UPDATE: For November 1-30, 2014, the Globe Duo International promo is priced at $10. Please see updated post here.
Do you regularly call long distance to someone outside the country? Here’s a cool service to help you save some money on long distance.
I just found out that Globe has a new service called Globe Duo International.
What is does is it assigns a foreign number to a Philippine Globe SIM, so you (who are abroad using foreign telco) can call the Philippine Globe SIM using local rates.
For example:
Let’s say you live in the US and use a US telco.
You regularly call someone in the Philippines with number 0917-1234567. I assume the long distance charges are killer.
To save money on long distance, you can register the 0917-1234567 number to Globe Duo International. Globe will assign a US number to 0917-1234567, like 123-555-5555.
Next time, you just need to call the US number 123-555-5555 and the call will be received by 0917-1234567 in the Philippines. Instead of being charged long distance rates, you will only be charged the US telco’s local rates. I don’t believe the Philippine Globe SIM will be charged anything for receiving the call.
The fee for the Globe Duo International service is US $25 for 30 days, but from October 1-31, 2014, they have a promo where it’s only $1 for 30 days!
There are several ways to register:
- Duo International website: duointernational.globe.com.ph (pay by credit card)
- Duo International prepaid card that can be bought from accredited Filipino stores abroad (selected countries only)
- via SMS using Philippine Globe SIM (I think the Globe SIM will be charged for this, deducted from load credits)
- via telemarketers (prospective buyers who receive calls from BPO agents can register over the phone, pay by credit card)

USA | Finland | Japan | South Africa |
Australia | Greece | Malaysia | South Korea |
