My Super Duo Switch


Finally, after 24 long months my lock-in period with Globe Telecom has ended last January 29 and I was able to change my subscription from consumable 800 to the All-Unli plan. Since we do not have a landline at the office since October of last year and I get more charges on voice calls, I am thought switching to “My Super Duo” a good idea. With this plan, I can make calls to landlines within Metro Manila and to Globe/TM numbers without having to worry about my bill. Oh, and I also have my own landline number which is great because my friends can reach me through my mobile phone while they can make their call using their landline without extra charge – that’s because it’s a local number! Isn’t that great?!

Because I have been their loyal client for 24 months (as if I have much choice), I called Globe’s customer service hotline last Friday inquired about what are the Loyalty offers that they have for me. Well, back in 2003 I got a free phone as a reward so I was expecting something that great. But what they had to offer, without me making any cash out, was a monthly rebate on my monthly bill worth Php120.00 per month for 24 months or a Dowell Electric Grill with tempered glass + Php75.00 rebate on my monthly bill for 24 months. Uhm…I was not really sold with the electric grill and it’s a far cry from the kamado grills that I have been dreaming so I decided not grab any of those offers and hope that something good might come in the future.

And another thing, if I do accept any of those loyalty rewards, that would be mean another lock-in period of 24 months…Honestly, I am not sure if I still want to get tied with Globe for that long a time, not to mention that their offers are not that good enough to make me want to endure another 2 years. For the mean, I intend to enjoy my new subscription plan to the fullest and hope that I will not exceed the monthly fee of P599/month.
