Globe launches inbound calling service for Koreans

GLOBE Telecom recently launched Globe DUO Korea, an international inbound calling offer for Koreans in the Philippines.

Globe DUO Korea is a service that allows a Globe or TM subscriber to purchase a Korea-based telephone number. Their friends and family back home can call their Koreabased telephone number and calls will be received in their Globe or TM phones. Calls can now be made between two Korea- based numbers, just like making a local call in Korea, resulting in significant savings.

Subscription to the service comes in two variants: The seven-day subscription for only P399 or US$10 is best for shortterm visitors, tourists or businessmen, while the 30-day subscription for only P999 or US$25 will satisfy the communication needs of students, migrants and Koreans with established businesses in the Philippines.

“Now, seamless and low-cost connectivity with Korea simply needs a Globe or TM SIM and a Globe DUO Korea subscription,” said Rizza Maniego-Eala, Group Head for Globe International Business. “The best part is that subscribers no longer need to schedule receiving calls when they are home and have access to their Internet-based landline services since calls are received through the mobile phone anytime, anywhere,” she said.

The service is in partnership with INY Communications.

“We are excited to partner with Globe, the most preferred telecom service provider of the Korean community in the Philippines, in offering Globe DUO Korea,” said John Kwon, CEO of INY. (PR)
