What's your experience with this service?

no one in cebu has experience this service yet coz april 15 paman ni siya available diri.

issues i have with it based on the answered from globe personnel:
1) can't select the number (its auto generated)
2) higher cost (than sun unlimited call & text 350 or pldt+ 300)
3) no 1-800 access (no toll free access to creditcard company,samsung hotline, etc.)
4) ad is misleading saying that only calls outside the area code 02 or 032 will be charged NDD rates while in truth you can only get free calls from the same area code. meaning if your using 02, you can't make free calls to 032 (unlike real globe landlines)
5) this is a PROMO only. what if i decide to get it and abandon my nice number pldt+. after 3 months they decide to end the promo and terminate my DUO. have to change numbers again.
6) to dial out you need to include the area code. unlike pldt+ just the 7 digit number thats it.

i get very poor signal sa globe in my room. while pldt+ give me full bars. but i think for most of cebu globe signal is good.

From what I understand as long as you're a Globe postpaid subscriber, any mobile phones man tingali...I think this is the advantage of this offer from Globe since unlike Bayan and PLDT+ where u need to get another phone/unit...if I'm not mistaken, Bayan Wireless and PLDT plus is on a CDMA platform thats why u need another unit...pero this one, GSM perhaps? not so sure...today lang sad ko kabalo ani nga product...and read some info on it from other blogs sad...lets ask from someone from Globe nalang...
