This is great!

I FOUND this at Jepoy's blog. Parang gusto kong kumuha. I think it's better than the Bayantel Wireless Prepaid (and cheaper and easier to reload). What do you think?

(NOTE: I'm not selling PLDT Landline Plus sim cards ha, I'm just natuwa with this post. That Jepoy guy, though, is selling in bulk.)

PLDT Landline Plus...Prepaid Na!

Having a landline has never been this simple - just insert your PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid SIM into any PLDT handset or ANY unlocked GSM mobile phone (dual band minimum) and you're ready to go. No need to buy a custom handset. You can only use the prepaid SIM anywhere within the province or city your SIM was issued.

We're initially offering SIM cards with an area code of 2, which you could use within Metro Manila only.

Features
- The SIM works with any dual band GSM phone.
- Make and receive NDD/IDD calls on the go!
- Send and receive local and international SMS.
- Choose from P300 or P600 prepaid plans.
- Reload from any SMARTLoad and PLDTLoad outlets nationwide
- Discounts on bulk orders.


Frequently Asked Questions

1.) Can I use my mobile phone or do I need to purchase a unit?
Unlike Bayan Wireless and PLDT Landline Plus postpaid, any GSM phone that works on Globe, SMART, and SUN can be used with PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid.

2.) What's an e-wallet?
The PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid comes with a built in electronic wallet which stores all your e-loads. Every time you make a transaction, funds are deducted from your e-wallet based on the published rates.

Load balance is not cumulative and will expire depending on its individual validity date. Once the load is used to fund the monthly plan, original load expiration date is invalidated.

3.) How does the system work?
1. Subscriber loads e-wallet.
2. Subscriber registers for a plan (P300 or P600)
3. The system checks if your e-wallet has enough to fund your subscribed monthly plan.
4. If yes, P600/P300 will be grabbed from your e-wallet and your account will be activated instantly. If no, your account will be temporarily deactivated.

- You don't need to register every month. The system automatically grabs funds from your e-wallet every 31st day, based on your last subscrbed plan.
- You have the option to change plans for the next month anytime before your current plan expires.
- Changes in your plan will be reflected on the following month.
- Once the current subscription expires, the system will automatically switch you to the newly requested plan on the 1st day following your previous 30-day subscription.

The Earth Hour

Mark your calendar and join WWF and our partners in
the global "Earth Hour" movement by turning your
lights off from 8-9 p.m. on March 29.

Your simple action of switching off the lights for one
hour, combined with millions of others doing the same
thing, will deliver a powerful message to the citizens
and leaders of the world about the need for action on
climate change.

What is Earth Hour? A global event created to
symbolize that each of us, working together, can make
a positive impact on climate change—no matter who we
are or where we live. Starting at 8 pm local time on
March 29, 2008, individuals, communities and
businesses around the world will "turn off the lights"
for one hour.

Where Will the Lights Go Off? Everyone around the
world is encouraged to be involved and shut the lights
off in their homes and businesses. Major participation
is planned in 25 cities around the world, on six
continents. Four Earth Hour flagship cities in the
United States—Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and San
Francisco—are leading the way. Other participating
U.S. cities include Denver, Miami and Charlotte.
Globally, Copenhagen, Sydney, Manila, Tel Aviv,
Bangkok, Dublin and Toronto are among the cities that
will be involved.
What can I do?

1. Sign up to participate in Earth Hour.
Pledge to turn off your lights from 8-9 pm on
Saturday, March 29, 2008. During that hour, replace
old light bulbs with energy-efficient compact
fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) and commit to reducing energy
consumption in the year ahead.

2. Tell your friends about Earth Hour.
Share this message with your friends and family to
encourage them to join with you (and millions of
others) in support of Earth Hour.

Thank you for taking a stand against global
warming—the greatest threat our planet has ever faced.

Sincerely,

Richard Moss
