Question lang po,, kapag naabot na ung limit na Anti-Shock bill.. na 1,999 for plan 1499.. magiging unli po ba ung data? like their previous ipad plans which has an anti-billshock feature that when reached, you’ll get the unlimited data access?

In reply to Rouge. yung 18,500 na ipad mini na yan wifi lang ba or wifi + cellular? kasi sa apple store PH 20,490 ang wifi only 16GB.

Hi! Was thinking of getting this plan, pero ano po ba kasama na ipad mini retina 16GB.. yun wifi only or yun 4G?

I thought kase yun 4G, given na this will be with LTE allocated hours?

Just checking before heading to Smart store.

Mejo bad Pricing

Consider this:
Kimstore sell iPad Mini Retina 16GB for 18,500
Pay Smart 1,000 as Cashout

Lets say we’ll go Unlimited DATA for the entire 24month lockin period:
24x 1999 = 47,976 + 1,000 Cashout = 48,976 Total Cost for 2 YRS (DATA+iPAD)
48,976 – 18,500 (cost of ipad) = 30,476 Total Cost (Total cost of DATA)
which translates to = 1269.83 Pesos Cost of DATA per Month.

Normally you can get unliDATA for around 999 pesos with Globe with free LTE hotspot too.

In reply to Sai. Hi Sai, I think it's because these telco giants get (huge!) discounts when they get it from Apple because of bulk order.

In reply to Sai. I think the pricing also includes the LTE browsing also I found out that the ipad 32gb and 64gb has reduced from its original price

How come their prepaid pricing are way more expensive than those unlocked units sold at the local apple online store? I’m a bit confused.
