Globe or Smart

[cast_no_shadow]

Badtrip lang sa smart, they dont allow cash payments over the counter, purely via CC payments lang.

nanunukli ba yung kiosk? hindi naman diba? pano pag buo pera mo?

I have both Smart and Globe data plans. By far, mas consistent internet ng Globe. Both have poor LTE especially outside Manila, but at least Globe has good 3G signal about 90% of the time.

For Smart, siguro mga 60% of the time lang maayos internet ko. Kahit may H+/H/3G na nakadisplay, minsan walang net.

But sa bahay both Globe and Smart consistent naman. So yes it depends on the area, but for mobile data my experience tells me that Globe is better in more places.

Kung pwede lang mag prepaid ka na lang lalo na at globe. Hindi na maganda plans ngayon dahil sa data cap. May promo si globe na 1 week 1gb internet + 1000 text to globe for 70 pesos. At pag meron ka na niyan register ulit sa promo worth 36 pesos for additional 1gb. Kung every month may budget kang 999 sa internet, may almost 25gb kang internet unlike postpaid na 800mb per day at 3gb per month. Actually para siyang system hole na nagkamali ang globe sa pag provision ng promo hindi ko lang sure kung sadya. Gamit ko lang promo for prepaid is 1000 text all network + 500 mins of calls to globe and 1gb internet worth 288 pesos. May wifi sa office at bahay kaya sobra sobra 1gb sa akin.

Eto link summary ng mura nilang promo.

Globe is better last year. Seems like hindi pa naka habol Smart sa data connection. Really hoping both improve their infrastructure.

I have no problem with smart data. Consistent LTE signal ko ******* download speed is 3-5 Mbps, and Kung meron man problem, they never failed to give me rebate.

Nag sukli yun machine. Pero siyempre round off mo na.

I've been a Smart user from the start so Smart for me.

*CNS: I used to pay in Smart center in malls via that machine. But when it became problematic and didn't want to accept some of the bills, I went to the bills payment section of SM and have been paying it there since. If you will pay more than your total amount due, your excess will be deducted in your next bill so you don't need to worry if the machine won't give any change.

Kung service ang paguusapan globe sucks big time. Sobrang hirap tumawag sa hotline. Tapos 2 sa family namin, di makarenew ng plan kasi may utang daw. E nakadikit naman ang plan sa credit card so automatic bayad. Nagtaka kami bakit may utang. Yun pala, may dinikit na same name sa account namin. Common name and surname kasi kami e. Tapos walang 2nd name. samantalang iba naman bday, address at middle name. Ang labo. Nakakabanas. Tapos wala daw sila magawa. Dapat daw punta pa sa globe para ipahiwalay, e since bulok nga ang service, antay mahigit 1 hour sa globe shop. Galing..

Thats what i'm sayin and di ako nag iisa. I find their service is a bit better, but all in all its a pain in the ass to deal with them. When you start calling for support, buntong hininga na lang.

They probably didn't count on people mixing and matching promos. I actually didn't know I could send to 8888 directly so I always used either the GoSakto app or *143#.

Haha, thank you sa link. Tried using the globe hack for my prepaid pocket wifi, and it works! I'm now have 1.2Gb/30days, for 136pesos. Dati I'm using GS299 1.5Gb/30days

kailan ba huling naging number 1 ang globe based on subscriber base? I wonder why they overtake smart last year?

[hinlog]

I read MVP's explanation yesterday on inquirer, in short, naglinis daw kasi sila ng customers' data nila in 2016 to improve their data quality.

April 2015 = total subscribers from both telco? 100,000,000 (one hundred million)

lets say mag text yong 50% ng subscriber ng ISA lng per day which is P1/txt

then your daily income is P50,000,000 (fifty million pesos only)

laki pera noh

Wow, if only computing profit and revenues were this simple. Thank god you don't work in the business consulting industry. 😂

One reason why our mobile connectivity is poor is because we don't have enough cell sites.

Why don't we have enough cell sites? Because many LGU officials try to profit from the construction of cell sites. It takes 25 permits just to construct one cell site. Each permit requires padulas. Go figure.

From my experience (using both for redundancy), if you stay in cities where Globe's signal is good, then get Globe. If you go around though and travel to provinces, Smart usually has better coverage in the provinces. Metros though would really usually have faster Globe internet. So depende na lang sa needs mo talaga. My personal use: both pero yung Globe is mostly for internet. Smart for general/daily use.
