subscriptions, can activate unlimited mobile internet plans so
they can have better control of their data charges when using
smartphones.
 Standard data charging on SMART is 10 Pesos per 30 minutes.
You can use as much data as you want during that time span.
That’s the same charge whether you’re using GPRS, EDGE,
3G/UMTS, or HSPA.
 When you’re on an unlimited data plan, you can use as much
data as you want within the time period you’re signed up for.
There are no data caps.

at http://m.smart.com.ph/surf
 Make sure you’re connected using the
SMART data network when you do this
(the SURF page won’t appear if you
connect through Wi-Fi).

9. Sample SMS notification upon
subscription
31 May 14:29: You have successfully
registered your account to UNLISURF
300. Your UNLI SURF is valid until 07 Jun
14:29

10. Sample SMS status notification
If the user sends any of the UNLI commands to 211 while the
sunscription is active, he will receive an SMS that indicates the
end date and time of the UNLI plan. So you can also use the
command as a status check. For example, sending the command
UNLI 1200 to 211 while a subscription is in effect could return
the following status message:
02 Jul 14:40 You're currently subscribed to UNLI
SURF. You can stay connected up to 10 Jul 21:54

11. Checking Plan Status via mobile web
 You can go to the surf page at
http://m.smart.com.ph/surf on your mobile browser at
any time to check your plan status. Select the “Status”
command at the bottom of the screen.
 Once again, make sure you’re connected to the SMART
data network when you do this (i.e. you’re using GPRS or
3G). This page won’t display when you’re connected
through a Wi-Fi connection.
