globe lock second hand unit is safe?

  • safe po ba bumili ng mga second hand na nka lock sa globe or smart???



    pahelp po!! :D
  • as long as good standing yung credit history nung nagbenta (assuming na siya ang postpaid subscriber) OK lang, pero kung yan yung mga kakakuha lang ng postpaid line then dispose ng fone sabihin upgrade, etc. magdalawang isip ka. baka magdelinquent yan at ang last resort ng telco lalo na kung high end ang fone is to have the IMEI blocked, yes may paraan para mapagana uli pero you'll end up spending more para lang mapagana yung unit na hinde mo dapat naexperience in the first place.

    ang ginagawa ko kapag ganyan, i'll ask for a copy of the retention contract / official receipt of the unit / valid ID and deed of sale plus an affidavit from the seller for warranty claims. also its a plus kung malapit kayo sa wireless center magtransact para maipaverify mo kung gano na katagal siyang subscriber.

    personally i won't deal with a telco issued unit unless the original owner ang nagbebenta at atleast 5yrs na siya sa telco na yun with good credit history
  • angelopatrick, may instance na ba na nangyari na nablock ang isang phone? yung kaibgn ko kasi taga globe, shi nila although may capability ang globe gawin yan, they don't ksi sa batas satin? totoo ba?
  • ganun po ba.. Salamat sa information. Now i know na po! pero pano po malalaman ung credit history?? salamat ulit angelpatrick
  • technically kasi yung mga issued fones sa plan is subsidized yan ng telco meaning until magexpire ang contract mo sa kanila w/c is 2 yrs e globe pa rin ang may ari nyan at may control sila sa unit kapag nagdelinquent si subscriber.
  • just ask for a copy of the bill, kapag mataas ang bill cycle nya matagal ng subscriber yan
  • warranty card lang daw po ang meron... walang resibo and credit history.. hmmm Pano po kaya yun?? hahaha sayang gsto ko p naman kaso nkakatakot din.
  • samsung s3 po kasi yun..
  • safe yan dont worry sa blocking...
  • panong safe stolitolits??
  • YES SAFE NA SAFE hindi gagawin ng GLOBE yan and i.bloblock lang nila yung sim pero yung fon hindi.. kapatid ko sa globe nag wowork khit 5s o note 3 pa yan :D
  • I agree di naman nila na block lahat ng IMEI, I guess ma trabaho for Globe. Pero I had a bad experience last year. Got a S4 na 2nd hand, Globe unit with receipt and about 6 months old. After 2 months kailangan pa warranty yung unit. Sabi ni Samsung dalin daw sa Globe. Pag dating ko Globe nag delinquent yung loko na nag benta sakin. In short wala ako nakuha warranty whatsoever :(
  • safe yan mag 2 years na nga sakin yun phone. Pero hangat maari openline kunin mo na may local warranty hindi yun galing sa online store. Mahal paopenline. Di naman ata rare bibilhin mo.
  • Up ko to. Binenta ko phone ko sa pinsan ko. Di ako binayaran. Pwede ko kaya ipa lock sa globe? Galing sa globe yung unit. Pwede ko din kaya ipa lock kung napa open line nya na?
  • Mapadaan lang po at sana makatulong sa inyo. Summary na lang ng mga usapan ang post ko.

    1. Though Telco has control on disconnecting phones, kapag delinquent subsciber ang nagbenta sa inyo, TelCo's wont deactivate the unit. Tested ko po ito. I have 3 line subscriptions with Globe. Yung isa dun pinagamit ko sa boss ko dati sa former office ko. Hindi na niya binayaran after 6 months of subscription, until this date gumagana pa yung unit. I got that 5 years ago. Although I was forced to pay the unpaid subscription 2 years ago to renew my other lines. Now I still have 3. You might say may 2 kasi kaya di dineactivate ang unit, it also works for single subscription lang. Yung sa isang relative ko kasi one account lang siya, 3 years ago nakuha yung iPhone 4S nya nagdelinquent sya, up to now working yung phone amidst the many demand letters from Globe.

    2. For those of you buying phones from plan subscriptions, kung yung bibilan nyo sincere seller and hindi lang pera nyo ang habol, ask them to provide you with WARRANTY CERTIFICATES issued by their TelCo's. Napaka simple lang po humingi nun sa TelCo's. You need not to fall in line dahil sa guards or express lanes naiisue na yun. With my previous deals here on TCP Ive done that. Kung ako ang buyer ng unit I ask the seller to provide me that. Kung ako naman ang seller, pagkapost ko ng item naka ready na ang Warrant Cert.

    Sorry kung mahabaa. Sana makatulong po sa inyong lahat. :-)
  • i had a bad experience w/ globe. nagka problema yung line ko for almost 2yrs and hindi nila ma-explain yung problema ko nang line ko they allow me to pay 499 at the time since they can't fix my line. nachachargan kc ako nang dataplan, 499 and plus 1799 then nirereverse nlng nila. Now my line has been fixed, they asking me to pay 12k dahil may nakita daw clang unpaid bill which i don't know how they got that 12k and wla nmn akong n miss n payment w/ them. so i accepted nlng but w/ condition since sbi ko, in the 1st place hindi ko kasalan yan and i been telling them to fix my line kc nga ayoko magka problema. Ngayon eto n yung malaking problema, ayaw ni credit collector approvahan ang request ko and they will only allow it to pay my unpaid bill for 2months. Sbi ko i won't accept it kc this is Globe fault for not fixing my line w/in 24hrs and wala akong natatangap n any update w/ them. I still got my ticket number and sa mga number na yun, me-isang update wala akong natangap. and bad thing nito, ang credit collector nila is a 3rd party lng which is weird kc cla ang nag decide kung ano ang mayayari. They already block me for creating a request and they asking me to pay my unpaid bill for 12k. So i decided to not to pay n lng since unfair ang ginwa ni globe and i been a globe user for 8yrs at ngayon lng nangyari sakin ito.

    Now i'm planning to sell my iphone5 and my officemate want to buy my phone since i'm getting a new phone from Smart. You think, hindi malolock yung iphone5 ko ni globe kapag binenta ko ito sa ka officemate ko? natatakot kc ako baka ma lock eh... 18months old n yung phone and expired n yung warranty but the phone is really in good shape kc maingat ako sa gamit... kinda sad lng kc ako yung taong gusto mag bayad but the Globe won't accept my proposal :(
