Apply for and retain your Globe zero-month rental mobile phone card in the Philippines.

Background#

Recently applied for a Globe card in the Philippines and found that many of the related guides are outdated
Even the answers in these guides are no longer valid. After some exploration, I found the correct method.

Target Audience#

This card is suitable for users who only need a low-cost international card (10 yuan for card purchase plus 5-10 yuan recharge per year to maintain the number) to receive SMS and register various accounts.
If you have calling and data needs, then the tariff of this card is not suitable.
Tested and confirmed that it can be used to register on OpenAI, Google, Twitter, and Telegram.

SIM Card Purchase#

Search "菲律宾 Globe" directly on Taobao. I won't recommend any specific sellers here. I bought it for 10 yuan per card.

Tariffs#

  • Outgoing calls: 120P/minute Incoming calls: 100P/minute
  • Sending SMS: 20P/message Receiving SMS: Free

Activation, Real Name Verification, and Number Maintenance#

  1. After receiving the card, insert it into your phone. When there is a signal, dial 222. The call may not go through, but after hanging up, you will receive a "Globe" SMS indicating successful activation.
  2. Go to the real name verification link for real name verification. It is said that even blank documents can pass. I randomly uploaded a few pictures and it was also approved (Note: Do not choose "Travel").
  3. The Globe card is valid for 2 months from the activation date, and you must recharge it once within these 2 months to maintain the number. There are various methods mentioned online for maintaining the number after the initial recharge, such as recharging 15 pesos (about 2 RMB) every two months or recharging every six months.

Inquiry and Recharge#

  1. The official website inquiry and dialing *134# mentioned in online guides are no longer valid. Now you can only use the Globe One app to check your balance and validity.
  2. Download Globe One and log in with your number, then select "Buy Load" to recharge your balance (for some reason, my credit card recharge has been failing).
  3. Use the WeChat mini program "Overseas Top-up" to recharge your balance.
