I don’t have any info as to when it started but I know the promo ends on August 31, 2009. It’s only limited to callers within Cebu as well so if you registered to the service when you are in Cebu and travels to, say, Leyte, you will not be able to avail it even if you use the start code a zillion times.I’m talking about Smart Talk unlimited calls promo available to both Smart and Talk ‘n Text subscribers in Cebu.
Smart Talk unlimited can be availed for five days or thirty, it costs 100 pesos and 500 pesos respectively. The 500 -peso denomination makes it cheaper at around 17 pesos a day compared to the 20 peso a day rate for the 100-peso denomination. To avail of either one, you just need to text TALK100 or TALK500 to 6400. Once you get the confirmation then you’re good to go.
The promo is only for Smart and Talk ‘n Text subscribers so make sure you’re calling the right number. There is no info yet if they will charge you if you dial an incorrect number as the customer service representative from Smart I spoke with the other day sounds like they are not yet briefed about this new promo. You have to use a star code which is *6400 in making a call. The exact format is *6400 + the 11 digit cell phone number. If you wanna call 09184729271, then you have to dial *640009184729271. When the network is experiencing high volume of calls, you may hear a busy signal even though the person you are calling is available. I confirmed this by calling someone using their 11 digit number.
I want to assume this is Smart’s answer to the growing wireless land line services offered by Bayantel, PLDT as well as Globe. I’, hoping this would be a permanent rate and wish that this promo is also available in the provinces so my friends would switch back to Smart and ditch their Sun (impossible as it may seem).

@bendzg-yah right! according to the Consumer group Consumer Complaints Center, Inc. has filed a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) against Smart Communications, Inc.’s promo “Smartalk,” calling it “deceptive” and “confusing.” Consumer Complaints Center President Vicente F. Gambito said his group has been receiving complaints about smartalk on the supposed poor service of the unlimited voice call promo smartalk. Mr. Gambito claimed the service bogged down during the first two weeks of implementation of smartalk, and that the *6400 service was unavailable for reasons such as the “phone was unattended” or “phone is outside of the coverage area”, but a connection could be made to an non Smartalk number using a regular call without the use of the prefix *6400 of smartalk. Also, attempts to subscribe to Smartalk during the period only resulted in receiving delayed messages saying the promo was unavailable at the time the registration was made.
smartalk is another poor service from smart
