Talo na naman ang postpaid subs. The only work-around that I could think of is to downgrade your current plan to the lowest possible, and then get a prepaid SIM.
INTEGRITY
Without it...
Everything else is irrelevant. |

12. What are the advantages over Smart’s 25/8 and Sun’s 24/7?
Our advantage over SUN:
• Globe enrollment is easier because you just need to text to activate vs. Sun's special call cards
• Duration of GHP-GHP Calls is 30 minutes vs. Sun's 15 minutes
• GHP has only ONE PLAN to enjoy unlimited call & text
Our advantage over SMART:
• GHP enrollment is easier because you just need to remember ONE access no. vs. Smart's different access numbers for text or call
• GHP offers Unlimited Call and Text vs. Smart's Call or Text
• Duration of GHP-GHP Calls is 30 minutes vs. Smart's 5 minutes
• GHP-GHP calls are faster to make, no need to memorize access numbers! With Smart, if you call another Smart subscriber, you need to pass through an Access No. and wait for a call back before you can actually talk to the person you called.
GLOBE’S ADVANTAGE:

i-announce sa newspaper?
Gusto mo bang mangyari sa globe yung nangyari sa promo ng smart?
I think this is really more of a test of their system rather than a real promo that's why they never marketed it. Word of mouth lang naman kumalat yan e, at sa internet. |

Globe to stop unlimited service promo
By ANNA BARBARA L. LORENZO, Reporter
Ayala-led Globe Telecom, Inc. is ditching the "buffet" pricing scheme, leaving what is seen to be a new niche in the telecom market in the hands of its competitors.
After a month-long unlimited call and text promotion for the Touch Mobile brand, Globe President Gerardo Ablaza said the offering resulted in service quality which is "not acceptable" for the second largest cellular player. "In our experience, we could see that the behavior of our consumers with the unlimited promo brings about a quality performance similar to our competitors’, which is not an acceptable level of quality for us," he told reporters following Globe’s annual stockholders’ meeting yesterday.
Mr. Ablaza said the company has no plan to continue the unlimited call and text promo for Touch Mobile.
Globe joined the price war last month through Touch Mobile for a subscription fee of P300 valid for 30 days.
The offer was similar to the 24/7 unlimited plan of Gokongwei-led Sun Cellular. Smart Communications, Inc., the leading mobile player, launched its own unlimited promo immediately after Touch Mobile announced its plan.
Mr. Ablaza said the promo allowed the company to study the market’s behavior. "Pricing is an evolving situation. We tried to understand the behavior of consumers in the unlimited model and in our conclusion, this kind of pricing paradigm is unsustainable if we are to commit to a certain minimum level of quality any consumer is entitled to," he said.
With proof that unlimited mobile communications services result in network congestion, Globe urged the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to be "fair and consistent" in implementing service standards.
As regulator, the NTC sets the standards requiring telcos to have a success rate of 97% and a drop call rate of 5%.
Mr. Ablaza recalled that some years back, the NTC warned Globe it would be stopped from selling its services if it fails to improve its network. "We are not saying that they [rivals] should not exist. We just want fairness and consistency and that they be subject to the same rules," he said.
An analyst said Globe’s trial period for the unlimited services showed it would be better for the company to just focus on its own market segment. "It was a test on their part to see if they could tap the low end of the market. This is an indication they were not that successful. It would be wise to concentrate on their niche, the high-end users, to generate revenues," he said.
Mr. Ablaza said subscriber take-up this year is not expected to be as robust as in the previous years as cellular penetration rate nears 40%. He said the promo for Touch Mobile was not intended to get more new subscribers.
"Mobile growth in the next 12 to 18 months is not likely to continue at the same pace that we saw in the past four years. The driver of the business will not be focused on subscriber growth. We should start looking at usage and the revenues we generate and not on the subscriber base."
Meanwhile, Chief Finance Officer Delfin Gonzalez said Globe will settle at least $170 million worth of loans maturing this year.
The company, which makes an average of $600 million in cash from operations, will pay the debts with internally generated funds.
With the strengthening of the local currency against the dollar, Mr. Gonzalez said Globe is likely to book between P450 million and P500 million in forex gains.
"Half of our loans, about $450 million, is still exposed to dollars. With every P1 appreciation, we will have P450 million to P500 million in forex gains," Mr. Gonzalez said.
He said there will also be forex losses on dollar revenue side but said it will just have a minor impact since the company makes only about $60 million in dollar-denominated sales quarterly.
