Pre-orders for SGS4 from Smart to start tomorrow

Smart Communications Philippines announced that they’ll start taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S4 beginning tomorrow, April 27. The flagship handset will typically be offered under Smart’s UnliData Plan 2000 with a 30-month lock-in period, but early adopters can get it for less.

Subscribers who will apply and be approved from tomorrow until May 2 can choose to get a free SGS4 under UnliData Plan 1500 for the same duration (30-months). That’s Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62 off of your regular monthly payment. Of course, there’s a slight difference between the two plans in terms of the consumable services (Call and SMS limits).

Along with this announcement, Smart also shared their latest development in their effort to expand LTE coverage. According to Kathy Carag, Head of Smart Postpaid Business, the company currently has 1000 LTE-enabled sites which spread across 115 cities.

OT: It’s Davao City, not Davao del Sur. Davao City isn’t part of any province.

Hi! do you have any idea of which model of GS4 does Smart offers? will it be I9500 or I9505?
Also is this the link to apply for their Unli Data Plan 1500 offer? http://smart.com.ph/preorder/?pid=2.

Hi, As far as I know telcos will offer the Samsung Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 600 the quadcore 1.9Ghz variant but not the Octacore.

Octacore Exynos variant will be available via local and samsung stores though.

SMART Data Plan 1500 includes LTE connection only until June 30, 2013. Going forward, you have to pay more if you want your Samsung Galaxy S4 device to utilize its LTE functions. Else, settle for 3G connection.

for anybody with a limited budget, the only good the S4 will do is when it pushes down the cost of the s3

the s4 is a great phone but just too expensive for some people

I went to the Laoag Smart business center later today and inquired about the LTE pocket wifi and S4. The first CS officer was a bit surprised about their LTE service if it was really available. After awhile he asked the other CS officer and she told me that only one cell site is activated, the one near the business center. Their engineers will inform them daw once available and activated.

Talk about false advertising! tsk tsk tsk

yung plan 2000 ay di talaga unlimited lte…parehas lang ang plan 2000 at 1500 in terms of lte.. merong alloted na 1.5 gig a month na lte data.. after nun eh naka bill shock sya ng 1200 compare sa 999 sa normal broadband plan… so example yung 1.5 gig ng plan 1500 eh naubos nyu at inavail nyu yung anti bill shock..so 1500 + 1200, so 2700 babayaran mo, same sa plan 2000, 2000 + 1200, 3200 magiging bill nyu…. hays
