Sun Cellular - Philippines

[3ple4]

... and now I heard that Sun came up with a free Nokia 6100 at Plan 250, he he he!!!

[volts]

like i've been saying, gotta love these price wars!
btw, would you know how sun cellular is doing in the market? just curious...

[3ple4]

I'm not sure but it should be doing well. Coz whenever I pass by a Sun shop, there's always tons of customers.

However, Sun still doesn't have much roaming. My aunt went to Europe and there's was no Sun signal. And not yet many cell sites in the provinces either.

[volts]

i hope they take better care of their customers than the BIG TWO do... it'll be the only way to win market share from them. besides, the market just isn't growing that rapidly anymore...:)

[Joco]

Mmm..... I did not know there was any other Cell comp. in the Pi. I just heard of Smart and Globe. The last time I was there was in Oct of 2001. My wife is Filipino.

I got friends and relatives who are sun subscribers. Besides being cheap, they have nothing nice to say with regards to sun. Signal strength and delivery of sms could use a major improvement.

[volts]

well, i guess you get what you pay for... :D

[3ple4]

I think Sun's services will eventually get better in the long run. Same thing with Globe & Smart when they first started out, everyone was pissed coz it's hard to get a signal, delayed sms, etc...

[kyoots]

yup but theyd better do it fast or the two giants will crush them. anyway, i think its a market share thingy - like cebu pacific <airline> or robinsons <malls> (same owner by the way), who are ranked only as second or third among the bigger ones like PAL <airline> and SM or Ayala <malls>. mother company is digitel, by the way, who ranks below PLDT/Smart and Globe. the point is, theyre ok once they had their share. problem is if theyd build up the network fast to please the subscribers...

[3ple4]

I guess the Gokongweis always like to be 3rd, he he he!!! But they're number 1 in the publishing business (re: Summit Media, #1 overall), but this is another story. I don't wanna get off the topic, he he!!

Well so far, my cousin doesn't encounter any signal problems with Sun (at least in Metro Manila) however, there's definitely no roaming yet coz my aunt brought her Sun line to Europe and there weren't any signals. Luckily, she also brought a Globe line.

[kyoots]

hmmm...perhaps sun only has few roaming partners in europe yet...maybe they concentrated on other top pinoy destinations such as US or HK.

[3ple4]

very strange things happened twice... my friends who are in Canada and Australia called me up in my mobile phone using their respective local subscribers, but a Sun number registered on my phone (0922...) so I thought they were making fun me and they were in Manila already but apparently they weren't. Before, whenever someone calls me from overseas, no number is registered.

[kyoots]

yup. the same thing happened to me when my friend from the US called me up - a globe number registered. still dunno why this happens.

[cdover]

yup. the same thing happened to me when my friend from the US called me up - a globe number registered. still dunno why this happens.

I think perhaps the call is sent to Globe first and then signalled to your phone...who knows...

[3ple4]

yup. the same thing happened to me when my friend from the US called me up - a globe number registered. still dunno why this happens.
Ever tried calling that number that appeared on the screen? :D

[kyoots]

no i didnt coz first i thought it was just one of my "fans", hehe...

[3ple4]

Hey, Sun just came out with another tempting promo... text all you can. I don't know the full details but it's pretty enticing.

[macoolit]

Hey, Sun just came out with another tempting promo... text all you can. I don't know the full details but it's pretty enticing.


Yes, here it is:

Sun 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited

Available beginning October 01, 2004

With Sun Cellular's 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited, you can call and text all you want Sun to Sun.

For postpaid subscribers, enroll by visiting the Sun Shop or calling the hotline at 200 toll-free in your mobile phone. After enrolling simply pay P250 a month on top of your Monthly Service Fee.

For prepaid subscribers, load up 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited via call cards, e-pins or via text - available in two load denominations: P100 valid for 10 days and P250 valid for 30 days.

That's a small price to pay for the privilege of calling and texting from now to sawa. No more tipid texts. No more tipid calls.


The 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited Service offering does not include free and unlimited transactions of the following:
Calls and texts to NON-Sun Cellular subscribers
NDD calls
IDD calls
VAS Transactions - The Mall, MMS, iMMS
With 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited, you can enjoy unlimited local calls and local texts to other Sun subscribers anytime and anywhere within the given validity period.


Existing and future subscribers of Sun Cellular can enjoy this new service offering, both for Postpaid and Prepaid subscribers. For Prepaid subscribers, you will have to load 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited via call card, electronic load or SMS.

[3ple4]

He he he!! I bet Globe and Smart will come up a similar offer. Then we don't have to switch to Sun :)

[son23kat]

He he he!! I bet Globe and Smart will come up a similar offer. Then we don't have to switch to Sun :)

don't think so...they have enough subscriber base already...it could spell their demise, and network traffic, if they come up with something like 24/7 Unlimited...
but why is Sun doing this promo??? --> THEY NEED SUBSCRIBERS. PERIOD. :p

[3ple4]

but why is Sun doing this promo??? --> THEY NEED SUBSCRIBERS. PERIOD. :p
And subscribers they're gonna get :D Slowly, some of my friends are getting Sun but only the couples so they can text each other all day long, he he!!!

[francisofarabia]

m sure that SUN unlimited call/txt 24/7 will not last long... avail it now guys, untill it is free!

[exx]

He he he!! I bet Globe and Smart will come up a similar offer. Then we don't have to switch to Sun :)

You know, what I REALLY like about Sun is how they seem to do things that scream "in your face, Smart and Globe!"

On the promo, people are saying that it's almost over, but if it's 250/month then it should go on for at least a COUPLE of months, 'di ba? Otherwise, they should have said 250 for this month! Hehehe.

I seriously doubt that Globe and Smart will follow the trend. I agree that Sun is doing this to break into their markets and get subscribers. It's working. Two die-hard Globe friends of mine already jumped ship. Yung isa POST PAID pa! Globe shouldn't have ditched the free GPRS. That was one of the strong points why many stayed. But now, I don't know how it will go for them since they charge 0.25Php per kb (which is @#$%ng overpriced esp in the world of graphics, pixs and mms nowadays!)

I salute Sun for their efforts. I'm going to get a second phone and a Sun sim for myself and encourage my clan to do the same. Heck, I'd totally switch over the moment they say this thing will go on for a year and ditch my Smart. The risk is very small.

Anyway, gtg! Have fun everyone!

[francisofarabia]

so, sun users how is the coverage of sun in general??? mainit ba, o walang araw???

[leonard]

SUN Cellular sucks! signal is terrible and it is really hard to call other networks using sun. People won't mind paying a little extra as long as they provide better service. What kind of network lets you wait for about 5 minuites when you call their hotline? globe platinum answers your call is 2 seconds. Sun cellulars customer service is really lax. I salute globe and smart for not following sun cellular because here you can see that people still use globe and smart even if sun cellular has call and text unlimited that lets you dial a couple of times before connecting. their servie really sucks! I'm a post paid subscriber of sun cellular and i really regret it. Representatives in the sun shops are not knowlegable of their job. Also their billing department is really screwed! They keep on calling that i did not pay my bill when in fact it is set on auto billing on my credit card! One proof that sun cellular is really nothing compared to smart and globe is they only have 2 million subscriber most of whom are pre paid users and just for the sake of their promo which i doubt would last for 4 months. While globe and smart has 17 million subscriber i think. Sun cellular just wants to boost up its subscriber so they won't be put to smahe when their foreign partner come into business with them. it is rumored that singtel will partner with sun cellular and i hope theior service will be better. Bottom line is sun cellular sucks and they are just tricking people to spend on their worthless low quality service.

[3ple4]

If that's the case, them maybe Sun should just concentrate on the prepaid market.

[francisofarabia]

why, was i not surprised of a negative answer... anyway, the main usage of my cell is IDD, so 24/7 aint much for me...

[trigo]

sun network is clogged due to its free trial for 15 days ending oct 31. during this time, all you can do is text. calling has been a futile effort. i might have gotten to the person am calling (sun also) about 3x in trying 50x. i dont know now that their free trial is over if all those would buy the 24/7 promo prepaid. anyway, until they can expand their network coverage and capacity in handling the huge public response then i dont see any reason why i should continue. but the promo is well received but i also doubt if globe or smart would follow. only those that have limited subscriber would do that promo.

[son23kat]

in contrary to your opinions, SUN Cellular 24/7 call and text unlimited is here to stay...i do have Sun Cellular Marketing Dept. Contacts, that's why i know...

and regarding the clogging of network... i wouldn't mind trying to call a few more times to connect than spend P7.50 using your GLOBE or SMART...the speed of service can't compensate with the overpriced rate

[3ple4]

I don't mind paying a bit more for better service.

[mundets]

Sun is desperate to get subscribers... They can't do it. I don't understand why they decided to even make the company when the market is already saturated.

24/7 blowout from Sun Cellular


http://www.mb.com.ph/SCTY2004110221734.html


Sun Cellular recently treated its subscribers to a Friday evening bash dubbed as the “24/7 Call and Text Unlimited Blowout Party” held at the Eastwood City Walk Central Plaza in Libis, Q.C. The event was to celebrate the success of the 24/7 Call and Text Unlimited service that started last Oct. 1.


This new promo of Sun Cellular lets you have the convenience and freedom of making voice calls and sending messages to fellow Sun subscribers without the huge costs.

The event was highlighted by a concert from River Maya, South Border, Jimmy Bondoc and Intense.

DJs from Jam 88.3, Wave 89.1, KLite 103.5, 99.5 RT and Magic 89.9 hosted the event.

Prizes for games and raffle draws include: Sun Cellular Sureload phonekits, 24/7 Call & Text Unlimited SIM Packs and Call cards and Sun Cellular merchandise.

[trigo]

network now that the free trial is over isn't that much clogged and your call gets connected faster especially calling a sun subscriber. But sun would always be a 2nd fiddle to a main globe or smart cellphone.

[francisofarabia]

Sun is desperate to get subscribers... They can't do it. I don't understand why they decided to even make the company when the market is already saturated.
i may be wrong, but not even half of the population of the philippines has a cellphone, there is still a big market here as far as cellphone is concerned... and we as consumer should be more than happy to have more players, it forces everybody to be more competitive and be more agrresive as far as pricing and services is concerned...

i want 6630 or 9500 24/7 plan with sun, do you have it???

[janell]

If i get the plan from sun call and text unlimited, and the network decided to stop their promo should i still avail the call and text unlimited because i am a plan subscriber and not pre-paid? :)

[son23kat]

with postpaid, you have to either call the SUN hotline (200) or visit a sun shop near you to enroll your account for the call and text unlimited promo. u'll pay P250 on top of your monthly service fee..

ex. U have a plan 600 account, add P250 = P850 u get call and text unlimited Sun-to-Sun, and u can spend the whole P600 with calls (local, NDD, or IDD) on other networks, plus u get the usual free text allocation


I haven't tried this yet as my free trial is yet to expire...

I already inquire in some sun center, i even call sun's hotline to know bout their promo.... too bad di nila alam kung hanggang kailan ang promo. im pretty sure di mgttgal ang 24/7 call and text unlimited once na dumami ang subscriber ng sun. kung sakaling mawala na ung 24/7 sa pre-paid kahit sana sa post paid di nila tngalin. sayang naman ung inapply na line kung mcucut din kagad once na mwla ung 24/7.
Once they decided na tanggalin na lahat ang 24/7 s pre-paid and post paid ung ngaply na lng sana during their promo ang makaka avail ng 24/7. Malas na nga lang sa hindi kagad ng apply ng line....
ARE YOU AGREE WITH MY SUGGESTION???

[son23kat]

i'm quite sure na magtatagal ang 24/7. so u need not worry. :)

[francisofarabia]

how sure r u? taga sun k b?

[volts]

well, the way i see it, Sun needs to do this to get new subscribers. what's happening now is that they've clogged their network by getting more than they can comfortably service. this could possibly ruin them, if their service gets worse.

it's undeniable that the popularity of Sun's 24/7 promo is on the rise; it took me 6 tries at different MiniStop's in my office area before I got mine. however, the congestion of the network at peak hours isn't quite what i'd call thrilling.

one interesting repercussion of this promo is that the second-hand market for phones has gotten a shot in the arm from this. a lot of people (myself included) are getting two phones, with the second a dedicated 24/7 one just for contacting people who have Sun too.

[3ple4]

I have many friends who have Sun as their second line, too :D As for moi, one line is more than enough. Moreover, it's a burden for me carrying 2 phones all the time.

[francisofarabia]

well, i got lots of phone and i am used in carrying 2 phones- 1 for personnal, 1 for business/office

[son23kat]

how sure r u? taga sun k b?

nope. pero may kakilla ako from their marketing dept.

[volts]

It helps me save on load... my regular phone's got a Globe prepaid SIM that already gives me trouble feeding monthly :p

[3ple4]

I don't understand why some people prefer to use prepaid than get a line (postpaid). Postpaid is definitely cheaper.

[son23kat]

postpaid is "hassle" and with prepaid, you don't have to have an ITR or any other BS requirements just to get it...if getting a postpaid was as easy as getting a prepaid, then maybe we'd all be having postpaid...

[francisofarabia]

i use prepaid coz most of the time i am out of the country...

[3ple4]

Mobile operators should require IDs when purchasing a prepaid sim so that they'll know the identity of the subscriber (for security reasons).

Speaking of Globe shares (from the other forums), Digitel shares doubled since it's IPO. Damn it, I should have bought some, he he!!

[3ple4]

postpaid is "hassle" and with prepaid, you don't have to have an ITR or any other BS requirements just to get it...if getting a postpaid was as easy as getting a prepaid, then maybe we'd all be having postpaid...
That's what my friend initially thought... "hassle" when applying for postpaid line. But it only took him 30 minutes max to get the line. I don't think the requirements are too much hassle... if you don't have an ITR, then show them your bank account. Done :)

[son23kat]

good for him...u see it ain't as easy as you think...especially for people like me, who still are students...but it don't matter anyway, i already am using a postpaid line...hehehe... :p

[3ple4]

Oh ok, yup.. for students, it's kinda harder :(

[volts]

i just LOVE Sun's 24/7! it helps me save! :)

[son23kat]

hell yeah..i don't even mind the clogging...it saves a lot for me

[greenarcher]

guys, vote kayo dito, thanks. http://forums.mobileburn.com/showthread.php?t=6629

[volts]

now if only they could get the network to stop clogging on weekends... and improve the signal... and... hehe.

wishful thinking? yeah, i think so too. still, good enough for me :)

[3ple4]

Has Sun finished setting up their WAP? Coz the last time I checked (2-3 months ago), it was still in the beta stage.

[son23kat]

who needs wap when you can use gprs for internet browsing (for select phones at least :D )

[volts]

i'll never find out... my Sun phone's a Euro-spec NEC that has its settings locked for iMode... :mad:

[3ple4]

who needs wap when you can use gprs for internet browsing (for select phones at least :D )
I think (I'm not a techie person so I could be wrong) WAP is the protocol to surf the net via mobile phones. And you use GPRS to make WAP surfing faster. So what I'm saying is, is the WAP service of Sun already done?

[son23kat]

as far as i know, i can surf the net using Sun's GPRS on my 3650. but u need to have a 3rd party app like Opera or other web browsers.

hope i answered your question
;)

[sinspawn]

can anyone be my textmate here? sun only....

[carcomptoy]

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean textmate?

[KurosakiIchigo]

can anyone help me? gprs settings for n-gage qd and oh im using sun, prepaid nga lang...

[difenbaker]

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean textmate?

someone you could text with, an anonymous friend....just about anybody could be a textmate, especially if using Sun's unlimited texting.


cheers!

[carcomptoy]

lol like a penpal? geez what would you talk about?

[hotzigetty]

Mobile operators should require IDs when purchasing a prepaid sim so that they'll know the identity of the subscriber (for security reasons).

!

Isnt that a law everywhere?? it is here in India.. you need id to get a prepaid card..

[hotzigetty]

yeah text away!!

[difenbaker]

yeah text away!!

Good thing that both Globe and Smart are also having their own "unlimited texting" promos... that oughta take some of the sales from Sun.


cheers!

[KurosakiIchigo]

hey guys is there anyone here that can help me.... gprs settings for n-gage qd sun prepaid....

It all started one Wednesday Evening between 6-6:30 pm. My friend and I loaded up 150.00 pesos credit for us to be able register and try out the new promo of sun cellular 150.00 Text unlimited for 30 days! Oh diba sulit naman talaga.. imagine nonstop texting for 30 days for just 150.00... Kung sa smart yun 450.00 for 30 days (kasi 30.00 for 2 days ) Kung sa globe naman 300.00 in 30 days (50.00 for 5 days). At mas mura pa rin yun kesa sa unang promo na call and text unlimited (kasi nga may call kaya mahal) yung call and text unlimited kasi 100.00 for 12 days. So that's 8.33 pesos per day and 250.00 for 30 days of use. Eh di ko rin naman nagagamit yung call kasi nga mahirap naman din tumawag.. so OK na OK yung text unlimited diba?

kaya lang....

Nung nag register na ako.. aba walang bumalik an number string (yun yung parang code na gagamitin to load up the service). my friend told me to wait for 2 hours.. yun daw ang sabi ng cutomer service rep ng sun. So i waited.
I also checked sun cellular's website (mabagal din magbukas yan. im using firefox na ha.). Try no i-click yung link sa baba ng site nakalagay "contact us" wag kayong mabigla kung walang mangyayri... The link just redirects you to the page kung nasan kayo. ASTIG DIBA? Its like saying.. "DON'T CONTACT US! DYAN KA LANG!" Pero meron namang isa pang link.. "CUSTOMER CARE" Ganda ng pangalan! Gumagana naman siya.. (I THINK.. di ko pa kasi na-try magsend ng feedback from there. Baka hindi siya magsend sa sun)

Aba.. at around 10pm.. wala pa rin. I tried calling the sun customer service hotline thru my cp... di ako maka connect! Network busy daw (yah right!). 12 mn na wala pa rin.. so tulog na.

kinabukasan.. (Thursday) i was expecting na nareceive ko na yung number string.. wala pa rin! tried calling sun again... Nag start ako tumawag sa cp ko ng mga around 7am. mga 5 tries di ako makapasok.. Then nung may sumagot ang daming number na kailangan pindutin! Press 1 for ek ek.. press 2 for ek ek. ok.. so sunod naman ako... tapos wait daw for an operator.. (network busy daw kasi mga operators!). so akong si tanga.. naghintay.. alam mo yung "dead air" na tinatawag? as in ganun.. wala manlang music or kung anuman na nagsasabi sayo an "teka lang ha.. wala pang available na CSR eh. So baba ko phone, tapos dial ulit.. Then i also tried using our landline. either busy or wala talagang opeartor or CSR na sumasagot..

Mga past 8am nakapasok din ako.. ginamit ko na landline namin... (kaya ako na-late sa trabaho). Si Catherine ang nakasagot sakin. Sinabi ko name ko and CP number plus location. Then i told her my concern. tapos eto sabi saki.. (not the actual dialog, di ko kasi naisulat eh)

"Sorrrrry sir, your call was routed to the post paid line. Kindly dial again. "

So ok.. mali daw eh... Pero for sure i followed what the Automated attendant told me to do so.. (press 1 for post paid, press 2 for pre-paid.. i pressed 2.. promise!)

Dial ulit. Langya.. mukang tulog pa yata ng CSR nila. Nung 3rd try.. may sumagot na!

I was just wondering what receive was in tagalog.

I feel like i will again have to move alll these posts to a new off topic thread.

Yes, texting seems to be delayed now, when it was okay before. I think SUN is getting too crowded for them to catch up, they're becoming "too popular" too fast.

Hi people, I hate Sun too, although I can't not use Sun, because all the members of the family use it and they want to contact me unlimitedly.. Geeezzz...

I tried chatting with Sun iMessenger and it's also buggy. Sometimes, my session expires without any prompt. And assuming that i was logged out from the system, I tried to login again. And still no prompt whether i did a duplicate login or i had a successful login. I also once lost 2 days of unlimited chatting due to bad network. Sigh.. And when I tried to dial 22 for their hotline. I got this message: "Not allowed!"
