Smart Bro Dashboard - Insufficient Balance

Yesterday afternoon, I was introduced to the Insufficient Balance notification via Smart Bro Dashboard on my Google Chrome Browser.

I was consuming the data minutes accumulated every time I loaded my Smart Bro. I left my laptop to do some other things. When I came back and opened new tabs, I was directed to the webpage that displays Smart Bro Dashboard.

The Smart Bro Dashboard webpage.

As shown in the image, the dashboard is still in Beta Testing phase. It displays your mobile number and a message:

OOPS

You were redirected here because you have an insufficient balance. Please load to continue your internet browsing. This is a FREE site.

Even though your internet connection icon shows that you are still connected, and the Smart Bro interface showing download and upload speeds, you will not be able to browse any website.

Well you just have to re-load your Smart Bro Load again to enjoy surfing the net.

How about you? What are your comments/experiences regarding the Smart Bro Dashboard.

Globe IMMORTAL TXT Balance & Inquiry

Here's how I came to know about the IMMORTAL TXT balance and inquiry.

For some days now, I have been receiving the same reply from Globe, every time I inquire about my prepaid load balance. I theorized that recent typhoon Basyang had somehow damaged Globe' system. Nice! Free prepaid credits or so I thought.

Well, that is until GF Tintin taught me about the IMMORTAL TXT balance. She correctly pointed out that it was so because I am still enrolled at Globe's IMMORTAL service. And taught me to inquire first about my IMMORTAL balance.

Following her advice, I send IMMORTAL BAL to 8888.

Right after that, it became clear to me. There is no technical glitch on Globe's network. It was just me forgetting I availed of the service. The free text I accumulated by loading other Globe prepaid products had been increased by the IMMORTAL service.

And since, I am just texting most of the time, that explains why my overall prepaid balance remained unchanged.

Whoa! Thanks to tintin, my new expert on IMMORTAL. And it is me who maintains this blog? LOL!
