I am currently using SMART as my cellphone provider and I'm satisfied with it so far. I think I've been using this service for more than 10 years now. My first provider was Globe but I changed lines when I changed phones. My broadband connection is also with SMART.

For me, if you want to get your money's worth, choose Sun because for only P150, you avail the unlimited text sun-sun for a month plus 4 hours call sun-sun. And if you want to text other networks, for only P5, you can have 10 texts to other networks. Isn't that amazing? At this time of financial crisis, we have to be practical. Som choose Sun..heheh

Globe user for several years until I met my boyfriend which made me switch to smart, since he always gives me load lolz! But I really prefer globe because I use gcash as a means of receiving payments online. Im more at ease on going to globe business centers, they are more accomodating based on my experience.

Hello kingpong! I have been using SMART and SUN CELLULAR. I used smart because it has been my number forr 4 years now and I just used sun recently for calling overseas. Sun has more cheaper rates in calling abroad.

Well each of them has something great to offer. But if only SUN came first it would have been the best. It is cost-effective which really is the major factor to consider nowadays. However, because SUN came late, it has few coverage areas and because of unlimited services the line can get really busy. I am a Smart user but I wish things and services in smart were better. I also have TM and they have many offers to make communivations cheaper but then again because most people use smart here, you have to load inorder to text smart users.

I prefer Smart because it has wider coverage within our country and have lots of services that offers great opportunity for its subscribers.

I have tried Smart and Globe. I was a Smart user at first when I had my very first mobile phone when I was in HS. That time, it was still expensive. Then when I was in College I switched to Globe, which basically most of my blockmates and schoolmates were Globe users, then from then, I'm Globe user eversince. I don't know which is exactly the best mobile in terms of business, but definitely I'd go for Globe. I love their promos and the Yahoo Messenger chat. That's so cool, but I just don't like it much in a way, that it drains my cellphone battery fast. My sister has a Sun but signal is just so bad at some areas. Had sun just for few weeks, didn't like it at all.. But whatever, as long as I can contact my loved ones, I'm cool with it.

I had my smart for quite a while now and I do use globe and just recently Sun. But I am most satisfied with Globe services...smart takes the second spot, I only use Sun occasionally...

Smart for me. Smart is a well balanced network provider. It offers unlimited text for as low as 10 pesos in Visayar and Mindanao and superb internet connection via GPRS or 3G. All calls are crystal clear and there are no delayed messages. They even came up with a very reliable instant messenger Uzzap which is still free. I have been using my Smart simcard for seven years now and i am more than satisfied.

SMART is more popular so I also use it. What I mean is, most of the people I know are Smart subscribers thus I opted to use it too to cut some cost and avail of the promos. I am satisfied with the network's service (except on those times where my load suddenly vanished after receiving a promo text from Smart).

I have tried using Smart, Globe, and Sun. Currently, i am using Globe since most of my classmates are using Globe. I am satisfied on their services but there are times i hate using it when the messages are late and when there is difficulty sending messages. Sun may be cheap but the signal is poor. I have to go out of the house to be able to send message or call. I used Smart for a long time and i have no complains on their services. I like using it but i have to stick with Globe since most of my contacts are Globe user.

Hi kingpong, good day to you.. Well, the type of network that i'm using in my phone is the GLOBE sim card because with this network, the connection is really fast like sending messages, making a call, and other features in Cellphone network. One good thing with globe is the less delay in connection and i can say that with globe network it is more reliable and affordable. I think here in our country a great number of people are using globe network because one of those reason. I think the really great thing with globe is the price of their sim card, which is the starter sim. As i remember, last saturday my mother buy this kind of sim card and she told me that with the price of this sim card is only just like you avail a autoload to your card, which is really affordable. Our sim car network in the past is a smart sim card, but there is a time a that our sim card eat our extraload. Which make us really sad with that situation. That's why one of our reason why we change our sim card. Well, the disadvantage of smart for mobile network is more expensive than globe sim cards, by the way honestly speaking one thing that you will be disapointed with this network is sometimes they deduct to your load with un expected cause. But i have a good advise, may be you should try the Sun network because with this network, there is a very good promo which is the Plans were you can have a phone whild availing with their promo from one a a time. Well, i am surely you will love this promo. Well that's the end of my response here in this forum topic entitled "what is the best mobile network in the Philippines, Globe, Smart, Sun?". I hope i give a very interesting response to your discussion. Thank you very much. I am sure with globe you will really enjoy it because [b] ang lakas mo sa globe (your strong with globe) lol. Happy posting and happy earning to us here in this site mylot. . . Good day again and Godbless us always. . .

I have used the three top mobile network (smart, globe, sun) and I can say that for me Globe would be the best. Their offers, signal, customer service are good though having Sun mobile is way cheaper with regards to load.

I've always been a globe user.. since hmmm i can't remember... I think since 13 years ago. The network has never disappointed me. I have changed numbers a couple of times, but it has always been a globe number..

Globe is for much better service I think. Smart do the coverage they pawn other company. Sun? maybe the cheapest ^_~ I'm a Globe user now, but in my high school days, I used smart ^_~ They both good thought but most of my friends is using Globe so I'm gonna stick with it ^_~

I am a Globe subscriber for almost 9 years now and I can say that I am satisfied with Globe. By the way, according to many award giving bodies here and in Asia, Globe is the most innovative mobile service provider in the Philippines. You can check it on the net if you want. Happy MyLotting!

I myself have been a Smart user since I got a mobile phone. My only complaint is that Smart is not pro-masses (I guess, their sister company Talk 'n Text.) Unlike Sun who really reach out for the masses by offering affordable and great services to their subscribers. But I would like to thank Smart for always considering me as one of their preselected subscribers who have access to their new services like their Smart Load loan, with it, I can not text my friends eventhough I don't have a prepaid load.
