Sun Cellular expanding its network coverage in the Mindanao area is a sign that the region is a significant area for development. Sun Cellular have seen the potential growth of Mindanao when it comes to business development. Mindanao is also a good place to market innovated products such as Sun Cellular’s call and text unlimited products.
People are wiser nowadays, we want or need to stay in touch with our loved ones and business partners without spending too much. Sun Cellular knows what the people want, thus making such services offered to their subscribers (P250 per month postpaid subscription). They are not just offering promos of unlimited text and calls but they are also improving their signal strength on key areas in Mindanao and also to those places where there are poor or no signal strength. This is to provide its subscribers wider network coverage and more reliable services especially in key areas in the region such as Davao, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro.
Network subscribers in the country already knows that Sun Cellular is the best value when it comes to services, but most people opt to acquire services from other networks because their business partners, families and friends are subscribed to other networks. But, that is not a problem anymore because Sun Cellular is now a member of the PLDT Group. That means Sun Cellular is connected to other networks like Smart and Talk N’ Text and other PLDT group member networks, interconnecting charges has already been eliminated making call and text charges super affordable. This move of Sun Cellular to join other networks is a good move to invite more subscribers to their networks.
Sun Cellular Chief Operating Officer Charles Lim says they will be strengthening their network coverage in areas of Mindanao to include Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Camiguin, Zamboanga, Tawi-Tawi, Dinagat Island, Compostela Valley, Sulu, parts of Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro and Davao del Sur among others . “The demand for our best-value products and services in Mindanao is immense, hence we prioritized this region in the initial phase of our network enhancement program for 2012,” he explained.
Lim added, “Sun is improving its signal strength in Mindanao to provide its subscribers wider network coverage and more reliable service especially in key areas in the region such as Davao, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro. We want those in Mindanao to optimize their experience of our unlimited call and text service, as well as the value-for money bucket load and postpaid plans that Sun has been providing its subscribers nationwide.”
Sun Cellular has been known for its best value product offering such as the Text Unlimited 150 which allows customers to text other Sun subscribers unlimited for 30 days and the Text Unlimited 200 which also includes 500 texts to other networks aside from the 30-day unlimited Sun-to-Sun texts. “Mindanao is an important market for us. Local and national officials from the region have been sending us letters on behalf of their constituents and we’d just like to say we have heeded their call ,” Lim enthused.
