Carl Lamiel

More hope for a better internet? A new bill filed in the Senate by Senator Bam Aquino seeks to bring teeth against erring telcos by imposing penalty amounts of up to five million Pesos for each single day they violate the National Telecommunications Commission’s rules and regulations.

Senate Bill no. 3208 seeks to “empower the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) by increasing the penalties and fines for violations against the authority of the NTC and its released certificates, orders, decisions, resolutions, or regulations,” according to the summary posted on the source. With heavier penalties, the NTC will have more teeth to impose its rules and can expect greater compliance from Internet providers to standards and regulations that have been set to advance Internet quality in the Philippines.

With this bill, Sen. Aquino aims erring telecom firms to be fined between P300,000 to P5 million for every single day, per violation of any certificate,  authority, resolution and/or regulation of the NTC. “With heavier penalties, NTC can expect greater compliance from Internet providers to standards and regulations that have been set to advance Internet quality in the Philippines,” Sen. Bam said.

App in Focus: PreFIX PH

Daniel Morial

With the rise of Dual SIM phones, a lot of mobile users have at least two SIM cards, one for Smart (or Talk ‘N Text) and/or Globe (or TM) and/or Sun Cellular. And since the popularity of text messaging plus the competitive prepaid services, it’s easy to buy SIM cards and change whenever you want to.

If you’re one of those who has a lot of contacts from multiple telcos, you might find this app useful.

PREFIXPH-01

The PreFIX PH app is basically a dialer and phonebook app altogether. It scans and identifies your contact numbers’ network based on the prefix number. It also sorts them accordingly. Aside from that, there’s a built-in dialer for an unlisted number you’re about to contact. It’s a smart dialler that instantly detects the carrier of the number. You can even try to input every possible prefix combination to memorize the pattern if you have time.

PREFIXPH-3

That’s the main feature of the app, which is available for free. There are two additional extra features which you can avail for if you will purchase for Php46. The promo directory which allows you to save promo codes and easily send them for easy registration, and the group messaging, which, obviously, allows you to send multiple messages at once under one network — perfect for sending quotes, chain messages, and the like.

PREFIXPH-2

Gone are the days where it’s easy to identify the carrier of the number you’re contacting with the simple 0915 of Globe or the popular 0919 of Smart. Heck, my new postpaid number starts with 0977, which is from Globe. But with the PreFIX PH, it’s less confusing. It’s available for free, so trying it won’t hurt.
