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 :)

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....

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.
