(i use the landline for business)<br /><br />now i'm stuck to just getting the REBATES...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688870739795137027.post-42699133744173232342013-05-30T20:57:25.930+08:002013-05-30T20:57:25.930+08:00Thanks for the feedback.

Have an application with Globe (they are the only ones with the LTE BlackBerry Z10). Maybe, I should stay put.

I don't know ho...It is always worse with Globe. I don't know how they can treat existing post paid subscribers as second class subscribers versus new applicants.<br /><br />1. Globe does not even tell subscribers about the loyalty program. Most of us knew about it from someone else. Smart informs the subscriber when it is already possible to renew and get a new phone.<br /><br />2. Globe is tricky with their 'loyalty' rewards. They don't list phones available. You have to call 211 or talk to the store CSR. It's like so few models are available at any one time and when you call again on your decision, it will be out of stock. I once asked their CSR why there were stocks available for new subscribers and not for the loyalty program, she said it is because a separate group handles the loyalty and another for the new applications. Why is that? Why can't they offer their old subscribers the same perks as new ones. In fact, old subscribers should be rewarded for sticking with them. At least with smart, on their phone pricelist, there is a column for retention plan options/price/cashout. <br /><br />3. Some people also cut off their old lines and simply apply for a new line to get their preferred phones. This only hassles the subscriber when it is just the same ultimately. It just adds to Globe's processing costs and customer unhappiness. <br /><br />4. For Globe loyalty program, it is always the subscriber who must painstakingly go through the retention process. Most people end up angry and slighted. I sometimes wonder whey they even have a loyalty program in the first place. I once was offered my preferred phone only when I decided to terminate my line already, it's really a slap in the face.<br /><br />Maybe they are very happy when there is a high number of new subscriptions. But I'm sure there is a high number of terminations because of their loyalty program policies. Maybe the termination rates are very low compared to new applications. Maybe they are just arrogant. maybe they think they still have ace up their sleeves when they have none. Iphone is no longer exclusive, smart is hitting them from low to high with its multiple brands Sun,PLDT. <br /><br />All of my friends who have transferred to Smart are happy with their customer service. I am also jumping ship next month after my Globe contract ends. Goodbye to my 13 or 14 year old Globe number.Josephnoreply@blogger.com
