@ padlex: Why wont you switch to smart? If you're a postpaid user just switch to AddictMobile and get huge discount on handsets of your choice or even for free. but if you're a prepaid subscriber, you can swap your non smart sim to a SMART 64k supersim 2 for FREE at any SMART wireless center near you! =)

from my personal experience:
Globe:if u like Vj Ala and July, go with globe. i dont see any of their services that smart doesn't have, smart even outnumbered their VAS and are more useful than that of Globe's. My very first operator was globe way back in 1999, then, they were the best, but now, get a clue, they are just copycats now, they cant seem to find their own strategy to attract subscribers.. (try to see the very low account reload of smart w/c globe immitated only not over the air. har har)
Smart:smart was my second operator. i started using smart since late 2000. their services are quite good. sms are quite fast, balance inquiries are accurate and very updated, offers great VAS, good MMS, good GPRS, nice service centers, nice, i mean very nice coverage, imagine 3200 cellsites nationwide (correct me if i'm wrong please) pano mo nasabing mahina signal??? or kung signal hanap mo, why not try Smart ACES??? Satellite is unbeatable when it comes to coverage, does globe have one(tell me if they do, i'll accept that fact if they really do)? (you know what i mean ok? satellite, for satellite phones!!! not for transmitting and receiving datas like for WAP/GPRS/IDD etc.)... but..
Sun:now that i'm a postpaid subscriber of sun, i don't necessarily back them up, cheer for them, fight for them..no no.. i still am amazed of Smart, i'm still with smart, i still have my smart, only pre paid.. though sun is always having problems with mms, gprs and sms (like late reception, same as globe and smart when they started[sms]), i give them time to deal with these, i give them chance as we all did to globe and smart when their services sucked. but still, they are good overall, fair enough. nice CSR, nice rates, nice coverage for a new player.
Extelcom + Bayantel: what would their network be named? uhmm.. they sound interesting.. but wait.. did u say CDMA??? news are on air that CDMA operators in certain countries are filing bankcruptcy does that mean GSM networks are more patronized? or perhaps others prefer WCDMA, or maybe ETACS? lolz, etc.. or maybe others are just waiting for 3G-UMTS?
Rumours are also on air that Extelcom with its partner bayantel would operate using 3G Technology, but those are just rumours. NTC actually reportedly said that it would still take us 3 to 5 years to be able to acquire such technology, they said we must first fully develop 2.5G before operating in 3G.
in short, go for SMART!!! WTG Smart!!

isn't Mobiline CDMA? reason why they lost all that money then got absorbed by SMART and repackaged as Talk n Text. does CDMA have SMS already? because before Mobiline didn't and when the country became text crazy, who cared about a digital service that doesn't have text?
anyway i've been a smart subscriber since 1999, just a few months after they started and way before they were interconnected with Globe (for SMS). they're not perfect as with all the providers but i am satisfied with their service. |

@choy, about CDMA, CDMA is a standard that is capable of SMS also plus a lot of other features as well. (check out www.cdg.org)
about Piltel's Mobiline CDMA service, what happened was nung nag-boom ang text messaging ng globe at smart, hindi pa naka-install ang text messaging facilities ng CDMA network ng Piltel. Nung time na yun, nababaon na sila sa utang kaya they dont have money to install SMS facilities. Para lang hindi sila "mawalan ng mukha", nakigamit na lang sila sa GSM network ng Smart (at yun ang tinawag nilang "Talk N Text"). kung tutuusin, kung medyo marami pang pera noon ang Piltel, pwede sana silang lumaban sa text gamit ang kanilang CDMA network under brand name Mobiline.
Sana naliwanagan ka...

baka naman CDMA2000 ang sinasabi mo? kase nga CDMA is used in both 2G and 3G technologies. CDMA2000 is gonna be used for 3G networks. CDMA one is used sa 2G networks, which ofcourse is mababa ang tech level. i doubt if that CDMA one has sms. ewan ko lang ha.

CDMA One has messaging service. It's up to the operator to implement. |
