m.Globe portal offers free Facebook, Twitter & Email

Globe has just launched their new mobile portal, called m.Globe, that offers free access to Globe services and feeds to your Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The service is pretty basic and can be access by any internet-capable phone (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G) and is free via myGlobe Connect (APN: www.globe.com.ph)

To gain access, just text m.Globe to 2910. You can also download the Android App/Widget if you’re using any Android smartphone (just point your phone’s browser to http://m.globe.com.ph).

There’s option for personalization when you register your mobile number, add access to your Twitter feeds or Facebook Wall as well as email accounts (Yahoo! GMail, Windows Live). Here’s how the WAP site looks like on your mobile browser with 3G on.

Here’s what the Twitter updates look like. I have Php0 balance in my Globe Prepaid SIM when I posted this (3G data is On via myGlobe Connect).

Works on postpaid and prepaid SIM. Interesting to note that this new service is apparently Globe’s response to Smart’s Netphone campaign; the Globe website says so — “With m.globe, no need to spend for a new internet phone.

    Would it just keep on asking the mobile phone no? should it be already preset after it was already entered. I’ve successfully made a tweet w/ it so far. But then every time I would click the bookmark it would always prompt on

    Maricar — tama ba yung pagkakaset mo sa APN? wala dapat http://

    try mo browse ka internet muna, visit m.globe.com.ph

    tapos you will see on the main portal page, there’s a link there where you can download the m.globe application.

    worked for me ;-) thanks, Globe

    • Avatar for MDS MDS says:

      Bobby — nagtry kami sa BB handset na may naka-install na Opera browser. it worked fine naman.

      try mo din change yung BB APN settings to –> blackberry.globe.com.ph

  17. Avatar for Migs Migs says:

    Sobrang bagal. bulok! Nabawasan pa ako ng load. Kakainis!

    • Avatar for MDS MDS says:

      Migs — nagconnect ka ba via 3G? baka mahina yung cell signal at the time na nagtry ka kaya sobra bagal.

      dependent ang speed ng browsing sa 3G sa signal strength ng network.

      tapos yung sa nabawas na load mo, check mo APN settings mo. also check mo if nakasubscribe ka na previously sa PER KB based na charging.

      if per kb charging, mababawasan ka talaga ng load
