is smart going ala globe

[mnt]

is it just me, my imagination, my paranoia or is smart slowly shutting down access points?...can't use the email feature anymore and having a hard time connecting to tagtag sites today...is this just temporary or did it just do what globe did?

[donaldskie]

yes their blocking some access point. i got this info when i called their customer service hotline.

I dont get it. Why would they block access points? They are generating revenue off of it dont they?

They give u reason why?

[donaldskie]

they didn't gave me any reasons but i think if all the access points are open then we wouldn't bother accessing their wap services.. like games to download, fun pix and stuffs like that... im not really sure pero i think this is one of the reasons..

[silab]

They would be stupid then.

WE cant rely on Sun Cellular because they still havent ironed out their problems on their GPRS service.

this morning, i tested the internet access point and it worked...i called up smart and asked if there was a technical prob. last night - they said there was none....but then donaldskie said that they're indeed blocking some access points...hmmm..something's fishy here..

point is...even if we don't access their wap sites, they're still bound to earn because they charge us per kb of download, right?

[donaldskie]

hey im just giving an opinion here... that's what the customer tech support person said to me when i inquired about this... its either me that is stupid or they really have a tech support person that doesn't understand what they are saying...

donaldskie: dude, they're (smart) the ones who smell fishy

[donaldskie]

my bad... sorry bout that man...
