ALLTxt Combo Plus - Update Your Facebook/Twitter/Friendster via Text from Smart Buddy Using Any Mobile Phone

Smart Buddy is riding on the social media explosion by offering its ALLTxtComboPlus prepaid cellphone product.

This product allow Smart Subsribers to post updates to their Facebook/Twitter/Friendster accounts using ANY mobile phone via texting or SMS.

Costs only 25 pesos and good for one day.(1 Peso prepaid credit maintaining balance needed).

Here are the info I gathered when I texted PLUS to 2526.

Step 1: Visit www.smart.com.ph/buddy/alltxtcomboplus to link your cellphone to your Facebook/Twitter/Friendster account.

Step 2: Avail of the ALLTxTComboPlus by texting FB25 to 2526. ( 25 Peso Prepaid Cellphone Credits needed) You will get 100 Smart SMS/MMS + 10 all-network SMS + 5 mins (Call) + 40txts to either Facebook or Twitter or Friendster.

Promo is until October 31.

Smart did an ingenious way of maximizing social network and mobile service. To avail of the service, you will be required to register your Smart CP number, and add Smart to your social media account.

I tried the ALLTxtComboPlus for my twitter account. As I understand it, I am given 10 times to post tweets via text and will receive 30 notifications when there are tweets from people I follow.

For me to send TWEETs, I must txt TW [tweet] & send it to 2526. To check my texts to twitter, I need to send ETXT to 2526. 1 Peso balance is needed.

Ordinary mobile phones can now be used for Social media just like smartphones. I think majority of Filipinos still uses ordinary mobile phones. And this service would be truly awesome if you can access all 3 or other social media accounts in one registration only.

But this is still a nice move from Smart. Globe, Sun are you reading this?
