This blog didn't have an invite to the recent launch of Cherry Prepaid, the newest mobile prepaid service from Cherry Philippines but it didn't stop the blog to ask these 12 questions that you might gonna see in other sites or on Cherry Prepaid site itself.
Good thing, officials from Cherry Prepaid gave me an opportunity as they answer these 12 questions which will help you if CP will be your next telco to depend on.
1. When is the arrival of the LTE version of the SIM?
Cherry Prepaid is now working on the availability of LTE version type of SIMs. We will announce right away soon as the LTE SIMs becomes available.
