Sun Cellular's Message Plus

I was browsing through a broadsheet yesterday when I came to see a full page advertisement from mobile network Sun Cellular.

The ad features Sun Cellular's Message Plus, a revolutionary text or SMS messaging service that I am sure other cellular networks will soon match if they do not it have yet.

The messaging service, boasting to be the first in the Philippines, provide Text Divert, Auto Reply, Text Copy and Number Block messaging features to all Sun Cellular subscribers.




Text Divert allows all your text messages to other mobile numbers or even to e-mail addresses. Every diverted text message is charged 1 peso.

I think this is suitable for those who have left a position, let's say after a promotion. He or she can direct all communications related to his/her previous responsibility to the person who succeeded him/her.

Auto Reply works just like an e-mail autoresponder as it allows you to automatically reply to text messages when for example you are enjoying your vacation and can not attend to the concerns of the message sender for that time being.

Text Copy allows you to have duplicates of the messages you've received on other phones or e-mail address. This is great for records purposes like in business transactions. This is also charged at 1 Peso/message.

Number Block will surely be welcomed with open arms by those avoiding stalkers, overzealous sales personnel or compulsive message forwarders who just can't get the idea that you do not want to hear anything from them. Although the peace of mind they'll get is worth 15 Pesos a week or 50 pesos a month for blocking up to 20 unwanted numbers.

Instructions say you just have to DIAL *277# on your Sun Phone.

If you are a sun cellular subscriber, you might ought to check these service now. You could probably know more at Sun Cellular's website or thru their hotline number 395-8000.

Now, I think I got to find out where I placed my Sun SIM.
