After the May 9 network outage, Globe Telecom sent out notices to subscribers that were affected that they will be given free texts, calls and and 3G internet credits no later than May 17. That was yesterday.
“Globe Telecom is giving free call, text or mobile browsing services to customers affected during the service disruption last May 9, 2011. Customers can expect to receive an SMS from Globe to avail of the service no later than May 17, 2011.“
However, a number of reports from subs claim that they have not received any rebates until today. So we went on to Twitter and Facebook and ask readers if they also got the promised rebates.
Do chime in and share in the comments whether you got something or not. Some people are reporting they got free text messages worth Php100 while others get 50 SMS and 5 minutes call. Are those rebates worth it?
I got “FREE unlimited mobile internet, good for 1 day” on May 20. I thought they gave me 24 hours of free Internet that I could use slowly over time; turns out they essentially subscribed me to one-day SuperSurf free of charge, so I could only use the rebate on that day.
Nothing… got the text promising it, but not the credit. Globe always promises, but never delivers.
Got one day of free internet service last Friday…
Not worth the f##cking hassle of losing phone service for a day.

delayed messages since Friday!!
It started last weekend na nawawala data services ng Globe. And it’s been out for hours today. What’s happening Globe? D man lang naglabas ng advisory na may outage. =P
Haha was about to post here as well. I thought I was the only one who lost data coverage. I’m in Makati right now. Is this an isolated case?
Just got mine on Friday
Free 1 day unlimited internet. Good thing I brought my netbook along with me :D
wala sa vokabulary nila ang rebates, my globe i nternet was down for 2 weeks but i still have to pay for the whole month’s bill
none at all. also, is it just me or is anyone else also seeing some latency when sending SMS using Globe? (it takes some time before a text message is received – weird) started seeing this even before the outage, not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same..
Nagsend sa akin ang globe ng text. When you load atleast 30 on May 18-20 you will have 150 free text and 10 mins call. Pero wala man ako na receive na free txt or anu man :(
I was not affected by the outage but I received a message re: rebate. According to the message they will give free unlimited data for a day. I just brushed it off thinking it was not meant for me as I was not affected. Just a couple of days ago, I received free 15-peso autoload that they say I can use to avail one of their data plans.
just good for 1 day. kinabukasan ala na, kasi di mo nagamit. lame!
if they think it’s unwise for Globe to give out free sms/call/mobile as compensation, why send an SMS telling everyone how they TRULY VALUE their customers? can’t believe they’re fooling everyone.

TM Prepaid Subscriber here, from cagayan de oro and Unluckily experienced the globe service disruption. About the rebates, I only got 100 free text messages tm-tm/globe-globe only and for 1 day use. It’s not that bad but it is not also worthy.
