Globe implements Load Watch for Prepaid Subs

Listen to article

これは Globe Telecom が 2 月 14 日に共有してくれたものですが、完全に忘れていました。HTC Titan でテストするために彼らがくれたプリペイド SIM カードを使ったときに、再び思い出しました。

いずれにせよ、概念はとてもシンプルです――ロードクレジットを使用するたびにSMSアラートが届きます。

電話をかけて切ると、Globeから残りのロード量を知らせるSMSが送られます。これにより、現在の残高が把握でき、常にロードクレジットの状況が更新されます。

このサービスは、プリペイドロードクレジットが謎のように消える問題(人々は長年「nakaw load」と呼んでいます)に起因しており、調査は通常加入者にとって好ましい結果には至りませんが、このLoad Watchはそれを防ぐのに役立つかもしれません。

現在、このサービスはプリペイド加入者のみが利用可能です(無料で自動的に適用されるため、何もアクティベートする必要はありません)。

他の人もプリペイドアカウントでこのサービスに気づきましたか? これを便利な機能と考えますか?

very useful nga naman to…pro meron pa rin akong na observed na glitch recently…and because of this I realized na meron pa ring nakaw na nangyayari…

I loaded P40 tapos I registered the P25 for the SUPERUNLI CALL AND TXT ALL DAY…the next day with the load watch thingy the system automatically generated a message reminding me that the load is nearing to its expiration time…so, that scenario is actually good ‘coz I have an idea that I can no longer use the promo until then…to make the story shorter…since I still have the P15 remaining balance on the account…pwede pa sana akong mag.txt or tumawag…pero to find out after nag.expire ang promo…d ko na magamit ang remaining P15 kasi sabi ng LOADWATCH ala na daw akong load…

grabe naman ang aking P15 asan na…ninakaw…

many times na to nangyari sa akin…tapos twice nangyari sakin ang pag load ng P40 tapos ni.register sa Superunli call and txt na ninakaw ang remaining balance na P15…

I’m not familiar how the NAKAW LOAD works.

Yes, it’s a useful feature.

I love this feature. Tamad ako mag-check ng load kaya nakakatuwa na malalaman ko na kung paubos na load after a text. Nagpapadala sila ng warning pag less than P5 nalang load mo.

ito ba ang pantapat nila sa anti bill shock of other telecoms? the notifications is irritating considering na calling is [paty of my job. any idea how to deactivate?

What I find very useful before, was Globe’s text message telling you of who tried to call you when your phone was off or unattended or have no signal/unreachable.

But they’ve removed that feature… sana ibalik nila ulit yun!

Our telcos really love the prepaid subs. When will they show same love for postpaid users? :)

It is not a SMS alert but just a “Show-up message.” When we are on our trip to Bataan, I called my mother and after that call, a flash message just apperead about my load balance. No SMS message…… :)

…but I think this service is available only when one makes a call,there is no load watch when a text message is sent or a globe service is availed of. and it is these services (subscription) which are usually used to “nakaw” the load.

ay! The first time I got my Moto Drodi razr, I notice this message popping out after my call. Kala ko dahil lang sa phone ko hehehhe kaya pala its a service of globe. Well honest its nice having such service, atleast I can track the calls.

As per IDD calls, I was told hinde na daw hawak ng globe kasi depende na din daw sa telco na tinatawagan. I suggest using Globe IDD card (instead of tipid IDD). Atleast kung mabawasan man ang load mo, charge to minute or less lang, somtimes walang charge, unlike tipid IDD, 3 minutes call will all be lost if there is a connection error to their (abroads) network.

Ive been having mine since last year. Pero its more of a notification/alert

Last year pa ito actually. Hindi siya SMS, more like a notification. Tsaka sa calls lang siya. Kasi kunwari you use the internet, you consume some load credits. So ang kulit naman kung bawat bawas sa load may notification, di ba?

I’ve been receiving a notification after I finished a call for a very long time now. I can’t remember when exactly but it’s been going on for months now

it’s useful naman. pero minsan di pa rin maiwasan ang “nakaw load” Deducting as little as one peso each time a per second IDD call fails to connect is nakaw, right? But still, I’m loyal to Globe. Can’t imagine myself saying “ito ang smart number ko:09 blah-blah” lol

In my experience, Globe sends me sms/notification once my load is less than 5php. I’m not sure for now if there’s changes coz I’m currrently registered to Immortal promo :)

Its just that its a BILL SHOCKER moment when your unli surf subscription is over you will see reminders every 15 mins which is good :)

I have tried it on prepaid and its already activated. The alert only arrives after calls which is pretty handy.

I believe it only notifies you of your load after a call. Besides, it’s not an SMS alert, it’s just a notification that you can dismiss anytime.

I think nakikita ko na ito since January pa, nung unang nakita ng kuya ko eh nagtaka siya kung ano itong lumalabas kahit hindi naman siya nag-iinquire ng load balance.

“…you get an SMS alert every time you use your load credits.”

So, let’s say, everytime you text someone (on a non-Unli text sub), you get a text from Globe detailing how many credits you have left? Or is this only applicable for calls?

I dunno, maybe they should just emulate Sun’s Inquiry feature. Nice try though.
