MANILA, Philippines–Telecommunications giant Sun Cellular is teaming up with Norwegian-based software Opera to give Filipinos the “cheapest” internet access at P15 per day.

He said that the latest offer is “not just an affordable access to the internet” but will “also lead them to experience a fast and efficient mobile web browser” through the Opera Mini browser.

Opera chief executive officer Lars Boilseen said the Opera Mini is a “perfect supplement” to Sun Cellular’s affordable and high speed third-generation connectivity.

“Regardless of the smartphone platform of users, they will find this a value-added experience to mobile internet browsing even without having to spend much,” he said.
