I’m a SMARTBro prepaid user and have been so for several months now. Oh sure, I’ve tried to have an affair with Globe prepaid visibility internet thingy but it didn’t work out. The signal was too weak and unrealiable. So SMART Bro it is.
Lately, I’m not too happy with my internet connection. If I try surfing in the afternoons and in the evenings, everything is sooo slow. My network type shows I’m on 3G or HSDPA but things are taking too long. If I want to get a fast connection, I have to surf in the early morning. Like 5-6am. Who wakes up early just to go on the internet? Oh. Yeah. Me.
And it used to be that I can load my prepaid account via a SMART Call and Text card, but apparently I can’t do that anymore as the SMART Bro card is now available, and that is what I should be using anyway. The thing is, the SMART Bro card isn’t available in my neck of the woods. At least not in my favorite friendly prepaid card retail store.
Oh and when I checked my prepaid account, it seems that I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of reward point which I can exchange for 90 minutes of internet time or a discount in a prepaid kit. I opted for free internet and the message I got was that I would receive my free internet time within 48 hours. Well, guess what, it’s been two weeks already and I still have to get my free internet time. Writing off a letter to customer services doesn’t seem to work as I’ve sent my letter twice but I heard (read pala) nothing from them.
I guess that I’m stuck with this for sometime. I just wish Globe would hurry up in installing their tower here in town so I could get a strong signal and then it’s goodbye and good riddance, Bro!

when i bought my globe visibility, pinagtatanong ako ng tage globe sa gaisano kung saang lugar ko gagamitin yung kit. nung sinabi ko na sa sorsogon, di talaga sya sure if may 3G signal ang globe sa sorsogon o kaya sa city man lamang. sinugal ko din naman. I was able to use 3G for sometime pero naging mahirap. Nagtatayo ngayon ng globe tower sa likod ng cathedral so hopefully, magkakaraoon na ako ng malakas na globe signal.
by the way, ang hirap pumasok sa site mo for several days na

ahhh baka meron lang hitch sa host ko. minsan din di ko ma-access blog ko eh. 
aysus, kung gprs lang naman ang signal na makukuha mo, wag na. super mabagal yun. yung download mo na 3 minutes lang, aabutin ka ng ilang oras. better na pumunta ka na lang ng internet cafe and dun ka na lang mag-internet. sana nga maabot kayo ng 3G ng globe jan sa lugar ninyo. di ba may globe tower jan sa centro ng gubat? at saka smart? wala bang 3G signal from there?

laking saging binobomba ng neps ang mga towers ng globe dito sa buong sorsogon. di pa siguro magbigay ng right price ang globe. now we know why smart monopolized this province.
he he. nabiktima din ako ng globe visibility prepaid, walastek walang signal dito. hayyy.
