Smart Puts Load in Spam

Free Smart Load in Spam

We all hate mobile spam, but what if mobile spam came with prepaid load? Would you hate it so much then?

That’s the question posed by Smart as they launch their new ad-supported mobile service, U Mobile. The service launches publicly in June, but I’ve been testing it since Tuesday. I’ve posted my initial impressions over on my other blog.

    Opt-in spam is not spam anymore? Or “slightly more permissible spam?” Can’t decide.

    Jayvee Fernandez says U Mobile will give you only up to PhP350 of ad-supported load per month.

    How many ads should you have to see to get that small subsidy? I say four per day, no more.
