    i just wanna rant about Globes service

    so i have been with globe for over 4 yrs now... service has been getting really trippy. i signed up for globe visibility first few months was ok hecka fast an single MB file takes barely a minute... fine... after a few months it started to deteriorate.. i call customer service they promise theyd be gettin back at me on whats happening. weeks went on and nothing i get nothing from them.

    and my globe handy phone!! dang! 4 yrs? wtf! so i get charged for using the unlimitxt service and i get charged for all the text messages i sent? stupid! whats the use of unlimitxt? its been 2 months when they last said theyre gonna call me about the feedback.. 2 mos going to 3 and still nothing! its so tiring

    guys i just hope youre all satisfied with their service but i swear im pissed! like hellla... argh!

    so you guys out there thinking of getting visibility well im not discouraging you.. make sure you are fully covered in your area. mine worked fine for the first few mos... now its crap... almost useless... i feel real bad for the CSRs that i yelled at coz globe cant take care of their subscribers... parang theyre expecting you to lose interest and just pay for the fee if you unsubscribe when your not done with the contract... anyone who can help please help naman...

    thanks!

    I am not happy with my GLOBE either... same to you more than 4yrs na ako. In my disgust I simply cancelled my subscription ... tried to get SMART sana pero my office (unfortunately) got me another GLOBE (sucks big time!)... pero at least I am not paying for the bills anymore .... so it would not be fair anymore to rant.

    In your case, doesn't that constitute a breach in contract... so you can just pull-out anytime with no obligations?!?

    Oh, naalaala ko, when I signed for my subscription cancellation from Globe, biglang tumawag sa akin ang taga GLOBE Service... saying that I have a rebate (about P1,100 daw per month for 12 months yata) that I can claim if I put back my plan (GFlex 1800 ako nuon).... kups talaga... I told them than I have been waiting for that "promo" for more than a year... so I told them, never mind, you can keep the money... I'm transfering to other networks.

    renaming the thread...

    anyways, we are also using Globe Visibility / 3G c/o M2K. potek - the other SB addicts can attest to the slowness of it while we are using it at our house in Bulacan. the only thing working perfectly fine is YM. to note that the connection was made most of the time via GPRS.

    i tried using it in the heart of Makati yesterday. the UMTS / HSDPA connection was at full bar - yey! but still the connection drops from time to time.

    I can attest. The word SLOW is an understatement. Pucha, naubos na ni M2 yung 1 gallon of ice cream nung Monday, wala pa ring refresh ng Tsikot SB.

    Kidding aside, Globe Visibility's signal gets weak when the user goes out of Metro Manila. From our tests a year and a half ago (our company was thinking of getting Visibility then), Visibility's signal is very strong when the user is in Makati, Eastwood, Ortigas and some parts of Q.C. We did not get it because the company employees that would use Globe's 3G Internet go to the boonies of the Philippines almost always. So, our tech guys figured that since the infrastructure is either not that strong or not present at all, it would be near useless for our guys to use.

    I'm currently trying out Smart 3G Internet via PC connection at my house. It's not that fast but hey, at least it has not gone down to 384kbp - and it only costs the office (using my office account) P 10 per 30 mins.

    Yeah, mabagal ang Globe Visibility. Simbagal nina N.... at I... :rofl01:

    Maybe u can try calling their hotline again. Swertehan sa CSRs eh. Are you a postpaid subscriber?
    I think they can waive the charges for the unlimitxt. Are the ones you texted through unlimitxt globe subscribers as well? coz unli is only globe to globe.

    well unlimited e... kung dumadami nag subscribers nila dapat iupgrade nila system nila to accomodate the additional subscribers. hindi naman pwede pa sign up lang sila ng pasign up and approve ng approve. mabagal yata ang upgrading nila to widen the reach and bandwidth maganda pa naman sana ang service (talkin bout the mobility)

    Okay lang ako sa Globe... I am a happy user, I stay away from the high-end features and I will hold on to my ordinary phone.

    I might buy a Smart again, former user eh for 6 years pero nagnanakaw. But it's good to have Smart beside you when you're mountain biking kasi walang signal ang Globe sa bukid.

    I was a globe postpaid user before. Meron sila offer na free unit pa nga. After completing the 2 year contract, advice sila na meron ulit promo. Meron daw ako refund if mag continue pa ako sa kanila. My wife send reply na avail na yung refund something like 10K yata yun. But, Globe did not comply sa PROMO nila. Sa inis ni wifey, close nya nalang ang service.

    Another disadvantages using Globe is when you use it as receive roaming outside PI, pag walang na yan load (Pre-Paid SIM), wala ka narin marereceive while sa Smart, kahit wala na load, continue ka parin makakareceive ng txt msgs from PI. That is my observation kaya til now Smart gamit ko. Im not sure kung sa iba ganun din.

    Just got a text from GLOBE:

    Globe Advisory: Effective Dec 6, new NTC regulation requires all mobile networks to implement "per pulse" (max of 6sec/pulse) charging scheme vs. the current scheme you are in which is "per minute". Globe will send another advisory on the new call rates once NTC approves.

    Is anyone experiencing bad mobile signal in their area?

    I rarely get mobile calls anymore (mostly viber and messenger) and I've been told by my Paulinian friend, Tita and COMPANIES that my mobile is off and when they do call it's choppy It wasn't like that before because I used to talk on the mobile phone a lot pre internet call. Even 5 yrs ago crush used to call me daily sa mobile and had no issues. I don't know when their signal (?) degraded? Possible ba na the data is strong pero sa mobile calls mahina?

    Globe says 'technical issue' may be disrupting postpaid subscribers' outgoing calls

    Activate vowifi or wifi calling. It helps with making and receiving calls when you’re in a spotty area as long as you’re connected to wifi.
