Globe Duo Prepaid

Posted: Monday, June 8, 2009 8:34 AM

Globe Telecom is finally offering their Duo service to prepaid subscribers. The catch though is that you need to get a new Duo Special SIM Pack which costs Php45 (old prepaid SIM not supported).

Starting June 5, 2009, the Duo Prepaid service may be availed from Globe Business Centers and partner retailers in Metro Manila. In Cebu, it’s been available since May 25.

The Duo rates for prepaid is higher compared to the postpaid service: Php125 for 5 days and Php350 for 14 days. To activate your DUo SIM pack, just text “DUO MM 125″ or “DUO MM 350″ and send to 8888.

Upon activation, the respective amounts (Php125 or Php350) will be deducted from the prepaid load and the subscriber gets a DUO landline number.

For prepaid users, the subscription must remain active in order for you to retain your Duo number. After 30 days of non-subscription, your Duo service will expire and the number will be de-activated/re-claimed. You will be assigned a new Duo number if you re-activate later on.

How does Globe DUO Prepaid work?

1. Subscription to DUO Service is P125/5 days or P350/14 days, charged to your load.

2. Once you are subscribed to DUO, you will be given your DUO landline number. Your mobile phone will now have two (2) numbers:

Your current mobile number (ex. 0917-XXX-XXXX)
Your DUO landline number (ex. 02-XXX-XXXX)

3. Upon activation, you can now make the following calls free of charge:

Your DUO phone to any landline
Any landline to your DUO phone
Your DUO phone to another DUO phone

Calls made to other mobile numbers or landlines outside the covered area/s are charged regular mobile rates.

4. To call any landline: dial area code + landline number.

To call another DUO number: dial area code + DUO number of person you are calling.

No need for keywords or special prefixes!

NOTE: This service is initially available in NCR and Cebu until July 31, 2009 only. All calls outside the area code for NCR (02) and Cebu (032) will be charged regular mobile or NDD rates.

Want a DUO? Here’s how get one:

1. Purchase a special DUO Prepaid SIM, available at a Globe Business Center or select retail partners in NCR or Cebu.

2. Load the SIM with a minimum amount equivalent to your desired DUO denomination:

Text DUO <area> 125 to subscribe for 5 days at P125.
Text DUO <area> 350 to subscribe for 14 days at P350.
Area is MM for Metro Manila, and CEB for Cebu.

3. You can avail of only one (1) active DUO landline number for every active Globe line at any one time.

4. Your Prepaid DUO is valid for the number of days you subscribe to. Upon expiry, you have 30 days to reload in order to retain your DUO landline number. If you activate your DUO subscription after this 30-day period, you will be assigned a new DUO number.

5. In cases of fraud, Globe reserves the right to discontinue the DUO service and/or any of the subscriptions. DUO is not available for International Service Resale. Subscribing to GROAM while on DUO will trigger forfeiture of remaining number of days subscribed to.
