Those company should have a program to filter expats numbers. Furthermore it is better if Mobily, STC , Zain ( Saudi Mobile Carrier ) could have an option to block unnecessary marketing SMS messages. It is good that UAE will start filtering spam Message. I don’t know if SMART, Globe, PLDT has this kind of system being implemented in the Philippines.

The UAE TRA has confirmed that it has put in place a new policy to cut down on the amount of spam received in the UAE.

The first policy will focus on mobile SMS spam, with both UAE operators, Etisalat and du, required to gain consent from users before sending them marketing messages.

Good for UAE residents. So what do you think ? Are you also annoyed with this messages being sent without consent.

Just for information you may want to know on how to activate globe roaming while outside Philippines.

Here in Saudi Arabia we have lots of nurses leaving in the hospital accommodation and some of them does not have an Internet connection at their room accommodation, So they usually pay a lot by connecting their mobile phone thru their laptop just to get connection. Although most of the time they fail to connect. And there are lots of OFW leaving in a isolated place where Internet connection is not available.

The 3.75G equipped Eee PC will allow users to download data at up to 7.2Mbps. Asus are launching the 3.75G equipped Eee PC 901 in October this year, so expect most phone companies to start offering this laptop for free when purchasing a plan with a contract.

Taipei, Taiwan, September 24, 2008 – ASUS today announced that it will be adding 3.75G connectivity* to its hugely-popular series of Eee PC™ netbooks, enabling convenient and high-speed access to the Internet anytime, anywhere.

Finally it is here the Android Phone, G Phone, HTC Phone , or what ever they call it. As long as it is here. It was recently launch by T-Mobile yesterday. If you can remember I blog before regarding the so called leaked photos and specification of Android Phone.

This will be a test Mobile for Google Mobile Application. Well about the device, The device is made by Taiwan-based phone manufacturer HTC which will sell for $179 with a two-year contract, starting Oct. 22. T-Mobile will offer two different bundles of Internet and messaging services, on top of its usual voice calling plans: $25 for unlimited Internet and "some" messaging, or $35 for unlimited Internet and messaging. (T-Mobile should be posting these details soon at its press site, which for now only offers a replay of the phone’s unveiling in New York.).

I don’t know when it will be released in Philippines. If you remember iPhone was released by Globe Telecoms. Smart Telecoms should be fast in having deals with HTC so that they can have chance in releasing this phone in Philippines market. Many says that the Android Phone is an iPhone Killer so if Smart can get it , it will be  a great competition for Globe iPhone. Just my thoughts.

So here are some specification available in the net.

It has QWERTY Keyboard, 3 Megapixel Camera, Wi-Fi, Music and Video Player, and a Google packed products.

Some feature as shown in via gizmodo.com

Screen
The G1 sports a 3.17" 65K color touchscreen that runs in HVGA (480×320) resolution.

Dimensions
4.60” x 2.16” x 0.62”; Weight: 5.6 ounces. And available in white, black and brown.

Storage
1GB MicroSD card preinstalled. Supports 8GB MicroSD.

GPS
Available

Google Maps
As we’ve seen in a recent update, the G1′s Maps application will integrate Street View so you can see where you are going. But in an industry first, a built-in compass orients the map to your position. North is always up!

Android Market
Similar to the iPhone’s mobile App Store, the Android Market will allow downloading of various Android apps from the phone, to the phone.

Amazon MP3 Store
Amazon’s MP3 store will be preloaded on every G1, allowing the download of 6 million DRM-free tracks with singles starting at 89 cents. Downloading music requires a Wi-Fi connection, previewing can be done over T-Mobile’s network.

YouTube
Yup, it’s on there.

BreadCrumbz: enables people to create a step-by-step visual map using photos; customers can create their own routes, share them with friends or with the world

More information from Google Blog .

Would you buy this phone if it reach Philippines, Provided it is cheaper than iPhone.

So if you have some pictures or blogs during the launch and you want to be feature here. Send me a note in my contact page and I will be willing to post it here.

I am not in Philippines so I cannot provide you with fresh pictures from the launch.

Ok is seems that Google Phone Via HTC will be released this November. After FCC approval of the above casing that will host the Google Android.

HTC’s “DREA100″ handset has been approved for sale in the U.S. after passing the FCC’s wireless tests. T-Mobile is going to be the carrier for the Dream handset, which will apparently have a BlackBerry-like “jog ball” as the primary controller.

I know that this phone will also give hype to the market like what happen when iPhone 3G was launch. The specification and details is no yet known in the public. But just for fun .

I have been implementing the Asia Century Multi Advertising Affiliate program and I would like to have an in depth analysis on my earnings for this local ads that I have start implemented in this blog since July 10,2008.

I will have an assumption that if I use AdSense I will have an approximate CPC [ Cost per Click ] of $ 0.04 which in reality ranges from 0.02 to 0.06 or even better. But for the sake of calculation I will use $0.04

Facts about my account with with Asia Century Multi Advertising

Implementation Period = July 10 – August 5

Page Impression – 55,000

CTR 1.22 %

55,000 x 1.22% = 679 Clicks

By Calculation I would like to use my assumption above using the data I gathered from my Advertising period as follows

679 Clicks X $ 0.04 = $ 26.84 x Php 44 / US$ = PHP 1,180.00

Comparing to the above mentioned Assumption I have a total Php 92.5 amount in my Account with them with 137 approved , 10 Leads which is approximately 7.8% of the assumed calculated cost above.And if I used the approved one I will have as follows

137 Clicks X $ 0.04 = $ 5.48 x Php 44 / US$ = PHP 241.12

Where the Approved Amount is almost 38.34 % of the assumed AdSense Clicks. 

Suggestion :

1. It would be great if they could make a contact page where we as publisher could ask question about our earnings. ( Have you found their Contact Page ? )
2. They need to explain why the Clicks are not matching with the Approved Paid Clicks
3. It would be great if they can make their CPC cost higher. At the moment they only have about PHP 0.5 to PHP 0.6 ( $ 0.011 – $ 0.014 ) compared to Google AdSense which can give an average of $ 0.05 according to some experts
4. They have to make other option in Payment aside from Check, Perhaps they can make Globe G Cash or Smart Money or via PayPal.

Conclusion :

I can only conclude for this site and not for all blogs. For this site I believed I have to remove those ads and consider looking for some other opportunity with Direct Ads or Affiliate Marketing thru Market Leverage, Pepperjam or CJ where I might have a better earning opportunity. Asia Century Multi Advertising might be better for other site but not on this site. Their Ads might not be contextually relevant with my niche that is why I am having lots of Click not Approved.

Here is the answer form Globe >>> Iphone Globe Plans

- Free text allocation applies to local text messages (Globe to Globe and Globe to other networks).

Globe Telecom has it’s what they called Globe G-Cash that can be reloaded and use like a debit card in the mall  and Smart Telecommunication has Smart Money with also the same function as mentioned above and Smart Padala where our fellow Filipino could send money from abroad to Philippines

Well I think whoever comes first and implement it, the beneficiary will be us the Online Marketer or what they called it Netrepreneur and of course also the Filipino People who are just entering in world of Online Purchasing.

So to the Giant Telecom, I have given you an idea. So work act on it now, Make the interface in between PayPal and your product.
