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

30 3 days
50 5 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.

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).
