Rants about Sun and Philips

I went out of the country and brought my sun for roaming.
1) It was more expensive than what they said it would cost.
2) They temporarily increased my credit limit which was good but they changed it back even before they sent me the bill to settle so when they did that, my account was automatically disconnected for being over the credit limit. How stupid can their programmers be for not figuring out a way to revert the credit limit after the due date of the next cut off?
3) 2 out of the 3 customer service people i spoke to cant get what i was trying to tell them about the problem.

As regards Philips, i got a Philips S660 from sun for my brother. A few months later, it wont charge due to the fact that some parts turned out to be corroded. I brought it back and they said that it would cost me 1300+ to have it repaired even if it was still within the warranty period. Talk about a rip off right? Later on, another customer service person from sun said that there were quite a number of complaints about the Philips S660 as regards corrosion. It seems that even the simplest act of taking it into an air conditioned place for some time and bringing it out causes the Philips unit to corrode. I was also told that the LG has similar problems. Im glad that my phones are all Nokias at that point.

I am considering the cancellation of my sun service. That would at least bring down my cellphone count to 3 :)

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.
