One of the benefits of going prepaid is its flexibility. You’re not tied up to a monthly service fee and you can subscribe to budget-friendly promos any time you want. Now what I want with having a postpaid plan is I don’t have to worry about checking my balance every once in a while in case I run out of load when I need it. Or having to change numbers if I lose my SIM.
Now what if you can have the best of both worlds? Well you can with Smart’s newest plan, the Freedom Plan which gives you the prepaid flexibility on a postpaid plan. You will only be billed by the amount you consume on a month, even 0 pesos. Perfect for those who travel a lot and don’t need to use Smart’s service when abroad, or those who are simply in a budget. Or those who don’t want to scratch peel-off cards anymore.
Smart is targeting the Freedom Plan to college students and employees that they made the requirements very easy. All you need is a valid school ID (even if you’ve already graduated) or a company ID. No need for payslips and proof of billings. In fact, you can start building your credit history with the Freedom Plan.
Your credit on the Freedom Plan is initially capped at Php600 per month. If you used up Php600 worth of services before the month’s end, you need to pay first before you can start using your number again. Don’t worry, you will be prompted with a text message once you reach the Php300 mark so you can budget accordingly. You can also request to increase your Freedom Plan’s credit if you’ve been a good, paying customer, or upgrade to a full-blown postpaid plan altogether provided you can prove your financial capability.
Initially, there are 15 pricing buckets you can use on the Freedom Plan, with more coming by October (looking for the ALWAYS ON).
