I used to have a mobile landline before with another provider but I had it disconnected last year.
Months after, I realized that I still need a mobile landline number to be even more reachable. Some companies would always call me on my landline number at home (not my mobile, for some strange reason) and even friends who are too kuripot too call me on my mobile would still ask for my landline. Thing is, I am always on the GO, so nobody would answer my home office’s number. I’ve been tempted before to get a PLDT Plus Landline that is linked to my house’s landline number but my mom already beat me to it.
Two weeks ago, Thomas, my good friend from PLDT gave me a PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid SIM card to try it out. I was hesitant to get one before because I heard some bad comments like “calls are not that clear, it’s like using a mobile phone” or “hindi sulit ang load“. But now that I have one, I might as well use it.
HOW TO SETUP YOUR PLDT LANDLINE PLUS PREPAID
I followed the steps found in the User Guide and it’s actually quite simple. First, I inserted the PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid SIM Card to my Cherry Mobile Flare HD.
Next, I topped-up my PLDT Landline Prepaid with a Php 300 Landline Load Card. Dialed 101212 + PIN found on the card and a voice recording confirmed that I have successfully loaded Php 300 to my account.
Lastly, with load I’ve topped-up earlier, I subscribed to Plan 300. All I needed to do was dial #101*300 using my PLDT Landline Prepaid Plus and a voice recording confirmed my selected Plan. According to the PLDT Home website, Plan 300 comes with 30 day incoming call service and FREE 600 minutes worth of local minutes. That’s roughly 10 hours of calls on a landline.
HOW WERE THE CALLS?
I made several minutes of calls and they were all fine. As far as I know, the PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid is using Smart’s GSM signal so it should work most of the time. It is not as excellent as using a wired landline at my home office, but at least it works.
IT’S NOT JUST A LANDLINE
PLDT uses a regular SIM card so you don’t need any adapters. You can use it with any GSM mobile phone. Heck, it can even work with an old phone like a Nokia 5110!
But if you want to surf the internet, just insert the PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid to a smartphone and tablet, top-up some more credits and you can be online in seconds.
Soon, you will also be able to surf the net using the PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid with a Smartphone or Tablet. When that happens, you’ll know it first here!
RATES
The SIM card only costs Php 100 and you can top-up with a PLDT Landline Prepaid or via electronic load from your favorite suking tindahan. The rates can be found here. Take note that the landline prepaid card does not act like your mobile phone prepaid account. If the Php 300 load expires, you will need to top-up again, otherwise the landline number will be deactivated.
IS IT WORTH IT?
Personally, I think paying Php 300 for 10 hours worth of local minutes is not bad at all. I can now contact offices that do not use mobile phones, like banks or service providers. And more importantly, I can be reached through my mobile landline wherever I go, as long as I am within Metro Manila. My kuripot friends will be very happy to call me on my PLDT Landline Plus Prepaid to bug me anytime they want!
Thanks for sharing your experience Reggie!
The PLDT Landline Plus Postpaid variant has unlimited calls & unlimited surf services! http://pldthome.com/pldt-home-call/landline-plus/postpaid
Is it required to have a monthly plan? If loadan lang ng 50 okay na ba yun? Thanks
does it have limits in call time? Like when you are talking on the phone you get cut after 15 minutes?
Sir sayang wala na ang bayantel prepaid landline… mas maganda ang feature nun, landline with txting at ang load P200 good for 75 days and yun unused load madadagdag for your next load with IDD at NDD pa. sayang… nabili na kasi ng globe at pinapalit nila sim card globe ABSCBN. Landline ko po yun for 5 years. PLDT prepaid sana extened ang life ng load not just 1 month.
When it will be expired of the sim card if you are not reload for 300?
Thanks & God bless!
Can the pldt landline sim be used on a Smart telecoms locked phone without the need for unlocking it professionally?
Yes. I was surprised too when it worked on my Smart locked Nokia.
Is your landline still active? I’m one of your kuripot friends. n_n
Let’s talk soon man.

I bought a new pldt landline plus prepaid and was only credited 50.00 on my first 300 plan. I thought
300 plan has 10 hours free call but for the first load it did not mean that way. Pldt did not explain it well that I will just be loaded a P50.00 for 300 plan.
texting with pldt landline plus prepaid has problems. sometimes, text messages do not come in, or there is no message but only the other party’s ID appear.
and calling their customer service takes forever – you have to wait for at least 10 minutes to be connected. be prepared to be on hold for 20+ minutes.
THEN, WHY PLDT ON BOHOL, HAD A BAD PLDT LANDLINE PLUS? INFACT, I GOT TO PURCHASED ON IT, ONE LANDLINE PLUS SIM, AND I’M DIDN’T EVEN USED TO THIS DAY JANUARY 25 2016 FROM THE PURCHASED ON JUNE 29 2015. IT IS ALMOST ONE YEAR. AND NOBODY PLDT PERSONNEL CAME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. EVEN IN THEIR PLDT OFFICE, THEY ONLY SAYS, “THEY WILL FOLLOW UP”. I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY WHERE CONDUCT A FOLLOW UP AND UNTIL NOW, THEY STILL ON FOLLOW UP. IT SO DISGUSTING ON MY PART, THE THINGS DONE ON THE PLDT PERSONNEL. EVEN I CALLED TO THIER PLDT CUSTOMER CARE, THEY WILL JUST ANSWER ME. “SIR, I CAN’T ASSIST YOU, BECAUSE I WILL ONLY ASSIST YOU, IF YOUR PLDT LANDLINE SIM PLUS IS GOT A SIGNAL”. OHHHH MY GOD! HOW THERE YOU PEOPLE. YOU DON’T EVEN MIND THE TIME LENGTH OF HAVING TIME ON WAITING. MY GOODNESS PEOPLE ON PLDT. WHY YOU ARE LIKE THAT! YOU BEEN WAISTING MY TIME ON KEEPING ON GOING TO PLDT OFFICE ON TAGBILARAN, AND DON’T EVEN HAVE A BENEFIT. NOT ONLY THAT, YOU ARE WAISTING MY EFFORT ON BUYING A BULSHIT SIM YOU SELL ON ME. AND NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE A LOAD 300 FOR A NONE SENSE PLDT LANDLINE SIM PLUS YOU PROVIDE ME. HOPE YOU SOLVED YOUR OWN PROBLEM THERE PEOPLE AT PLDT. HOPE CORPORATE OWNERS, SEES ON THIS. THANK YOU!!!!
IT’S BAD TALAGA BUYING LANDLINE SIM PLUS IN BOHOL. IT’S MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND I CAN ATTEST ON THAT CUSTOMERS AROUND THE WORLD. I WILL STAND ON IT BRAVELY.
it’s a stupid experienced, I ever had. sorry to pldt. you even mind on that.
AND I CAN ASK AND WONDER WHY. BOHOL IS SO STUPID TOWN IN THE PHILIPPINES. NOT ONLY HAVE A HIGHER GASOLINE PRICE IT GOES TO 40 PESOS PER LITER, EVEN THE WORLD MARKET HAS A DOWNWARD PRICING. AND EVEN COMPARED TO CEBU AND OTHER PROVINCES, AND EVEN IN MINDANAO. WHY BOHOL, SO DARING. SO BORING WHEN IT COMES ON CONTROLLING THIS KIND OF BULSHIT THINGS THEY CAN NEVER CONTROL AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. EVEN BASIC COMMODITIES, JUST LIKE FISH IN FRESH MARKETS, AND ALL OTHER COMMODITIES GOES ON HIGHER AND HIGHER, WITHOUT CONTROLL. IT’S JUST LIKE COMPARED TO AN AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT CONTROL, AND INSIDE WILL GOT TO FALL ON A HIGHER CLIFF, BECAUSE OF NO CONTROL. IT IS JUST LIKE A SNAKE, BEHEADED AND NO HEAD AT ALL, THAT KEEPS ON DANCING WITHOUT MUSIC. ALL THIS WORDS THAT I SPEAK HERE IS INCLUDED IN THE TOP WONDERS IN BOHOL. THAT’S WHY I WONDERING WHY..
