Aside from the micro-SIM only postpaid
Plan 999 for Smart Bro, I also got access to a prepaid micro-SIM card for Smart Buddy.
I am told just today that these micro-SIM cards are now being
distributed to select Smart dealers nationwide and should be available
to the public by September or as early as next week.
The Smart Buddy micro-SIM will retail for Php40 in stores. It will
work with the iPad WiFi+3G and any other mobile handset that requires a
micro-SIM, including an open-line iPhone 4 (the SIM pack puts a
disclaimer that the “Apple iPhone 4G is not available from Smart
Communications Inc.”).
For details on availability and additional information on the prepaid micro-SIM, you can ask @smartcares on Twitter.
