G-Live is not a spam.

I have tried G-Live for a few months now.

It's good and it's very informative. u will only be advised to charge if you download the full content.

Globe does not deduct prepaid credits unless a subscriber initiates such requests. (ex. reply to one of their 4 digit access number, subscribe to a weekly/daily tone/wallpaper, etc.) As for G-Live, there are 2 types. One is Symbian based where you install an application to a compatible Series 60 phone. The G-Live Symbian program runs on the background and would display announcements, ads, etc. when your phone is idle or is currently displaying your default screensaver. The other one is dependent on the SIM card you're using. Newer SIMs from Globe are G-Live capable where ads would be displayed similar to flash messages that became popular during the Nokia 3310 days. jepoy's last blog post..Private Email Addresses Revealed to ALL txtjock users

Good points dave. I did another try and I got G-live working on my SE K800i, it really needed a G-Live capable sim. Though I found no real use for it.

messages from 2346 are annoying. It's spam as long as one never opted to receive such alerts. Worse, they deduct credits from you for just receiving those darn messages.

Hi… I have prepaid Globe service using an Xtreme Memory sim and I am subscribed to G-Live. This is on a low-end, non-Symbian SE phone (T630) that I have been using for my prepaid account for a long time now…

I have no complaints about G-Live, though. I hate spam like hell. But I don't categorize G-Live as spam, or like those SMS alerts from 2346, etc.

In fact, I even subscribed to G-Live with my postpaid service.

I dunno… We all have our preferences…
