In just 4 days my bill is 3K. I called globe customer service several times and they told that they would log a case and someone would call me within the day. No one called. I also requested them to deactivate my GPRS because according to my friend this is the reason why my bill reach a thousand.

You have to erase the APN entry (under Cellular Data) then turn off and on your unit. In my first bill from Globe I got 360hrs of GPRS. That's 15 whole days! In fact, I only used the GPRS three times. My latest bill for GPRS is now only 75 minutes which is about right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305795.post-4072899787673712712009-05-07T11:01:00.000+08:002009-05-07T11:01:00.000+08:00Cancel your subscription to Globe.
