When I signed up the mobile phone contract with my telco provider, I’ve always thought that the relationship will be a simple one where I pay for the telco service and the mobile network provides it. But problem arise when things go wrong such as not being able to make phone calls or send SMS or sometimes unable to use the Internet. That is when I realized how important it is to choose the right telco provider.
There were few instances where I got really mad coz of the network issues, to the extent that I thought of terminating my telco line. I’m gonna give two examples of what really happened:-
Scenario 1: I was answering an important call and suddenly the call dropped and the worst thing is I couldn’t call the person back.
Scenario 2: I was outside buying something and need to use the Internet to search for some info but I couldn’t connect to the internet no matter how many times I tried.
When problems such as calls dropped, failure to connect to internet, couldn’t send SMS and others arise, all I could do was to call the customer service of my telco provider to lodge complaints and vent out my frustrations. Most of the time, the usual reply I got from them was that the problems will be resolved but then it’ll happen again. There are times when I got really tired and angry when the network issues happen again that I thought of terminating of line but I was told that I gotta pay termination fee. I was like WTF? And then they said that the contract which I signed has that term. I was like WTF again! *bangs my head to the wall for not reading the contract properly before signing
I stumbled upon Altelnativ by chance while browsing through the Facebook timeline. To be honest, the name “Altelnativ” sounds like ‘Alternative’ and also sound like the mobile phone brand ‘Alcatel’. Out of curiosity, I clicked on their Facebook Page to check what is it all about.
