Shouldn't someone throw a lawsuit Globe's way? grabe ang pagcharge nila sa GPRS. sa tingin ko, di naman totoo yun P0.15 per kb na sinasabi nila. Nababawasan ako ng mga P20 from first connection lang.
anyone else having this problem? i think this should be a concern especially to SE users that support OPERA and other kb-eating program.
opinions? |

best thing to do is in your browser settings, set it NOT to download images and animations. that will greatly reduce your data volume.

Oh yeah, nothing is just FREE now anymore . . . I used to surf Globe's for FREE then, and I enjoyed it a lot, as Smart was charging way back then. Well how 'bout Sun Cellular, do they have their own GPRS as too! |

well, i'm actually thinking of switching to SMART. My brother says they've got this honest-to-goodness P0.25 per "click". I take that to mean as a click regardless of the amount of pictures. haha

i use addict mobile and the rates are P0.25/kb OUTSIDE of the smart wapsite.
inside the wapsite, i believe it is P2.00 per information request. this includes abs-cbn news, click the city movie guides, etc. |

P0.25/kb?! that's actually worse than Globe's rates.. Globe has the same principle, P0.15/kb outside their site. It's all rubbish anyway. Someone ought to make an inquiry..
By the way, does anyone know where i can buy a cradle for my P900? Semicon doesn't carry one, so i'm looking for other stores.
Thanks!

@chickenjoy - Yes, when it comes to an honest to goodness policy, Smart may just lead the pack here, specially when it comes to charging their customer's - GPRS usage . . . As I have seen it thru my billing statements - 3 times, under my 'plan'/monthly subscription . . . |
