Press Release
Back-to-School 101 with SMART Buddy
[June 1, 2009/ Manila] - After two months of freedom, out-of-town trips, summer parties, and blissful relaxation, going back to school may not seem like the most exciting thing in the world. Each school year presents a different set of challenges that you have to tackle. Here are some tips from SMART Buddy to help you and your friends keep your academics in check.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Apart from your teachers, your friends or classmates are also good people to ask if you are unsure of a lesson or requirement. If you weren’t able to catch up with them at school, send them a text. SMART Buddy’s ALLTEXT promo allows you to send unlimited text messages to other SMART subscribers, and gives you an additional number of free texts to other networks.
Is your question too complicated to ask on a text message? Take advantage of SMART’s All Night Calls promo for only Php25, which allows you to make unlimited calls to any SMART or Talk ‘n Text subscriber from 11pm to 6am. Also included in the bundle are 100 SMS or MMS messages, plus 10 free texts to other networks.
Organize a group study. If you are not the only one who needs extra help with your academics, why not try to get together with your classmates and tackle the hard topics together? Meeting is a great way to learn from one another and collaborate for group projects.
If most of you don’t have the time to physically meet up, make use of SMART Uzzap, an all-in-one messaging service that you can install on your mobile phone or computer. It has no browsing charges or login, download and registration fees, and offers unlimited chat and e-mail with your buddies in the Uzzap community. You can even send SMS messages to other SMART subscribers from it, or access your contact lists from other messengers.
Encourage one other. When someone you know is nervous about an upcoming exam, you can help give them that positive boost! Be creative and send them an MMS —choose from many different options, and then add in your own message for that personal, friendly touch. SMART Buddy’s ALLTEXT MMS promo allows you to enjoy sending SMS or MMS messages to fellow subscribers at lower rates, as well as additional text messages to other networks.
At the end of the day, it’s about going the extra mile and taking that additional step to ensure that you have done your absolute best in all your classes. Once you have done this, you can be sure that you’ll experience a fun and fulfilling school year ahead and have stronger friendships in the process.
