Sun Cellular

Getting that Sun Cellular is one of the smartest moves i made. True that i will have to start bringing around 2 phones but i saved so much. I used to load 300 a week in my globe but since i used the Sun to talk (mostly talk) and text to my girlfriend and close friends, the last time i loaded my main phone (the smart with the amazing number) was over a month ago and i still have about half that load still unused.

The connection rate at nights is pretty low for calls but the text messages are fast and without problems. I need to redial from 2-9 times before connecting after 7pm. During the day, i connect on the first try.

The customer service people in Sun are very helpful and friendly. When they made a mistake of telling me a different price for the service i was interested in, they immediately called me back and corrected it.

Sun's IDD is cheaper by $0.10 and GPRS is also cheaper by Php 0.15/kb.

Considering everything, i think im getting much more from my money with this company. I hope they continue to improve. Kudos to them for showing everybody that a company can survive with being honest to their subscibers and not charging an arm and a leg.

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.

Cherry Mobile battery replacement

Today, our secretary reported that the cherry mobile battery in one of our office phones. They called me while i was in greenhills shopping center. One would think that i can easily find a replacement battery in greenhills of all places. No, no battery in the shopping area, virra mall or even in the cherry mobile store in the theater mall. Yes, their store doesn't carry a battery. 

Globe lifestyle plan or else

This is another Globe Telecom​ rant. I called globe (yes, i still have to deal with them) earlier because i realized that i'm paying them a lot for the office globe phone and i don't get rebates. I know i'm out of contract so i should get rebates. They offer me their new lifestyle plan for 499. Neat right? Wrong. They will NOT give me rebates unless i pay an extra 100 to reach their 599 limit and the rebate they are giving is 125 pesos per month. So technically, they are just giving me 25 pesos rebate per month since we wont be using the extra 100 given that the office also has a sun line and a smart line. Worse, the agent says, the 2 lines of my in laws are out of contract too. I said, "Cool! How much rebate can they get per month?" I was then told that unless i convert those lines to the new plans, there will be no rebates. Even if the lines are used to the cost of thousands each month (by my in laws) they will not be given anything in return. I swear, they
