All of us are waiting for a good response from Globe.. and we are all very much disappointed with their offer! Globe is greedy!

amen to that! sinusubukan ko namang mahalin sila pro bakit ayaw nila? - flordeluna

as i said earlier, TXTPower was right not to accept this new plan. It’s the same banana. Nothing less than a rollback to the old rates will suffice. The counter offer of TXTPower for P100/10 days is also acceptable.

Of course Globe will never admit that the number of unlitxt subscribers has reduced but that, my friends, is the hard truth that they must eventually face up to. Not only that, they willhave to face the truth as well that they have lost subscribers to Smart and Sun. I myself am shifting soon unless they back down. At the very least I have scaled down my usage of unlimited texting drastically.

The good news is, Globe’s offer for the P100/6 days is a sign that they are backing down. Let’s keep the pressure up.

hay…sana gantihan sila ni mother nature. sana masira cellsites nila. sana kakampi natin ang mga NPA…

isama mo na abu sayaff, jemaah islamiya, and al-queda…

Fellow TXTRS,

Apart fr engaging companies like Globe, we are also taking time to document very well our advocacy for posterity. We had info that a few weeks back, our call for a boycott was front page in a broad sheet (Malaya? Tribune?). We would like to ask your help in trying to locate that piece of newspaper and post it for all to see.

Nga pla, thanks to all those who sent pictures of the Globe website and posters proclaiming that Unlimitxt is “for good na”. Napahiya talaga ang Globe sa mga pagsisinungaling nila sa consumers.

Keep up the fight!

Hi,

We can get special discounted pricing for Sun SIMs + 30 days Text Unlimited + 30 days Text2sawa to all networks for at least 25% discount.

If alot of people switch, Globe will surely take notice.

Nako nakakapanginit talaga ng dugo. Napaka arrogant talaga nitong mga heads ng Globe kesyo wala naman daw naglilipatan sus kung hinde lang mahina tong sun banda samin sa las piñas eh nagsun nako..

how stupid do they(globe) think we are?

btw, mahal pa rin ang P100/10days para sa mga students na sa baon lng umaasa. sinubukan nyo ba yong: P15/8:00am-4:59pm, P10/10:00pm-7:59am, P25/2days, P50/5days?? pero, i don’t think papayag ang globe, parang gusto talaga nila ng P20/day.

smart na lang ulit ako.

100 pesos in 10 days??? mahal pa rin. i still prefer yung dating rates, yung 15,25,50. pinagkakakitaan na nila tayo e. ANG MAY IDEA NUNG NEW PROMO NG GLOBE AY NASA SIKO ANG ISIP! buti pa ang smart at sun di pinagsasamantalahan ang subscribers nila. at saka BOBO na lang maniniwala na walang price increase sa new promo ng globe. At saka kung totoo man yung sabi ng GMA na the economy is improving, e bakit yung RATES inimprove din ng GLOBE? di ba dapat bababa pa yung rates kasi the economy is improving? BOBO na ba talaga mag-isip ang mga executives ng Globe Telecom? at saka sa NTC, medyo nadidismaya na kami sa inyo. hanggang salita lang naman na kayo e.

Kung alam nyo lang ang presure namin na humarap sa mga commisioners and lawyers lang Globe hindi mo masasabi na “HANGGANG SALITA” lang ang textpower.

In be half of the txtpower,We do our best to make things feasible, and beyond that we prioritize what’s the consumers need.

We need your full support.

magtulungan po tayo at magkaisa.

Good Job! keep up.. Hanggang mapilitan silang ibalik ung UNLIMITXT.. /no1

txtpower, keep up the fight!

i was looking into the text2sawa to all networks..
and hehe.. i realized.. tama ung hinala ko na puede ka mag unlimited texting to all networks.. ndi lang sa home network mo.. cguro.. dapat un ung paglaban natin hehehe :p

100 - 6 days? hehe.. katuwa.. the mere fact that globe made an offer like that means that they feel the pressure that globe subscribers has given them. and nope, i also dont believe that mas dumami pa subscribers nila ek ek.. its just to dishearten us.=) tamang me decrease in sales.. dun nga lang ke manang sa tindahan, sabi nia halos wla na daw nag papaload sa knia ng Globe, panay smart. so im wondering kung san nkukuha ng globe ung figures nila. or maybe they just choose to ignore the correct figures. ewan ko rin.. cnu ba nmn ako dba?? isang hamak na consumer lamang =)

Feb. 23.. will be the last day i will wait for Globe to provide the consumers what they really deserve. and its value for money.

Jhay, it wasn’t TXTPower Alfred was talking about when he said puro salita lang. He was talking about NTC.

For the record, I appreciate the efforts that TXTPower is doing and if they want to do anything in Cebu, I’m an email away.

kung talagang wala ng subscriber ang globe bakit nyo pa kailangan mag boykott?

a PROMO is just that a PROMO!!!

kung hindi nyo maintindihan ang meaning ng PROMO hindi kayo dapat humawak ng mobile phone

ang gusto nyo gumamit ng serbisyo pero ayaw nyo magbayad sa serbisyo! umangal kayo kung ang tinaasan ay ang per message outside of the promo.

ano ang gagawin nyo kung tinanggal altogether ang unlimitxt? lilipat kayo sa ibang network di ba? that will make globe put back a promo, so why the hell do all this stupid stuff, when your so called power can be exercised even without getting media mileage? malayo talaga ang mararating ng pilipinas kasi lahat matalino! kasi lahat magaling! kasi lahat gahaman! hindi lang ang globe ang gahaman kundi kayo rin!!! gahaman kayong gumamit ng serbisyo pero ayaw nyong bayaran ang serbisyong gusto nyong gamitin!!!

meron na ba akong narinig na reklamo ng grupong ito laban sa smart? laban sa pagkain ng smart ng load ng mga tunay na malilit na mamamayan? WALA!!! bakit kaya????????????

isa ako sa mga may globe lines at matutuwa akong tanggalin ang unlimitxt na yan dahil mas magiging maganda ang serbisyong ibibigay sa amin na nagbabayad para magamit ang serbisyo ng globe sa hanapbuhay namin hindi sa kung anong kapritso ng mga text addict!!! sana nga habang nagtetext kayo masagasaan na kayong lahat!

tama ang ginawa nung iba na lumipat na lang! yun ang totoong consumer, kung ayaw nila hindi nila ipinagpipilitan ang gusto nila!!!

FOR THE RECORD, TXTPower is self serving!!! are you looking at what other users have to contend with because of your greed to use the unlimitxt????

GROW UP and PAY UP!!!!

michael, i have one question. How much is Globe paying you?

^
I
Noob!

I mean c Michael haha! Noob.. Mgicp ka nga!

I agree with Michael actually. Globe’s been nice enough to come to a compromise that they never really had to come up with in the first place.

Why is it that when Filipinos are extended a little help they always find righteous indignation to ask for everything catered to exactly what they want?

I really thing this whole txtpower thing is overdoing it already. Cheapskates dont deserve full rights.

And if, by some chance you actually think that everything in this site is against self-profit and virtuously selfless, try asking yourself,
why are there ads in this site?

red, you and michael are missing the point. Globe no longer offered unlitext as a promo. it was already a regular “for good” service. We are simply fighting for our rights as consumers when greedy corporate entitities try to have their way over us.

By the way, did you really think that putting up a website is free? the ads pay for the maintenance of the site just like ads in yahoo help people maintain free email accounts. duuh! where have you been?

michael,despite all the text messages being sent by unlitext subscribers, meron ka bang naririnig na reklamo about text messages being delayed? Globe’s systems can cope with the volume. So what are you talking about na “gaganda ang serbisyo?

wahahaha!

my day is now complete! thanks to michael and red =)

michael..
1. we’re not against globe for raising their prices =) BASAHIN MO ULET -> WE ARE NOT. and we would not be this pissed if they advised their subscribers properly.. ndi ung binackdoor nila kme. =) with them spending all their millions on advertisements and stuff, they forgot to advertise the 100% price hike (opps u forgot that small detail Globe?)
#2. id like to react to :” tama ang ginawa nung iba na lumipat na lang! yun ang totoong consumer, kung ayaw nila hindi nila ipinagpipilitan ang gusto nila!!! ” .. ndi nmin pnag pplitan ung gusto namin! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THIS AS WE ARE PAYING GLOBE!.. ndi po libre ang services, im sure you very well know that =) WE WANT VALUE FOR OUR MONEY. does that make us bad people? that we want our hard earned pesoses be put into good and proper use?
#3. so far, wlang dpat ireklamo about sa smart ze eversince handsdown ako sa services nila.. pro lumipat ako sa globe dhil again, VALUE FOR MONEY. mas affordable ang globe and they promised that the unlimitxt service is for good. come to think of it.. puede rin cla makasuhan for false advertising dba?? hmn..
4. keung nag bbyad? bket un mga unlimitxt subscribers ba ndi nagbabayad? panu cla nkaka avail nung service kung ndi cla nag bbyad.? dude? nag iisip ka ba?? ska anung pakielam mo kung panu namin gamitin ung service? binayaran namin un kea puede nmin un gamitin any way we want to.. kapish??
5. Dude.. willing kme magbayad sa justified costs!
nag taas cla ng rates? and lately? andmi reklamo sa globe na kinakain ung mga load.. ndi naactivate ung unlimitxt service khet me confirmation na? yan ba ung bagong services that they claim will help subscribers? lol..
6. and i quote hreynes.. “HOW MUCH IS GLOBE PAYING YOU?”

Red,

Cnu ba me pakulo ntong unlimitxt promo na to? Globe dba? and just like that they take it away? even if they said na its for good already?

pati ba nmn ads ng site tinira mo? wla ka ng ibang mabato sa txtpower? low blow.. and actually very unecessary =) wla pati connect =)

cguro.. hati keu ni michael dun sa binayad sa kania ng globe? =)

hreynes…..

where did you see that unlimitxt is already a regular service??? I have been surfing the web site of globe where it says that unlimitxt is a regular service?

Regular service - a service that you dont have to enroll every so often e.g. international calls, local calls, regular sms, vms, mms, gprs….

promo - a service that is only available on a period of time, can be revoked or taken out of service anytime e.g. - free phone per plan, free load when buying a new prepaid kit…..

o ayan alin dyan ang sinasabi mo na regular service? hindi regular service ang promo na na-extend lang ng na-extend!!!

also who told you to put up a web site??? that is your own doing, hello?

delayed messages - wala kang naririnig? you want to hear one??? because of you text addicts, business men looses hundreds f tousands sometimes millions because their message is delayed! kung gusto mo itanong mo yan sa globe pag nag-usap kayo!!! maraming delayed message! i never wanted to say this, but you know what, Philippines will always be a third world country because of people and organizations like TXTPower who thinks and acts as if they know it all!!! Bakit hindi kayo makuntento na kung ayaw nyo nung promo nung isang kumpanya e di lumipat kayo kaya nga may FAIR COMPETITION sila para makapamili ang mamamayan hindi para IGIIT ng ilan ang kanilang kagustuhan para matuloy nila ang kanilang pagiging ADDICT sa TEXT!!! Ayaw nyo sa promo ng Globe lipat kayo sa Smart!!! period….

May nagtatanong kung magkano ang bayad ng Globe sa akin - bulag ka ba o nagbubulag-bulagan at nagtatanga-tangahan? hindi mo ba nakita na sinasabi ko na lumipat kayo sa Smart o kaya sa Sun?

Promo is just a PROMO!!! hreynes - can you please show me or point me to a link where it says UNLIMITXT is a regular service? If you can do that I will gladly send to you my lawyer to help you against GLOBE!!!

michael =)

hello ulet =)

uhm.. pakilinaw ang ibig sabihin ng “for good”?
ndi permanent ung meaning nun?? o kea forever??

http://i18.tinypic.com/40muw5v.jpg

yan link mo.. advertisement ng Globe na ung so called promo eh ndi na promo.. FOR GOOD NA!

ska mas mabuti ng addict sa teks kesa sa drugs!
wahahahaha

chillax dude.. puso mo.. =)

Hi michael_delos_reyes,

As of today, February 21, nasa myGlobe website pa rin ang announcement na “DAHIL FOR GOOD NA!” at “UNLIMITXT 15, 25 and 50 are permanent offers.”

http://www.myglobe.com.ph/myglobe/featdetails.aspx?title=whatshot&contentid=1697

Salamat sa offer. Hintayin namin ang tawag ng abogado mo.

Go ederic =)

wahehe :p

i ddnt want to post the link ze it might be a ploy from globe so they could remove the link from the net kea ung screenshot bingay ko =)

Ahems.. so michael.. kaninong number ang kelangang contact-kin ng lawyer muh?

cge nga… i’m waiting na may mag uumpisa ng online petition in support of globe.. at least i know may dalawa ng mag sign sa petition na yan. nyahahaha….

michael, hindi mo ba natatandaan ang tv ad ng tocayo mo si Michael V ni “for good” na ang unlimited texting?

Ganun-ang regular service is one that you don’t have to enroll every time? Does that mean that pre-paid service is a promo since we have to re-load or enroll everytime to be able to call or text.

At sino nagsasabi sayo na convenor ako ng TXTPower? I’m sorry to say I don’t have the honor but I would like to form TXTPower Cebu with the approval of TXTPower Manila convenors

Saan mo nakukuha yang figures mo na millions nawawala sa delayed messages. I’m a businessman/employee, I used to send hundreds of work related text messages a day. I never experienced delayed messages.

o ayan ang link na hinihingi mo. thanks tiNka. Yey!!! may libreng lawyer na kamiii!!!!

Pakibigay lang ang contact information niya sa TXTPower

LOL! pipo. nice one!!

ah sa inyo pala ang for good = regular service????

MAS KUMPLETO DAHIL SA DAMI NG PAGPIPILIAN! MAS MATINDI DAHIL FOR GOOD NA!
P15 for 1 day
P25 for 2 days
P50 for 5 days
UNLIMITXT 15, 25 and 50 are permanent offers. PLUS! 100 for 10 days!

UNLIMITXT 100 promo ends March 8, 2006. Per DTI # 0829 series of 2006.

To avail of the Globe UNLIMITXT service, simply send the following to 2870:

please note that it is still an offer!!! therefor it is really not a service!

hreynes - dont worry i will talk to my lawyer and get his view, email me your contact number and I will let him contact you if he tells me you are correct!

come to think of it… i once called up globe’s hotline to report again and again a problem that took them 2 months to resolve. and to think of their vaunted digital network kono but anyway, on one of those calls, a guy named michael took my call. hindi kaya ung michael na yun and michael dito iisa lang? baka sa susunod na reklamo ko… red na pangalan… worse if magpapakilala sya sa akin as redkinoko… hehehe…

@pipo.. waahahaha! ou nga!

@hreynes.. i second the motion =) kaw nalang convenor ng txtpower sa cebu back up lang ako sa likod mo.. ndi ako mahilig sa front lines weh

find a lawyer who will lie through his teeth na magbibigay ng twisted meaning ng permanent. I’m sure marami dyan kaya nga nagiging big time sila.

Oppss, sorry about that, Michael. I think you are right in saying that Unlimitxt is a promo and not a regular service.

hreynes, pipo, et al: Pero ang punto pa rin natin, ipinangako ng Globe na permanent na na ang dating Unlimitxt rates, as stated on their website.

Bakit nagsisinungaling ang Globe sa mga consumer?

michael, i think your english teacher must be crying. How else can you interpret “UNLIMITEXT 15,25 and 50 are PERMANENT offers?

Offer or service. What’s the difference as long as its permanent as in regular.

OMIGOD, took me a long time to type this. I was laughing so hard i fell off my chair.

michael, he’s welcome to join TXTPower and air his legal views to all of us here.

i have a feeling michael’s lawyer will fall off his chair laughing, too.

ponto por ponto that is the best argument/thesis. why put up some ad then act as if they didn’t post it at all.

@michael

ikaw ha.. sket na ng chan ko kkatawa seu! wahaha

so the term “offer” would not equate to “service”

permanent offer is not permanent service?

pro the point is PERMANENT.

:D

@ederic.. and no.. its not a promo anymore since they made the 15, 25, 50 permanent =)

ang naging promo nalang is ung 100 which was then until march ata or whenever. =)

according to the merriam-webster online dictionary “permanent” means

ontinuing or enduring without fundamental or marked change

the same dictionary also defines “for good” as

for good also for good and all : FOREVER, PERMANENTLY

Just a short english lesson for anyone else who needs it. hehe

merriam webster also defines regular as

recurring, attending, or functioning at fixed, uniform, or normal intervals

o ean.. english101 gleng ke Sir hreynes

questions?

@pipo.. can u email me your contact details sa tinka.jireh@gmail.com ? please =)

thanks

Ha3! Nakakatuwa naman ang sagutan dito.

Convenors, maybe on Friday we should ask the Globe lawyers if they know Michael delos Reyes. Kasi he’s probably excerting more effort to protect Globe than they are. Puros technicalities lang ang ni-re-raise nila. To think Globe is paying them much, tsk-tsk

Its so easy to see why Mr. Micheal delos Reyes understands Globe. It’s because they think the same. They both gave an offer then finds a devious way to take it back. In Mr. Delos Reyes’ case he offered the services of his lawyer if anyone could provide any evidence that will show that Globe’s unlimitxt offer is already a regular service. We have lived up to our part of the deal. Now he’s trying to go back on his promise…

Well we dont need the services of his lawyer anyway. We already have a group who are more than capable.

Atleast now we all know that MR. MICHAEL DELOS REYES HAS NO WORD OF HONOR and we shouldn’t take anything he says seriously.

Lets just focus on more important matters…

I agree with Lance. I also agree with TiNka. Feb23 is my deadline in waiting for Globe to rollback otherwise i shift to Smart.

@Lance.. i agree with you about Michael.. tsk tsk
keniz..

hi tinka, you were right. the page that shows unlimited texting as for good na is no longer showing in Globe’s site.

http://www.myglobe.com.ph/myglobe/featdetails.aspx?title=whatshot&contentid=1697

see what it says.

I would rather stay with Globe and switch to their TM brand (which is masa focused, ergo the pricing is different) than switch networks. Smart has this habit of making load disappear and Sun has a weak signal here in our area. I will continue to support the move of pushing Globe to rollback their old Unlimitxt prices or the P100/10 days offer.

thank you rumpeltiltskin. appreciate the support

tinka! just got online.. check ur email.

Wala na nga yung page ng dating promo…

Pero may evidence pa rin… it’s in the guide included when you buy their Sim Card (yung mga luma at di pa narereprint)…

i just noticed that globe is actually having a poll on their website, not sure how long its been there:

POLL
How do you feel about the all new globe unlimitxt texting service?

about 90%+ want the old rates back
http://www.myglobe.com.ph/myGlobe/polltoday.aspx?title=poll&pollid=362&answerctr=4

well okay, maybe they don’t want it back but they miss it, so thats kinda the same thing, right?

just incase someone had a different interpretation..

HA! Whatever or however they word it aRC, it’s vindication on our part. They are admitting that in their own poll subscribers want the old ublimited texting rates. i just cast my own vote. anybody care to guess how i voted?

spread the word about that poll, let’s hit globe at their own backyard.

@hreynes - I suggest you get out of Globe services and go to Smart!

a promotion that was made into a permanent offer is still subject to pull-out by the person offering the said promo, please read the fine prints…. uso ang fine prints read it and lets see who will die laughing….

I pity you TXTPower instead of focusing your strengths and time on making you rlife better by working or studying you are doing this, when you have a clear choice of shifting to Smart?

@hreynes - shift to smart! what are you waiting for?

Shifting to another network is ofcourse an option but the whole point in here is globe’s charade of offering “permanent” unlimitxt 15, 25, 50. This is not anymore about simply choosing one network over the other, it is now more on deceptive advertising and bad business practices both morally and ethically.

hey michael, you back again to give us comedic relief from our daily stressful lives?

Good, I need a good laugh.

pero alam mo, i think you’ve run out of valid arguments kasi if you care to read and think carefully, it’s not the pulling out of the promo that we’re questioning. The unlimited texting service is still there. It hasn’t been pulled out.

It’s the unreasonable increase in prices that we’re protesting.

And who are you to tell me to shift to SMART?

goomorning txtpower! =)

yesterday, txtpower was attacked by michael_delos_reyes saying alot of stuff na ndi kanais nais he also asked hreynes for a link to Globe’s false advertising since he could not find any link to it =) and yesterday, February 21st, 2007 at 2:55 pm i posted the screenshot.. i ddnt want to give the link since Globe might take it down and make us look bad =)

this was what was on the link at 2:55 pm

http://i18.tinypic.com/40muw5v.jpg

less than 24 hours later, this is what the same link says

http://i9.tinypic.com/44gow34.jpg

is it just me or is something awfully not right?

:D

pro not to worry =)

i still have another Globe link that says the unli is for good =)

i just checked it now and yes its still up and running =)

@michael, well.. globe offered to make our lives easier and took it away.. just like u offered us your lawyers services and squirmed your way out from doing so.. and well.. your also not helping actually..

testing.. di ak maka post

is there a limit to the number of comments we can post?

Just look at the strategy of Globe. They put out a poll hoping na marami magsasabi na they like the new unlimitxt rates…
pero… (look closely)… just in case that it doesn’t go their way they made the wording of the negative choice somewhat ambiguous to leave them enough room to squirm out…

Iba na talaga ang magalang manloko…

I’m still not using my Globe Sim. I’ve already switched to Smart for now. I support Txtpower’s drive against Globe 100%.

TO MR. MICHEAL DELOS REYES:

Baka bagong GLOBE subscribers ka lang… kaya di mo alam ang sinasabi mo.

Anyway nag papasalamat parin ako sayo dahil naging CLOWN ka namin dito sa txtpower at lahat kami ay napatawa mo.

Mga txtpower members lets give a hand of applause ang ating panauhing pandangal mula sa GLOBE TELECOM.

We also thank Globe for sending a very FUNNY CLOWN Mr. MICHEAL DELOS REYES, at napawi ang aming lumbay at nabuhayan kami ng dugo sa katatawa at hagikgik.

SALUDO KAMI SAYO MR. MICHEAL DELOS REYES.
TUNAY KANG CLOWN SA CUBAO CARNAVAL.

SALAMAT SA SUPORTA MGA KA-TEXTPOWER, MARAMING SALAMAT.. SA INYO KAMI KUMUKUHA NG LAKAS, DETERMINASYON AT INSPIRASYON.

ANG HINIHINGI LANG NAMIN AY ISANG PANALANGIN MULA SA INYO.

PRAY FOR US. AASAHAN NAMIN YAN.

Here’s a screenshot of the Globe poll just in case they decide to take it down when they realize that the results are not to their favor:

http://www.geocities.com/lancecstr/globepollscreenshot.jpg

@hreynes - its time to shift to Smart then lets see if your TXTPower group will be given even a bit of interest by Smart!

@Jhay - do what you should be active in school NOT in texting!

@TinKA - what is your number and my lawyer will contact you to give you the low-down on the issue point per point

michael, why give the low-down to tinka only. i dare you to have your lawyer put his legal opinions here. we’ll see what your lawyer has to say.

or are you just trying to hit on Tinka?

don’t worry by the way, i have shifted to smart and they were quite happy to have me as a new subscriber and i bet they are following Globe’s idiocy closely. have you noticed that they put an ad that they already have 25million subscribers? wanna bet a lot of that are new subscribers who shifted from Globe?

@michael

do you think im stupid and i dont know the low-down on the issue per point? kze.. sa 22o lang.. ikaw ung sugod ng sugod ng wlang bala baril mo.. bka nmn YOU need to talk to YOUR lawyer so he can give u the low-down on the issue..

i dont need to talk to him personally, what you might want to do is, have him talk to txtpower convenors. bket ako?? -.-”

or bka nmn u just want to know my number? =)

di na kelangan ng lawyer2 pra sa number ko.. nmn ikaw.. heehee
