As expected, 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.
may available na po ba nyan dito sa palawan?

im a globe prepaid user and i want to avail of the globe superduo service. just one question, is it unlimited texting too? or just unlimited calls?
Maayo man mo kay naa moy duo, kami diri sa mindanao kay walay available. walay lami manang duo ninyo.
globe duo sucks. ever since i subscribed i can’t contact a single landline, and my friends tell me that they can’t contact me thru landline either. the only numbers i can call are other globe duos. don’t waste your money.
Have you heard of the Super duo promo?

nakakalito talaga… anoooooo ….. ba……???
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? until now, oct 13 7am, i still can’t call pldt lines. globe doesn’t deliver, at least on my end. so frustrating.
alang kuwenta!!! nag-try ako mag-register for 1 day just to try it, nka-register naman & globe had given me a landline # (02-5046367)… pero hindi ako naka-connect kahit once sa kahit anong landline!!! its a waste of money & time really…and when i called 211 (globe toll-free prepaid hotline) the customer service told me that there are some globe prepaid nos. that are still not set by the system for globe duo including mine (091766*****)!!! huh??? at wala sila masabi kundi “sorry for the inconvenienceâ€â€¦ bullshit….
very expncv..
sabi nyo abot mo ang mundo…
metro manila lang ang cebu and duo…
unfair nmn yun…
forever n nka globe me..
but hindi ako ng try n mag duo.. my land line nmn kmi.. and sa mommy ko naka pldt all call sa nueve ecija.. much maganda ksi yun my land line kmi and ulimted call to land line.. 250 lng per month.. hindi mbigat bayaran..
dun p lng much better na yung pldt all call..
hope n makaisip kyo ng much better and hindi lng sana sa metro manila and cebu…
best parin ang smart and PLDT tandem ko. I’m using pldt call all for only 250 per month, unlimited call and i can now run my business kahit wala ako sa manila. I can also subscribe to smart unlicall para pang mobile calls naman. Sa mga clients ko naman na naka other network, i can just text them and give them my landline para makapag usap kami.
Globe broadband, Globe Lines is a NO NO sa akin. dahil sa ginawa nila sa phone line and internet connection namin. So what’s the diff sa mobile services nila?
I called up Globe’s 24hour Call-in Service and they told me that they are experiencing technical issues on connection to PLDT lines. This was adviced to them last Aug18. The person i talked to said they aren’t sure when the problem will be solved but their technical team is already on it. Its very disappointing as most of my friends are on PLDT lines. Hopefully, they can fix the problem asap. I’d still go for the 30-day DUO (im on prepaid!) coz its cheaper than the 1/5/14 days.
same thing happened to me. I have a prepaid service, before I can make outgoing calls to any landline. After subscribing to DUO, I cant make any calls to any landline anymore, except globe landlines. incoming calls from any landline works naman… kaso wala na ako matawagan na landline.
