Globe starts new Internet plans for Blackberry users
INQUIRER.net 12/18/2009 MANILA, Philippines—Spurring the market for Internet access on the Blackberry device, mobile telecommunications firm Globe Telecom introduced an unlimited Internet access on the Blackberry for postpaid users.
The prepaid service will be offered in three modes: P50 for 24 hours, P220 for five day days, and P1,200 for one month.
But the service does not include Internet browsing, which will be charged separately. For postpaid users, they will be charged 15 centavos per kilobyte while prepaid users will be charged P5 every15 minutes of usage.
My comment: seems very limitiing and expensive for just using email and social sites?? Smart offers unlimited surfing at 50 pesos a day.....which Globe is not doingin their P50 plan, you only get to surf limited social sites and email. Sun also has an unlimited surfing plan for 50 pesos a day.
Continue reading here http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view/20091218-242743/Globe-starts-new-Internet-plans-for-Blackberry-users
Note SMART has much better plan
For an additional P50 per 24 hours, prepaid users can avail of unlimited Internet connection on their Blackberry device.
Another option is P300 for seven days unlimited access, which translatesto P1,200 per month if the user avails of the service per week.
The fee for the unlimited Internet access is on top of the cost of using the Blackberry device for voice calls and text messages. Read more about it here http://smartphilippines.blogspot.com/2009/12/smart-offers-flat-rate-blackberry_06.html
Comments i already registered my PIN and IMEI to Smart BIS when i tried their service. is there a way to unregister it? because if there is no way, i can’t use my sim Globe for my BB.
just do a wipe on your handheld before inserting the prepaid globe to be sure to remove all service books. Then it will be provisioned to your new sim (IF this promo is really working that is)
as soon as your device is provisioned in the globe BIS then it will automatically be disconnected from the smart BIS, its like a change device. Then you can now create your globe bis address to be used to configure your push emails. problem occurs when there are service books left from your previous simcard. so to be safe just do a handheld wipe. upon provisioning, new service books will be automatically be downloaded to your device.
The prepaid service will be offered in three modes: P50 for 24 hours, P220 for five day days, and P1,200 for one month.

Globe SUPER150 unlicalls review
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Globe Super150 Is BULLCRAP!
From a blogger on blogphilippines: SUPER150 is the latest promotion from Globe that allows Globe users (Globe Prepaid, Globe Tattoo or Globe Postpaid) unlimited calls and texts within the Globe network. Apparently, Globe’s Super150 was introduced to counter Smart’s Unlimited calls. While Smart sets a time frame for their subscribers to make unlimited calls (10pm to 6am), Globe was daring enough to offer unlimited calls and texts for 24 hours within a five day period from subscription. This alone gave enough reasons for my friends to move to Globe.
Lately however, I became increasingly frustrated because every time I avail of Globe’s Super150 and use it, I always encounter difficulties in placing calls and sending text messages. Right after subscribing to Globe’s Super150, I can easily make calls. Five hours later, redialing the number for the Nth time to make a successful call becomes pestering. So, like any curious Globe subscriber would do, I called 211 (Globe’s Customer Service) to inquire. Guess what? After asking my location, how I place calls and whether my phone is perfectly fine (which it is), the customer service representative didn’t give me any explanation. She simply offered to make a report about my problem and have their technical service department look into it. She suggested that I restart my cellphone then try calling again. I patiently did what the representative told me only to find out that it didn’t do any good.

I patiently did what the representative told me only to find out that it didn’t do any good.
I’m left with no other resort but to reload my phone and place in calls like usual (without the 238) and quite surprisingly, the call was successful. Was I cursed that I can’t place calls using the Super150 or was it just a bad day for me? I went ahead and asked 8 of my friends if they encountered any difficulties placing calls while they’re subscribed to Globe’s Super150 and they all said YES! Where does this leave us?
Cursing Globe for their BULLCRAP? Moving to another network?! Worst, suing Globe Network for the irregularities in their service? I could do all but I opted not. I opted to blog about their crappy service and share it to the rest of the world and hopefully, it gets to the attention of the Globe Executives. I hope Globe straighten this out, do whatever they need to do and make sure they keep their words. I’m not sure these Globe Executives know the basic principles in Marketing or even heard of the power of mouth, but let me tell them this anyway: your GLOBE SUPER150 IS A BULLCRAP AND I’M TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD ABOUT IT. If this post discourages your potential clients to move to your network and share this post to their friends, then I believe I have accomplished my purpose.
