@paul - DUO depends on Globe's signal and so far, Globe has very good coverage of Metro Manila and Cebu :)

The soonest I’ve heard of this DUO SVC thing, it definitely raised most people's interest. For everyone’s information, I did my own research too and just found out from Globe’s Customer Service that the whole of RIZAL area is now included in the NCR (02) Local area code for toll free communications starting April 12, 2009 only.

If we could all remember way back years ago, Globe used to have this Duo service already even before Smart did. I used to have 2 Globe handyphone subscriptions both in 1 sim then, but eventually had to split them when Globe decided to discontinue the service maybe due to lack of patrons on this type of technology. But like most of us, I too am very much a sucker for variety of wireless services (mainly for my business) which I keep in my bag that grows bigger by the day due to the increasing number of gadgets inside it. There’s my SUN for the 24/7 UNlimited call and text anywhere in the country, Globe for reliability esp. during emergencies, at least 2 landline sims (SunTel and PLDT Plus prepaid) one for incoming and one for outgoing - toll free calls for my family and clients, and Globe Tattoo for my laptop internet connection, all for the convenience while I’m on the road. With this Globe DUO Service, I think my bag can breath freely now with just 2 mobile phones inside it, still maintaining my SUN and my Globe for both mobile and landline service in one.

Incidentally, this type of service would definitely benefit men especially, who usually just carry 1 mobile phone with them to go about their daily routines.

Cheers to newer breakthroughs!! The more competitions the lower the burdens of cost for us consumers. Bring them on.. Congrats Globe!!!

Among other things which Globe should add to its service is the revival of the CALL BACK ALERT it had a few years ago. It is very useful in places where there is no signal (dead spot) or in places where cell phones are not permitted. In those times when you are waiting for an important business call or suddenly have an emergency call from a family member and there is a dead spot inside a building or in a location, this service is very useful. Smart has this service for its post paid subscribers wherein a text is sent to the subscriber if the subscriber misses a call. I have inquired about it but the only reply you can get from the customer service is “We will update you when this service is available”. This is their constant reply for years now. Maybe Globe just does not want us to turn our phones off if this service is revived. The more phones turned off, the lesser their revenue. I hope this is not the case.

Kudos to globe for offering better promos. Better than bayantel and PLDT's offering since it's cheaper with UNLIMITED incoming and outgoing calls from local landline phones (unlike the PLDT Landline prepaid plus which, unfortunately I bought a few weeks ago, charges 1 to 2 pesos per minute for outgoing local landline calls). Unfortunately for prepaid subscribers, these new services are only for postpaid subscribers (thank God I didn't gave up my handyphone account, instead I dropped Smart Gold).

Check out this other new promo for postpaid Globe handyphone subscribers: New cheaper mobile browsing plans (as an add-on)

I'd subscribe to duo plus the cheapest plan for the new mobile browsing plans (since I just use mobile browsing when I'm bored outside anyway and whenever I update any applications on my phone plus urgent e-mail and info access). 149 pesos would be better I guess instead of getting surprised by a 500 peso extra expense for uncontrolled browsing (spurs of the moment? LOL) on my bill. Indeed, I'm thankful for these promos.
