hmmm, subjective but here goes...
Smart's GPRS IS FULLY operational as far as i'm concerned. Their HSCSD was unplugged already as i've announced last year pa and they're not bragging about it.
Compare Smart and Globe billing BEFORE you say Globe is cheaper.
I'm a subscriber of both. And Globe customer service SUCKS! At least with Smart, my complaints are handled WELL.
YMMV |

prepaid users
if you're a heavy txter, get smart...the more card you load, the more free txt you get (33 free txt for a 300peso smart call card)
if you're a heavy caller, get globe...its 3 pesos per min on globe to globe calls on OFF PEAK hours (10pm-8am & the whole Sunday)...globe only gives you a 50 free txt per month, regardless of how many & any amount of call card you load.

Just inquired with hub at rockwell. Globe has phased out the mobile phone of the year 4 2002, t68i. What a shame. But who can blame them? Nokia caters to the majority and that's where the money is. It's been 3 months from my last complaint with globe platinum. Its still under going investigation. Words are easy to say, actions hard to do. Don't say you'll call me back if you really won't. Globe, you made me feel what i usually do to girls i date when i was younger. Thanks for the karma. He he ;-)

i think they wont. well, i hope anyway!
i think that is why they have 2 APN's- one for wap, which is free; the other for web access, which is otherwise. |

Well guys, ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS be it good and bad,I have already experienced.Free gprs surfing and downloads with globe.Fast connections with Smart.Lousy Customer service with Globe.Fast and well handled complaints with Smart CS(they really call you back).
Some of course uses globe/smart due to availability of signal.WELL GUYS, WALANG TATALO DITO SA EXPERIENCE KO!
In our town here in Tarlac,globe and smart cellsites are just a kilometer apart.My place is around 2-3 kilometers from the two cellsites.I have a smart postpaid and a globe prepaid.Well both served my gprs needs.Smart mms really works.Fast activation.Globe mms really sucks.Still not activated for a month.Now lately, I am sure, you all have heard in the news that last Jan.15, the globe cellsite here in our place and another globe cellsite too 8 kilometers from the site were set on fire simultanously by NPA rebels.The reason?FOR NOT PAYING REVOLUTIONARY TAXES.The globe cellsite was burned leaving the tower totally OFF for an indefinite period of time.Take note,the smart cellsite is around a kilometer away from globe and the digitel cellsite is not yet operational and it is beside globe.Smart was not targeted and Digitel.Imagine guys, no signal.Intermittent signal sometimes.Maximum is 2 bars and even with gprs signal, still I could not connect.A real torture for me.Sometimes I have to go literally 18 kilometers to the city proper just to use my free gprs when the need arises.Everyminute of the day is really a torture with globe. With smart,it is a bliss.
Anybody care to beat that?
Yes, there is no perfect network with all the technological factors.But when certain factors like these(rebels,politics,terrorism) arises and becomes a reality IN YOUR RESPECTIVE AREAS(I HOPE NOT),the loser of course is the telecom with the weak connections(all aspects considered) and the end consumer.Come to think of it guys,why was Smart and Digitel spared?
GUYS, PLEASE DO PRAY THAT THE ABOVE INCIDENT WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN YOUR RESPECTIVE AREAS.

Well, I'm glad Globe doesn't pay 'ransom' money to NPA rebels. Supporting terrorism in ANY form is NOT good for our country. You're just giving them more reasons to continue doing what they do!
The fact that Smart (& Digitel?) were spared means that they care more about profit than the good of the nation. It's a very selfish reason to say "Well, I don't care as long as I have signal!"... that's dumb, and very self-centered of Smart to do that.
It's bad enough our country is branded as a terrorist haven... but to actually support them... that's just making things worse for the future.
...and, considering Piltel/PLDT's business reputation... I wouldn't be surprised if they actually paid the NPA rebels to burn down Globe's celsites. Thugs... uncivilized thugs. (And I don't mean the NPA rebels! hehehehe)
