MANILA, Philippines - Globe, the pioneer network operator in providing services for Filipinos abroad and CTM, a local telecom provider in Macau, recently launched a co-branded SIM card that will help Pinoys living in Macau keep in touch with their loved ones back home.
Around 3,000 Pinoys were in attendance at the Plaza Amizade in Macau for Globe and CTM’s Best Kababayan Prepaid SIM launch last June 14, held via a free Hatid Saya concert, which was the first time Macau-based Pinoys celebrated the Philippine Independence Day together with the Philippine Consulate and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
The Best Kababayan Prepaid SIM offers the cheapest IDD rate from Macau to Globe and TM in the Philippines at only MOP1.69/min. It also offers international text messaging to Globe and TM subscribers in the Philippines for only MOP0.65 per text.
“Globe is fully committed to providing communication products and services for Filipinos everywhere. Together with our partner in Macau- CTM, we have launched a new product specifically developed for the needs of our fellow Kababayans in Macau. The Globe-CTM Best Kababayan Prepaid SIM allows CTM subscribers to call and send text messages to their loved ones in the Philippines at affordable rates especially if their loved ones are on Globe and TM. With the growing Filipino population overseas who are in pursuit of a better life for their families here in the Philippines, Globe continues to find ways to make sure they remain connected with each other despite the distance,” according to Globe’s head for Overseas Filipino Communities, Alan Supnet.
