Trying the Smart Uzzap Beta
One thing I love about the new phones are the 3G internet. It makes me browse the internet everywhere. One thing’s missing though, the chatting feature. I couldn’t login to my Yahoo! Messenger through my laptop because of busy schedule and of course, I don’t bring my laptop anywhere I go.
I found a cool service from Smart called Smart Uzzap where it allows me to chat with friends, even when not in front of my laptop or PC. It’s a recommended service to Smart subscribers on-the-go but needs to connect to their loved ones online most of the times.
What is Smart Uzzap?
The Smart Uzzap is a new service from Smart Telecom that lets its subscribers to connect with friends through instant messengers like Yahoo! Messengers and MSN and to friends who has Smart Uzzap account.

An Improved Smart Bro Prepaid Internet Connection
Just recently, Smart Telecommunications has announced the increased speed of Smart Bro prepaid internet to up to 2Mbps and dropped the price of the Smart Bro Prepaid Kit to Php 2,500.00. However, most users have not really received this promised rate for these past months.
I, myself, had several frustrations over Smart Bro Prepaid since I bought it last September 2008. I’ve had experienced frequent internet connection interruptions, with almost 5-15 minutes of disconnection. So I had to make several dialing attempts but usually ended up disappointed. I called their Smart Bro Hotline, even e-mailed them, only to end up disappointed again. It took a customer service representative a week to update me of the report, when they said I should expect a call of update within 24 hours. In fairness to them though, the customer representatives I’ve talked with are polite enough to assist me with my connection problems with Smart Bro Prepaid.

SmartBro Prepaid Kit, is it a Wise Buy?
I been wanting to own a SmartBro Prepaid Kit since the product was launched. I finally got my budget for it last week so I am using it now as my internet connection. Since the purchase, I’ve been evaluating it if it’s a wise buy and compiled the advantages and disadvantages of this modem.
Advantages:
1. It is very portable and handy.
2. You can basically use it anywhere (where there is Smart 3G signal of course). But with the nationwidest coverage of Smart, you can basically use it anywhere.
3. It is cheaper than its competitors available in the market. Globe Visibility modem costs P4,500 and Sun Cellular’s own prepaid kit, although unlimited, have a lock in period of 1 year and requires you a high-paying job to apply. You have to have at least P20,000 salary per month to qualify.
4. You can conveniently load it up using E-Loads and PasaLoad.
Disadvantages:
1. It works as your ordinary dial-up modem which needs to be dialled to connect. Although, it’s much faster than dial-up.
2. They employ the 30-minute block metering. Once you’re connected, P10 pesos (consumable for 30 minutes) will be automatically deducted from your current load. To understand the this method, you may refer to the Smart Bro Prepaid Website. SmartBro Prepaid Kit
3. The modem can be sucky at times (all the times actually) making you re-connect several times.
4. It’s more costly than the unlimited plans offered by most internet providers. Like in my case, I can consume P100 per day. The rate of course depends on the usage.
I still recommend the unlimited plans if you are a frequent internet user. But if you are always on-the-go, Smart Bro and other prepaid plans can be a good internet connection supplement. So ruit is a wise buy? Well, I am still shrugging myself when someone asks me.
