Globe and Smart Unlimited text messaging temporarily suspended

December 30, 2008 by 21 Comments

The unlimited text messaging and voice call promotions of both Smart and Globe will be temporarily suspended this holiday season, the Philippines’ National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said.

The move was undertaken apparently to prevent network abuse during Christmas and New Year, the time when text messages and voice calls are expected to double, the NTC added.

Globe and Touch Mobile’s (TM) unlimited night calls will not be in effect starting 11 in the evening of December 30 up to six in the morning of January 1, 2009 while Smart’s All Text Combo with Unlimited Night Calling Promo will not be available on December 30, 31 and January 1, 2009.

Meanwhile, the top officials of the NTC, Smart Communications Inc., and Globe Telecom Inc. are facing a congressional inquiry for the purported suspension of call-and-text promo packages at the peak of the holiday season.

    F*cking a$$holes! All they think of is themselves. Here’s a hint, Mukamo members: DUMP THE BAST*RDS!!! Imagine if some kind of emergency situation befalls on you and you need emergency help during the time service is suspended and you can only communicate through using your cellphone! This is very unacceptable! They are robbing and short-changing the Filipino consumers once again. And why is there no legislation against this? And the bigger question is why are we taking this abuse?

    Unlitxt ako sa globe ngaun pati nung Christmas. Maaga lang ako nagregister at 5 days unlitxt. sinuwerte pala ako. hehe

    kayo naman hayaan nio na muna sila…siguro kaya ganun para mapagbigyan naman yung iba na makapasok sa network during that day. come to think of it, if ever kayo malagay sa position ng mga nasa ibang bansa na di makacontact just to greet their family kahit in a few minutes lang kasi sobrang busy ng network sa pinas. siguro that is why they used to suspend temporarily that promo. wag din kayong sakim noh…minsan ang tao pag pinagbibigyan masyadong umaabuso naman. wag ganun kaya nagkakakrisis sa atin eh…ok peace. happy new year to all1 (comment lang po walang personalan).

    What they did was right. Aanhin mo naman ang UNLIMITED TEXT AND CALLS kapag congested ang network diba?

    Dapat siguro sinabi muna nila sa PUBLIC na wala muna ang promo nila para walang miscommunication.

  • baLiw

    ahhh…kaya pala..

    pero sana naman nagbigay sila ng announcement sa mga subscribers..

  • boytawa

  • lolololmu

    hayy…sana they informed the public earlier para naman hndi tayo nagulat lahat..come to think of it okay din yung ganawa nila in a sense pero dahil nga mga pilipino tayo hndi ata basta basta papayag ang bung bayan na gawin nila yan even if there’s a good reason for doing so..nalungkot ako sa ginawang move ng companiesdapat siguro hiningi muna nila ang opinion ng public..on the other hand well,siguro good news ito sa mga OFWs mas makakausap na nila ang love ones nila in an easier way.hndi tulad ng dati na busy ang line..:)

    comment q lang po ito..peace :))

    Actually, the promos are the ones that are off this season, like it is said at the very beginning of the article “The unlimited text messaging
    and voice call promotions of both Smart and Globe will be temporarily suspended this holiday season.” It only said temporarily, not forever, and you can load up your phone, can you not use regular load for emergency? I mean you use load for texting or calling right? The promo was only introduce so that you won’t be having a hard time buying load and loading your phone all the time.
