Globe's stupid anti spam policy... great idea... stupid implementation
"SPAM is the abuse of electronic messaging systems. SPAM messages are not necessarily offensive, and may inform the person to join a cause, join a training, apply for a loan or campaign for a politician."
"Globe has decided to reinforce the control measures on text SPAM to protect our valued subscribers from unsolicited SMS broadcasts. Rest assured that we are always looking for ways to serve our subscribers better."
(source)
Protection from unwanted spam... it's really a good idea but they are not even able to distinguish real calls from spam.
Globe's promo, Super Unli was supposed to give their subscribers UNLIMITED calls all day. My boyfriend and I use the promo to call each other every day... and apparently, calling someone everyday is a violation of the "Fair use policy" and you will not be able to subscribe to any promo they have.
It's so stupid... any call is spam for them
It's downright FRAUD! In the dictionary FRAUD is defined:
ReplyDelete1. Intentional deception resulting in injury to another person.
2. A person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. Something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage
To see how deceitful Globe is, review their ad for SuperUnli 25 at:

"Imagine, sa SuperUnli 25, you're connected to MILLIONS of people! You make MILLIONS of calls! And send MILLIONS and MILLIONS of texts! Buong araw, buong gabi! UNLIMITED!"
It's so funny I could puke!
"Deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" - I agree
ReplyDeleteThey say they wanted to protect us from spam, for all we know... It's just "all about the money"
They target the frequent unli subscribers because they know these subscribers call more than text.. more charged calls for them
