This week, I received the following text messages from Globe’s 2977 advisory:

After stopping their unlimited texting service called UNLITXT, TXTPower filed a letter-complaint to NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) via email last December 18 to bring back UNLITXT. Surpisingly yesterday, Globe brought back UNLITXT. But this time, they offered only UNLITXT20. No more UNLITXT40 and UNLITXT80. That is according to 2977 text advisory:

Globe Advisory: Ang Globe Unlitxt All Day 20 ay available na! Enjoy 1 day unlimited texting for only P20. Just text UNLITXT20 to 2870 to register. Til 1/20/08. No free advisory? Reply STOP

A friend told me just this morning that Globe’s UNLITXT services has ended. So I went to TxtPower’s website and found out that it is true. According to the website:

For the second time this year, Globe Telecom stopped its unlimited texting service without any public announcement.

At a time when we expect a deluge of Christmas greetings through text, subscribers are now forced to avail of a so-called Sulitxt15 service that gives 100 text messages for P15.

For those who don’t know what promos we are talking about, read below:

UNLITXT20 Php 20 - unlimited texting for 1 day
UNLITXT40 Php 40 - unlimited texting for 2 days
UNLITXT80 Php 80 - unlimited texting for 4 days
SULITXT15 Php 15 - allows sending of 100 Globe-to-Globe text messages.

TxtPower is planning to send a letter-complaint to NTC this week to find out why it allowed Globe to stop the service without informing its subscribers.
