slut^kill3r Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 i switched to smart rin because globe has been sending unsolicited promotional messages! if dont want to receive messages like that from them you have to reply "off" but they will charge you for that reply and after replying "off" they will send you a new one! got tired of it and complained about to them, they said that i wont receive anymore messages like those. but i still did! so i went to sm and saw a sim swap booth! good riddance!!!! Same lang din nmn. SMART does send unsolicited SMS as well. Like ringtone subscriptions etc... Kaya gnun din... :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
slut^kill3r Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yap i agree, Sun is much affordable and walang bitin we used that in our business all my men using suncell kahit tawagan time to time di mabigat before its hard to have signal in SUNCELL but now its easy find even in the province Definitely untrue... I live somewhere in QC. To get a signal, I'd still have to go outside our house tapos di pa full bar un, sometimes 2 bars only sometimes 1 bar tapos nawawala-wala pa... I've tried also going on the roof top of a bldg in Makati, pati dun nawawala-wala ang signal... :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
cool_kojie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 YES, it's a big RIP-OFF...., only in the Philippines can they pull it off... I had my Visibility account since Dec. 4, 2006, The GLOBE/Ayala group should be XXXXXXXX, misleading consumers and its loyal clients........ Yeah What A waste of money. I cut off my PLDT DSL Connection Thinking that this would be much better. I was mad at PLDT because they cannot do anything with my dsl connection all they said that my internal phone wires which goes around house is the problem and I have to fix that before they can fix my DSL. Shucks that would cost a bundle just to do that. kaya the hell with it cut of my DSL and I will go to globe. BAD Mistake I thought It would be cheaper. Now I am Paying 2000 pesos a month for a speed less than dial up. And If I terminate the contract I will pay globe another 10 K. Wow good Business for them bad forus consumer. I will go to Globe business center to have my service cut off even if I pay the 10 K. Totally useless service. I am really pissed off that I intend to cut off my mobile service with them also which I have for over 10 years now. Quote Link to comment

Maybe if you complain na hindi mo nakukuha yung service na inoffer nila you can have the fee waived... bad trip naman yun, parang gimmick para kumita sila sa mga mag papa disconnect sa asar... I had the same experience with pldt weroam, slower than dialup, buti prepaid account lang kinuha ko, unfortunately yung card binili ng 10k. Siguro pwede yan pang e-mail lang, not even webmail, pop3 lang talaga. Quote Link to comment

Asar talaga its a trap for us consumers wanting better service. Good business for them parang scam talaga. I wish I can report them to someone. NTC kasi useless din. Ala ginagawa sa mga compalints.

cool_kojie Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hey guys, I dont know what happened but now I am getting pretty good speed on globe visibility. I was about to go to the business center to terminate my contract but when i tested it just to make sure. I am getting good speed. Siguro I am averaging 300 to 700 kbps not bad actually. Its faster than mydestiny cable installed last friday. Yung inconsistent ang speed minsan mabilis minsan mabagal. I complained already sa customer service nila and they said they are on a back up only kasi of the recent earthquake that happened in taiwan. I am not sure though kung alibi to. As of now I am hanging on sa visibility account ko if it is always this way then I am okey with it. Three days na and I am still getting good speed Quote Link to comment

loafer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 cno bang may wifi sa cellphone? do you know that you can use yahoo messeger to send txt to globe, smart and other local carrier subscriber for free? Have anyone tried it in their wifi cellphone? Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 been a subscriber with globe for six years...same peeves, same hassles but i've been sticking with it because simply i've got used to it... this january they gifted legacy subscribers with either a rebate on their monthly payments or a new higher-end cellphone, so i got a k800i, without any added extras or fees... i also have a smart line but i don't see any improvements between that and globe...nor do i see any other improvement in the entire telecommunications industry for that matter... just my $0.02 worth...

kenji_1989 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 My friend who is few blocks away applied for this " Globe SpeaknSurf" Well when I checked it out in her home, its quite cool. Unlike in Smart, the handset and unit will be delivered to you and just set it up. Which is really cool for me as a Smart Bro User Now, Ive tried surfing. Good. Friendster? Nah cant load it. Maintenance is not the reason. Ive just surfed in friendster 5minutes a while ago so that's not a reason. Download? Quite good but my connection beats it. Worst thing, if ever you are into some business and is frequent user of credit card and any valuable information, beware and be careful especially on your neighbor. Remeber Globelines uses a much real "wireless" connection. When I tried to access my friends files on her laptop (she knew it of course I just told her about this also thats why I showed her ^^), a little bit of tweaks and some progs, I have full access to her "My Computer" and all other documents. So basically, there is a chance that malicious softwares like keyloggers can be transfered, thus monitoring your keystrokes on any site. Thats why if ever youre into wireless internet, be sure you have reliable firewall and router. And always lock your network. Conclusion: It is good but be safe. If youre just for plain surfing online gaming, porn downloads , music, well, this is good for you. As for Smart Bro haters out there, Ive experienced hell months with Smart Bro. Believe me, everything new in Philippine technology and other technology, there is always and always be problems. Just like this my friend right now who experience internet slowdowns. I beat her downstream and upload rate despite the criticism that my ISP have. I can play online games with no lag. What really beats me is the connection stabilit which is advantage in wired connections. Quote Link to comment
cool_kojie Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 HI CK, i'm still ok with my destiny. If things don't go your way then your last resort is to go to SKY+ZPDEE Goodluck Bro! Zpdee was my first option but they dont have cables laid out sa area ko so nag destiny ako. Inconsistent ang speed nya right now kasi nga daw di pa ayos yung mainstream line due to the earthquake. My globe visibility account naman is okey na naman now. Not as fast as my wired dsl before kasi I subcribe to the 3000 a month plan for 2 mbps. Really fast! However I am not a have user and its not really worth for me to have that speed to the time I spent online. Sobra lugi ako. Right now I am still waiting for Destiny to be better as they promised mga end of Feb pa raw sla normal. I will wait muna and decide. Thanks bro. Quote Link to comment
