Since late January, I have been retailing load (cell phone credits). I started with GLOBE, but due to persistent customer demand I expanded to include SMART. I have no plans of including SUN Cellular. My time is already pretty much used up with those 2 networks.
GLOBE loading is straightforward. I just load input the customer’s number, and then select the required denomination. SMART, in contrast, is way more complicated. The sheer number of their promos confuse even the most loyal of their subscribers. I’m thinking even their employees don’t know about those promos. Their website doesn’t even give a comprehensive list of those promos. Btw, I give my SMART customers the load they request, but it beats me what more than half of those promos do.
So in the interest of myself and my SMART customers, here is a list of their promos:
E-load – Ordinary load. How I wish SMART did not add those other promos.
| Denomination | Validity |
|---|---|
| 15 | 1 day |
| 30 | 3 days |
| 50 | 5 days |
| 60 | 6 days |
| 100 | 10 days |
| 115 | 12 days |
| 200 | 30 days |
| 300 | 60 days |
| 500 | 60 days |
| 1000 | 60 days |
All Text – A majority of my customers ask me for AllTxt 20. There are a host of other promos under this category, but they are mostly ignored.
| Denomination | Description | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| AllTxt 10 | 5 Smart to Smart/TNT, 10 texts to all networks |
1 day |
| AllTxt 20 | 100 Smart to Smart/TNT, 10 texts to all networks |
1 day |
| AT+Call 25 | 100 texts Smart to Smart/TNT, 10 texts to other networks Unlimited Call from 11pm-6am |
2 days |
| AllTxt 30 | 180 texts to Smart/TNT, 10 texts to other networks |
2 days |
| AllTxt 40 | 200 Smart to Smart/TNT, 20 texts to all networks |
2 days |
| AllTxt 50 | 300 Smart to Smart/TNT, 30 texts to all networks |
3 days |
| Lahatxt 20 | 50 texts to all networks | 1 day |
| Lahatxt 35 | 100 texts to all networks | 1 day |
TNT Gaantxt – I only have 1 customer who regularly asks for this, and he does it only once every 2 weeks! There are 2 other infrequent customers who ask for this, but IMO, this promo should be scrapped. It’s not very cost-effective.
| Denomination | Description | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| Gaantxt 10 | 45 texts to TNT/Smart, 5 texts to other networks |
1 day |
| GaanTxt 20 | 95 texts to TNT/Smart, 10 texts to other networks |
2 days |
All Calls – I don’t remember having loaded a single customer for this one. I wonder how many SMART subscribers have used or even heard about this promo.
| Denomination | Description | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| All Calls 20 | 10 mins.Smart to Smart/TNT w/ Free 5texts to Smart/TNT To call:dial *909+Smart# |
1 day |
| All Calls 100 | 100mins.Smart to Smart/TNT w/ Free 30texts to Smart/TNT To call:dial *909+Smart# |
5 days |
Upsize – I only get requests for Upsize 35. The others have all been ignored.
| Denomination | Description | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| AT20 Upsize | 150 Smart to Smart/TNT, 10 texts to all networks |
1 day |
| Upsize 20 | No data | No data |
| Upsize 35 | P30 airtime, 30 txts to Smart/TNT |
1 day |
| Upsize 70 | No data | No data |
| Upsize 130 | No data | No data |
The sheer number of those promos, most of them useless, ultimately makes SMART simply amazing (sarcasm).

I am wondering, and I hvae complain these several times to smart call center agents and up to this time until I ended up here. This is reagrding your TALK100, you tell to your advertising that this is UNLIMITED CALLS, at the start of this TALK100 its really on a 24 hours call, then you cut this to 10 mins and then cut this to 5 mins, is this your difinition of UNLIMITED. Not only date, in the last 8 consecutive days your new services to the TALK100 subscriber is from 10 AM to 3pm no service at all and from 3:05 to 5pm it will resumes and from 5pm to 10pm you cut the services of TALK100. You have provided only 14 hrs service on your UNLIMITED CALLS. What hurts us is from 10am to 3pm is purely business hours and yet we cannot avail of the benefits which are promised to us thru ADVERTISING UNLIMITED CALLS OF TALK 100. Is this kind of services you are providing us. Your style is, at first you let us establish our connection by us inviting our friends and business associates to avail of this promo since it will be very economical to us. After we have convince them to avail of your promo now you are cutting your services and benefits you have promised us. This way of FOOLING THE PILIPINO NATION. Sa tagalog panloloko at ang gumagawa nito ay manloloko at ang ibig sabihin, kau ay MANLOLOKO. A group from pasig, pampanga bataan, cebu davao and zamboanga are now connecting to loud a textless day as an initial move against you. This will also be send to ABS-CBN and GMA 7 to loud the protest. Watch out, coz today the will send brief explanantion to Senator Enrile regarding this. KAwawa ang call center agents ninyo. Im asking for your explaination if theres any regarding this matter within 24 hrs or else we are so sorry but we will do our best effort to be heard.
