Load Expiry

5 days ago, i checked my smart load and got a confirmation message of having 244.50 pesos in credit. Since then i sent, at most, about 30 messages. Last night, i encountered the dreaded Check Operator Services error. It seems that Since my 500 peso load 2 months ago, i should have either used it all up or reloaded so i could have saved my 200 peso credit. No wonder these telecom companies are so rich. Goodness. 200 pesos straight to their pockets without even lifting a finger.

Lesson learned.

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.

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.

Smart Enterprise Customer Service

 I am always raving about Smart Communications when it comes to serving their customers in the Smart Centers. Compared to wasting at least 2 hours (pre covid) in the Globe Center for a simple account issue, the same issue will get resolved in a Smart center in less than 20 min. Post covid quarantine, the same still applies for smart. I cant tell for Globe because i switched our accounts to Smart. The problem now lies with Smart Enterprise. Because of how i liked the customer service for individual accounts, i assumed that this would be the same for corporate enterprise accounts. I was so wrong. The speed and quality of service is the same. The customer service is so different. You cant transact enterprise accounts in the Smart Centers. You need to call or email. Calling usually gets some results but limited. Email.... takes a long time. You will get an automated response immediately but an actual response from a person on your concern takes days. One issue lasted a few months....
