#PLDT Middle East calls

PLDT Home is offering free international calls from the Philippines to several countries in the Middle East from March 1 to 7 to help Filipino families stay connected with loved ones abroad. The telecom company said PLDT Home subscribers can make free International Direct Dial (IDD) calls from their landlines during the promo period. The offer aims to support families as the situation in the Middle East continues to change. How the free calls work: To place a free international call, subscribers must dial “00” + country code + area or mobile code + phone number using their PLDT Home landline. As a likely response to the international disputes, Maya has introduced a new feature for users' families receiving remittances from the Middle East. GCash has announced a temporary waiver of transaction fees for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in several Middle East countries. In response to increased tensions in the Middle East, Globe Telecom is launching a free roaming relief package for Filipinos living in a few Middle Eastern nations.
