Minimizing Cost on International Calls to the US and Canada with Globe Tattoo Internet, Magic Jack and Skype

Telcos offer as low as P2/min on international calls on the mobile phone. However, calls placed using the internet is a lot cheaper. Voice Over IP has been around since 1996. The first VOIP used the H.323 protocol instead of the more prevalent SIP protocol we use today.

The traditional telephone is slowly being replaced with broadband internet telephony or VOIP. During its initial stages, the "Internet Phone" had a very poor audio as compared to the traditional phone due to the lack of high speed or broadband internet. Today, all the issues that accompanied the "Internet Phone" in the early nineties have all been adressed.

10 Inch Fast Pad Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4 Sold by CDR-King Works with Globe Tattoo Stick E153u-2

The 10 inch Fast Pad (Android ICS 4.0.3) Tablet sold at CDR-King is for me a nice gadget to have for its price. I could make use of it as a document storage, note-keeper and book reader. But one thing came to my mind. How about internet capability?

10" Tablet FastPad Android ICS 4.0.3

The Fast Pad is WiFi ready but how about if you go to places where it's not available. So I asked one of the sales ladies if it is 3g capable. The answer was affirmative but there are only a few dongles that it could support. They are:

Globe Telecom Offers Internet Protection for the Family with the SurfSafe Add-On Featuring McAfee AntiVirus Plus & McAfee Family Protection

Surfing online without any security is very dangerous. We are exposing ourselves to viruses, malware/addware, online scams/fraud and worst identity theft. Credit card and bank credentials can be easily sniffed by hackers so easily when we are not protected online.

Emails we open are sometimes armed with malwares that are executed in the background without us knowing. The virus is only executed once and it disappears from your computer once the purpose have been achieved. Without a first line of defense, in this manner data can be stolen which includes but not limited to the identity of the user, financial information, sensitive corporate data and so much more.

Weak Signal Related to Wimax CPE BM622 RF Cable Connector

Last night a friend asked me to test her area to determine if she could apply for a Globe Wimax Broadband. She uses a competitor broadband internet provider and she claims she is no longer happy with it.

Hesitant I am because when I consulted the Gems Map (Coverage Area Map) it's very clear that her area is no longer covered. So I told her, no coverage but she insisted. So I took my BM622 Wimax modem and a spare antenna for testing purposes and proceeded to their place and with a very confident tone I told her "you will be satisfied tonight that your area is not covered".

Wireless Express Connect (WEC) The Fastest & Most Convenient Globe Wimax Internet Installation Method

WEC as we normally say, is the fastest, easiest and the most convenient way of applying for a new Globe Wimax Internet for the home. The process involved is a complex method made easy by Globe Agents and Installers all working together to achieve a common goal of making the application and installation process as quick as possible.

This convenience can only be possible when the application is processed by an Agent (TPA such as me). Depending on the time of day you applied for a Wimax Internet connection from an Agent, the installation is is usually done same day (morning application) or if you applied in the afternoon, it will be installed the next day. In contrast to Globe Business Centers, the applicant will have to wait for at least 3 business days prior to onsite visit and installation.

Easy Repair Service Request Procedure Using Your Globe/TM Mobile

Reporting concerns regarding Globe Postpaid and Globe broadband can be easily accessed by dialing 211 on your Touch Mobile or Globe Mobile Phone. For prepaid, a minimum load balance of P7.50 is required to access 211. The Call-in service (211) is toll free and is available 24/7. However, Live Agents are only available from 8 AM to 8 PM.

I myself hate calling 211 due to the lenghty voice prompts and sometimes a time comsuming litany of advertisements are being played. I know that this is just one way of holding a client a little more before reaching the preoccupied Live Call-in Agents.

High Gain Wimax Antennas for "Weak Signal" Areas

Globe Telecoms released what it calls "Gems Map" late year 2011 to address weak signal problems in the country. This Map limited the availability of Wimax Broadband Internet from the original 5 KM radius to 1-2 Kilometer radius from the Node.

Wimax Gems Map for Laoag City

This move had a profound impact in terms of sales for us due to a reduced coverage area. Originally covered areas can no longer apply for a Wimax Broadband Internet due to a limitation imposed by Globe Telecom itself.

Getting to Know Your Wimax Antenna from the Inside and Out

Have you ever wondered how the Wimax antenna look like from the inside? Well, of course we are always curious so I dissambled one, because I  myself have been mystified by this white rectangular box being attached on a pole and placed on the roof whenever a Globe Wimax Internet is being installed.
Before I show you what I found, let's look at the detailed product descrption:

Globe Wimax Speed Boost Option, Add-On Price and Details

Globe Telecom launched what it calls Project Overlord, a project that enabled an add-on to an existing or new Globe Wimax Broadband client. This Add-On is specially created to clients that demand higher internet speed during a specific timeframe at a minimal cost added to the client's base plan subscribed to.

Below is another scanned image from the flyers we distribute. See for yourself and decide which one is best suited for your surfing habit.

Remedies for Globe Wimax Weak Signal Problem

A client once complained to me, "When you installed my Wimax, the signal was very good, but now I only have one bar." Then I continued to ask him when was your Wimax connected? He replied "Oh it's been two years from now!"

This casual conversation prompted me to inspect his antenna and modem. I performed several tests and found out that nothing is wrong with the devices. I went out and found out that a tree had grown in two years time between the Node (Globe's Antenna Tower) and his Wimax antenna. So it's very obvious that the signal quality degraded in time due to a blockade caused by the tree.

Bored at 1Mbps? Get a Globe Wimax Bundle a Cheap 2 Mbps and Voice Capable Solution

Here in the Philippines, we normally see offers from Telcos with 1 Mbps at roughly P1,000 pesos per month service fee. This has become the norm for residential Wide Area Network (WAN) access. So. relatively Telcos are asking P1,000 pesos per 1Mbps bandwidth for household or personal use.

Globe Telecom on the other hand, would like to double the fun for the home consumer. Last month, (May 2012) it introduced Project Overlord, hence the Speed Boost Option. This add-on will increase the current speed from 1 Mbps to 2 Mbps on a predefined time.

LAN Setting for Globe Wimax 2 Mbps Bundle for Windows

Some home LAN owners complain that Globe Tattoo@Home Wimax is not suited for LAN. They complain about not being able to access some websites or play online games when Globe Wimax is shared across a Home Network whether LAN or WiFi. They would usually complain about weak signal or not getting the bandwidth they were promised.

Ok, so we will deal with that issue today. So what is the problem? Is it a DNS issue? or No Connectivity Issue? It's none of the above. Calling 211 or Customer Service will NOT touch on the issue of MTU or Maximum transmission Unit. So read on...

Build A Home Network with Globe Tattoo@Home Wimax 2 Mbps Bundle

Sharing the internet with family is the best way to take advantage of the Globe Tattoo@Home Wimax 2 Mbps Bundle. Aside from the voice capability of this package, it is also a quick seller.

Sharing the Globe Tattoo@Home Wimax 2 Mbps via WiFi is the quickest method, since most devices and gadgets now have WiFi capability. Another is sharing across a home LAN if safety from RF radiation is a concern. A LAN requires switches and cables to distribute bandwidth in different areas which in my opinion is harder to implement but this set-up is more secure and a lot safer.

Globe Tattoo@Home Wimax/DSL SOP: Credit Checking & Sample Application Requirements

Prior to approval of any of Globe Telecom's Service Application, a credit check is performed based on the following information: Name of Subscriber, Birthdate and Mother's Full Maiden Name. Upon completion of the Application Form, a credit check follows which determines your eligibility for service application approval. Un-settled payments for services even decades ago will disqualify the applicant immediately. If you are a victim of an identity theft, visit any Globe Wireless Center and request for a copy of the service applied under your name and follow whatever is advised to clear your name.
