NTC mulls removing Prepaid Load Expiry

sana nga..kc kpag di nagamit say yung 30 load mo within 15 days,…automatic mawawala…so ano ipinag kaiba nila sa magnanakaw?? Parang kinupit na lang bigla yung 30 mo sa bulsa….

Marami nang ginawang order ang NTC pero hindi naipapatupad:
No unsolicited sms / spam – pero tuloy pa rin
80cents / regular sms – piso pa din
Owner registration of sim – wala pa rin.
Nakaw load – sabi nila nangyayari pa rin
Reliability / speed of internet – wala pa rin
Free market selling of load – monopolize.pa rin by area

Of course I don’t want telcoms’ to go out of business (I doubt that anyway) nor have their sales plunge down, but the logic that loads are like currency is true, so why does it suddenly vanish due to expiration.

HAHAHA mej agree ako jamB na para ngang pagnanakaw, pero legal(oh the irony of society).

Is there is supposed to be a technical reason why there are expiration dates? What if keeping all the loads in the system including all those sim cards which were thrown away years ago costs them money? just like a hard drive getting full, the telcos might have cost savings by deleting old unused loads and hopefully they’ll pass those savings on to us (I know, malabo but lets dream anyway).

If that’s so then a compromise like maybe 6 months to a year before the 100 peso load expires would be an acceptable compromise. Or maybe some other kind of expiration like you have to consume at least one peso per X amount of time otherwise the load expires. If X = 1 year and you had a 15 peso load, as long as you text once a year, your load lasts 15 years. Ok na yun, 15 yrs

Actually napatupad na ata or hndi ko lang napansin. Sun text to globe is 0.89 hahaha. may 9 cents. Sa totoo lang hndi nyo ba napapansin na talagang kinukunan tayo ng pera ng mga telcos. just compare it sa mga telcos ng ibang bansa, from their prepaid, post-paid, broadband, DSL, and even their loyalty rewards and retention schemes are really good. syempre may mga bulok parin sa kanila based on customers experience (I worked for an Aussie telco few years ago) hahaha.. Tapos sa kanila punta ka lang ng shop pag labas mo may postpaid ka na meron ka pang high end phone. potek dito ilang papel pa ang isusubmit mo para lang makakuha ka ng postpaid plan. Better yet buy a postpaid sim sa kanila then buy a phone in the gray market. I hope na bigyan talaga ng higpit ng government yung mga telco na yan para ma disiplina.
