Globe provides free Roaming credits, prepaid load to Filipinos in Lebanon amid unrest

Globe is providing free postpaid roaming credits and prepaid load to Filipinos in Lebanon amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. 

Several countries have called on their nationals to fly out of Lebanon amid fears of worsening conflict following the assassination of Hamas leaders, with Iran blaming Israel and vowing revenge. 

To help Filipinos in Lebanon get in touch with their loved ones, Globe has started extending bill credits for Postpaid subscribers and sending free load for Globe Prepaid and TM customers which they can use to make calls and send texts to all networks. 

Globe and TM customers need to simply connect to roaming partners Alfa and MTC Touch to use call and text services. A confirmation message will be sent to Globe Prepaid and TM customers advising them that the free load has been seeded, while Postpaid customers will see the bill adjustment for services used in Lebanon in their succeeding bills.

“We know that in times of uncertainty, it’s important to be connected with loved ones. As Filipinos in Lebanon deal with worsening unrest in the area, Globe is providing them a free and open line home. Through this connectivity support, we hope to somehow give both our overseas Filipinos and their families back home some peace of mind,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Head of Globe International Business.  

To make use of the free roaming credits, Globe and TM customers in Lebanon may follow the following steps: 

• To make a call, dial “+” plus country code, area code and telephone number (ex. +63773101212) or dial “+” plus country code and mobile number (ex. +639171234567). 
• To send a text, type “+” plus country code and mobile number (ex. +639171234567).
