SMART & GLOBE new six-second pulse billing regime, how to do it

No wonder NTC is complaining, you need to add prefix number when dialing to call someone. The strange thing is per-pulse charging only applies when calling same network number or sister company’s number. The mobile networks is implementing it like a promo.

So for Globe and Touch Mobile users, following are the prefix numbers or format of digits to use the per-pulse charging:
232 — when calling a Globe number. Replace 0 with 232 plus the 10-digit globe number (e.g. 2329271234567)
803 — when calling a Touch Mobile number. Replace 0 with 232 plus the 10-digit globe number (e.g. 8039271234567)

Additional conditions lifted from their advisory site:
Per second rates when using the aforementioned dialing sequence as follows:
- P0.10/second for Globe-Globe/TM and TM-TM/Globe calls Monday to Saturday
- P0.05/second for Globe-Globe/TM and TM-TM/Globe calls Sunday
Minimum maintaining balance of P7.50 required for Globe, P6.50 required for TM.
Applicable to Globe Postpaid, Globe Prepaid, Globe Tattoo Prepaid, and TM.
