Globe Tattoo Prepaid = A Worthless Piece of Crap - PinoyExchange
This blog article by Jessica Zafra (titled "LIVID") made me LOL so much
Quote: : Scanners by David Cronenberg
This is me, livid with rage.
You can tell I am livid with rage because I am smiling but my teeth are not showing.
If my teeth are showing, it is a real smile.
This smile says, I am going to dismember you and feed the chunks to your children. Yes, I am going to go Titus Andronicus on your ***, and I dont care that you dont know what a Titus Andronicus is.
I am catatonic with fury because not only has my schedule been disrupted by my futile attempts in the last 12 hours to connect to the Internet using a prepaid Globe Tattoo portable broadband gadget, but a total of P430 which I loaded onto the Globe Tattoo prepaid SIM has disappeared into the ether.
Which leads to the inescapable conclusion: GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
I had intended to review the Globe Tattoo Prepaid in my Gadgets column on Sunday, but blogging is faster and I do not have to wait three days to say that GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
Do I sound unnaturally calm?
I always sound too calm when I am livid with rage, my voice drops an octave, and I talk twice as fast as I usually do, which is FAST.
Unlike the slow, inefficient, unreliable, and now thieving GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
From the time I acquired a mobile phone five years ago I have been a postpaid subscriber.
This is my first experience with a prepaid SIM, and I say to you prepaid mobile users: Youre getting screwed.
We postpaid subscribers dont get billed until weve used the service, and if the service fails we do not get charged.
You have to pay before you get the service, and if you dont get the service, the provider is not compelled to address the problem because hey, theyve already taken your money.
Whoopee-doo.
Consider this little experiment.
The SIM of the GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT USELESS PIECE OF CRAP, could connect to the Internet easily enough, but its speed did not exceed 2 kbps.
The unit still had a load of P100, which I know because I saved all the confirmation texts and balance reports.
On the chance that the prepaid SIM was damaged, I took it out and replaced it with the postpaid SIM from my phone.
Holy Cannoli, it worked perfectly.
It achieved speeds I never knew were possible on GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT USELESS PIECE OF CRAP.
Hmmm. Postpaid, fast.
Prepaid, so slow as to be nonexistent.
Draw your conclusion.
I know how these problems are always solved.
You complain to someone you know high up in the Globe hierarchy, and the problem goes away.
It is as if the problem never occurred, everyone is charming, and Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala will say, Hey, how about that new Stieg Larsson book. Guess what, I am not calling the overlords.
This is not about friendship.
Globe, youre going to deal with me as a consumer.
A very loud consumer.
I blog every single day, and I enjoy it.
For starters, explain to me how the balance on my GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT USELESS PIECE OF CRAP, can go from P308 to P142 in 12 minutes of surfing at 0.00 kbps, and where the P100 from last night went.
Now. Comment. Spread the word.

Hmm... not unless she said...
It didnt exceed 2kpbs when i locked it to HSDPA...
I wont believe.
there are people who use the tatoo or sun or smart bro without locking it to the faster signal...
The GPRS speed is sooo bad especially when you load big sites.
People who use it dont even know that feature existed.
i am not saying its fast...
But people should put it to hsdpa mode first then comment.
I have personally used it...
It's not blazing fast i agree...
But it's not slow either.

Same sentiments...
I also have a globe tattoo prepaid kit...
Speed sucks... takes you 10 minutes to log in yahoo mail...
Then after that kapoot..
I tried using old dial up in my laptop...
Damn... mas mabilis pa ang dial up...
Btw... signal is around WCDMA...
Sorry yun nababasa ko sa tattoo window e...
any avenues wherein we can officially voice this out...
kasi pag sa Business centers mo dalin to..
Malamang maganda strength dun and sasabihin nila...
Sir ok naman a...

Sa totoo lang, dapat i sue na natin globe prepaid na yan....animal...
Peste sobrang bagal sa kung bagal, 2 mbps daw?
Taena kahit 1 kbps wala.
Unfair advertising, false claims

Mas mabagal pa sa dial-up ang Globe Tattoo Prepaid dito sa area ng Pablo Ocampo, Singalong.
Buti pa nga ang dial-up may nararating ka, sa globe tattoo wala ako nabrorbrowse.
Mas okay dito ang Smart Bro.

I locked it to HSDPA and ganun talaga, connected pero hindi nagba-browse.
I did what zafra did - inserted my postpaid globe sim to the stick and voila!
Parang may kayakap ng router ang laptop ko.
inquired kung bakit ganun, ang sagot ng globe, depende daw kasi sa number.
Kapag 0917- ang number, good connection daw.
Forgot the technical mumbo-jumbo that they used, basta it has something to do with some phase-to-phase upgrade and naunang na-configure ang 0917- numbers sa system nila.
Soon daw, lahat nang numbers ay okay na.
that was 4 months ago.
Hanggang ngayon, i have the same problem with Tattoo.
it's 20 pesos per hour, 5 pesos per 15 minutes.
Kung less than 15 minutes but more than 5 minutes kang connected, they'll deduct 5 pesos.
strangely, pag lumampas ka sa 15-30-45-60-minute mark, bigla syang bumabagal, mabu-bwiset ka, to the point na idi-disconnect mo na lang and try a fresh connection.
Goodbye na ang 5 pesos mo.
Observe nyo lang, bigla talaga syang nagiging 0.0kbps pag na-breach mo ang 15-30-45-60 time.

I can just imagine Jessica Zafra being livid.
pero oo, ang pangit nga ng globe tattoo, tried it before, running/connected siya pero puro server error sa mga browsers.
that was then when it was still introduced at 1800 ++?
how much more ngayon na nasa 500 na lang iyan.
Yay!

Para namang BS yung explanation ng Globe.
i have a SmartBro usb modem.
I've used both the SmartBro sim and a standard Smart Buddy sim and the speed is consistent.
I lock the signal to UMTS/HSPA 850MHz to achieve the highest speeds.
Globe and Sun only use 2100MHz for 3G/HSDPA.

Ako may globe tattoo prepaid din.
Yung connection nya "SOBRANG BAGAL!" (with matching low voice in the commercial) kahit i-lock mo sa WCDMA yung connection.
Sa sobrang bwisit ko, in-openline ko na lang then salpak ng SMART or SUN.
ayun, ok na internet connection ko.

Paano po magpa-openline ng globe tattoo kit?
Huawei po yung usb modem ko.
Thanks.

If she's making a living of using the internet, she shouldn't have relied on ONE mobile broadband provider.
Dumb@ss b1tch.

I must agree with Jessica Zafra with that one.
Ambilis nga mag-connect tapos ni Google di kaya buksan.
Buti nalang hiniram lang namin yung Tattoo ng pinsan ng bf ko to test sa bahay,

My girlfriend uses Globe Tattoo (but the unit is still branded as Visibility) and I use Smart Bro Prepaid.
Side by side, Smart Bro is better by leaps and bounds.
|

|
|

|
|
|

Im using Globe Visibility (that's tatoo of the old era) and speed is normal to fast but not slow most of the time
Just remember to lock your connection to 3G and make sure HSDPA and connection mo and not WCDMA (that's crap).

1) How is she "making a living off using the internet?"
2) So in other words, you're saying that if a mobile broadband provider sucks, it's the user's fault that s/he doesn't have a back-up?
R ght... and she's the dumbass, huh?
Anyway...
Apparently, she's still livid
Quote: : Number of times I have taken up my concerns with Globe representatives: 2.
On Thursday morning at 1 am, I called the Globe helpline 211 and told a tech support person about the vanished load.
He said to call back in 24 hours if the load still had not arrived.
I said, Isnt loading supposed to be instantaneous?
He said, Yes, but there may be system maintenance going on in your area blablabla, call back in 24 hours.
On Friday at midnight I checked the balance on the GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
The load had not arrived.
Rien nada nothing.
On Thursday afternoon smoke started coming out of my ears.
To vent my rage I asked my friend who works at the ad agency handling the Globe account to have a Globe tech person call me.
At 2.30 pm I got a call from a Globe rep who listened to the history of my GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID HELL.
I tried to be polite, though Im told that my polite voice is even more terrifying than my regular tone.
The Globe rep said he had an idea what the cause of the problem was, but he would have to check his theory.
Exactly 24 hours have elapsed since that conversation, and no one has gotten back to me.
Perhaps the Globe rep had to get skin grafts on his smoldering ear after that phone call.
Lest we be viewed as unreasonable, let us explain why we say GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
1.
It works right after you have reloaded, well enough to make you think that the service will be fine from that moment on.
However, as your load decreases, so does the speed, and when the load is down to half, the connection starts fluctuating rapidly from 15 kbps to 0 then 23 then 0 then 80 to 0 and so on, always going to zero.
You cannot open a page with a connection like that, much less download a file.
I tried reloading by text even before the previous load ran out, and what do you know, the connection speed shot right up!
GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP THAT EATS MONEY.
2.
To my knowledge, the connection cost is P5 for 15 minutes.
Often the connection fluctuates wildly within those 15 minutes, so youre not really getting 15 minutes of service.
And then the connection terminates itself before the 15 minutes are up!
But it has already eaten your P5, because GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP THAT EATS MONEY.
3.
Sometimes the connection is stable, and you manage to surf with relative ease for 30, even 44 minutes.
At 44 minutes, 45 seconds, you hit Disconnect.
But the unit takes a long time to disconnect, and when the timer stops its at 45 minutes, 2 seconds.
Those two seconds cost the same as 15 minutes because GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP THAT EATS MONEY.
4.
There are times when you cannot connect at all.
Perhaps there is no Globe signal in my area.
. .and I live in Makati!
Oddly enough, my postpaid Globe mobile phone always works.
Could it be that GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP BECAUSE IT IS PREPAID?
Do prepaid users not deserve the same level of service as postpaid users, who after all make up a small portion of the user base?
5.
I was unused to the ways of prepaid loading, so in September I bought a Globe prepaid load card in order to try it out.
However the fine print on the card said it would only work with a Globe prepaid SIM.
I was not in the mood to turn off my cellphone, replace the SIM, load it using the card, turn off the phone again, put my postpaid SIM back, turn the phone on, etc.
My sister has a prepaid Globe cellphone so I asked her to load the P100 into her phone, then text the load to me.
Which she did. She got a confirmation text.
The load send by text never made it to THE GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.
Apparently, the ether ate it.
Im just getting started.
Jessica, dont you have more exciting things to do than rant about a useless gadget that gyps the public?
Yes, but this is easy because I write very fast.
Unlike GLOBE TATTOO PREPAID, THAT WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.

OA? It is not OA to voice your concern about a money sucking worthless piece of crap the Globe Tatto Broadband is.
She has every right to act that way since she obviously paid some good money for such a lousy service.
Wouldn't you do the same thing?
I'm with her all the way on this one.
