Red Mobile; To Red To Get Rid!!

Good Day Friends c", Still have a post Christmas effect? I do, weight gain c", and I'm trying to loose it all by going back to my exercise routine.

Something new, I bought my very first Red Mobile sim a week ago at a mall in the heart of Cebu City, Philippines, never mind asking what and which mall it was, and my initial thought about it, very very very and very unimpressed and disappointed. You see, I arrive in this mall as early as 9a.m. to secure a boat ticket back to Mindanao and it just so happened that the Red Mobile Team set up a booth near the ticketing office so i took the liberty to inquire and bought a sim because of their enticing gimmick of being able to win a price when you buy one and to my disbelief, the sim card have no signal when i tried it on, even the sales representative got shock by the incident.
It was their first day on that area and i was their first customer, other people next to me who bought sim also have no signal on their phone as well, I could see the panic button ringing on the staffs face as they were caught by surprise and have hard time explaining to the buyers why that area where they set their booth up, mall at the heart of Cebu, have no signal of their service what so ever which only mean one thing, the most worst and the most primitive mobile service to ever exist because of poor or weak signal. How stupid are they to set up a booth with no signal coverage and then offer it to consumers.

Red Mobile is the 3G arm of Smart communications which offers cheap telecommunication rates from voice to video calls of 50cents per minute, text and mms of 50cents per send and mobile internet of 7.50 every 15 minutes. But the catch is that, it will only work in 3G capable phones and areas with 3G signal, beyond this its as useless as nothing. The problem is the 3G signal, its very poor in most places at least in Cebu, the Queen City of the South, and 3G is not wide spread all over the country, it only exist in urban areas and this signals were abrupt and weak at all times, how can consumers enjoy mobile communication with this limited access, how can they be upfront with important calls or messages when they cant be riched? How funny and obscure this sim offers? My advice, don't even care to try this sim, its useless, stick to your old service provider, Globe and Smart.
