Free Apps that are spyware

It seems that some apps are spyware. I was caught with one of them. Immediately deleted it.

Samsung was pushing a dual core duos for less than 8k. Starmobile had this quad core for 1 peso less than 4k. Silly me for getting pressured to buy so i bought the starmobile navi.   The specs are in the box. Pretty impressive if you read it particularly for the price.

I used the gprs to logon to google. Oh, did i mention that there was no user manual? I dont know if they forgot to give me one or there really is no manual.

Globe offers mobile internet that you can be billed for depending on the setting you choose. You can avail of the per kb billing where you will be charged 0.15 centavos per kb or you can set your phone to the time based billing where you will be charged 5 pesos for every 15 minute connection. You can set your phone to time by texting "time" to 1111 or to per kb by texting "kb" to 1111. Rumor has it that if you disconnect or get disconnected and then reconnect even though you have not finished your 15 minutes in time billing, you will be charged another 5 pesos for the next 15 minute connection starting from the time you reconnect. Another rumor says that the 5 peso reconnect is only for prepaid but not for postpaid. Somehow, we get mixed information from different customer service representatives of globe.
