Hey! If it is true that Smart does provide stable and reliable GPRS connections and service I think I have to consider transferring to them also. Because right now it is not possible to access Esato using Globe.  |

Remember one thing... under Smart, ALL internet traffic (including WAP) is billed. With Globe, restricted WAP access is free, full internet access is billed.
I send and receive my Yahoo mail for free with Globe, I check movie skeds & reserve tickets for free. Basic Google searching is free as well, as is getting news from Inq7.net. Esato is a hit-and-miss thing...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I don't really care since it's free anyway.
The few times that I NEED to use Opera or the built-in POP email client... then I don't mind paying. Since my mobile surfing is very erratic, I don't really need to be locked down to plan (G-Surf or Addict) that requires me to use data services, whether it be MMS, GPRS or whatever.

Ok, I'm looking at the 'addict' rates and I'm wondering... what's SMS IOD? And are calls & SMS to other networks also counted as the 'free min' and part of the consumable SMS? Thanks!

@jplacson
the current issue with globe is that even on the paid APN, they are blocking WAP sites.

Really? That's dumb... well, the only WAP site I have problems with is Esato... Inq7, BPI, FedEx, my own WAP site, Sureseats,  , myGlobe, Click the City, Destiny Webmail, and Google are easy to access. |

SMS IOD = SMS Info On Demand or info text
SMS & calls to other networks part of free min/consumable data |

@jplacson. Yes I access my yahoo mail using Globe GPRS however, have you tried to access yahoo messenger? At the moment you also cannot access it using your phone.  I also cannot access google either.

hmmm... some of the guys that were once bashing smart telco on a thread a long time ago now switched to smart. simply ironic. does that mean smart offers good service now?

@jplacson, you said
"Ok, I'm looking at the 'addict' rates and I'm wondering... what's SMS IOD? And are calls & SMS to other networks also counted as the 'free min' and part of the consumable SMS? Thanks!"
As far as I know Smart counts all calls and SMS to other networks as part of your free allocation under the Addict plans. Globe is actually the only telco that does not count SMS to other networks as part of your free text. Smart and Sun don't care where you send your SMS to.
