Sun Cellular & SmarTone-Vodafone celebrate Pinoys in Hong Kong
Sun Cellular and Hong Kong’s leading telecommunications company, SmarTone-Vodafone, recently staged the Miss Barkadahan sa SmarTone 2008 pageant.
The annual Miss Barkadahan, staged at the Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai district, featured 10 lovely and talented Filipinas who are currently working in Hong Kong and are part of SmarTone’s Barkadahan community. Sun Cellular celebrity endorsers Aga Muhlach, Iya Villania, and Jay-R flew to Hong Kong to perform for our kababayans.
The tie-up provides best-value products and services for Filipinos in Hong Kong and their families in the Philippines. Barkadahan sa SmarTone, the largest OFW community in Hong Kong, offers competitive rates, free credits, and other exciting promotions for calling and texting Sun Cellular. Sun also offers affordable IDD and International SMS rates to SmarTone subscribers aside from new services and promotions.
According to Joel Lumanlan, Sun Cellular assistant vice president for International Services, “Co-presenting the Miss Barkadahan shows our appreciation for the sacrifices of Filipinos working abroad. We understand how hard it is to be away from their families, which is why Sun Cellular continues to find ways to make them feel closer to home without taking much of their hard-earned money.”
Sun Cellular recently launched the Sun Call & Text International SIM, its newest and most powerful prepaid SIM for Filipinos with families living or working abroad. With this, subscribers in the Philippines can text to Hong Kong and 19 other major destinations for only P1 per message. They can also call 10 countries including Hong Kong for only US$0.10 per minute. The SIM is pre-loaded with free IDD 10 minutes and international texts, and does not require registration or special access codes to call or text.
