Globe vs. Smart Plan

[galant E SS]

I've been using prepaid sim cards of these 2 rival companies for almost 12 years. Load ko sa globe is 100 pesos per load, pang-back up ko lang sa smart, pag naubosan ng load & pang emergency call. Load ko naman sa smart is 10 pesos per day w/ 75 txt/sms to all networks. Napansin ko lang kasi, mas mabilis maubos ang load ng smart but i maintain my smart no. kasi mas maraming smart users sa contacts ko at mas makakatipid kung smart to smart and globe to globe. Lately lang namang nauso ang mga murang load. By the way, may sariling loader si mrs and i also have pldt landline extention na pantawag sa bahay and sa office nya.
Average monthly expenses ko sa load ay 300 sa smart & 200 sa globe.

It's been a long time that we're not buying gadgets and i prefer using the old school nokia cell phones like the n70 which left me some kind of techno freak in the touch screen technology. But this Dec., my wife bought a cherry mobile flare and i have no other choice but to use it. it's only now that i appreciate the beauty of smartphones, and discover that smart and globe offer unlimited inernet connection through smartphones plan. Sa smart pa lang ako naka-inquire for a while and they are offering samsung galaxy pocket , i will only cash out 459 and will have unlimited txt to all networks and unlimited internet connection for only 359 or something per month. They are also offering iphone 4S for P 2000 per month plan for 2 years.

2 friends of mine told me na mas maganda daw ang plan ng globe. Dati, globe is offering blackberry phone for 599 per month plan.

Mga bros. & sis, sino po ba ang naka-plan dito, and kumusta naman ang internet connection nyo? Which network offer the best package? Thanks in advance po!

Globe ako lalo na 90% ng kakilala ko e nakaglobe. Yung mga plan naman nila halos naggagayahan lang kaya tip ko sayo kung saan ka mas maraming tinitxt or tinatawagan yun ang kunin mo na network.

I think globe plan na may unlimited internet is P999. Yung price na sinabi mo is not Unlimited. That's my intended upgrade sa daughter ko para phone & internet needs niya. Meanwhile, Smart Iphone 4s package na P2k ang gamit ko naman. Some locations may advantage si Globe and some naman si Smart. So depende siguro sa location mo at sa net usage mo ay ok ang both.

I also have my SUN line as my backup, ok din ang surfing speed nito just like globe and smart as long as may 3G signal. If walang 3G signal, none of the three are good or fast. So better check which of the providers have 3G signal on most locations na nandun ka.

^ Thanks fanboi!

[galant E SS]

^ Thanks Phoenix67! Mas marami atang cell sites ang smart dito sa province namin, that's why mas maraming smart users. I'm just a little bit worried sa smart, baka maraming additional charges.

[galant E SS]

^ kaya nga limited lang ang nilo-load ko sa smart pre-paid, on daily basis na lang, kasi mas madaling maubos/mag-expire kahit di ko ginagamit.

Ako rin globe kasi globe halos lahat ng kakilala ko.

Sayang naman kung magplan ka tapos kausap mo hinde nakaglobe

obserbahan mo muna ts kung ano sa dalawa ang malakas ang signal sa inyo at sa mga pinupuntahan mo, sa akin kasi tatlo celfone ko, smart,globe at sun. medyo naiinis ako sa sun kasi kahit may signal na 3 bars hindi ako matawagan paminsan minsan, tapus yung globe naman ang hina ng signal sa amin pagnasalabas ako ng bahay 1 bar lang sya pag pasok ko sa loob ng bahay wala ng bar haayz, yung smart naman pag nasa labas ako ng bahay 3 bars pag nasa loob 2 bars, kaya ako mas tiwala ako sa smart dito sa amin kahit sa internet smart ang gamit ko, kasi mas mabilis sya sa amin kesa sa globe at isa pa kung pipili ka ng internet connection wag ka mag globe kasi hindi unlimited yun internet nila, 800MB lang per day pag naubos mo yun wala pang isang araw block na net mo for that day, kahit testingin mo mag paload ka ng 50 pesos tapus i unli mo sya sa globe hanggang 800Mb lang yan, sinasabi ko lang yan kasi baka mahilig ka mag net tapus madissapoint ka lang, basta timbangin mo ts kung anong malakas na signal sa inyo, goodluck sayo..

^ rukawa11, yon na lang siguro, i'll ask globe & smart agents or i'll research kung ano yong may internet connection sa prepaid using smart phone. Actually, bihira naman akong mag-internet pag nasa labas, usually, dito lang sa bahay. Ngayon lang ako naging interested kasi minsan walang magawa sa offfice or pag nasa travel or waiting mode. I've tried globe broadband before & yong sa smart usb type net connection, using my laptop but both of them are so slow. Iba na siguro ngayon sa smartphones.

You're right renzo. Actually, bihira akong tumawag and most of the time, ayoko ring tinatawagan ako kasi i don't want others to hear my conversation w/ other people. Mas gusto ko ang sms lang para ako lang ang nakakabasa. I only call in case of urgent matters or in case my contact is not answering.

been a smart postpaid subscriber(wife usees the line) for 8 years or so kasi malakas signal dito, so far service has been 80% ok. i get a free fone every 2 years for the retention plan.

me i just use the prepaid line, cause average use is about 200-300 a month, lately i've been using MEGA250 unli plan, unli text to all networks, 180 mins call to smart, sun and tnt networks and 100mb data 1 month valid . everything is ok except for the data, you can't even connect. even on my wife's postpaid line connection is so slow that you're just draining battery trying to connect. sad thing is even if you complain to their hotline or go to smart store nothing is done about it.

also about the fast load disappearing. try this text STOP ALL to 2728 its free, seems to work had my crew do it cause they have been complaining about their load.

you can alsp check which current subscription status by texting MYLIST to 2728

I use Smart prepaid (Smart Zed SIM from 11 years ago hahaha).
If you use 3g, their signal here in Los Banos can support video streaming.
I use it instead of the office internet to watch play off games hehehe.

Globe ako since unang phone ko nung 1999 (prepaid) tapos nag post paid ako nung 2000, I have 7 lines na rin sa kanila. Like any other service provider syempre may mga reklamo pa rin ako sa service nila. Marami na din akong nakuhang free units at syempre yung number personalized. Ang pinaka ayaw ko lang sa Globe yung loyalty program nila di consistent may maganda may pangit, I was given a rebate before sa plan ng anak ko na 900 pesos monthly e ang plan niya plan 800 lang so may sukli pa ako buwan buwan for 1 year tapos sa ibang plan naman ang liliit ng rebate na inoofer nila or yung unit ang papangit.

Tama si shadow kapag pangit ang offer at di mo tinanggap ilang linggo lang mangungulit na sila at bibigyan ka ng mas magandang deal.

Before nag try ako mag smart and sun cellular grabe nakakastress ang service nila at nakakaburaot ang mga customer reps puro walang alam lalo na sa sun cellular.

TS, try mo muna load tipid plan ng globe para kung di mo maubos yung load for the month pede carry over to the next month.

Does anyone have an idea how much is Apple Watch plan add-on with Globe Telecom? ... Does Smart also have Apple Watch plan? ...

[beni23]

Saken ang kinuha ko yung 599 all-unli ng globe + free bb. Ang ginawa ko binenta ko yung bb at itong iphone ang ginamit ko. Parehas lang naman ang konsumo ko, anghirap lang kasi mag-unli pag prepaid. Halos itapon ko yung bb sa sobrang hirap magtext eh. Haha.

Internet consumption: pag yung bb kasi ang kinuha mong free may +99 ka sa bill for bbchat, ang ginawa ko pinaconvert ko sa powersurf. Ok naman, sakto lang ang 50mb sa 1 month ko, may wifi naman sa bahay. Minsan sinasaksak ko sa ipad tong sim para dun magsurf, mas maganda kasi pag dun ka manunuod ng you****. Hahaha

Sa globe pala, pareho lang ang rate ng prepaid & plan sa supersurf. Since bihira lang naman akong mag-net browse/surf & i have my own wifi * home, tama na siguro sa akin ang powersurf:

we have both Globe and Smart, I prefer Smart when it comes to service..mabilis naman yun data...saka hinde sila barat sa rentention. although Globe gave us Ipad for rentention but overall Smart pa rin malakas magbigay ng gadgets, in 2 yrs I already got 10.1 Tab, ipone 4S and now iphone 5...ang Globe isang Ipad pa lang..but by March rentention plan na rin Globe namin...so lets see kung ano ibibigay nila...nag cash out lang ako sa iphone5 ng P800 the rest walang cash out. Globe originally wanted me to give 5k yata for Ipad. but when I refused pumayag yun manager na walang cash out....

just need to talk to the manager ng retention program pag mga agent walang kwenta kausap...

That makes me interested in smart plan. Yon nga ang sabi sa akin ng agent , meron daw free laptop, sayang din naman. Tapos pag pre-paid ang gamit, hassle din minsan pag bigla kang naunusan ng load.

I'm using Globe, madalas GPRS ang connection ko, bihira HSDPA kaya ang bagal ng Internet. Kaibigan ko naka Smart, yung isa naman Sun, and parehong mabilis ang connection nila kahit ibat-ibang area.
