Globe, MegaLink partner for prepaid loads

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom has launched a partnership with MegaLink to enable Globe and TM subscribers to purchase load for their prepaid phones at participating MegaLink ATMs nationwide.

ATM cardholders of participating MegaLink partner-banks can now use this facility to reload their Globe and TM prepaid phones. Globe subscribers can buy P50, P100, P150, P300, P500 and P1,000 load credits at MegaLink ATMs while TM subscribers can reload in P50, P100, P150, P200, P400 and P1,000 denominations.

Since its launch last March 22, Globe and TM subscribers have been empowered to reload via the ATMs of MegaLink’s partner bank, Pacific Ace Savings Bank. MegaLink is also planning to roll-out this loading facility to their other member-banks soon.

“This partnership is one of the ways by which we fulfill our promise of providing easy and relevant services to our customers. By giving our customers another channel to buy load, we hope to give them added convenience so they will choose to stay Globe-connected,” Globe president and CEO Ernest Cu said.

For his part, MegaLink president and CEO Benjamin Castillo said: “We are glad to partner with Globe and help the company expand its reloading outlets with MegaLink’s extensive network of over 2,600 ATMs and more than 11 million cardholders throughout the country. At the same time, this is a new value-added service that we believe MegaLink ATM cardholders will find very useful and attractive as we offer affordable load denominations as low as P50.”

Through this partnership, officials said Globe and MegaLink further strengthens their commitment to providing quality and reliable services to its valued subscribers and clients.

Meanwhile, the Globe Tattoo brand has launched a new product that allows access to unlimited email using a mobile phone. The promo is available until March 31, 2010.

Globe Tattoo allows access to current web-based inboxes like Yahoo! Mail, GMail, Windows Live, or Microsoft Outlook email.

Globe chief marketing officer Menchi Orlina said more than just a phone service, or an Internet or email provider, they are an enabler, a brand that helps young people express who they are and enjoy every facet of their digital lifestyle.

“With Globe Tattoo our job is not just to put together offers that people will want to try. It’s also about blasting through the old limitations of calling, texting or emailing, and re-defining the experience so that Tattoo users get not just the best possible deal and a rich experience that really delights them and keeps them plugged into everything they love,” she added.
