Smart Bro? Globe Tattoo? Sun? ewan...I want to have internet connection when I am outside...
http://www.nomad4ever.com/2009/08/17/3gumts-internet-smartbro-or-globe-tattoo-in-the-philippines/
bookmarking it here, so I can consider the options...while I am using wired PLDT DSL, I always wanted to have a backup when I travel to my hometown..unfortunately, when I tried Globe Visibility before (I think its now Tattoo) it had no signal in my own building (and yes, I was in the middle of Makati CBD)...
maybe I will take a look at getting something in the near future...
Whenever I go to Pinas, I buy Smart first. Globe is my backup. I am talking about SIM cards. I wish their plans are like the one I have here with TMobile where I can call anywhere in the continental USA including Alaska with unlimited minutes. My land line can call anywhere for free in the US,Alaska, Canada, Guam, Trust territories and Guantanamo Bay (as if I know somebody there..he he he).
Kaya sila Val, Oselle at BNK and my cousins I can always call them anytime. OK ang kuwentuhan namin palagi.
Globe pa din :D smart and sun sucks big time. Pero kidding aside consider mo yung mga locations na pupuntahan mo palagi. Then try to use your charms at humiram ka ng visibility, smart at SUN na connection. Saka mo itry sa mga location na yun :D
or just use your phone as a modem. That's what I do whenever I am desperate for a connection :D
i checked out the site, what is this UMTS PC card he is talking about? like the sierra wireless card daw... are these cards available in the philippines?
the hubby uses smartbro when he is up in the mountains and he has no problem with it. now that i have to go up to the mountains more i need connection... so i was planning to buy another smartbro dongle but the card he is talking about seems like a cheaper option.
Globe Visibility before (Tattoo yata ngayon) sucked actually for me..humiram ako nong sa office..bah! walang signal dito sa tinirhan ko..e tokwa..nasa gitnaan ako ng CBD..pero of course, if you go to the swimming pool area..ayan..alangan naman 12 midnight don ako mag work..hehehe...
haha! I had temporary henna tattoo before already, on my hand..that's good enough for me to say I tried it...perish the thought of permanent tattoos...
speaking of which, is this the reason why Globe Visibility is renamed? kc before they were not that "visible"..or iba tlaga ang Globe Tattoo?
I certainly prefer wired, more reliable...esp on rainy, stormy days :-)
but I still would like backup when I go out...as it is, am chained to my chair and the wired dsl..
and if ever somebody reads this and does the UMTS PC card, please do buzz as to where you got it..and how...I checked online, parang Sierra website kc..

ay, dapat kasama Pinas para tawagan mo rin kami...hahaha!
ReplyDelete(di na macontento dito sa Multiply, Facebook and YM)...
I really wish. Kumuha ka ng Vonage para matawagan kita palagi. I can call any Vonage phone line for free. O kaya yung Magic Jack.
ReplyDeleteif free yan, pwede...otherwise, am scrimping judiciously...

ReplyDeletehaving gone around to remote areas, i find that smart has more presence than globe. yong mga kasama kong may globe kawawa.
ReplyDeletealam mo, gusto ko yan sana ma try eh..pano ba Manong M?
ReplyDeleteyung sinasabi nya na card, tapos yung SIM namin isalpak?
pero diosme..ang mahal din per minute..huhuhu!

ReplyDeleteyan ang gusto ko rin malaman..but I think such cards are available..or else one can order online
ReplyDeleteI like the idea nga na ganon eh..at least pwede ka mag shift around to other SIMS na gamitin mo if walang signal..
yes, mas ok nga eh..tanungin kaya natin sa link nya..hehe!
ReplyDeleteSir B, are you bringing along Smart Bro para makapag internet ka when you go on trips?
ReplyDeletei think smart bro is good when you are mobile. but depends on location too...i still use pldt dsl.
ReplyDeleteKalimutan mo na yang wireless wireless na yan! Mag pa tattoo ka na lang na tunay. Sa may bandang left ng le-eg mo sa baba ng tenga.
