Overseas Pinoys can now easily get in touch with their families with the launch of the Kababayan SIM, the first-ever Pinoy GSM SIM in Guam & Saipan.

A product of the partnership between Globe and IT&E, the Kababayan SIM allows Guam- & Saipan-based Pinoys to call their loved ones in the Philippines who are on Globe or TM for only US$17.5 cents per minute. And with the ITXT text service, Globe subscribers can now text their families and friends in Guam on their IT&E wireless phones for as low as P0.50 per international text.

To celebrate the launch of the Kababayan SIM, two free shows top billed by renowned singer-host Billy Crawford were held at the two biggest malls in Guam, the Agana Shopping Center and the Micronesia Mall. The mall shows were also used as venues for our fellow kababayans in Guam to pledge their support for victims of typhoon Ondoy. This was made possible with the assistance of the Philippine Consulate General office in Guam.

Globe Marketing Head for Overseas Filipino Communities Alan Supnet said the launch of the Kababayan SIM is a milestone as it is the only Pinoy GSM SIM available in Guam and Saipan.

“We are proud of the Kababayan SIM as the newest addition to the products and services of Globe worldwide. This SIM does not just give the best rates for local calls in Guam & Saipan but it also gives them special rates when calling a Globe or TM number in the Philippines. Globe together with our partner, IT&E, is continuously working to provide more products and services for our kababayans.”
