Globe upgrades Duo to Super Duo

Just got a infomercial SMS today from Globe that announce an expanded service to their Duo wireless landline — Globe SuperDuo.


super duo

Subscribers of Globe Duo can now upgrade to SuperDuo for Php499/30 days. SuperDuo allows you to make unlimited landline calls as well as unlimited calls to all Globe and Touch Mobile phones nationwide.

To upgrade, you need to deactivate Duo plan by texting “DUO OFF” to 8888. To activate Super Duo, text “SUPERDUO < area > ON” to 8888. The area tag will be your code designation for the landline number (e.g. Metro Manila, Cebu, etc).

If you have remaining credits on your Duo account, it will be credited to your Globe Super Duo.

What is not clear is that you might also lose your original landline number because you’ve deactivated Duo. Will verify this with Globe.

    There are a lot of misconceptions in the comments here.

    First, I am already subscribed to SuperDuo and it’s just the 16th. Where did you get that info about October 19th??

    Secondly, you will be credited the amount of unused DUO subscription.

    Thirdly, you will retain your old number as long as you subscribe to SuperDuo within 30 days of leaving the Duo service.

    Lastly, Duo’s cost is just 399/30 days and not 450. SuperDuo for postpaid is 499/30 days.

    I hope that clears things up.

    i just called Globe Customer Service and here’s what I found out:

    1. If you are currently in the middle of your DUO subscription and you turn it off, you lose the money you paid for the full subscription period. No crediting of unused days will be made.

    2. Superduo will be available starting October 19, NOT TODAY.

    Sorry for my excitement. P499/30 days for postpaid. P35/day or P599/30days for prepaid. Hope this clears things up.

    will the unlimited globe to globe only apply to certain location like MM? do you need to dial a special prefix to use the unlimited thing?

  10. Avatar for Alan Alan says:

    FYI, it’s P599/30days not P499.

  11. Avatar for Berkano Berkano says:

    Globe Duo for 30 days costs Php 450, if i subscribe to Superduo in the middle of my subscription, how will the crediting work? I also share the same reservation as Arnold, since I have already have dozens of contacts. Plus the term “unlimited” have been abused at least one phone company in this country. I will not be surprised if their “unlimited” has … limits :)

    However if it rises from all the hype, it might be worth a try.

    And another thing… if I’m loosing my number, I might think twice.

    As a Duo user who really made use of it, this is a good thing. EXCEPT…

    I unsubscribed my DUO with DUO OFF. Confirmed. Been trying all day practically to subscribe with SUPERDUO MM ON (for NCR) sent to 8888. Reply :

    Service is temporarily unavailable. You might still be subscribed to one of the following services: DUO, UNLICALL, etc…

    Now what? Come on Globe! The fish is on the hook but you won’t pull it in! What’s up with that?

    Actually a nice move from Globe. Unlimited calls are fine barring clogged lines.

    @james; @jill

    kewl

    A completely unnecessary and moronic variation on the word “cool”. It’s harder to type than “cool” and makes you look like a retard if you say it.

    “dats wel kewl!”
    “Hush up retard.”
