PLDT rolls out lowest call plan

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT Inc. is rolling out this month its lowest call plan offer to allow landline subscribers to make calls to all networks for only P299 per month.

Through the All Net Fam Call 299, landline subscribers can make 100 minutes of landline calls to all networks including Smart, Sun Cellular, TNT, Globe Telecom and TM for as low as P299 per month.

By availing of the plan, subscribers will also get an exclusive 50 percent off promo and enjoy P1 per minute call rate on the first month of their subscription.

“This new offer is part of our commitment to provide affordable and innovative call services to more Filipinos. Now, they will be able to enjoy four times lower call rates across all networks,” said Oscar Reyes Jr., PLDT first vice president and head of home business.

PLDT subscribers can enjoy the All Net Fam Plan 299 as an add-on to their existing PLDT plan, available for Voice, Home DSL and Home Fibr plans.

Late last month, PLDT’s wireless unit Smart Communications Inc. announced the Smart Express Call 50 which offers 50 minutes of calls to all networks, valid for three days, at a cost of P1 per minute.

Smart said the move to offer P1 per minute calls to all networks is in line with its aim to enable greater connections through various mobile products and services.

Earlier, Globe announced an all-net call promo for as low as P1 per minute in response to the clamor of customers for lower cost of call services.

Amid intense competition in the telco industry, prices of mobile services have been declining over the past years.

Telcos have said the reduced prices are beneficial to consumers as they are able to have greater access to mobile products and services.
