Smart Communications will start offering today their unlimited calling promo called SmarTalk. All SMART Buddy (prepaid) and SMART Gold (postpaid) subscribers will be able to enjoy 24 hours of non-stop calling (to those within the smart network only).
This is our way of helping out our subscribers in these difficult times and is our response to the government’s call for more affordable telecommunications services – Orlando B. Vea, Chief Wireless Advisor of SMART
So how do you use this unlimited call promo?
SMART subscribers will be able to avail of the service by purchasing loads for unlimited calls
- The first is Smartalk 100 which offers 5 days of unlimited calls to any subscriber on the SMART network anywhere in the country, at any time of the day – for only P100
- Then there’s Smartalk 500 which offers 30 days of unlimited calls to any subscriber on the SMART network for only P500.
How to subscribe:
- Prepaid users needs to load or have existing load of P101.00 or P501.00 depending on which one you would like to avail. However, postpaid subscribers will be charged on top of their monthly bill (or monthly service fee).
- Or, Postpaid and prepaid users can buy a Smartalk card at local retailers.
Then…
Send Talk100 or Talk500 to 6400.
How to make unlimited calls
When making a call using the Smartalk unlimited package, SMART Buddy subscribers just need to dial *6400 plus the 11-digit subscriber number being called, eg., *640009181234567.
Smart did not specify if the same procedure will be done for postpaid users.
This promo is valid until September 30, 2009.

This is good news to all mobile phone users using the SMART network. Being able to call anytime you want as long as you want is a great relief to the consumers.
It is also timely that Smart launched this promo now that the telecom companies are under fire at the Philippine Senate for abuse (like over pricing of some sort).
SUN Cellular has been doing this type of service for years now and the problem with this is that the quality of the service suffers. Network congestion is imminent. I hope Smart can ensure that the there will be no delays in sending and receiving messages and no cut calls.
But wait, who will benefit from this promo? I think businesses and individuals who constantly needs to talk to their clients or customers. Normal or regular mobile phone users would mostly subscribe to the Smartalk 100 service for 5 days of unlimited calling but i’m sure that its not like unlimited texting where they will subscribe again and at once after the srvice expires.
What will be the answer of other Telcos with this new unlimited call promo from Smart?
i definitely agree to Mr. Jojo Torres..
He said..
Dont ever avail of the SMART Unlimited call promo.
You will just waste your money.
You will pay 500 pesos for a month of limited use of a supposedly unlimited call.
The network will just fool you around like Sun Cellular.
When you register in their unlimited call … for prepaid, you would input *6400 before the smart number … if you use this feature, it will be very difficult to have a connection. It would say that the network is busy or it would just not connect. You could try for 5 times or more but it would not just connect. If you don’t use the *6400 and just dial directly the smart number, it will connect more easily but you will be charged by the minute again instead of the unlimited smart to smart calls.
It is not smart to use the smart unlimited call. It is such a waste of money.
This should also be investigated by the Senate. A lot of people will be fooled and waste their money if they would discover the poor service once already enrolled and paid for the service.
A lot of people could have availed of the service making their network congested. But why offer the promo when the network could not handle a bulk of consumers?
If they offered the promo to the public, only a limited number of consumers should have been allowed to avail the promo that could not compromise their service.
A one day availment of the promo should have been offered to see if the service is ok so that once they know that the service is not good, they will not continue availing the product. It is a waste of money availing a 5 day promo and paying it only to discover during the first day that the service is not good and could not refund what you have paid for the next few days that was not yet used. Worse for those who availed and registered for the 30 days and paid 500 pesos already.
TAMA NA ANG PANLOLOKO SA TAO!
ALAM NAMAN NILA NA MANGYAYARI ETO. ALAM NILA NA ANG KANILANG NETWORK AY HINDI CAPABLE NG BULK CALLS NGUNIT IBINENTA PA RIN NILA SA MGA TAO!
Dapat sa mga ito ikulong dahilan sa panloloko!
—Jojo Torres
nakakainis!!!!!!!SANA HINDI NA LANG AKO NAGPAREGISTER SA PROMO NA TO! PALAGI NA LANG “ALL LINES ARE BUSY NOW,PLS TRY YOUR CALL LATER! SAYANG LANG ANG 500 KO! WALANG KWENTA ANG PROMO NA TO…!
smart walang kwenta, di ako makapagregister ng unli call.. kainis.. 4 days na akong nagreregister din pa rin makapasok.. ahoi, baguhin nyo na sistema nyo, ampangit.. di kayo nagkakalayo sa gobyerno..bulok!!
I’ve been with Smart for almost 8 years and 2 years with SUN but all i can say is, don’t try the smart unli call. Thier service is not good. If you want unli call and text go for the SUN. They have a great service than any network.
Best pa rin and SUN sa lahat although i still have my smart.
walang kwenta talaga ang smart ibasura na ninyo ang sim na smarat mag sucellular na kayo
amfufu naman., nag-paload pa mandin ako ng 130 tapos sobrang hirap mag-register hayz!, lagi nalang sorry request cannot be processed.. waaahh bakit lagi nalang ganun., tapos kapag nakapag-register rin aside from mahirap maka-connect lagi xang na-cucut every 10mins.. hay naku! yoko na…
mas maganda talaga globe sa smart….
hmm.. dpat wla ng additional numbers lyk “+6400″ to mke free col.. pra mas convenient.. and it shud be one week pra maximize.
bakit smart buddy lang pede mag smart talk,,panu nman kaming mag talk n text subscriber,,,unfair namn smart din namn kami…huhh
meron pa bang unli call 100 ngaun? sa smart d ba valid lang ung promi hanggang september??
To all concerned pinoys,
Smart Talk is FRAUD!
WHY? They said its unlimited but yet IT IS NOT!
Smart Talk cuts every 8 minutes while Smart Talk Plus cuts every 10 minutes (10pm – 5pm).
NOT ONLY THAT! BEWARE! Smart will BAN your SIM card if you called more that 75 different smart or Talk ‘N Text number on the days of availing this promo.
Try it for your self and you’ll see!
i registered sa smart talk 100 pero ito ang twist every 5 pm hndi ko na xa magamit…
i tried to call custome service pero wala naman na ngyari… hndi nman supposed to be ganito ang ngyyri sa unlicall because i have availed of it matagal na at hindi nman ganito kawalang kwenta un…
ang sakit sa ulo ng smart…

gani2…
kelangan mgamit mo ung unli call from 6 to 4:59 para mgamit mo xa from 5 onwards…
sleeky move smart pero puro pangloloko na lng gngwa nyo!
Follow up for SMART TALK 100 & PLUS 100:
Now this promos cuts every 5 minutes. Parang Payphone na! hehe.
I’m always unto this promo ever since it was started last June 2009. Now it’s been extended til April 2010. SMART pushed me to switch to a different provider after I found out about this.
I wonder how many Million customers ANG GINAGAGO NILA!
Well, Di na nila ako mauuto BECAUSE TINAPON KO NA SMART SIMS KO SA BASURAHAN!
For the sake of their subscribers except me
, NTC shud really do something about this NOT ON PER PULSE CHARGING NA WALANG KWENTA.
SUN Unlimited stays on top! Bravo!!! line will cut on 60 minutes so far so good!
GLOBE SUPERUNLI and TM ASTIGUNLI also rocks! line cuts every 30 minutes.
SMART PLUS 100 and SMART TALK 100 is SUCKS! So hard to connect and line cuts every 5 minutes. Very Worst!
hmmm… I’m a smart user since I began using the cellphone technology. It’s good that Smart offers this kind of promo. My only problem is, it’s hard to get a connection when I’m calling.
I wish SUN would soon put their cellsite here in Northern Palawan, specifically El Nido.
Grabe nman 2ng unlicall ng smart….
still limited kc u cant make a call evrytym u want it….
network busy!!!!
syang 1 month ko….
—- I’ll be a sun user nxt month… promise^^
I hate this unlicall..

i’ve registered 4 1 month..
sayang…….. GRRRRRRR…
I’ll nver use smart nxt month.. I swear
smart talk100 sucks..
It’s not smart 2 use smart these days…
i hate smart!!! Its very hard to make a call,. I wanted to switch to an0ther netw0rk but my b0yfriend had a very weak signal if we are using 0ther netw0rk. Yes, smart has the widest range of c0verage c0mpared to other netw0rks but h0wc0me that they can’t impr0ve these SMARTTALK PR0M0,. Its a waste of m0ney f0r us! SMART y0u stinks!!!
I HAVE YOU SMART UNLI CALL SERVICE!
YOU SUCK AND YOUR SERVICE BLOWS! GO GET A LIFE YOU MONEY GRABBING HYPOCRITES!!!!!
FUCK YOU!!! FUCK YOU!!! FUCK YOU!!! FUCK YOU SMART!!! you’re lucky that my friends and family mostly use smart. but what you’re doing is primarily squeezing every peso that you subscribers have. Why is that everyday this is what happens. at exactly 5pm to 10pm I can’t make any call. It would be understandable if it was around 5pm and I can make a call at least 2-3 times in that 5 hour gap. very suspicious if you ask me. And what you put in the about us in your fucking not much of a help website about the top people of your company… the only reason they got so stinking rich is because they know how to take advantage of the masses.
FOrgive my potty mouth… I’m just irritated. think about it though. If you’re in Cebu, why is it so God Damn Difficult or nearly impossible to make a call at exactly 5:00pm until 10:00pm exactly. C’mon, doesn’t that strike you the least bit suspicious. I’ve been observing this ever since mid February. Even at peak hours, Even sun cellular can make calls, and Just why the hell Smart can’t even do this? C’mon? ALL THE TOP PEOPLE IN SMART ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKTARDS THAT SQUEEZE EVERY BIT OF PESO THEY CAN OUT OF THEIR LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS?
just to make things clear… when I mean top people of smart I mean the ones handling the company
TRY TO CALL SMART *888 and report the 5 minutes cut off… they have told me after 24 hours their service will be ok….
KELANGAN PA MAG REKLAMO BAGO NILA AYUSIN AMF!!
SMART, BILANG NA ARAW NYO, SA JUNE 30, MAYROON NA PAGBABAGO. KAYA, BRACE YOURSELVES…. P-NOY IS COMING FOR CORRUPT COMPANY LIKE SMART COMMUNICATION…..

Good News, Smart has a nationwide coverage
Details basis is updated early May 2010
posting this message is July 28, 2010
***********************************
Note: i don’t think, that Smart is eligible for the deductions of LOAD, i am a Smart employee, and they also deduct in my load like 30, 15, 100, even 200.
Example number: 236, 4712, 2366
Smart just offers Downloads, ringtones, Wallpapers etc. if you reply one of those offers, automatically the enlisted partners of Smart will register you to per month basis promo of downloads and stuffs, so when you load your account it will automatically deducts. So please read carefully. Some Filipino’s are born to be Smart but dumber all the time.
It is easy to Cancel those subscriptions:
Type in: OFF send to the number that u subscribed at.
example: the download sender is 236. OFF send to 236. System generated message will deliver shortly.
Tips and Hints to avoid network busy,
if your phone has 3G function, (Mine is iPhone3G)
set manual connection, and also to those obsolete phones(mine is n95)
their service is good. i am from nowhere, no permanent address and works by phone i totally enjoyed the Smart Talk promo. If you’re experiencing network busy always, call their hotline and *888 and state your problem.
to those who’s not contented, and keeping trash talking, what i mean trash-commenting, you better switch to other network, i do believed that Smart has lower radiation to other networks. Thats why their leading the telecom industry
pasalamat nga kayo, 5 minutes lang ang cut off,
hint: once you felt irritable, means the radiation from your body is getting worse.

ok na sana ngayon ang pagregister.. the problem with it now is, palaging network busy or if not connection error o hindi kaya disconnected.. TO THE MANAGEMENT OF SMART TELECOMS: NEVER CONDUCT A PROMO IF YOU KNEW THAT YOU CANNOT SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS TO THEIR SATISFACTION. DON’T YOU THINK YOU’RE BEING UNFAIR AAND OF COURSE A LIAR. the promo clearly stated that we customers can make calls (if registered ofcourse) anytime of the day. now what’s happening? we cannot connect that easily to your server/connection/network whatever you call it. PLEASE STOP FOOLING PEOPLE CAUSE WE AIN’T FOOL,. siyempre ang lakas ng loob niong magstate ng ganun-kaganda-pero-di-nmn-pala-totoong promo kasi kayo nangungunang network, di kayo lugi eh diba?. sna maisip niyo bgo kayo matulog kung saan n lng kayo mapupunta kapag namatay kayo.. you knew LYING is def. a sin.. duh!?
dito pala sa self-proclaimed engineer ng smart– kuya, nakatira ka ba?.. kase ang lakas ng loob mong sbihin n engineer ka ng smart tas ung mga tao pa pagsasabihan mo n may kasalanan! EH MALAY BA NILANG PEKE YON!? ikaw ha? ang angas mo pti ung s globe n engineer may nasasabi ka pa.. Wait nga, Teka, Engineer ka ba tlga? o isang frustrated enggineering student na nangangarap!? hahaha! kahiya ka! eeeww
and 1 more thing.. why would they automatically register the nos. where in fact we didn’t even subscribe to it!? and i believe they should’ve asked first right!? is that a filipino trait na gumawa ng walng paalm s may ari that you’re showing off??huh!? SMART TELECOM!
SMARTUNLICALL IS A BIG FAT LIE!
(mr i am contented Says) engineer k kamo ng smart? ibig b sabihin pag d maka connect sa unlicall at lagi network busy peke ang sim, ngayon ko lang narinig n may peke pala sim, pano b malalaman n peke ang sim? pero ang sim ko nabile ko sa authorized smart store, pano naging peke smart sim ko? eh ganon din ang ng yyari sa akin always busy saka disconnected palagi.
