Globe upgrades Duo to Super Duo

Just got a infomercial SMS today from Globe that announce an expanded service to their Duo wireless landline — Globe SuperDuo.

super duo

Subscribers of Globe Duo 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.

To upgrade, you need to deactivate Duo plan by texting “DUO OFF” to 8888. To activate Super Duo, text “SUPERDUO ON” to 8888. The area tag will be your code designation for the landline number (e.g. Metro Manila, Cebu, etc).

If you have remaining credits on your Duo account, it will be credited to your Globe Super Duo.

What is not clear is that you might also lose your original landline number because you’ve deactivated Duo. Will verify this with Globe.

kewl

A completely unnecessary and moronic variation on the word “cool”. It’s harder to type than “cool” and makes you look like a retard if you say it.

“dats wel kewl!”
“Hush up retard.”

Actually a nice move from Globe. Unlimited calls are fine barring clogged lines.

@james; @jill

As a Duo user who really made use of it, this is a good thing. EXCEPT…

I unsubscribed my DUO with DUO OFF. Confirmed. Been trying all day practically to subscribe with SUPERDUO MM ON (for NCR) sent to 8888. Reply :

Service is temporarily unavailable. You might still be subscribed to one of the following services: DUO, UNLICALL, etc…

Now what? Come on Globe! The fish is on the hook but you won’t pull it in! What’s up with that?

Globe Duo for 30 days costs Php 450, if i subscribe to Superduo in the middle of my subscription, how will the crediting work? I also share the same reservation as Arnold, since I have already have dozens of contacts. Plus the term “unlimited” have been abused at least one phone company in this country. I will not be surprised if their “unlimited” has … limits :)

However if it rises from all the hype, it might be worth a try.
