How much is the rate for calling a landline using Smart/TNT?
Calling a telephone number using your Smart or TNT prepaid number will cost Php7.50 per minute. Definitely not cheap, so it’s best to make your landline call fast and clear before you run out of prepaid load.

Is there a Smart, TNT promo for landline calls?
Unfortunately, none of Smart and TNT promos currently offer call allocation for landline numbers. So, when making calls, you have no choice but to pay the Php7.50/minute fee.
What promos are available for Smart and TNT prepaid subscribers?
Since the standard rate for landline calls is expensive, you might want to resort to other ways of communication to reach someone. It can be through mobile phone calls, SMS messages, or online. Fortunately, there are a lot of Smart prepaid promos and TNT promos available to choose from.
