Globe extends free Facebook until April 24

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom is extending its free Facebook offer available to over 38 million subscribers until April 24, allowing access to the top social networking site with no data charges.

“We hope to get more Filipinos online on their mobile devices and be part of a wonderful, connected world,” said Jenny Granada-Echevarria, VP for Mobile Data Services.

The promo was recently showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain by Facebook founder/CEO Mark Zuckerberg in his keynote. Zuckerberg cited the partnership with Globe in connecting more Filipinos to the Internet, as he shared his vision of a connected world through his pioneering project Internet.org launched last year. The collaboration between Globe and Facebook paved the way for all Globe prepaid, postpaid and TM customers to enjoy free access to the social networking site.

Among these customer experience innovations include accessibility on feature phones and smartphones across all Facebook mobile platforms whether via the Facebook app or Facebook’s mobile site m.facebook.com.
