Best Mobile Network and Data Promo for Use in Uber Cebu |
A lot of partners are asking if which is the best mobile network operator and data promo to be used in Uber Cebu. In this post, i'll share to you what we have used (tried and tested) to give you an idea which network among the three options is better (if not best, if you are still undecided), and/or give you the best mobile data promo available for your network of choice.
Mobile Network Operators in Cebu
There are three mobile network operators in Cebu, Philippines. They are Globe Telecom, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular (technically two since Smart and Sun are now both under PLDT Group). Based on the recent data from OpenSignal.com, a leading source of insight into the coverage and performance of Mobile Operators worldwide, Globe is ranked #1 in Cebu (but Smart's reliability is slightly higher than Globe). However, we are using both networks and our verdict is that there is no significant difference between the two.
