, their postpaid service is awful.

i’ve had globe for almost 3 years now, never had issues with billing or customer service. they go the extra mile.

with smart, you would have to be the one to have an extra mile of patience.

in my case, they endorsed my account to collections and decided to charge me the interest fee, collection fee, and reconnection fee (although they did not give me any notice at all and although i’ve paid like 98% of the bill – their fault anyway i paid only that much since that was what they told me to pay, they did not even mention anything about the extra charges). i’d like to vent some more but i’ll stop here.

suffice it to say, don’t go with smart if it is going to be postpaid.

prepaid, go with any provider.

i like postpaid better since in cases of emergency, you don’t have to look for a place to load up.

I use to have Smart (prepaid) as my mainline, but with Sun expanding coverage in our area and most of my friends have SUN.. eventually Sun (postpaid) became my mainline.

PREPAID. my Php 25.00 load hasn’t expired in weeks. before, it usually expires after 5 days. thnx to Sen. Enrile for that.
