I’ve written about the features and specs of PLDT’s newest Telpad offering that features the Huawei Ideos S7 Slim Android tablet. Now if you have questions about the device and the service, I have here an excerpt of the Frequently Asked Questions section posted on PLDT Telpad’s product page. I only chose the things I believe most people will ask about the service.
| THE ACCOUNT | |
| Who can get a PLDT Telpad? | Existing PLDT myDSL subscribers who are willing to upgrade to any of the 4 Telpad Plans. |
| What about non-PLDT subscribers? | They have to apply first for a PLDT landline and DSL. Once the DSL service has been installed, subscriber may request for an upgrade to the Telpad plan. |
| Can I buy a PLDT Telpad? | No. The Telpad is given to the PLDT Telpad Plan subscriber to be used for free for the entire duration of the subscription. |
| Is the Telpad mine after the lock-in period? | No. just like the regular PLDT landline handset, the Telpad remains to the property of PLDT. |
| What if the Telpad breaks down after the lock-in period? Most electronics only have a lifespan of 2-3 years. | PLDT will be coming up with a retention program similar to that of cellular phone companies. |
| What if I want to get another Telpad unit, how much do I pay and what does it include? | Additional unit requests are not yet available at this time. |
| If my company has a landline and DSL, can i get a Telpad? | Not at this time. The Telpad is currently being offered to residential subscribers. |
| THE DEVICE | |
| What is a Telpad? How is it different from a typical landline or desk phone? | Telpad is a wired landline phone and Andriod table all in one. Unlike your ordinary telephone, you can do a lot more than make calls with the Telpad. Its other features allow you to browse the internet, play, multimedia and entertainment files such as videos, music, photos and games. |
| What does the package include? | It includes eight items. 1. Handset 2. Docking Station 3. Tablet 4. Power Adapter 5. RJ-9 Telephone Coil Cord 6. RJ-11 Telephone Cord 7. Micro USB Cable 8. User Manual |

| Does the Telpad support 3G? | At present, there is only a WiFi model of the Telpad |
| How long is the battery operating hours of the Telpad tablet? | The Telpad tablet runs for 40 hours standby time, approximately 4 hours when playing video |
| Can I charge my Telpad tablet with the USB port? | Yes, although USB ports are usually not enough for charging the Telpad due to the electric design of the tablet and the amount of current a USB port typically supplies. |
| THE SOFTWARE | |
| Can I upgrade my Android™ version to the latest version? | No. This Telpad model cannot be upgraded to the latest Android™ version. PLDT, however, will be coming up with retention plans and upgrade options once other units are available. |
| What software or applications will PLDT support? | PLDT will only support and maintain the following specifications: 1. PLDT Homescreen 2. Dialer 3. Audio Manager 4. PLDT@Home, Ask PLDT, PLDT Bill. Software Updates for the PLDT Homscreen, Dialer, and Audio Manager will be made available at the Andy Market. |
| HOW TO USE | |
| How would I lock and unlock the Telpad tablet? | To Lock: Click the power button once and you will know that the tablet is locked when the backlights turns off. To Unlock: Click the power button once and touch the lock icon on your screen and slide upward. The home screen will appear once the tablet is unlocked. |
| Where will be the default storage for contacts? | The Telpad’s built-in memory will be the default storage for your contacts. You MUST back-up your contacts before factory resetting the Telpad as you may lose important information. |
| Can I connect a mouse or keyboard to the Telpad tablet? | Yes, you can connect an external keyboard or mouse to the tablet but it can only be functional on selected applications. Not all external mouse or keyboard are compatible with the device. |
| Does the Telpad come with an SD card? | No. The onboard memory of the Telpad will only be 2GB from T-Flash. Note that an SD card is also needed to store more information for other applications to work like camera, e-book reader, games and other download applications. |
| THE CALLING | |
| Can I call using the handset and Telpad tablet dialer at the same time? | No. You can only use one mode at a time. However you could swap from a private call (handset) to the tablet and vice versa. |
| Can I make a call when the Telpad tablet is not docked? | Yes, you can do this but using your handset keypad (Line1). Calling using the Telpad tablet (while not resting on the docking station) is not yet available on Telpad’s current offering. When the VoIP (Line2) service becomes available, only then you make calls directly from the tablet if it is docked. |
| What are the two active lines in using the Dialer? | Line1: Landline Line2: VoIP (Voice over internet protocol)* *Available Soon |

Help Me! My PLDT TELPAD is Not Charging Anywhere!
2zHH46Y3Kh
I am now a subscriber to pldt plan 1299 pesos per month, by which I
get a landline telephone connection and a dsl internet connection; it is all
right compared to what I used to suffer with Globe wireless landline and
internet access; that does not mean that I am altogether happy with pldt,
though: but that is the situation in the country and I can’t do anything about
it because that is not my job, on the other hand, we do have a useless corrupt
government because our politicians are corrupt, very very very very very corrupt.
Now, tell me, how much will I save if I get a tablet and get a wifi service,
but not accepting the pldt telpad offer.
Help, paano po ayusin ang no command?
Ganyan din ang nagyari sa telpad ko no command hope na may reply na ang pldt tech. Please reply.. now..

para sa mga nagblackout bgla ung telpad, then pag ioopen, ung logo lang ng pldt ung lumalabas. Press niyo ung power + volume down kapag nagvibrate, bitawan niyo ung power then continue lang ung pag press sa volume down hanggan sa lumabas ung android na nakahiga, it means “resting” and nakalagay pa sa baba, “no command” after that click nio ung power para lumabas ung pag pipilian, volume down para pumili kung alin don, press “factory reset/wipe out” then after non magpoprocess un tapos lalabas ulit ung pagpipilian then click nio ung reboot now. Then wait niyo lang. Mag oopen na yan :)) Goodluck guys! :)

Nightmare talaga ang telpad ko. Una nakumbinsi ako ng bading na marketer sa tawag nya na upgrade aki kasi daw bibilis ang signal ko, bukod doon quadcore daw ang tellad, ad may free cp pa daw… oo agad ako, at sabi ideliver within 2 wks. In short, nadeliver yung telpad at nagmamadali daw yung nagiwan nito. Wala naman yung sabi na free cp, dual core kng ang tablet, at worst parang lalo pang bumagal net ko. Halos 1 month ako matyaga tumatawag sa PLDT na nagmamakaawa, kasi need ko talaga ang net. Hayop talaga at puro palpak ang gumawa. Ok, gumagana na pero sa araw lng, nagtyagaan ko na kasi andyan na e, ang problema nung isang araw lng nagshutdown yung tellad, ayaw na gumana. Nabubwisit na ako, di ko alam kung sino tatawagan at ano number tatawagan sa PLDT. Gusto ko nang paghahampasin ang mga ito, sirang sira bawat araw ko dito.
Ung telpad nagamit lng at until 2nd week… now hindi na magamit kc always na naka line 2. hindi na magamit ang line 1, pra naring useless ung pad.. and balik gmit ka nanaman sa phone.. what their actually proposed about telpad is really opposite.. prang bininta lng nla ung pad.. ang nothing happen also sa upgrading ng internet, kundi ung monthly bill mo lng ang nabago. pangit din ang mga features ng pad.. local maxado. pra kang bumili ng china tab sa side walk… kinuha nmin ung offer sa telpad.. dahil sa uses ng telephone, na pwd gamitin ung pad without docking on telephone.. and u can call anywhere in mindanao, from phone to phone and now i found out.. na hindi pa pla available un… what our fault is.. we search after we avail the unit -_- kc nga dami na ng lapses and its really useless.. to all who wants to avail….. wag na lng..stick to ur old telephone and buy tab alone. u can choose a good unit pa.
Ask ko po pano maibalik sa line 1ng tab kc ayaw ma click . Lagi naka line 2 . La na dial tone di na magamit ang phone.
ask ko lng po kng ano gagawin, nagfoforce close po ung google play store so niresstart ko po tapos di na po sia mabuhay lagi nlabas ung ‘reset warning’ at di ko po alam kng pano ireset kasi ayaw nia mabuhay..tnx po
Doon po sa tab, paano po ba ilipat line 2 to line 1 and ayaw po mapindot ang keypad . sana po magreply po kayo!
Hi, ask ko lang do kasi naming matouch ang dialer ng tab kapag nakabit as telephone. Paano po ba ang gagawin?

1. Will someone let me know how long does it take to re-charge the docking station battery w/c is1000mAh?
2. Sana meron itong display (dock station) or changing lights if it turns blue means fully charge, when it turns yellow it means near drain if it goes red it means totally drain, then this maybe the time when i need to plug it again to re-charge the battery of the dock station.
3. Is it ok to contineouslly plug it from the outlet source (im referring to dock station) even if it uses a re-chargeable battery?
