Upgraded my Globe Duo Landline to Super Duo

I complain about many of Globe services but one that gives me the highest satisfaction level is the Globe Duo Landline for my postpaid cellphone which I subscribed in April 2009. In fact Globe asked if I was willing to give a testimonial and I readily gave it 4 months ago.

During the Ondoy Flood damage, all our landlines were cut naturally (I have both PLDT and Globe lines) and calls needed to be done: the insurance companies of our 3 cars and our home, the service centers of the refrigerator, the oven, washing machine and other services needed for the cleaning of the house. What convenience that was.

Now when I heard the latest news from Globe Duo (via Yugatech), I eagerly read their upgrade:

Subscribers of Globe Duo (399/30 days) can now upgrade to SuperDuo for Php499/30 days. SuperDuo allows you to make unlimited landline calls as well as unlimited calls to all Globe and Touch Mobile phones nationwide. You cannot call a DUO landline number in another region though but you can call their cellphone number.

I tried just a few hours ago.

I sent a text to 8888 superduo help

and the reply was

I’ve gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night
that tonight’s gonna be a good night

  1. Hi noemi, nice to see you here, i googled about globe duo kasi. Ok pala yung service, kaso ang problema nga since landline eh hindi kasama kung out of town ako, pero ok na rin, at least pag nasa metro manila, sulit.
