Smart loading and signal

Just got off the phone from talking to the Smart Customer Service Hotline. There were a few things i learned.

Messages will only get through if there is at least a 3 bar signal. If you dont have it and a message comes in, goodbye message. Sad to say, its not like globe who will somehow try to keep it in their servers until it does get sent.

If you have leftover credits and it is about to expire, forget loading a new load in an attempt to extend your credits. It wont work. Your leftover credits will still expire at the set date despite your new load. You should just use up everything or pasaload everything to another sim but that will only be good for 3 days and you either use it up or pass it again.

Side note, a friend, a smart reseller, went to smart to buy a 300 peso load in an emergency. They said if it is just for personal use, they would rather that you dont use your reseller status to get a discount. Sheesh! I know business is business but if you cant even treat your resellers well, i dont think you will succeed.

Sun seems to have no problems. All my messages are received. I hope they keep up the good service and constantly improve.

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.
