Sun Postpaid Promo - January 2013

Sun Cellular really made an impact on most Filipinos when they introduced the country's first Unlimited Call & Text Service. They also made an impact on their competitors when a late-comer in the mobile network industry is the first one to have 1,000,000 subscribers. Thanks to its great line-up of phones and affordable services.

If you are planning to switch or getting your first postpaid plan, why won't you consider getting Sun? Here's their latest offers for you!

Plan 600: Sun Droid Rush (Alcatel T10 ICS Tablet and Glory X918N)

 Plan 999: Sun Droid Rush (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 WiFi & Galaxy Y)

Blackberry Plans (Plan 600, Plan 999, Plan 1699)

Plan 1699 (Plan 1500 + 199 add-on)

THE CATCH: Lock-in period of 18 months (1 1/2 years)

I saw this ad from Sun's website last week, though no details were posted aside from the photo above.

Sun Blackberry Package P999

The Complete BlackBerry Package is now available only from Sun! With just P999/mo, get a BlackBerry Curve 8520, BlackBerry Service, Unlimited Mobile Internet and Call and Text Unlimited (Sun-to-Sun). Visit The Sun Shop now or call 200 for more details.


HOLDING PERIOD: 30 months


This plan is similar to Sun's Call&Surf Plan 999, but only applicable for Blackberry users. I believe this is one of RIM's plan to penetrate further in the Asian or Philippine market.

Get a FREE Android phone with your Citibank credit card

Get the LG Optimus ME for FREE with your newly approved Citibank credit card.

THE CATCH: The phone is under Sun Plan 350 (instead of Plan 600) and is on a 30-month lock-in period, and it should be enrolled on Citi's auto-credit.

If you're going to ask me, Plan 350 is not enough because you can't get the full potential of the phone without a mobile internet plan.

Finally, Sun 3G...

Yes, Sun Cellular is now a 3G and 3.5G (HSDPA) network. Though is not yet official, Sun cellular subscribers continue to see a 3G icon on their 3G phones. We all know that NTC granted Sun to operate 3G since December 2005, and they have until June 2008 to commercially release it to the public. A month ago, I read that Sun is going to have a “soft launch” of its 3G network by December; I thought it wasn’t true until I saw a 3G icon under my network bars. I quickly tested some features of 3G and here are my observations:

• Under the 3G network, you can still send and receive SMS and MMS.

• Check your balance.

• Sending MMS is faster. (100kb MMS, 20s to send)

• Can still use GPRS/EDGE.

• Browsing WAP sites through your phone is faster

• You will not be able to make/receive a voice calls.

• Video calling is not yet supported by the network.

I’ve been roaming a lot lately, so I took a chance to check the 3G serviceable areas of Sun. I locked my network settings to UMTS only. This is to be sure I’m getting 3G signals only. So here’s my list:

• LRT2, Santolan station

• LRT2, Gilmore station

• LRT2, Anonas station

• New Manila, Q.C.

• Araneta Center, Cubao

• Murphy, Cubao

• Camp Crame, Q.C.

• West Crame, San Juan

• Greenhills, San Juan

• Edsa Cubao ‘til Makati

I also found out that there are some areas that have 3G but prepaid SIMs can’t register properly. I assume that’s because the area is within the 5km radius of Digitel’s / Sun Cellular’s base station located at Bagumbayan, C5 (beside Shopwise Libis). Affected areas are:

• Eastwood City

• Ortigas Center

• Valle Verde

• Acropolis

• Green Meadows

• Ugong Norte, Q.C.

• Bagumbayan, Q.C.

• Manggahan, Pasig

• Santolan, Pasig (some parts)

• Rosario, Pasig

Let’s just hope Sun will launch its 3G service sooner than expected and hope that2008 will be a great year for Sun and its current subscribers. Keep posted for updates, screenshots and photos.
