Cheaper SMS Cost in the Philippines

Good news texters and SMS fanatics from Philippines! After the 8th State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, call and text messaging companies announced the cheaper SMS cost ever in the history of texting. Smart, Sun and Globe announces the P0.50/text rate to all networks. Actually, this was announced by the President during his speech.

What now? What it will do to my goal on buying an iPhone 3G in the Philippines? Well at least it will cut my SMS expenses into half. In this way, it will give me a chance to save money and eventually raise fund to reach my iPhone 3G goal. The sad part about this announcement is that, it is not a permanent rate for the said companies because its just a promotional ads of this companies which will end by last week of October this year. People are not really conviced about this "achievement" on making the "not necessity site items" of their daily lives to be given attention. Oh well I'm not a political guy and I don't want to comment about this. All I want is to raise enough green leafy paper money to reach my iPhone 3G dream.

Text now and pay half today, Good day! :D
