Globe, NO Unlimited SMS on Holidays
Last December 24, 2007, I tried sending UNLITXT20 to 2870 for the unlimited SMS until December 25, 2007. To my surprise, the message fails. I called the Globe hotline and I was informed that there’s a problem with that service and it will be back within the day. But I tried sending to 2870 until 12am of December 25, 2007. Still no luck.
Now, it’s already December 31, 2007 and I’m trying to register again for the unlimited SMS. Still no luck. Globe even blocked that number as you can see that sending message to 2870 fails right away.
All I can say is that Globe deliberately removed the unlimited SMS during the holidays. This is a malicious act from them instead of helping people nationwide to cut down their cost to send greetings to their family, friends and relatives in the spirit of Christmas and New Year.
I think Globe should consider giving back at least 50% worth of load spent during December 24-25, 2007 and December 31-January 1, 2007 to show that the they’re sorry for the service interruptions that they didn’t intentionally did it for that sake to make much more money while everyone are force to spend their hard earned money just to send their greetings instead of buying foods to celebrate.
