Breaking: Globe Telecom has launched a new cellphone-and-landline-in-one service called the Plan Duo Subscription. This service allows Globe subscribers to carry two numbers in a single SIM card — 1 mobile and 1 landline. Check the details of the plan below:
- Globe Plan Duo subscribers are given a Duo Landline number. The mobile phone and SIM will have two (2) numbers: your current mobile number (i.e. 0917-XXX-XXXX) and your Duo Landline number (i.e. 02-XXX-XXXX).
- With the Duo Plan, you get the following service at free of charge: Duo to any Landline calls, any Landline to Duo calls, and Duo to Duo calls. Calls made to other mobile numbers are charged regular mobile rates.
- There’s no need for a special dialing number — just key in the Area Code + Landline Number and your ringing. Same with calling another subscriber on a Duo line.
- Service is initially available in NCR and Cebu. All other calls outside the area code (02 for NCR or 32 for Cebu) will be charged regular mobile NDD rates.
Subscription to DUO Service is Php399 per month on top of your regular Globe Plan. Single SIM, two numbers? Time to ditch the landline.
How to get Globe Duo Plan:
1. Promo is open to all Globe Postpaid subscribers from April 5 to July 3, 2009 (not available for prepaid or corporate accounts).
2. Subscriber can avail of the service through the Business Centers or Register via SMS (with required SMS acceptance of Terms and Conditions). Simply text DUO to 8888.
3. There will be an initial 90-day holding period for new activations, subject to pre-termination fee of Php1,200. After the holding period, subscription is auto-renewed on a monthly basis unless otherwise requested by the subscriber.
4. You can only avail of one (1) active DUO landline number for every active Globe line, at any one time.
Globelines have made enormous expansion of their product selling and services in the country but cannot correct out bad or no connections at all. This is usually happened in Cebu. They should focus on good quality product and not quantity. I have been experiencing no dial tone , or hanged phone tone in my globe landline for two days now. I cannot call the repair service since the phone cannot be used. Globelines should have to look for an immediate actions to the problems they are having to their communication business as i am quiet sure that they know that this is happening.
the globe superduo service is fooling people. called before signing up and was never informed that the “superduo” service would be completely cancelled if you go on roaming, as in the money u paid for the superduo service is completely gone when u come back. its not even anywhere on their print ads or billboards! nothing either from customer service! lost over 2400 load because of it!!!! horrrible customer service from a horrible company. complaining this to ntc and letting everyone know. no reply from customer service either even after 3 cweeks when they said they would provide feedback in 3-5 days! cheaters!
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? THE WORSE THING, IS NOW,@10AM I CAN NO LONGER CALL ANY LANDLINE, EVEN A DUO NUMBER. NOTHING, AS IN NO OTHER LANDLINE NUMBER. AND I SUBSCRIBED FOR A WHOLE 1 MONTH. globe doesn’t deliver, such a waste. MY FAULT, I DIDN’T RESEARCH ON IT FIRST; MUST HAVE BEEN SO SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE RAVE TESTIMONIALS. I SHOULD’VE GOTTEN A BAYANTEL WIRELESS OR A PLDT LANDLINE PLUS instead of this. so frustrating.
ask lang ko kung ano ang mukha ng wireless phone?
malaki ba to or maliit lang na phone.
Ang catch pala dito if you are outside the coverage area of 02 ex. Tagaytay tapos tumawag ka sa may Globe duo rin or any NCR/ Metro Manila landline long distance rates ang bayad mo.
Oh and you can’t call a Cebu Globe cell duo even if they have Duo because long Distance charges din yun if your phone is registered Duo in NCR.
I registered with Globe Duo service. The problem is, when you use a PLDT Prepaid Wireless Landline to Call a Globe Duo Landline, you need to have enough load to make the call. I called PLDT and Globe regarding this matter. So, ….to all subscribers, beware! Your PLDT wireless landline’s load will be debited unless Globe Duo and PLDT Wireless Landline Prepaid settles their interconnection issues.
BTW I love your blog!

This Globe Duo really rocks!i subscribed to Duo because majority of my Globe friends are Duo subscribers. they are the ones who encouraged me to join and i had no regrets!
WTF…bt gnun…nkpgregster na ako sa globe duo nd bngay na sken ung duo numb ko bt nbawasn prn load ko..T_T helkp me nmn qng bkt..nd 4 sure my explaintion qng bt ng yri un…
Globe Duo sucks! I subscribed my prepaid sim for 1 month, and unfortunately I cannot make calls to PLDT landlines. It’s just a waste of money. Another sample of false advertisement.
Tried it with my prepaid and it works perfectly both incoming and outgoing calls. This is definitely better than other wireless landline.
DONT patronize Globe DUO… that service really sucks!!! cant call pldt & bayantel lines.
GLOBE DUO SUCKS!!! the very first i registered for the service i cant connect to either pldt or bayantel lines. assistants told me they’re having connection problem with pldt (dont they realize sabotage on pldt’s part?)good thing they reverted back my 25pesos load. 3 days after i called up again their customer hotline inquiring about pldt & bayantel connections which they told me that they’ve already fixed the problem & its ok to again avail DUO. So, i again registered the 25 pesos they reverted back to me only to find out that same thing happened. i cant call pldt & bayantel lines. GLOBE is true to their tv ads on phone suicide – disgusting, you could slam your phone in dismay!
I bought globe sim last Aug.19 and registered to DUO. There were a few errors in keyword in their system but luckily I was able to register. My number starts at 02-500xxxx which is cool. I tried to ring it with my smart cel and it did. I was excited and texted everyone for my new number. When i finally got home I was trying to make outgoing call but i can’t. Until now, i haven’t use my outgoing call. but incoming is fine though.
GLOBE DUO is (BULLSHIT), NO OUTGOING CALL FROM AUG 14 UNTIL NOW,ALMOST A WEEK AND AND THEY HVNT DONE ANYTHING TO SOLV DA PROBLEM,SA UMPISA LNG PLA MGANDA SERVCE NILA, UNTIL NOW STIL NO OUTGOING AND IM (FUCK UP FOR 1 MONTH SUBSCRIPTION), LETS GO BACK TO PLD WIRELESS, KAHIT METERED ANG OUTGOING MAS MGANDA PLDT PAG DATING S OUTGOING,
The globe duo service is a crap for prepaid subscribers. I already subscribed for a month and i cannot connect to pldt landlines for 4 days already. I also have the 500 prefix and the service was good until 4 days ago.
I cannot make outgoing calls to PLDT landlines but calling up any Bayantel or Globelines is without a hiss. But receiving call from these landlines on my Duo number poses no problem at all.
I am hoping that they will fix this glitch soon or my Php 450 subscription will just go to waste.
So anyone who is planning to get one better think about it carefully as the service now sucks!
im a prepaid subscriber and tried the one day promo for Php25 yesterday morning. i was able to use the outgoing call (globe duo to local landline), but the incoming call feature from a LANDLINE was not working. the voice prompt said NOT IN SERVICE. i called 211 and reported the problem, and was asked to monitor within 24hrs.
after 5 hours, i was able to receive an incoming call from a landline. but when i tried using the outgoing feature (to another landline number), ITS NO LONGER WORKING. seems like we cannot use BOTH incoming and outgoing features at the same time!! i don’t think this should be advertised as UNLIMITED, as obviously this is NOT.
my subscription is about to expire, and they have yet to fixed the problem. really a waste of money!
I was so furious when I applied for Globe Speak ‘n Surf(landline plus broadband). I paid 999 and all I got was a wireless handset and a modem. T’was I think 2 years ago and until now I haven’t heard from them. They just took my money and left me with no service. For the first 6mos. I frequently made follow ups but the globe hotline has nothing to say but “I’m sorry for the inconvenience…” WTF! they sound like a broken record.
I then applied for SMARTBRO and until now the service is just fine. At least I’m using my 999 with their service, Then I also got PLDT pre paid landline sim which is working just fine also. But my calls are limited and metered to P2/min.
When I heard about this GLOBE DUO, I was hesitant. I’m not sure if their service has improved. But given the benefit of the doubt, I’d like to try. It’s kinda intriguing and if it really works just as i hoped it will, well its a GREAT DEAL. The catch here is the mobile landline with unlimited calls. I might try this one despite my disgust with my previous application. Its not that expensive though. I can spare to waste P450/30 days subscription and the price of the prepaid sim.
I’m a prepaid globe subscriber and i just tried keying the DUO to 8888 and this is the reply.
Great news from Globe! Bagong Globe DUO! Enjoy the first and only unlimited DUO-DUO and DUO-Landline calles for only P125/5 days or P350/14 days! To register just text DUO CEB 125 or DUO CEB 350 to 8888.
Teka.. ang mahal naman. Php 350.00 for 15 days? Nyak
GOOD NEWS SA GLOBE FANATICS MAY DUO PREPAID NA, JUST GO TO THE NEAREST GLOBE BUSSNESS CENTER IN CEBU AND BUY GLOBE DUO PREPAID FOR JUST P45. YOU OWN A LANDLINE NA.
Question: Is the additional P399.00 for the DUO service inclusive of taxes? I am about to register for a DUO number in the next few hours.
