Having been a long-time subscriber on Globe and Smart for years, I was glad when they expanded their customer service to Facebook and Twitter. No more long waits and busy lines with phone calls and un-answered emails.
Or so I thought. For the past several months, the Twitter channel has been the most valuable channel for me to reach out for support or just ask questions.
So we now have @talk2globe, @smartcares and @suncelltweets operating almost 24/7 answering questions on Twitter. The channel gives us the feeling that they’re now more reachable and we get the badly needed help in the most appropriate and timely manner.
So here’s my poll question for the week — Is your telco really just a tweet away?
I’m sure our experiences will be different. My answer would be between #1 and #2. Do hit the comments for your answer.

My answer: Absolutely, yes!and
They reply back but not as fast as I expected.
They respond well whenever I tweet my concern or complains. Im a subscriber of Smart, Sun and Globe. Its not how fast they respond on Twitter but how they TAKE ACTION on our complains.
Smart responds quickly and takes action quickly.
Globe slowly reponds but takes action quickly
Sun slowly responds but takes action quickly but slower than Globe.
gerard says:
no, they’re generally slow -> globe.
slow response, even slower action.
over 1 month intermittent internet connection, and counting…

Welsh says:
Question:
Does Globe really need more ways to communicate to their customers /OR maybe the simplest solutions to their problem is TO ADD MMMOOORRRREEE EXPERIENCED AND TALENTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS to support their clients?
What are your thoughts guys?
Thanks

Sun Cellular replies in real-time via Facebook Discussions on their fan page.
Andre says:
Globe replies but the fact that you have to go through their Twitter since their hotline is so incompetent and broken is a failure.

Smart’s okay; better than making a call.
Sun is still generally slow.
Pipo says:
Globe used to respond quickly in Twitter. pero ngayon it takes hours sometimes days.

Globe:

Smart:
Non-existent or they just completely ignore me.
When Globe’s twitter service first launched they generally replied to everybody, and chatted a bit.
After 1 or 2 months I never got the attention I used to get from them like before.
Smart never replied to any one of my tweets…
Rmil Chua says:
I’m a smart subscriber and when you tweet them, sometimes they will answer you back as soon as you tweeted but sometimes it takes 24 hours before they respond.

Raymond says:
thanks for the info. i will but am happy with the 211 Customer Service of Globe and they answer quick. Let’s see what the tweets can do…
harv3y says:
Globe responded to inquiries on twitter & FB.
It makes life easier than having to fall in line at their mall stores.
Smarts also responded when I won in a contest before.
While I haven’t use Sun tweets.
