  • i have got a chance to worked in philippines long distance telephone (pldt) for quite sometime now as an apprentice.and i observed they got an effective computer database systems that has been generated nationwide, which mean they are onlined nationwide and you can transact business or ask inquiry wherever in the philippines.

example:

the disconnection system:

wherein the system will automatically disconnected your telephone line if you cannot pay your account on the due date. rigth away a day after the due date you will no longer have an access to your telephone line unless you pay it. and thats how faster their computer system works.

billing and paying system:

since they are online nationwide you can pay your bill anywhere in the philippines even your line is here in gensan. and you can also ask for your account anywhere in the philippines through the used of your telephone number..
but then there are also disadvantages of having this computer system: one instances, is that if they where offline no business will happen..because you cannot work to your computer because all data's needed are supplied in the database.another thing is that theres is no other supporting documents has been kept on the hard files.
