@mikes - if you can see a GPRS signal in your screen, it may have something to do with the settings. Have you tried OTA configurator?
Better yet, you can visit globe centers and have it checked. Good luck!

Well there are pros and cons for the two telecom companies but because I need more coverage area that is why I settled with smart and besides I don't have any signal for globe at my place, which is in malate!

Globe MMS CS service is horrible... I ended up signing up for MMS over WAP... took 10 seconds..now MMS works perfectly. Lesson with Globe, trust OTA more than CS idiots.

Smart... GPRS service is very, very limited. Smart brags about a lot of services they have (GPRS, HSCSD) but these aren't FULLY operational (hmmm... I'm not surprised since they are one and the same with PDLT)

So far, I'm happier with Globe. Their CS sucks... but over-all GSM service is pretty ok, even out of town. I get good GPRS even in places Smart can't...so I'm happy. Another plus is that Globe is NOT a PLDT partner/sister company...I'd go with Globe just for that. I'd rather have my money go to an Ayala firm, than PLDT.

I do however like Smart's locator service.

globe is a lot cheaper than smart overall.

fact 1 - globe replenishes your prepaid text credit monthly
fact 2 - globe has cheaper rates if you call another globe phone on a non peak hour
fact 3 - globe has more tie ups with establishments for their gentxt card

1- True, but Smart gives you free txts when you reload your phone

2- Dunno, they look the same to me.

3- True;

Cons:

1. Globe can be a real PAIN to text with; lags, etc. esp. during holiday season. Smart sends all the time, on time

2. Globe's voice quality when linking to landlines is lousy; Smart all the way!

and by the way i forgot to mention....

4 - Globe GPRS is still free!!! Rashkae, what about your Smart? Can you go wapping 24/7 without worrying for your bill?

(well i hope this grasya can extend a bit longer)
