Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, staying connected with friends and loved ones is more crucial than ever. Fortunately, technology is continuously evolving, and with these rapid developments come different options for people to communicate with each other. Now, it might be difficult to imagine getting through a week (or even a day) without your smartphone, which you use primarily to keep in touch with other people through texts, chats, and calls.

If you wish to unleash the full power of your ever-reliable mobile device, it is necessary to subscribe to the right plan. Many people these days are attracted to the benefits offered by telecommunications companies that make postpaid plans seem irresistible, especially to professionals, homeowners, and young adults.

DITO Telecommunity, one of the major telcos in the Philippines, now offers 5G postpaid mobile plans that you might be interested in. By subscribing to DITO FLEXPlans, you can enjoy exciting freebies on top of an ample amount of consumable mobile data and unlimited calls and texts to all networks.

Why Many People Are Choosing Postpaid Over Prepaid

As of 2020, over 4.6 million Filipinos have postpaid SIM cards in the Philippines. This shows that a significant number of people in the country prefer postpaid mobile plans over their prepaid counterparts. It is no wonder because these plans allow users to enjoy the following benefits:

Convenience

Postpaid plans are better if you don’t like having to top up your mobile load regularly. As a DITO FLEXPlan subscriber, you can continue calling and texting whenever you please because you are provided unlimited calls and texts to all networks. As for mobile data, you get a large allowance every month, depending on your plan. Currently, the lowest amount you can get is 8GB (for FLEXPlan 588 with handset), which is enough for you to access the internet and browse social media. 

Handsets

Who doesn’t want a new phone, right? If you want to upgrade your mobile device to a brand-new, high-end Samsung smartphone, subscribing to a DITO FLEXPlan is one way to do so.

In some of our plans, you get the phone for free. However, if you wish to get one of the latest models, you may be asked to settle a cash-out fee. The amount you need to pay depends on the smartphone you want and your subscription plan.

Affordable Plans

Many people think postpaid plans are expensive, but that isn’t necessarily the case. At DITO, for example, postpaid subscriptions start at only ₱588. By paying that amount every month, you can enjoy unlimited calls and texts to all networks and a considerable amount of mobile data. You also get exciting freebies, like Prime Video subscriptions or bonus data.

Tips for Finding the Right Postpaid Mobile Plan

By now, you might be on the quest to find the ideal postpaid plan. We offer several options, but it might be difficult to choose the best one. Fret not because we’re here to help you pick the perfect postpaid plan for you. Follow these tips:

Consider Your Lifestyle

First things first, assess your current lifestyle. Are you a working professional in a fast-paced environment or a stay-at-home parent who juggles housework and income-generating rackets? No matter the case, you will need a plan with a generous mobile data allowance on top of unlimited calls and texts to all networks. You need to stay connected at all times to talk to your peers, family, coworkers, and clients.

Meanwhile, if you are a financially independent youth who just recently started living alone, a SIM-only plan might be the best option. This is especially the case if you already have a working phone. SIM-only plans are more affordable, but you can still enjoy the benefits associated with postpaid plans. Once you find a higher-paying job in the future, you can splurge more and upgrade to a handset-inclusive plan.

Mind Your Monthly Budget

Of course, your budget is a major consideration. Make sure to choose a plan that you know you can easily pay without going into debt. Consider your current monthly salary and other regular expenses, such as rent, utilities, and food. You should ideally still have some savings left even after paying the monthly bills for your mobile postpaid plan.

Read Reviews

Doing proper research is crucial when choosing a postpaid plan, an essential part of which is reading reviews from existing subscribers. This helps give you an idea of what other people think about the postpaid plans offered by your preferred telco. If possible, you can also check what other users say about signal strength in certain areas and common concerns they experience with the network.

Don’t forget to read reviews regarding the telco’s customer service and ease of bill payment, too. It is best to choose a postpaid plan from a telco that you can contact quickly if you suddenly face any issues.

Questions To Ask When Subscribing to Postpaid Mobile Plans

If you decide to subscribe to a postpaid plan with calls, texts, and mobile data allocation, you must visit the store and speak with an agent directly. To keep yourself informed, be sure to ask important questions, such as:

Do I Have To Prepare Any Documents?

Learning about the documents you should prepare is necessary if you want the transaction to go smoothly. At DITO, we only ask for files that will help prove your identity, billing address, and financial capacity.

What Kind of Handset Can I Get With the Plan?

Ask about their options for the included handset. If you don’t like the device included in the plan, you can speak with the agent about what you should do to get another phone. In most cases, they will allow you to choose a different handset as long as you can pay a specific amount through cash-out or installment fees.

Are There Convenient Ways To Settle the Bills?

Make sure to clarify how you can receive and pay your bill. At DITO, you will receive your bill through email or text. Settling your dues is also convenient since you simply have to visit the nearest experience store or payment partner. You can also use the DITO App, so you don’t have to leave your house to pay your bill.
