Second is convenience, not all people have the time to buy a load and punch in the codes for the promo. Lalo na kung madami ka naman pera hehe.įirst, some of their plans bundle subscriptions that I have usually have to pay separately on prepaid. You might argue Na "madali lang naman sa prepaid" but for some people, it's worth it to pay more to avoid minor inconveniences. People are just paying for convenience Na Lang. You won't run out of load in the middle of a call or something. If it gets stolen, madali lang ma replace. Your number is yours as long as you're paying for it. Other than that, you pay a premium sa postpaid. That's why I said I think that's the reason Pero I don't think it's right for them to do that. It makes sense Kasi the latter will give them more money in return. Instead of rewarding your loyalty, they'd rather give incentives to the switchers. So the rates will have to be competitive. Lalo na kung wala ka naman attachment sa number mo. Yung prepaid, in a day you can decide to just switch networks. They know you'll be staying with them for 2 years even if they don't do anything new. This is how I see it (and I'm not saying it's correct), with postpaid kasi they got you already. So I kinda agree and see the point of OP here. Also, sim only plans (with just 6 months contract) are still more expensive than prepaid. The caveat with the phone bundle is the contract, and not the cost or inclusions themselves. People are saying na it's because of the phone but I disagree. Postpaid subs could also request for a micro cell site. Kwento din sa akin that quality of service for postpaids are a bit better. Personal postpaids tend to cater to people who value their time than money. BIR prefers postpaids as their's a paper trail. It simplifies work of accounting to have a SOA emailed to them. Most postpaids are held by corporate accounts. Over 90% of SIMs in the Philippines are prepaid. And promo mechanics change every so often. Not a lot of people are that diligent to do it. It could be done with your credit card but that's another step and unlocked smartphones tend to cost more.Īlso consider the time and effort to keep activating promos. It's easier on the cashflow to pay things on installment than outright. So if you want a Samsung Galaxy Fold that costs 109,990 up front you can get one on contract that where you pay 4,499/month for 24 months plus service cost or 3,049/month for 36 months plus service cost. These smartphone payment is divided over the period of the contract lock-in. Postpaid SIMs tend to have smartphones bundled.
