Globe, a leading telecommunications provider in the Philippines, has come out with the multi-function Kalinga sa Bayan SIM card, a symbol of pride among volunteers signifying their affinity to the whole Gawad Kalinga movement.
GK is initially targeting 50,000 SIM cards to be distributed among the volunteers.
The special SIM allows GK to communicate directly with volunteers through a text blast that informs members of various activities and schedules.
from the customized SIM content, Kalinga sa Bayan SIM holders can also enjoy a significantly reduced call rate of P0.05 per second or P3 per minute to any Globe and TM subscriber.
This is 50 percent lower than the original P0.10 per second (P6 per minute) special call rate previously given to them. Regular call rate is P6.50 per minute.
Globe also brought down its SMS rates to P0.50 per text message to any Globe and TM subscriber which is 33 percent cheaper than the old rate of P0.75 per SMS. Regular SMS rate is P1 per text message.
The special promo rates provide Globe partners and their members with the ease and relevance of enjoying the lowest call and text rates with no registration requirement.
