Telebabad - ang pagbabalik!

Codigo of Telco numbers

I overheard our two manangs at the student canteen talking about PLDT's P10 calls. Manang was telling a story of making telebabad with so many friends being billed only P10 P9.90 P9.09 per call (adds up to P9.999 including VAT). All NDD calls to PLDT phones and Smart network cellphones are billed on P10 flat rate no matter how long the call is. That's PLDT's P10 per call unlimited for you.

Wide-eyed, Manang was telling us (nakipag-kwentuhan na ako, eh) about how she made the mistake of tele-babad-ing with a Globe subscriber. Umabot daw ng P300 ang phone call niyang 'yun! Hahaha!

Kami naman sa bahay, we got our NDD and PLDT vibe service activated last week. It was simple, only a phone call to the 171, a service request, tapos give an ID *number*. No application forms or application forms or fax letters or anything.

I've been using the PLDT flat rate service this past week. But there were times when I would dial my wife's Smart number but she could not hear my voice. This has happened around 4 times already. The cynic in me would tell me that PLDT is doing this intentionally to generate more calls. But that's just my schizophrenic self. Unless somebody else can tell of the same experience, I'll give PLDT the benefit of the doubt.

Tutal, the other times I called, okay naman ang connection. The PLDT flat-rate service is better than the congested Sun unlimited calls, better than the former service of Globe that will no longer be continued, better than the crappy 258 service of Smart that makes you wait forever before an unlimited call is made.

So far, this PLDT P10 flat-rate service is the one that fits my needs. If only I can lug along my PLDT landline when I go to school....
