SMART Forces Termination of Old Plans

 SMART has been sending out "love letters" to their pioneer postpaid subscribers this month. They are forcing their postpaid subscribers to either terminate their subscription or migrate to "better" postpaid plans. The letter states that they are currently "upgrading" their billing system.
The old postpaid subscription plans of SMART includes unlimited text/SMS to anyone, whether within or outside the SMART network. Whether it's plan40, plan300, plan1500, etc., they have unlimited text capabilities.
My friend once asked me to buy his plan40 subscription for P8,000. Fortunately for me, I was having my Design Project (thesis) and my wallet was empty :~). Plan 40 includes 40 free minutes of voice calls and unlimited SMS to all networks. P8,000 was cheap compared to others who are selling these plans for as high as P20,000 each. Just imagine how screwed those people who bought these plans for P20,000 right now.
