Globe Unlimited Text (SMS) Price Hike

Filed under News

Globe has revised their unlimited text offering.

This after news of politicians planning to take advantage of unlimited texting for sending out election campaigns. Bottomline is that Globe has increased their unlimited texting rates. Here are the old Globe unlimited text scheme:

UNLIMITXT15 – all day unlimited texting for 1 day
UNLIMITXT25 – all day unlimited texting for 2 days
UNLIMITXT50 – all day unlimited texting for 5 days

versus the new Globe unlimited text scheme:

All day unlimited texting

UNLITXT20 – 1 day
UNLITXT40 – 2 days
UNLITXT80 – 4 days

For heavy daytime texters (from 8am – 4:59pm)

UNLITXTD15 – 1 day
UNLITXTD30 – 2 days

For nightshift texters (from 10pm – 7:59am)

UNLITXTN10 – 1 day
UNLITXTN20 – 2 days

For unlimited Globe to Globe texting and only 0.75 centavos when you text other networks

TXTPLUS25 – 1 day
TXTPLUS50 – 2 days

Aside from the price hike, subscribers now have 4 options. The difference between UNLITXT and TXTPLUS is that when you text other networks it will cost you 1 peso with UNLITXT whereas with TXTPLUS it’ll cost you just 75 centavos. All the keyword listed needs to be sent to 2870 to avail.

i second the motion…ang daya nila…it is just so unfair..
i guess i should use my sun simcard again…huhuhu…i used to unli my phone every week and now i will here this hike?..gosh..i really really hate it…!!!!
Carlo

azar tlga yang GLOBE na yan.. pati tau nadamay.. mag-SUN n lng tau lhat para bumalik ang old rates ng GLOBE!!!
drew

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!!
anthony

yah right a strategy..let’s all use sun cel now…this is too much! ! !
benz

dapat talaga tau bumalik sa sun unless gusto natin abusuhin pa tayo ng globe!!
esor

jenny

duh!!! kelangan ng smart na maglabas ng unlimited text promo na magko-cause sa globe to feel threatened (dahil baka magshift na ang mga tao sa smart!!) at para babaan na ulit nila ung price ng unlimited texting.. i dont care if politicians take advantage of the low cost of texting for their campaigns.. now globe’s taking advantage of politicians! haha.. duh! are we that idiotic para maniwala na politicians lang ang dahilan ng pagtaas ng price ng unlimited texting.. globe, pasalamat kayo at wala kaming choice!!!
him

franco

papa_kulfo

kaya nga nag-switch ako ng globe dahil akala ko mas makakamura at makakatipid ako pero buwakaw naman itong GLOBE Management. Switch back ulit ako sa SMART.

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.
drew

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.
aztig

lol… n bili na pow ng globe ang sun kya cla nag taas ng rate… so, smart nlng klbn nla!!!

john

kaya maraming cell site ng globe ang pinasasabog na npa dahil sa kasuwpangan nila sa mas marami pang cell site ang pasabugin ng mawala na ang globe isama na me pati ari.
Eka

Balik niyo naman na yung dating UNLI scheme. Mas kikita kayo diyan, kasi mas maraming magssunscribe kaysa sa ang mahal na rates. Marami akong kilala na lumipat ng ibang netwoprk dahil diyan eh, mga loyal Globians pa kami kasi ang astig ng service tapos biglang nagtaas na ng rates. Mahirap na ang buhay, wala ng pangload, pero lahat gustong magunilimited. Please?

tiffany

sayang talaga ang globe. ndi naman sila luge dun sa last unlimited texting charging nila. pero mas cheaper parin ang suncellular compared to other networks.. although there are times na congested ang network nila ndi naman ganun parati and they are having system enhancements narin.
tiffany

regarding sa ngyayaring load na nawawala without any reason, madalas din ngyari sa akin. siguro mga 4times ng ngyari sa akin and yet im still a loyal globe subscriber. mbabalik naman kaya lang mgaantay ka nga lang ng 5-7 working days. haaaay.. sana naman maiwasan tong ganito. ndi lang npupulot sa daan ung binibli naming load..
