Globe to start charging Php50 for late bill payments

In a recent billing statement sent to subscribers, Globe Telecom has notified customers that it will start collecting additional fees for late payments.

This means that if you don’t pay your Globe bills on time, they will charge you an extra Php50.

Here’s the scanned copy of the announcement lifted from the recent billing statement.

I’m already enrolled in a auto-debit arrangement with my credit card company so this isn’t a problem anymore.

However, we believe that majority of subs will stick to the manual payment process. This is just a detail you need to watch out for.

Why? Do you enjoy paying late? What do you think happens if you pay your school fees late? How about your electricity and water bills?

I wonder what will happen if it’s the bank’s error… What if even after paying online, some system glitch causes it to post late?

Non sequitur. Obviously, fee is waived.

Stupid! Do you work for Globe? Likely na automatic na papasok na lang yang 50 sa next billing statement mo.

I think they have a right to demand 50 pesos for late payments.

Subscriber USED their services.
Telecom gave them ENOUGH time to pay their dues.
Payments can be made almost anywhere (7/11, ministop, bayad centers, banks, etc).

Reklamo na naman agad. Isn’t it your duty to settle your bills on time? Kapag hindi nagbayad at naputulan ng linya, kayo pa ang galit.

They actually bill you a month or three in advance. When you pay a particular month’s bill, technically you’re paying for future usage.

obviously you type faster than you think. maniningil sila ng late payments. bakit, ang subscriber ba sinisingil ang GLOBE kapag late ang text, choppy ang call, next to nil ang speed ng data?

Siguro empleyado ka ng GLOBE kaya ganyan ka makapagtanggol sa bulok na telecoms na yan.

“They actually bill you a month or three in advance” – No their not. Your monthly bills shows you when and what numbers you called within that billing period. How can they bill you for future use? On signup they ask for deposits and advance payments, maybe that’s what you’re referring to?

Yan na naman, ako na naman yung empleyado. I just pay my bills on time. Kung ON TIME ka rin magbayad, hindi ka naman apektado kahit 1000 pa singilin sayo for late payments.

Agree na sablay minsan yung globe. Actually kahit anong telco naman sa pinas sablay din e.

I agree with all of you. pero the thing is kung bayad time dapat talaga mag bayad. since you’re consuming it they have the right of asking charges for late payments.

isa pa, with my experience with globe as postpaid both wireline and wireless pag me problema me REBATE akong natatanggap.. is that not the same effort of sisingilin mo rin si globe? hehehe experience lng to ha.

no offense :)

Iâ€™m not already using my postpaid sim dahil wala lageng signal sa loob ng bahay namen bukod pa sa mga late o hindi dumadating na textâ€¦

Hindi ko n binabayaran yung bill kasi ayaw naman nila i disconnect kasi 2yrs pa daw ang bond ko! E kasalanan ko ba na sinabe nila na â€œAbot ko ang mundoâ€ sa Globe e kahit Pilipinas hindi ko abot! Gusto nila magbayad ako ng 5k + Remaining balance ko para madisconnect ang hayup na postpaid sim na yun..

Ngayon magdadagdag pa sila ng 50 pesos! walang hiya talagaâ€¦ Tapos sinubukan ko gamitin kanina, biruin nyo yun disconnected pala pero may bill pa din ako na dumadating! Grabeng panlalamang na yan gloBULOK!

in my case… wimax sub ako… one month advance ung bill… parang di naman tama na may late payment charge… kc di pa naman siya late… di mo pa nga nagagamit… pinapabyaran na… pero i agree na they have the right to charge for late payment provided… dapat di advance ung billing…

Gentlemen:

The Monthly Recurring Fee (MRF) is always a month in advance. The calls that are reflected are the calls made during the statement period indicated which may or may not exceed the advance payment made.

That is the reason why when you first signed up and paid for your first bill, an adjustment is made to reflect the period when you first signed up until the 1st day of the indicated billing period PLUS the Monthly Recurring Fee (MRF).

What about for those times na wala silang signal? Will they credit it? Lakas nila sumingil pero pag sila yung palpak TY nalang?

I have a feeling this is a good reason to switch back to prepaid services. Nice going, Globe.

Hmm. Ayos yan! Sa totoo lang mas okay pa service ng Globe kumpara sa Smart.

Simple. Magbayad ka on-time.

Yung mga dropped calls at lr sa texts, di na talaga masosolusyunan yan.
