We got the word from Smart’s External Relations Manager for Public Affairs (Wo Rosete) that the telco will start accepting pre-orders of the
Samsung Galaxy S3 on May 23, 2012. This is smack right in the middle of our original May 22-24 launch date we got from Samsung Philippines.
Though they did not specify which plans it will be free, we estimate it will be given away at these plans with no cash-out:
- Smart Unli Data Plan 3000
- Smart Unli Data Plan 4000
- Smart All-In Plan 3500
No word on suggested retail price of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (and we don’t think Smart will sell them with a Prepaid Kit).
hold your breath samsung s3 fans...globe telecom will also release this unit
save and get your phone pre order this may 23!!!!!
