There's a new plan at Globe called Plan DUO. Plan DUO allows you Unlimited Calling to and from any landline number as well as Unlimited Calling to and from any DUO postpaid mobile subscriber within Metro Manila and Cebu.
As of now, Plan DUO is only available to Globe Postpaid subscribers. Duo Subscription is priced at Php399 per 30 days and is charged on top of your monthly phone bill. Once a postpaid subscriber subscribes to DUO, he/she will be issued a second number in the format of (local area code+XXXXXX).
Postpaid subscribers will NOT be issued a second SIM once subscribed to DUO, instead, a second "landline" number will be assigned to your current SIM. In effect, your postpaid SIM will have 2 numbers. One is your regular 0917-xxxxxx mobile number and the other is an "alias" or forwarder for your landline calls.
If you remember, a dual line/one SIM card subscription was offered by Smart before wherein you must switch lines in order to use the other. DUO does not require switching.
How DUO works:
Subscription to DUO Service is •399/30days on top of a Globe Plan.
Once you are subscribed to Duo, you will be given your Duo Landline number. Now, your mobile phone and SIM will have two (2) numbers: your current mobile number (i.e. 0917-XXX-XXXX) and your Duo Landline number (i.e. 02-XXX-XXXX).
Upon activation, the following calls are rendered free of charge: DUO to any Landline calls, any Landline to DUO calls, and DUO to DUO calls. Calls made to other mobile numbers are charged regular mobile rates.
Everytime you call, no need for a keyword or special prefix:
To call any landline just dial the area code and the landline number
To call another DUO number just dial the area code and the DUO number of the person you are calling
For any landline to call you a person will just dial the area code and your DUO landline number
Service is initially available in NCR and Cebu only. All other calls outside the area code (02 for NCR or 32 for Cebu) will be charged regular mobile NDD rates.
