Globe’s customer service is now online with the new Chat Assist, WHY CAN'T CIGNAL HAVE IT TOO?

Globe’s customer service is now online with the new Chat Assist

from Manila Times Thursday, 10 December 2009 Globe Telecom, a leading telecommunications company in the Philippines, launches Chat Assist, an online customer service assistance that can be accessed using the Globe website (www.globe.com.ph/support). Globe customers can get real-time customer service assistance including inquiries, requests and concerns about Globe’s products and services through the new Chat Assist.

 

---------------------------------

My comment:  SMART, PLDT, SUN, BANYAN, DREAM, GLOBAL, DESTINY, etc are you listening?  Many online businesses have adopted this years ago and I am pleased that finally Globe is showing the way to better customer service rather than holding a phone to your ear for ages and pressing through numerous buttons to get someone to listen to your concern!  GREAT IDEA!!!!!

-----------------------------

“Globe Chat Assist expands our ability to provide excellent customer service to our subscribers because we are now able to serve them through more ways than one. So no matter where they are our subscribers can now connect to Globe from anywhere in the world” said Trina Henson, Head of the Customer Engagement Group of Globe.

A Globe Chat Assist Specialist is always ready to serve customers who are online so feedback on inquiries is immediate and concerns are resolved at the soonest possible time.

The launch of the new Chat Assist is in line with Globe’s thrust to put its customer first always and to provide them with superior customer experience. Also, it demonstrates Globe’s commitment to its mission to transform and enrich lives through communications.

The new online customer service is made possible by Fluxion Inc., a provider of interactive technology solutions.

I’m having problem with Cignal. I applied for a new connection last Oct 30, 2009 and until now after paying my advance payment of 3600+ i haven’t received any feedback from them. Everytime i made a followup they always tell me they are running out of stock.

RP not behind in digital TV technology says Mediascape official

From a Sunstar Cebu article 
WHEN it comes to advancement in digital television technology, the Philippines is not far behind, said an official of Mediascape Inc. in a press conference last week. 

“The Philippines is recognized as one of the most progressive in digital television technology, considering the number of HD (high definition) channels we have,” said Mediascape chief finance officer Anna Isabel Bengzon in a press conference in Cebu City last week. 

Close to Japan

Compared to Japan with nine HD channels, the Philippines comes close, with eight HD channels, which are now available nationwide through Cignal Digital Satellite TV. 

Cignal Digital Satellite TV was launched by MediaScape Inc. last July. MediaScape is a subsidiary of MediaQuest Holdings Inc., an investee company of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. group.

She said a 22-inch LCD television set that is already HD compatible costs only P16,900. 

Cignal and Samsung are currently in talks to come up with promotional packages that will feature the products of the two companies. Continue reading here   http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/rp-not-behind-digital-tv-technology
