re billing problems on postpaid accounts
i never had such problems with Globe. can't speak about the other SPs.
re on post- and pre-paid accounts
up to a certain point, the difference would be insignificant. if you're spending over 2k on prepaid credits a month, and you have no problems with postpaid documentary requirements, or concerns about privacy and security, you could be better off with a post-paid account.
let me clarify about the privacy and security thing a bit. i'm not saying that you're records or calls aren't private or secure when you use postpaid accounts. what i'm saying is that, if you're the kind of person who wants/needs the convenience of changing phone numbers easily, then you're only choice is prepaid accounts (unless the NTC's manages to require the SPs to require prepaid account registration.)

i CAN afford paying my bills (actually my dad pays for it, estudyante palang kase ako) PERO.. ayoko lang ng may nang iisa... i spent more than 2 thousand (per month) these past few months.. ang sinasabi ko lang, they are advertising na consumable ang plans nila pero di naman talaga.. i hope u know what consumable means. and free text as well!!! not sms discounts! and by the way, i prepared a letter addressed to sun, but i don't feel like sending it. baka wala lang mangyari.
@ jaemee
shocking nga talaga kahit sa sun kung impulsive kang gumamit.

with regards dun sa topic, banas lang ako sa globe kasi hindi makapag wap kahit na gawa mo na lahat ng settings.

kahit na input mo na ang settings that you once used to surf wap sites, di mo pa rin yan mapapagana now hanggat di pa nili lift ng globe ang blockade sa mga sites. i always heard na may paid apn daw ang globe na pwedeng ma access ang mga wap sites pero my bro tried it to no avail. i was referring to this apn: internet.globe.com.ph which i think is only used as apn if u're gonna use ur fone as a modem. ito lang ang alam ko.

Good for you that your Dad pays for your bill. Anyway, i inquired with Sun and ang Consummable are the following:
- calls Sun to Sun
- calls Sun to other networks
- International calls
(so in short, CONSUMMABLE ang plans) but this limited to the above mentioned. E.g. I'm at Plan1000 so may P1000 worth of calls ako.
On top of that are:
- GPRS thru internet usage
- MMS
- International SMS
I agree that they compute their FREE SMS as SMS discounts. And thats ok for as long as they now how to show the computation of the discount.
Problem ko with them is that i haven't received any billing since December! I go and pay the minimum at their branch (Shang Sun Shop) every month but i refuse to pay the amount exceeding. Why should pay for somethin i haven't seen if it's valid or not? Baka may dispute yun or what not.

yeah, aware ako na sinasabi NILA na consumable ang plans nila. alangan namang itanggi nila. KASO, they REDEFINED the word "consumable" by offering sms and voice call discounts... try to see your billing statement, you'd see there that they have summed up the monthly service fee and the usage charges, which dapat, di na kasama yung MSF dahil nasa usage charges na yon... for example, i have made 1000 peso worth of txt messages and voice calls, and ang plan ko lang is 600... ang ginagawa nila is add up the MSF (which in this case is 600) tsaka yung usage charges (1000) WHEN in fact, since lumampas na ang consumption ko sa 600, di ko na dapat babayaran yon at yung 1000 lang ang babayaran ko dahil yun yung na use ko...(plus ofcourse the VAT)... ang hirap i explain but i hope u understand... ngayon, kung ang usage charges ko ay worth 550 lang and my plan is 600, its clear to me na ang babayran ko ay 600 at hindi 1050.. BUT INSTEAD!!! they sum up the MSF, usage charges and VAT MINUS the discounts they offer!!! that's how they define CONSUMABLE, they compute for SMS and Voice call discounts in a way we do not know, at kahit i explain pa nila, CONSUMABLE in its real context is different from DISCOUNTS!!! and they say they got free text??? HANAPIN mo at makikita mo lang ay discounts.. LABO noh? ang sabi ko ngayon, take away those discounts, we dont need them, what we need is REAL consumable plans ANd the free text allocations (in my case its 450). that would definitely show up the difference.. KAYA nga po, i'm asking the HELP of some SMART ("ADDICT MOBILE") subscribers and/or GLOBE G-FLEX subscribers to please scan even a single month of your billing statement and send it
j_18_rcdelta@yahoo.com for evaluation purposes only.. makakaasa kayo na STRICTLY for evaluation purpose lang ito gagamitin. (so that i'd know kung same ang system ng SMART,globe at SUN, if so, then i think i should buy a new dictionary, maybe the meaning of consumable has changed over a period of time..) PEACE OUT, have a great DAY ahead! ciao!!!
