Longer Validity Period for Mobile Phone Loads (Eye)
When I received a confirmation SMS from Globe regarding a mobile phone load, I was surprised to see that the regular 60 day validity period had been lengthened to 120 days.
Then, I remembered a conversation with friends, where the subject of mobile phone loads had been brought up, and, how Senator Enrile was riled up against the telecommunications companies.
A quick search produced the pleasing confirmation that the longer validity period is not temporary.
Manila Times reports on the National Telecommunications Commission new guidelines.
On July 3, as a consequence of the marathon Senate hearings ordered by Enrile, National Telecommunications Commission Commissioner Ruel Canobas issued a circular on prepaid load guidelines.
The new memorandum said the validity of a P10-or-less load credit is valid for up to three days; up to seven days for P10 to P20 load; up to 10 days for P20 to P30 load; up to 14 days for P30 to P40 load; up to 17 days for P40 to P50 load; up to 20 days for P50 to P60 load; up to 24 days for P60 to P70 load; up to 21 days for P70 to P80 load; up to 30 days for P80 to P90 load; up to 45 days for P100 to P150 load; up to 60 days for P150 to P200 load; up to 90 days for P200 to P300 load; up to 150 days for P300 to P600 load; and up to 180 days for P600 to P1,000 load.
The new guidelines require Smart, Globe, Sun, and other mobile-phone operators to provide their subscribers call-data records upon request free of charge. Balance-inquiry service through text messages will be free of charge.
