As first reported in the Philippine Telco to bundle Eee PC with DSL post back in January 21, Philippine telcos Globe Telecom and Smart Communications are now bundling the Asus Eee PC with their services to attract new subscribers.
Per Buddy Blogs, Globe is offering a 384kpbs max broadband service + Asus Eee PC bundle at PhP1495 (roughly USD36) monthly (credit card payment) or PhP1620 (roughly USD39) monthly (cash) with a 24-month lock-in period.
The Asus Eee PC bundled model is a 2G Surf, which retails for about PhP16,000 (roughly USD385.54). Comparable unbundled DSL services runs about PhP900 monthly. So the extra 24 months x PhP595 = PhP14,280 (assuming credit card payment) is for the 2G Surf.
The offer was initially launched in the southern provinces of Cebu and Davao but is now also available in the capital region of Manila.
Rival Smart Communications also started advertising a bundle yesterday consisting of the Asus Eee PC 2G Surf + VGA cellphone promo. For PhP1800 monthly you get the Eee PC only. For PhP2,500 you get the Eee PC plus either a Nokia 2630 (VGA cam, FM radio) or the LG KU380 (1.3mpx cam).
