Hello mga bros and sis! I hope this piece of information will help.
I have been using Globe Tattoo. Ma-o ni ang advantages niya over Smart Bro.
1. Charge/Rate - 5 pesos for 15 minutes. You might say it's the same with Smart's 10 pesos for 30 minutes... remember inig-konek nimo mupatak dayon ang charge per hour so kung mugamit ra ka ug less than 15 minutes, sa Globe 5 pesos ra ang makuha sa load, unlike sa Smart, bisag 1 minute ra imong gamit, 10 pesos na dayon ang kaltas.
2. Gwapa ang models sa Globe Tattoo commercials hehehe... ug cool ilang designs sa USB modem.
Regarding sa signal, I guess it all depends sa area.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!
Hinay kaayo ang signal namo diri sa haus, then nag-research ko sa lain-lain nga fora... one "forumer" suggested external antenna or booster cable... naa kuno ni sa CDR King tig P300 man tingali.
Then I researched some more and came across DIY signal boosters - daghan ni sa youtube, metacafe, etc.
Very simple ra... I used an aluminum soda can, fashioned it into a parabolic design and placed the USB modem at the middle... EFFECTIVE kaayo! Kataw-anan lang ug dagway pero effective. perteng kusoga sa akong GLobe Tatoo ron
Try lang... and research some more, you'll be "pleasantly" surprised what you'll discover, like I did...
