The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) had issued the Memorandum Circular dated July 3, 2009 with the subject titled as “Guidelines On Prepaid Load” to TelCos (telecommunication Companies) such as Smart Communications, Globe Telecoms, Sun etc. This is in response to complaint of Senate President Enrile about the mysterious disappearance of his prepaid load.
I’m glad that finally, they took action on this issue. A memorandum that will benefit all the prepaid users and not the telecom companies. A friend of mine will be glad that he don’t need to call me using his mobile phone when his load was about to expire. He always buy Php300 load and he is not a heavy user or texter. He doesn’t even avail of call and txt promos.
Anyway, going back to the memorandum, the new expiration or validity period are as follows:
Prepaid Load Purchased
|
Expiration/Validity Period
|
| P10 or lower |
3 days |
| P11 to P50 |
15 days |
| P51 to P100 |
30 Days |
| P101 to P150 |
45 Days |
| P151- P250 |
60 days |
| P251 – P300 |
75 days |
| above P300 |
120 days |
I don’t know if there are telecom companies that charges for balance inquiry through TXT messages but the TelCo sim I used doesn’t charged me for balance inquiry.
However, the memorandum states that for each new load that is purchased, the amount of the unused loads earlier purchased that are still within the validity period shall be added to and accumulate to the new load. The new minimum validity or expiry period shall be based on the sum of the new load plus the unused load.
I hope Senate will still investigate other problems of subsribers (prepaid and postpaid) like GPRS browsing rates and unsolicited downloads. I do have unsubscribed downloads years ago, instead of changing my sim (that means new mobile number) I called up customer service and asked for removal of all the subscriptions I accidentally subscribed. That’s it! I don’t have to worry that the downloads will be charged to next purchased load.

I heard the term from a client, she asked me if I prefer to receive the raw document or the manuscript (for hard copy book printing). Of course, I want to see the real layout so I can make the eBook almost the same as the hard copy book. Technically, a raw document is a [...]

I know, the title is kinda odd for a techie blog. I could use the common title “I’m Back” for not updating my blog for over 2 weeks. I never left blogging although I’m not that active also to my other blogs. I cannot call it as blogger’s block, its not laziness but I admit [...]

As expected, when I started doing the ebook conversion matrix, I found topics that I still haven’t discussed. There are also some articles that needs to be updated soon. Most likely, ebook conversion matrix should also be like my free ebooks download post that needs to be modified from time to time as well as [...]

For me, the easiest way to create PDF file is to install add-in driver or driver printer such as doPDF, CutePDF etc which I tried in the past. They are totally free. Of course, there are available software for the specific purpose of creating PDF files. Remember that its always been my goal to convert [...]

This blog is almost 2 years old, my articles are continuously growing about mobile ebook stuff and ebook conversion. Although I do update this blog 2-3 times a week, sometimes I was thinking if I already wrote a certain topic. Of course, I don’t want to discuss topics that have been discussed already. And duplicate [...]

I mentally take note of the release of the 8th book of The Women’s Murder Club. I usually find the ebook file two days after its release date just like what happened to Harry Potter ebooks. It seems that I lost my touch this time, I can’t find 8th Confession by James Patterson. I’ve been [...]

Java eBook Reader is the most common title used in thread titles referring to an eBook conversion software. I don’t want to mention the name of the software. Even on the official website of the said coversion tool, they are calling it as reader, when in fact that it is a conversion tool. Conversion tool [...]

Some of the ebook conversion articles I made in the past mentioned editing a MS Word DOC file before proceeding to another conversion. In this case, MS Word will serve as the “bridge” for another conversion. The reason is because most ebook converters can convert a DOC file directly. I use MS Word as [...]
