Globe vs Smart mobile internet

**ryan** · May 6th, 2007 06:48 PM

I've been a Globe user for over 10 years but have only started using emailing/browsing on my mobile phone.

I just found out that Globe charges 15 cents per kb (or about 20pesos daw per minute). I also read somewhere that Smart charges only 20 pesos per 30 minutes with unlimited kb.

Is there a better Globe deal for mobile internet usage? Cuz I find it weird that Globe doesn't compete with Smart and it might be a good reason enough to finally ditch Globe for Smart.

Any comments/suggestions about mobile internet usage? Thanks!

Smart user for quite some time now. Actually, sa Smart 3G, 10 pesos lang for every 30 minutes browsing. I use my cp as a modem sa laptop and ganun nga ang charges irregardless of kbs downloaded.

Same with me. Before Smart charged per kb. But the charge now is P10/30 minutes. Actually, eto ang gamit ko ngayon with a speed of 115.2 kbps.

Kahit saan pwede ka mag-internet basta may signal ang Smart. Very useful if you're mobile.

am a globe user, corporate account, and two words.... it sucks!

expensive to use it as a modem, erratic 3g signal etc....

my wife's on addict/smart.

nice for the 10php/30minutes surfing fee. 3g signal almost anywhere.

sulit pag smart 3-g user ka, kahit prepaid.. 10pesos/30mins, pag madaling araw para kang naka-DSL din...3g-pocket PC/ PDA-phone users magbebebnifit ng malaki dito/ yung may lap-top+phone...

globe, i only maintain my globe kasi sa Gcash and special # kasi, pero other than that, di ko ginagamit kahit WAP services!

Sorry for the tech-impaired question, but when you use a 3G cellphone as a modem, can it still accept incoming calls? If the answer is yes, continuous ba yung flow ng data through the phone (e.g. you're downloading a large file) kahit may kausap ka?

Yes and yes! Parang DSL.

basta di matangal sa usb cable, ok yun....most phone kasi madali ma-dissconect ang usb cable connection, lalo na kung inagat mo.. use headset or hands-free mode..
