PLDT Installation Nightmare: Applied Online, Still No Activation — Yet Billing Continues

 


⚠️ PLDT Installation Nightmare: Applied Online, Still No Activation — Yet Billing Continues

I’m sharing this experience not just out of frustration, but to raise awareness—and hopefully get answers.


We Applied the Right Way

We applied through the official PLDT website—no agents, no shortcuts.

Everything was supposed to be legitimate:

  • Application submitted online

  • Installation scheduled

  • Modem installed around December 18

We followed the proper process, expecting proper service.


🔌 Installed… But Never Activated

After installation, we waited for activation.

Days passed. Then weeks.

But:

  • No internet connection

  • No activation

  • ❌ No clear update

We kept following up, hoping for resolution.


😡 Poor Response from “Activator”

At some point, we were contacted by someone handling activation.

Instead of helping, the person:

  • Became irritated when we followed up

  • Gave vague responses

  • Did not provide any real solution

Imagine waiting for weeks with no service—and being treated like a burden for asking updates.


📞 Billing Without Service

The most alarming part:

👉 PLDT keeps calling us asking for payment

Let’s be clear:

  • The line was never activated

  • We had zero internet usage

  • Yet the account is being billed monthly

Now it’s been almost 3 months, and the charges are growing.


❗ What This Feels Like

Even though we applied officially, it feels like:

  • We were left in the dark

  • No accountability from installation to activation

  • No proper coordination inside the system

This is not how a major telecom service should operate.


📢 Questions for PLDT

To PLDT management:

  • Why are customers billed for inactive services?

  • Why is there no clear activation timeline or accountability?

  • Why are customers treated poorly when they follow up?


🛑 What We Need Now

We are requesting:

✔️ Immediate activation OR
✔️ Full cancellation of the account
✔️ Removal of all charges since December
✔️ Proper investigation of the personnel involved


⚠️ Advice to Others

Even if you apply through official channels:

  • ✔️ Track your application reference number

  • ✔️ Follow up early and consistently

  • ✔️ Document all conversations

  • ✔️ Escalate quickly if delays go beyond 1–2 weeks


✊ Final Thoughts

We did everything right:

  • Applied officially

  • Waited patiently

  • Followed up respectfully

But after 3 months, we still have:

  • No internet

  • Ongoing billing

  • And no resolution

This needs attention.


PLDT, please fix this. Customers deserve better.
