If you have a rich lifestyle; traveler, smart and practical, then better use Nokia Mobile phones

This is not an “ADS”. This is a purely product review so that my fellow consumers might know the best thing in mobile phones.

As we could see, Philippines is really unique among nations of the world because we are composed of 7,100 island. We are absolutely tropical country of the SEA (South-East Asia), a paradise structure of land, a perfect climate for human to live, rich of natural but undeveloped resources, great beaches either developed or virgin beaches and a lot of places, islet, and island to travel.

Since form the bomb like explosion of the wireless mobile phones in the late 90’s and early 20’s, Nokia jumped to be the number 1 mobile phone in the Philippines. Nokia leap behind Motorola, Philips, Siemens and other mobile phone which I have tried them all.

I had been in Iligan City, Philippines for my summer visit to the wonderful “Twin Maria Christina Falls” carrying my mobile phones with me and with some of my cyber friends which I met online before my travel date. Maria Christina falls is just a few kilometers away from Iligan City but before we reached to the vicinity area, my friends wonder why their Motorola, their Siemens and Philips doesn’t have Communication signal at all. I used Asus phone, Nokia 3350 and N73 with my extra N 7610i for my other Network that time, we have the same network but I got 3 level network signals.

So for other travelers like me, I would recommend Nokia Mobile phones. Their quality is really “great”. Yeah actually it is not the only occasion were I tried the quality of Nokia Mobile phones but many times including internet using mobile phone.

SMART COMMUNICATIONS’s PLUG N’ TALK gadgets is a Failure!

SMART COMMUNICATIONS’s PLUG N’ TALK gadgets is a Failure!

http://www.smartpinoy.net.ph

For my review in this stuff, maybe the research department of the SMART Communications make a big mistake for introducing this gadget. I consider it as FAILURE.

I maybe thumbs’ up if this gadget is capable to be connected to your mobile phone alone, but if you need computer to have this plus internet connection, then this is a big foul. If the OFW will go to the internet café, they have texted already their family to get online, so they could talk via SKYPE or via Yahoo Messenger (YM) so why should have to spend credits or “load” to talk with their family? Or some OFW have their own pc notebook at their respective accommodations then they just have the internet connection then install the SKYPE, YM or MSN then have a video chat for unlimited time and absolutely FREE!. Why should they have to spend loads or credits for their PLUG N’ TALK?

Maybe the SMART Communications Research and Development Department is not thinking of pros and cons of this gadget.

This PLUG N’TALK Gadget of SMART is just a messed! For sure, this will ends up to paid trial by OFWs then good bye

Look at the features of Smart PLUG N’ TALK below.

SMART PLUG N’ TALK- FEATURES
1. Easy to use, Portable with SIM- Gadget
2. It will use the Internet connection to have the service
3. It is a bit costly because you will pay for the internet connection plus the per minute call to the Philippines.
4. It is an independent gadget that would be destroy by wind, water or fire
5. You need it plus the computer where to plug it (Double loss or DL) why? Because the two gadget will depreciate so you incur losses for the depreciation of the two gadgets (Computer and PLUG N’ TALK)
6. Loading credits outside the country is not easy. You need to find it in the most populous area of the country where most Filipino is there, where other Filipinos have the reloading services to get reloaded your credit

RED Mobile initiatives

I been using RED mobile from its first time of launching because I am curious of what is in there, though I don’t have many RED Mobile friends, I know RED Mobile will soar high like a jet because of its lower rate but good quality services.

After few months, I discover the service reliability of RED? Yeah and you ready to get RED? Yeah you must be! Because RED mobile initiative is the best solution this recession period. You could really save. I know RED mobile services like Internet connection, 3G video call is not yet ready but here in the Philippines, people are not fun of using it. Only few are using internet on their mobile phones so why not to switch to RED Mobile?

It is the best initiative to use RED mobile now. Try it, and shout your review in here.

Roaming Services for OFW would be Smart or Globe? Which is better?

Roaming Services for OFW would be Smart or Globe? Which is better?


Actually this is your choice. You will know it if you have tried it.

I been so loyal “Brand Loyalty” of one communication network in the Philippines because I am very active in using their promos which promo more than any other network offered.

When I was abroad, I still remain loyal but I discovered the services is not good outside the country so a switch to the other network brand and I found out that it is really great for OFW. Sulit!

Think of SMART Communications and Globe Telecom.

What Smart Communications can offer to OFW while Abroad?
1. They will keep you in touch to your family
2. 1 Peso per text in roaming services from Philippines to any country
3. You will remain connected even though you fail to reload every 3 months after your P 300 load will expired (this is t a WOW!) yeah, I have tried it.
4. Affordable but the services is in good quality
5. Recommended!

What Globe Telecom can offer to OFW while abroad?

1. They will keep you in touch to your family
2. 1 Peso per text in roaming services from Philippines to any country
3. Your friends and family could call you as if, you are still in the Philippines as long as you have a load needed to enable their calling services
4. You would be charged at least $1.17 US Dollar or P 55.00 Peso for every minute call by your family from the Philippines and regular charges will also applied to them. (wow! This is quite expensive, but hi tech. Sucking the load of your caller and sucking your load too! Double payment!)
5. You would be disconnected if you fail to reload every 3 months after your P 300 load will expire. (Do you think this is the best? Well, I just want to unveil the secret of their services abroad, as what I have experienced)
6. Affordable but the services is also good

But I want to remind you, the Globe Telecom services in the Philippines are really good compared to Smart Communication. I am not 1 sided. I am fair. When I am here in the Philippines, I used Globe because their services are really good. They have a good mobile internet connection, good calling signal, and affordable services. I used smart too but just for some reason, but I used Globe Telecom services more often.

The SUN Cellular of DIGITEL discriminates Visayan and Mindanao?..

I just remember around last quarter of 2006 or early 2007 when I applied as a “Treasury Staff” of DIGITEL SUN Cellular for Ortigas Assignment and got discriminated by them.

I remembered that they have so many applicants for different position and we took and exam but only few of us are left and passed the examination. I have passed the First interview and then second interview; for the final interview we are only two left, and they need three.

In this situation, I consider I almost “hired”. The final interview is with their Finance Manager which supposed to be my boss. As being said by the second interviewer; “congratulations” you were for final interview and don’t worry final interview is about an orientation for your job assignment and acquaintance with the Finance Manager as formality, so I am happy.

Their Finance Manager is young, around late 20’s or early 30’s. He/she (I need not to state the gender) is simple, look so kind, but deep inside of him/her is like a boiling mud and “LAVA” of Mayon Volcano. She/he didn’t sounds so intelligent, didn’t sound smart, but nice at first. She/he acquainted with me and we are talking anything under the sun. We also talked about my job assignment and the company policies. When our conversation about to finished he/she scan again my resume and ask, you graduated in this University? So where is that really located? I said ***** City. And she/he ask where is that city located, I mean the Famous Landmarks, or any known the nearest place? I said Cagayan De Oro City. And he/she replied ah! You were from Mindanao? Your are Visaya? I said yes. He/she look at me and become silence. Then said, okay I will just call you if I will really hire you. Then it’s the end of our talk.

Because of knowing that I am a VISAYA and I am from Mindanao, the opportunity for me was lost like a smoke and just passed away. It is a simple, clear and so hurting discrimination that because I am a VISAYA, I came from Mindanao; I have no rights or last priority for any opportunity. Do you think DIGITEL and SUN Cellular is fair? Do you think it’s not a discrimination of my origin? Anyway, I could not blame them because Mindanao is really a third class citizen for them. And they never think of that most of the user and subscriber of DIGITEL Sun Cellular is from Visayas and Mindanao.

The Smart Communications good services for OFW and expatriates abroad

Smart is really – Simply Amazing for OFW and Expatriates abroad!

As what I have experienced, of course I am an independent product tester. You don’t need to teach me how to use any gadgets and services, because I am a wizard in discovering what behind its name but when it comes to SMART services for OFW, that’s what I could say recommended!

Perhaps you have read some of my topic here about smart and its competitor but SMART surmounted among others. It’s because Smart Communications/ PLDT has a strong bonds to the other Network Operators abroad.

As what I said, “Brand Loyalty” will happen only for those people who are just fine to be serve a little but for me, human should be always practical, and efficient to its tech or gadgets used at least he/she paid the price and got the good prize.

People who are OFW and Expatriates who loves to travel or work abroad, if you want a good but affordable services while outside the country, I recommend SMART.

For those who are “socsy”, unpractical, not smart and want more expensive connection while abroad then use the other network.

The Globe Telecommunications great services in the Philippines

The Globe Telecommunications great services in the Philippines




The Globe Telecommunications with its subsidiaries;
• Globe
• Touch Mobile ™
• Globe Land line Telephones services
• Globe DSL Internet
• Globe Wireless Land line telephone
• Globe Broadband Tattoo
• Other globe services

My comment is really good for nationwide services. As I have tried, Globe Telecom services are not just an ordinary services but it could vie for International competition or international standards. Though there are some instances that they are not so up-to-date in technology services, but we could still consider them as number 1 of the countries telecommunication services.

I am a tech savvy, gadget lover, advanced and scrupulous person who loves to be served at the high most satisfaction and I could say Globe services are fitted for me. I have already tried other services of Smart communication; Smart mobile internet, Smart Mobile services, smart bro, and PLDT. Smart is good too but there is something which let say a little bit difference which Tech Savvy will prefer to use Globe. I could not really say what is it but try to be a tech savvy and discover the services from Globe which they do not published. It’s really amazing.

The Globe Telecom communication site upgrades for 3G & HSDPA for better signals?

This is a wow! As what I have commented for 3G and HSDPA mobile internet connection, it would be going to obsolete very soon, so what is the worth for those upgrades?


Is it for “AT LEAST” the Philippines could have a bit faster mobile internet connection but has a GPRS speed for remote areas? So where is the sense of “SERVICE”?. I really believe that “service, service and service” or SSS is the best priority first so that the consumers will satisfy and stay longer with your services (here we will consider the brand loyalty).

Anyway, for me I will consider “At LEAST” than nothing at all. It’s a chuckling topic. Well, if the Globe Telecom updates’ for 3G and HSDPA is just for now and soon for WI-MAX mobile internet connectivity; then, I will consider it as a “BOOM”!

Since WI-MAX will lead for mobile internet connection in the future, then.. I hope Globe Telecom and Smart communications as the Giant rival Telecommunications Companies in the Philippines will think of it.
