Are you still using an outdated 3G SIM that gives you slow internet? If yes, it's time to upgrade to a Globe 4G LTE/5G-ready SIM for free and start enjoying a better data experience.

Globe is continuously improving its network and upgrading to 4G LTE/5G for an improved data experience. Since 3G is nearing its obsolescence, you don't have to be left behind. Switch to a 4G LTE/5G-ready SIM and open exciting activities available on the internet such as getting entertained by your favorite movie or TV show on demand, shopping and paying bills online, learning new skills, and connecting with your loved ones anytime, anywhere in the world!

Changing your SIM is easy. First thing to do is check your existing SIM by texting SIM CHECK to 8080. Once verified that you are still using a 2G or 3G SIM, you can do the following:

1. Secure an online appointment before dropping by at the Globe Store to replace your SIM since some Stores require prior booking. To get a slot, you may either go to http://glbe.co/abs-queue or use your GlobeOne app. From there, you can choose the Store location, date, and time that you want to visit. This booking system will make your transaction even more convenient and will save you both time and effort. It will also ensure that you are attended to properly. 

2. If you can't find your nearest branch in the list to book an appointment, it means you can simply walk in and a Store personnel will assist you on a first come, first served basis.

3. Check out the Stores with Express booths which give priority to those who need to upgrade their SIM. 

Make sure to check the Stores List for information about the Stores including those that require prior booking and those with Express booths.

If you are a Postpaid 3G user, skip the Store visit altogether and simply request for SIM change via the GlobeOne app. The new SIM will be delivered to your registered address by a courier.

Be wary of unscrupulous persons who may trick you into changing your SIM. Never give your SIM to anyone or transact with anyone except the Globe Store. Avoid being a victim of SIM swap scams. Go to www.glbe.co/SIMSwap-FAQs to learn how to protect yourself from scams.

GCash, foodpanda satisfy Pinoy’s cravings with good food and cashless transactions

Tweet

As online food platforms gain more relevance in the new normal, foodpanda, the country’s widest on-demand food and essentials delivery service in the Philippines, partnered with GCash, the country’s leader and preferred mobile wallet, to empower customers to conveniently pay for their orders using their GCash wallets.

With cashless payments becoming the new norm, foodpanda and GCash partnered to provide customers another convenient means to satisfy their cravings without the hassle of using cash to settle their orders. Since its launch in 2014, the on-demand delivery service has grown to more than sixty cities across the archipelago and still continues to expand.

"At foodpanda, we strive to make our services convenient for all our customers - that’s why we are very excited to announce this partnership with GCash so as to help more users have an option when it comes to a seamless and cashless transaction,” said Daniel Marogy, foodpanda Philippines’ Managing Director.

Now, foodpanda customers who are also GCash users can simply place their order on the foodpanda app, choose GCash as their mode of payment, confirm the transaction, and wait for their delivery to arrive.

“Food is a big part of the Filipino culture. In the new normal, what we can do for them is find new ways of integrating technology into this culture to ensure their safety and health amid COVID-19,” added Marogy.

Aside from convenience, foodpanda reinforces their contactless delivery protocol in the partnership with GCash as this is an easy way to minimize direct contact between customers and riders.

Foodpanda and GCash banded together to help customers adjust to the cashless movement under the new normal. Despite the lifting of lockdown restrictions in various areas in the country, health protocols on physical distancing and limited human interaction continue to be in place and are here to stay.

“GCash has made financial transactions easier for its users--it allows you to pay your bills, purchase goods and services and even send or receive money, and now, it can help you buy food and essentials through foodpanda. For our customers, we want nothing but the best. And by partnering with GCash, we’re giving them just that,” Marogy shared.

GCash currently has over 20 million users across the country. They may use their e-wallets to transact with over 86,000 merchants, pay bills to more than 400 billers, and transfer money to over 40 banks in the Philippines. Aside these it also offers a wide range of financial services such as affordable insurance and even worry-free credit.

“While we are proud of being a leader when it comes to innovating and providing solutions through fintech, our promise of ‘finance for all’ also means that we should partner with and reach out to companies with the similar vision of making Filipinos’ lives easier. foodpanda is an example of such a company,” GCash President Martha Sazon said.

Globe Fintech Innovations Inc. (Mynt), which operates GCash, is part of the portfolio companies of 917Ventures, the largest corporate incubator in the Philippines wholly-owned by Globe Telecom Inc.

GCash and foodpanda are available for download on the App Store and Google Play. For more information, kindly visit https://www.gcash.com/.

How it works:

Through the foodpanda website or via the new iOS and Android apps, customers can enter their address and view a curated list of restaurants and shops serving their neighborhood. Once they have found their choice, they can place an order in the comfort of their home or office, paying online through foodpanda’s secure platform or via cash-on-delivery The order is then carefully prepared by the restaurant or shop, picked up by the foodpanda rider and delivered straight to their doorstep.

Refreshed brand campaign launch and exclusive promotions as part of Olay Super Brand Day

P&G-owned skincare brand Olay partners with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, to reach and engage with digital-savvy millennials in Southeast Asia with the launch of the Adult Fearlessly campaign. The refreshed brand campaign will be held exclusively on Shopee,  across six markets, and will run from October 18 to 20 in the Philippines.

The campaign seeks to empower millennial women in their transition to adulthood by helping them overcome the perceived challenges of ‘adulting’ and invest in making good choices about their skincare needs.

Across the region, digital-savvy millennial consumers (34%) are now more likely to shop online every week (a survey of more than 1,000 consumers in Southeast Asia reveals), as e-commerce becomes a key channel for consumers to meet their daily and lifestyle needs. As such, Olay has witnessed a shift from offline to online sales and wants to connect with more audiences online with this digital-led campaign.

Building on Olay and Shopee Super Brand Days’ past success, this new campaign will feature a co-created video, “Fearless with your choices,” and exclusive promotions on Olay products to create an engaging online shopping experience.

Olay will feature its signature superior skincare range on its official store on Shopee Mall with up to 45% off on Olay products with a free magnetic wand from October 18-20! It includes Olay POWER DUO, a combination of the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and Olay White Radiance Light Perfecting Essence that will help achieve firmer, plumper, and more radiant skin from first use. The Power Duo includes powerful and effective ingredients that can visibly transform skin in up to 28 days.

“As a leading skincare brand in the Philippines, we are always focused on how we can best connect with our consumers to provide the superior skincare products they need,” said Lucy Moran, Olay and Personal Care Senior eCommerce Director, Asia Middle East and Africa.

“Digital technology has transformed the shopping experience, and increasingly, young consumers enjoy browsing and purchasing their skincare essentials online. The partnership with Shopee enables Olay to connect with and serve our consumers effectively, offering convenience and the right skincare solution for their busy lifestyle,” adds Moran.

Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “We're delighted to partner with Olay once again and have the opportunity to collaborate on the campaign video. Health & Beauty is one of the most popular categories in Shopee. We are confident that the Adult Fearlessly campaign will especially resonate with millennial and female Shopee users who enjoy consuming video content, and are purchasing more skincare products online.”

The campaign brings to life being “Fearless with your choices,” which depicts a woman's journey into adulthood, facing the tension between personal desires, societal expectations, and concerns about physical appearances. With the personal and financial independence that comes with maturity – the adulting journey can be made more enjoyable by investing in skincare products of superior quality and good value.  Against this backdrop, Olay seeks to inspire and empower women to make choices fearlessly by highlighting the pluses of being 30.
