Hello, ask ko lang po kung nag postpaid po ba kayo or prepaid sa phones nyo pagdating sa Australia? Iniisip ko po kasi kung sulit ung postpaid since gagamitin naman, baka di nagkakalayo gastos sa prepaid.
danyan2001usMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,536Member, Moderator Joined: Nov 14, 2012
@powmic23 ...mas maganda ang postpaid dahil may free phone unit kaya lang may fix ka na babayaran every month usually at 24 months contract.....
