Budget friendly options for college students

Heavy school work loads are not the only thing stressing out college students today.

Heavy school work loads are not the only thing stressing out college students today. The increasing costs of student living are also becoming a big factor. Every day, students spend for transportation, food, photocopying services for their required readings and school supplies, to name a few. Not to mention, they would also need to keep enough pesos for emergency expenses, gimik funds and mobile phone loads. And these mobile phone loads would not just go for calls and texts, more often than not, students already spend more for mobile internet and social media usage. Summing these up and then matching them to the average student allowance, it could be quite a challenge to do all the budgeting.

Good thing, Sun Cellular offers mobile internet services which are easy on the student budget and definitely give more bang for the buck. Coined as “iLoads”, students get to be online through their mobile phones for as low as P15 for one hour access and up to P999 for 30 days of unlimited internet access. Between these denominations, students may also enjoy internet for three (3) hours for just P25, one (1) day unlimited for only P50 and even at the unbeatable rates of just P100 for three (3) days unlimited and P250 for seven (7) days unlimited.

To avail any of these, students would just have to text the syntax to 247, e.g. i25 to 247. They may also opt to visit the nearest Sun Xpressload retailer and automatically top-up their accounts with any of these iLoads.

And the best thing about Sun Cellular’s iLoads i50 and i100 is that students can register to facilitate automatic load conversion to iLoads at regular intervals. For example, they can choose to register to the i50 every Monday by texting i50 ON to 2300 instead. Absolutely, there are no free cuts here!

In addition, for students who want to access specific online pages, Sun presents the “Forever Loads”. Through these best-value online content loads, students can enjoy unlimited access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, and even lifestyle sites like ClickTheCity and Sulit.com.ph for just P10 a day. They simply have to text FB10, TWITTER10, YAHOO10, CLICK10 or SULIT10 to 247.

Begin surfing by texting NET to 2300 to get free internet settings and then text SETTINGS to 2300 to get free handset configuration settings for mobile internet access. For more information on Sun Cellular iLoads and Forever Loads, call hotline 200 for free through a Sun mobile phone or (02) 395-8000 via landline.
