azar tlga yang GLOBE na yan.. pati tau nadamay.. mag-SUN n lng tau lhat para bumalik ang old rates ng GLOBE!!!
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:31 am
Good thing about cellular network competition consumers ang nanalo, before we had 1 pero per text lang… then sun cellular came, ayan nauso na unlimitxt and cols, then after a few months nag gayahan na iba.
Its all about marketing strategy, if maraming lilipat ng ibang network from globe, ibabalik nila ang dati nilang price.. taadaann!!
February 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 pm
yah right a strategy..let’s all use sun cel now…this is too much! ! !
February 3rd, 2007 at 9:33 pm

Ok guys don’t fret beacause the NTC suspends Globe Unlitxt SMS promo last monday, NTC deputy commissioner Jorge Sarmiento confirmed that the agency ordered the mobile phone operator to stop implementing the promo pending a public hearing.
“The NTC stopped the promo this [Monday] morning and will schedule a public hearing,”
heres the article
http://technology.inquirer.net/infotech/infotech/view_article.php?article_id=47603
So globe users should be experiencing the old unlimited txt promo priced at P10 for one day, P25 for two days and P50 for five days.
February 7th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
But still, GLOBE is not complying with the suspension order despite the NTC’s order.
Reports says that Globe Telecom said it will not suspend its latest unlimited text service due to legal constraints
“There are legal and other compelling reasons why we can’t comply with the order. We will file a motion for reconsideration tomorrow (Wednesday),” said Globe senior vice president Rodolfo Salalima.
and also the Globe official will also question the legality of the NTC order. An order from the telecoms regulator is typically signed by the commissioner and two deputy commissioners but the February 5 was signed only by commissioner Abraham Abesamis.

kala ko ba may sanction na ang NTC bat may commercial promo pa rin sa TV??? Ano na balita sa order ng NTC???
Well guys, I will tell you a telecom secret… an SMS message service is only an added features of a mobile
phone. Old days, walang bayad ang SMS kasi wala ka namang bandwidth na binabayaran pag ginamit mo to unlike
calls. Sa communication kc bandwidth and frequency ang binabayaran kc resources un.
to make it short… if you are using a SMS service same thing lang din un ng pag-miss call lang… so dapat
talaga libre… dito lang sinisingil…
1 SMS(160 char) = 1 Miss Call.
