I visited the Smart Switch Madness in Edsa Shangri-la today. I went there to intentionally sign up for the Smart Bro Unli Plan 999. I was there to subscribe for the SIM-only subscription which has a 6-months lock in period. But since, Switch Madness event offers FREE Pocket WiFi, I took advantage of it.
For the switchers and new subscribers, the Huawei Pocket Wi-fi was replaced now by Alcatel OneTouch Y580. The speed is up to 7.1Mbps, however the specs published by Alcatel in their website is up to 21Mbps.
Alcatel OneTouch Y580 Specs:
Bands:UMTS 850/1900/2100 MHz, GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, WiFi:2.4GHz
Network: HSPA+, HSUPA, HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS
Supports USB 2.0
Storage: Up to 32G via MicroSD
Data Speed:
- HSDPA: 3GPP R7, up to 21Mpbs DL, HSUPA: 3GPP R6, up to 5.76Mpbs UL
- UMTS: up to 384kbps Download & Upload
- EDGE: up to 237Kbps Download; up to 118Kbps Upload
- GPRS: up to 85.6Kbps Download; up to 42.8Kbps Upload
Now back to the Switch Madness of Smart, if you will sign up for the Broadband with free Pocket Wi-fi, the stocks are not yet available. I just signed up, and Smart reps promised they will call me later or tomorrow to pick up the item. The reps told me their stocks are arriving later today.
I have spotted few customers signing up for the Plan 1500 iPhone 4s, and a lot lined up for both Prepaid and Postpaid switchers!
Here are few photos from the first day of the event.
