We attended a meeting among PAPTELCO Mindanao Operators with PLDT/Smart Carrier Business group headed by Ms. Edith G. Gomez (AVP – Carrier Business), Mr. Bernie Domasing (Mgr – Carrier Business) and Mr. Randee Palasigue (Account Associate). PLDT/Smart presented to PAPTELCO several products: Content Service, Branded SIM, (Wifi) Access Points and Paymaya. I will just focus on one product – Branded SIM.
Branded SIM is a Smart prepaid SIM with this special feature cellphone users can call up to 5 enrolled CAMTECO landline numbers anywhere in Camiguin. PLDT/Smart also assured that Emergency Numbers e.g. Fire can be dialed from the cellphone. Ms. Gomez also assured that this service will not be available to Philcom-PLDT subscribers.
With CAMTECO planning to put up its own local mobile network, this is a good product to cushion the competition from Philcom-PLDT rollout in Camiguin.
If the Board of Directors catch the vision, there’s hope for CAMTECO to bounce back.
