  • Philippine Smart Communications, Inc. has joined Globe Telecom, Inc. in seeking a temporary restraining order to stop pulse billing

    Friday, January 8, 2010

    via Business World online The per pulse billing scheme is the latest of a string of new regulations for telcos in response to complaints last year of “vanishing” mobile prepaid credits or “load” due to dropped calls and “spam” text messages, among others. Regulators imposed the per pulse billing so that subscribers are charged only for actual time consumed.

    Last Dec. 16, telcos were required to adopt the per-pulse billing for calls between two different networks. Calls within the same network were subjected to the new billing scheme starting Dec. 6.

    NTC cease-and-desist orders dated Dec. 9 insisted that telcos should have billed phone calls within the same mobile network for every six seconds consumed under the new per pulse billing scheme starting Dec. 6, and that any difference between the old and new billing should be refunded.

    Globe Telecom filed its own petition before the Court of Appeals on Monday, citing similar grounds. Continue reading here http://www.bworldonline.com/main/content.php?id=4281

    Tuesday, 22 December 2009 BY DARWIN G. AMOJELAR SENIOR REPORTER  from Manila Times

    Telecommunication companies, or telcos, withdrew their unlimited text with voice call offering after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) denied their request for the suspension of the promo during the holidays.

    In a letter dated December 10, Smart Communications Inc. informed the commission that it has abandoned their application to extend its Text and Call Combo Promo, Call Night Long Promo and Smartext 30 and Smart60 for Gold Lite Subscribers.

    Philippines' Largest Telco SMART Suffers Broadband Loading Outage

    December 23, 2009 Via AHN Staff

    Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines (AHN) - If Blackberry users in North America could not surf the Internet or send emails on their smartphones, subscribers to the broadband service of the Philippines' largest telecommunication company went through a similar experience on Wednesday.

    Subscribers to Smart Telecommunications' Smart Bro service could not load their prepaid broadband service for several hours because of congestion in the company's system. Instead of receiving confirmation of their loads via short messaging service, what Smart prepaid customers got was a text message that their transaction could not be processed.

    Smart's customer assistance agents initially told callers there was nothing wrong with the system. However, when AHN checked at the Smart main office in Makati, a supervisor admitted the company is having problems with its broadband loading system and they could not provide a timetable for the return to normal operation of the loading service.
