Globe announced that it was able to block a record high 2.72 billion scam and spam messages in 2022, more than double the 2021 total of 1.15 billion. Globe says that blocking spam and scam messages continues to be a crucial component of its cybersecurity strategy, adding that it has managed to spare customers from dangerous SMS before the enforcement of the SIM Registration Act. Globe has spent about $20 million to step up its spam and scam SMS detection and blocking system. Furthermore, I just came back from my 2-week vacation from the Philippines and used a postpaid Globe mobile to send quite a lot of texts to my Globe Kababayan friends here in Singapore and I am horrified to look at the next bill. I know that an SMS was sent sometime around 15 March informing Globe subscribers that the P1 text to SINGTEL promo has ended and I immediately made a call to your Customer Service to clarify whether this applies to texts made to Singtel Globe Kababayan as well and was informed that texts to Globe Kababayan are still at P1. I know that it is already hopeless to expect refunds for those charged with P15/text for sending texts to Singtel Prepaid Globe Kababayan subscribers here in Singapore but I would appreciate some clarification.
