I have scanned a few of the articles on your web site now as well as Philippines, Technology News & Reviews, and I genuinely like your way of blogging. There is no smoke without a fire and on that point there are no comments without posts.

subscribed to this service yesterday. the whole process took less than 10 mins.

this is a welcome development for me considering that i use smart, globe and pldt landline plus (all prepaid). it certainly bothers me to carry 3 phones everyday. now i can only bring 2!

tried a few calls with it and the line sounds good. clear. no problem also with incoming calls from pldt landlines.

hope smart comes up with a similar promo

Globelines have made enormous expansion of their product selling and services in the country but cannot correct out bad or no connections at all. This is usually happened in Cebu. They should focus on good quality product and not quantity. I have been experiencing no dial tone , or hanged phone tone in my globe landline for two days now. I cannot call the repair service since the phone cannot be used. Globelines should have to look for an immediate actions to the problems they are having to their communication business as i am quiet sure that they know that this is happening.

the globe superduo service is fooling people. called before signing up and was never informed that the “superduo” service would be completely cancelled if you go on roaming, as in the money u paid for the superduo service is completely gone when u come back. its not even anywhere on their print ads or billboards! nothing either from customer service! lost over 2400 load because of it!!!! horrrible customer service from a horrible company. complaining this to ntc and letting everyone know. no reply from customer service either even after 3 cweeks when they said they would provide feedback in 3-5 days! cheaters!

well i just subscribed to globe duo using my prepaid globe phone last oct 11, 5pm. i can receive calls from pldt landlines, but not the other way around. i thought this issue was already fixed. bayantel lines work well though. i called globe and they said after the complaints during the past month, the duo to pldt issue was already resolved. called their cust service for 3 times, and the rep who last talked to me said to wait for 3-5 days before it gets serviced. according to her, to enjoy and make ‘sulit’ (her term) use of the globe duo subscription, i should call instead bayantel lines. and i was like, omg, you’re telling me to make the most out of it by calling bayantel lines while all i need to call are business lines which are mostly pldt? well it’s their cust service rep.

and my subscription is 1 month, since i joined without qualms. what if the subscription is less than 3-5 days? then everything went to nothing? THE WORSE THING, IS NOW,@10AM I CAN NO LONGER CALL ANY LANDLINE, EVEN A DUO NUMBER. NOTHING, AS IN NO OTHER LANDLINE NUMBER. AND I SUBSCRIBED FOR A WHOLE 1 MONTH. globe doesn’t deliver, such a waste. MY FAULT, I DIDN’T RESEARCH ON IT FIRST; MUST HAVE BEEN SO SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE RAVE TESTIMONIALS. I SHOULD’VE GOTTEN A BAYANTEL WIRELESS OR A PLDT LANDLINE PLUS instead of this. so frustrating.

ask lang ko kung ano ang mukha ng wireless phone?
malaki ba to or maliit lang na phone.

Ang catch pala dito if you are outside the coverage area of 02 ex. Tagaytay tapos tumawag ka sa may Globe duo rin or any NCR/ Metro Manila landline long distance rates ang bayad mo.

Oh and you can’t call a Cebu Globe cell duo even if they have Duo because long Distance charges din yun if your phone is registered Duo in NCR.

I registered with Globe Duo service. The problem is, when you use a PLDT Prepaid Wireless Landline to Call a Globe Duo Landline, you need to have enough load to make the call. I called PLDT and Globe regarding this matter. So, ….to all subscribers, beware! Your PLDT wireless landline’s load will be debited unless Globe Duo and PLDT Wireless Landline Prepaid settles their interconnection issues.
BTW I love your blog!

Globe Duo sucks! I subscribed my prepaid sim for 1 month, and unfortunately I cannot make calls to PLDT landlines. It’s just a waste of money. Another sample of false advertisement.

Tried it with my prepaid and it works perfectly both incoming and outgoing calls. This is definitely better than other wireless landline.

DONT patronize Globe DUO… that service really sucks!!! cant call pldt & bayantel lines.

GLOBE DUO SUCKS!!! the very first i registered for the service i cant connect to either pldt or bayantel lines. assistants told me they’re having connection problem with pldt (dont they realize sabotage on pldt’s part?)good thing they reverted back my 25pesos load. 3 days after i called up again their customer hotline inquiring about pldt & bayantel connections which they told me that they’ve already fixed the problem & its ok to again avail DUO. So, i again registered the 25 pesos they reverted back to me only to find out that same thing happened. i cant call pldt & bayantel lines. GLOBE is true to their tv ads on phone suicide – disgusting, you could slam your phone in dismay!

I bought globe sim last Aug.19 and registered to DUO. There were a few errors in keyword in their system but luckily I was able to register. My number starts at 02-500xxxx which is cool. I tried to ring it with my smart cel and it did. I was excited and texted everyone for my new number. When i finally got home I was trying to make outgoing call but i can’t. Until now, i haven’t use my outgoing call. but incoming is fine though.

The globe duo service is a crap for prepaid subscribers. I already subscribed for a month and i cannot connect to pldt landlines for 4 days already. I also have the 500 prefix and the service was good until 4 days ago.

I cannot make outgoing calls to PLDT landlines but calling up any Bayantel or Globelines is without a hiss. But receiving call from these landlines on my Duo number poses no problem at all.

I am hoping that they will fix this glitch soon or my Php 450 subscription will just go to waste.

So anyone who is planning to get one better think about it carefully as the service now sucks!

im a prepaid subscriber and tried the one day promo for Php25 yesterday morning. i was able to use the outgoing call (globe duo to local landline), but the incoming call feature from a LANDLINE was not working. the voice prompt said NOT IN SERVICE. i called 211 and reported the problem, and was asked to monitor within 24hrs.

after 5 hours, i was able to receive an incoming call from a landline. but when i tried using the outgoing feature (to another landline number), ITS NO LONGER WORKING. seems like we cannot use BOTH incoming and outgoing features at the same time!! i don’t think this should be advertised as UNLIMITED, as obviously this is NOT.

my subscription is about to expire, and they have yet to fixed the problem. really a waste of money!

I was so furious when I applied for Globe Speak ‘n Surf(landline plus broadband). I paid 999 and all I got was a wireless handset and a modem. T’was I think 2 years ago and until now I haven’t heard from them. They just took my money and left me with no service. For the first 6mos. I frequently made follow ups but the globe hotline has nothing to say but “I’m sorry for the inconvenience…” WTF! they sound like a broken record.

I then applied for SMARTBRO and until now the service is just fine. At least I’m using my 999 with their service, Then I also got PLDT pre paid landline sim which is working just fine also. But my calls are limited and metered to P2/min.

When I heard about this GLOBE DUO, I was hesitant. I’m not sure if their service has improved. But given the benefit of the doubt, I’d like to try. It’s kinda intriguing and if it really works just as i hoped it will, well its a GREAT DEAL. The catch here is the mobile landline with unlimited calls. I might try this one despite my disgust with my previous application. Its not that expensive though. I can spare to waste P450/30 days subscription and the price of the prepaid sim.

I’m a prepaid globe subscriber and i just tried keying the DUO to 8888 and this is the reply.

Great news from Globe! Bagong Globe DUO! Enjoy the first and only unlimited DUO-DUO and DUO-Landline calles for only P125/5 days or P350/14 days! To register just text DUO CEB 125 or DUO CEB 350 to 8888.

Teka.. ang mahal naman. Php 350.00 for 15 days? Nyak

Question: Is the additional P399.00 for the DUO service inclusive of taxes? I am about to register for a DUO number in the next few hours.

This is INNOVATION!

Registered by sending DUO MM ON to 8888, then replied YES. In less than 2 minutes I have a new landline. No queuing in the biz centers, no photocopy of id’s, proof of billing, etc.

Amazing, now I have opened my biz to landline only clients without the hassle. Great!

My mother, a non-texter now calls anytime without being charged for the call.

Enough of sim swap promos or spam through text that other network is better. Proof is in the eating.

It’s my second day to use Globe’s newest service. I registered thru text:

DUO CEB ON to 8888
My duo number is (032) 316-xxxx

So far I have no connection issues. I had my friends and relatives call my Duo number from their landlines, and can get thru real quick with clear voice quality. just when i was about to sign up for PLDT Wireless Landline plus (not minding that crappy bluky handset), great timing talaga ‘tong Globe.

I can still receive landline calls even when i’m surfing the net thru WAP or 3G. but unlike PLDT Wireless, I cannot make 1-800 calls using Duo. darn it.

Among other things which Globe should add to its service is the revival of the CALL BACK ALERT it had a few years ago. It is very useful in places where there is no signal (dead spot) or in places where cell phones are not permitted. In those times when you are waiting for an important business call or suddenly have an emergency call from a family member and there is a dead spot inside a building or in a location, this service is very useful. Smart has this service for its post paid subscribers wherein a text is sent to the subscriber if the subscriber misses a call. I have inquired about it but the only reply you can get from the customer service is “We will update you when this service is available”. This is their constant reply for years now. Maybe Globe just does not want us to turn our phones off if this service is revived. The more phones turned off, the lesser their revenue. I hope this is not the case.

Called today and you have to text DUO MM ON (for Metro Manila) or DUO CEBU ON (for Cebu).

You can also register for both in case you travel to Cebu and need to call a local Cebu landline number while you are there. Cool thing if you travel often to both cities.
