| M Mobile scam or not? |
A fresh new MLM company in the cellular communication technology niche is now on the scene. It is called M mobile/M-mobile or MMobile, I am unsure of its proper name. Details about the company is still limited but I did what I can to search and present it to you.
I think the company started around middle of September this year and is owned by Mr. Adonis Estacio. In addition, the names Irene L. Ilagan, Edward L. Ilagan, Wiifred N. Marbella and Marinelle M. Villanueva are also connected to Mr. Adonis Estacio in a SEC incorporation file dated September 10, 2012.
However, I can not guarantee if I am referring to the correct SEC records of MMobile technologies. I got a picture below of MMobile's SEC certificate coming from them shown below.
As you can see in the SEC certificate of MMobile technologies, it did not show any names and dated 11th of September 2012. If my source was correct then the only logical explanation is that, it was filed September 10, 2012 but the certificate was released the day after ( September 11, 2012) as shown in this document. It is also said in their advertisements that MMobile is a marketing arm of Mydestiny International Company. Hence, their official website is www.mydestinycompany.com
Product
This is M Mobile's main product. A call card that will enable you to have unlimited calls to any cellular network for a month paying only 388Php. This sounds very good! And looks like this will save you lots of money from cellphone load, until you fully discover how it works.
How to use the card?
This picture above pretty much shows the whole instruction. In addition to this, your calls only last for 5 minutes at a time. You need to text your assigned access numbers every time you make a call, that is why you need to have an unlimited text registration of your same network.
Now lets do the Math
Note: this computation may not be applicable to everybody's situation, But I will just try my best to relate to the majority.
I have this assumption that most people who avail unlimited call registrations because the reason that they have long distance close relationship with someone that needs constant communication. And most likely than not they are on the same network. Now, lets compute the which service is cheaper.
For this computation I will use Globe network because its what I am familiar with.
This is what it will cost me if I use M-Mobile:
1 month unlimited calls M mobile card: 388 php
globe unlitext 5 days= 80 php
80 x 6 = 480 php (30 days)
480 + 388 = 868 php/ 30 days
This is if I use same network unlimited call service (Globe):
1 month=30 days
globe unlicall 7 days= 150 php
globe unlicall 1 day=25 php
150 x 4= 600 php (28 days)
150 x 4= 600 php (28 days)
600 + 50 (2 days) = 650 php/30days
Therefore in this computation, if you are on the same network with your love ones, Its better to avail same network unlimited call registration. It saves you 218 php per month minus the hassle of texting every 5 minutes and waiting at no less than 20 seconds to connect.
But what if your long distance love ones are not of the same network with you? although this is unlikely it is not that rare. My practical solution for that is buy a sim card that is of the same network with your love ones and use that every time you call him/her. Now, is this option easier and cheaper than using M mobile cards?
lets see:
From the first situation, we know that using M Mobile cost us 868 php/ month plus texting every 5 min and waiting at least 20 seconds to connect a call.
Following my suggested option, we can refer to the computation above, using the same network unlimited call registrations will cost us 650 php/ month. But now we have to add the price of the new sim card, probably 150 php as maximum. Still, the cost is 68 php cheaper per month than using M Mobile. And also the hassle of changing your phones sim card which is probably 20 seconds at most and only done once. Furthermore, the additional expense of a new sim card is only one time cost.
Therefore I conclude, there is still much easy and cheaper way to have unlimited calls to the same or different networks than using MMobile cards.
In my opinion this is a nonsense product, it has no practical use. It looks like this useless product is just a front of a pyramiding scheme lurking behind. I think this company is not about a new and improved system of cell phone communication product but its more on the networking/recruiting money creation.
