Globe mobile internet-time vs kb

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.

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.

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
