In 2020, there were roughly 145 million pre-paid mobile subscriptions in the Philippines, reflecting a decrease from the previous year. Meanwhile, the number of post-paid subscribers in the country also declined in that year to 4.67 million. Pre-paid subscriptions remain as the cheaper option when getting a mobile subscription in the Philippines because of the flexibility and wider range of promos offered to consumers.
