Balance Checks

Some people in an egroup of mine suddenly discovered that Globe was charging them for balance checks when they call 222. No notice was sent until today. Here's an email from mike:

Looks like Globe just wised up:

I got an advisory just a few minutes ago -

"Starting May 13, balance inquiry by dialing 222 will be charged P1. To inquire balance for FREE, text BAL and send to 222. Thank you."

Im sure millions have been charged from people's accounts for the late announcement. I wonder what the Globe Management are thinking. Im sure people will soon realize what this company is doing. I hope they do shape up though, for the sake of the Filipinos who are still with them.

Gave up on globe

I was at globe Rockwell last sunday. I got my ticket 5:45PM. I was 8th in line according to the guy. I walked around and went back past 6pm. I asked and they told me I was 9th in line! What sorcery is this?! I decided to wait. A whole bunch of people were called but was not present. I checked with the guy my status and he said that I was next in line. I waited for the last person to finish then lo and behold, they call a different name! I check again with the guy and he tells me that I am now 4th. They don't list down numbers on the screens, just names. Screwed up. Very NOT SMART. People, I'm cancelling my globe number and switching to my smart. If you don't have my number that ends in 111118, please message me. Globe mobile Internet was so slow that I had to get wifi to send this to my FB account. I have been waiting over 2 hours now. This is the globe lifestyle and this is not for me.

Free Apps that are spyware

It seems that some apps are spyware. I was caught with one of them. Immediately deleted it. Why would a flashlight app need access to my messages, settings, calls, location and others.   If you want an android flashlight app, try Torch-Flashlight by Mobile Apps Inc.   If you want to read more, check out:    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2808007/Free-apps-used-spy-millions-phones-Flashlight-program-used-secretly-record-location-phone-content-text-messages.html

Nokia C1

  I bought 3 Nokia C1 units because i thought Nokia is still the old Nokia. I was wrong. The C1 is so slow. It takes time to get  to answer calls slow. Also, it has a bug. It will just stop accepting your passkey or pattern and wont let you in. You'll need to bring it to the shop and have them unlock it for you.  Of the 3 units, only 1 works now. One just wont open anymore and the other manifested the bug and i still cant find out where to send it. I also bought a keypad nokia some time ago. After a year, it wont function properly. Nokia is not the nokia of old. I dont think i'll buy any more nokias in the future.
