Smart gives out free PlugIt to students

The Smart B Free event held today at the Mega-Tent, Meralco Avenue is an attempt to give-away 10 thousand free SmartBro PlugIt modems to students from UAAP and NCAA universities.

SmartBro USB modems are customized according to university logos (see sample above for Ateneo’s Blue Eagles). These are limited edition USB dongles that are only given away that day. These aren’t just stickers but printed into the plastic dongle itself.

All you needed to do is be at the venue and bring a school ID to get one for free. If you’re not qualified, you can still buy one for just Php895.

There were lots of giveaways, food, drinks, t-shirts and bands. However, the mega-tent seemed a bit empty around noon when I got there. Looks like they weren’t able to reach their target number of 10,000.

There were also promos for SmartBro ShareIt — get a Pentium 4 PC set for only Php4,000 when you subscribe for 24 months.

  1. This is another nice marketing of Smart Bro as competition gets intense with rival Globe and Sun.

  2. Watch out students! Major disappointment and (possibly) frustration coming up.

  3. you can use it as a keychain…

    atleast it have a purpose…

    LOL….

  4. maybe the problem was that it was not advertised well. i actually want to get one, but the problem was that when i saw this in the papers, it was already 6PM, and plans were up ahead. hopefully they’ll put up another one. :D

  5. “Pentium 4 PC set for only Php4,000 when you subscribe for 24 months.”

    P4? i thought that’s already phased out. not even available to be bought bnew. so are these refurbished units?

  6. @ron, just opened the package. It’s actually an Intel Dual Core E2200.

  7. sayang, hindi ko alam ‘to.

  8. I was near by the other day sayang didnt heard of this!!!

  9. abe marami pa lang sobra dapat kinuhaan mo na rin ako. :)

  10. Wow…what a way to bring more people to an already overstrained and clogged up network. More negative complaints for smart i’m sure!
