Smart offers new promo for prepaid subscribers

PREPAID subscribers of telco Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) now have an affordable, all-in-one load bundle which allows them to use text messaging to post updates on and receive alerts from popular social networks Facebook, Friendster and Twitter.

“Mobile subscribers these days no longer just call or text to keep in touch with their friends and family or to share news—they update their status, write on ‘walls’ and ‘tweet’, too. Most would wish that they could do this on-the-go, on their cell phone, just like texting. Ideally, it could also work on any phone, even the older handsets, and it wouldn’t cost too much on top of the staple call and text package. The Smart Buddy AllTxt Combo Plus makes all this possible,” said Danilo Mojica, head of Smart wireless consumer division.
