SMART announced just recently that it’s also imposing its new “anti-bill shock feature” to selected data plans that aims to end unexpected mobile internet charges to postpaid subscribers.

Those who are subscribed to Smart Data Lite 500, 800, 1000, and iPhone Plans 999 and 2499 will have a bill capped at Php 1,200 on top of its monthly service fee. To put this into perspective, iPhone Plan 999 subscribers for example will be allocated 250MB worth of data consumable every month. SMART says that “once the data allocation has been consumed, the regular charge of P10 for every 30 minutes of mobile Internet use will be billed”. The regular P10/30min charging will continue until the subscriber’s accumulated internet charges reach Php 1,200 – at which point, SMART will automatically switch the plan so it would work like with unlimited data or mobile internet.
