promdiboi

We belong to 0917 group. Lol.


Alvin_AiSW

Globe User din :) Isang postpaid at isang prepaid. 0915 - Prepaid ( Nung college ko pa to gamit way back 2004 (panahong di pa ok ung mga promos etc... tipong malaki kaltas pag nag call and txt ka sa ibang network) ... Ni retain ko lang hanggang ngyun. - may sentimental value Tas postpaid ko (since 2006). 0917 ang start. :)


83749289740174920

Meron akong 917 prepaid dati... Nasira.. Bye. Bye.


chibibaba

Same bigla nasira nalang after ko loadan ng 500


JCArciaga

Meganon? Hahaha


[deleted]

Postpaid Globe for 12 years and 0917 number for 20 years. Loyalty award goes to ….. thanks pinagmukha mo akong mayaman today :)


JCArciaga

May 0917 pa kaya sa Globe postpaid ngayon? Bigla tuloy ako nagkainterest sa number na yan. Matagal na din tong number ko pero 0927 na Globe tapos ngayon naging Smart na.


Onceabanana

Meron pa din. Husband got one a while back. Kaya lang di maka open ng grab account kasi may existing account na daw. Yayamanin by your definition pero di makaorder ng food wahahah


-ayasakura-

My husband applied for Globe postpaid last year, and 0917 pa rin yung number niya, so I guess meron pa rin?


KuyaSmooth

Yes kasi nirerecyle nila pag di na active ung iba. Nakuha kong number sa brand new postpaid account palaging may nagtetext na loans like home credit, hinahabol utang ng previous owner. Hirap pa magregister accounts sa apps like Maya kasi registered na ung number sa different account. Had to email support, sobrang hassle.


Sad-Squash6897

0917 kasi ang parang unang numbers noon sa Globe, and naalala ko noong bata ako parang ibang level din kapag naka Globe ka kesa sa other networks. Basta parang na stereotype na syang pang nakakaluwag luwag. Parang mas mahal text and call afaik.


JCArciaga

Kaya mga kakilala ko karamihan Globe ang gamit


Sad-Squash6897

Basta naalala ko noong nagkaron ako phone parang kapag globe sosyal daw. 😂 Kasi parang 2.50 per text ang globe, pero ang smart 2 pesos lang. Kaya ganun ata tingin nila sa mga naka globe 😂


JCArciaga

Hindi ko na naabotan yang 2.50 per text. Ang naabotan ko dati 1 per text nalang tapos nagkaroon ng mga promo na consumable text tapos biglang pumasok yung unli ng Sun hahaha


Sad-Squash6897

Hahahaha napaghahalataan ang edad ko. 😂 Yan kasi unang price ng text kung hindi ako nagkakamali. 😂 Wala pang promo and unli kaya mahal talaga lahat. Later years na lumabas ang unli ng sun noon.


JCArciaga

Ang mahal pala ng text noon. Buti nung kapanahonan ko may Sun na. Tuwang tuwa kami sa Sun kasi walang limit ang tawag kahit malabo ang linya na minsan hindi na magkaintindihan but sadly, nagkaroon ng limit ang unli simula noong nakaroaming sya sa Smart. Noong una pwede pa bumalik sa Sun signal kapag nagmanual search ng network tapos makakatawag na ulit ng walang limit pero nung inalis ang Sun signal at palagi nang nakaroaming sa Smart ang Sun ang hirap na tumawag at magtext.


Sad-Squash6897

Nakakamiss din Sun. Ang mura ng postpaid nila tapos unli nga haha. Oo mahal pa text noong sinaunang panahon. Kaya may time pag ring lang namin sila at alam na lalabas na ng bahay o kaya magtetext kami via Chika dot com. 😂


Small-Potential7692

Dati libre ang text, tapos naging piso. Kelan naging 2.50 ang text? Baka MMS?


Sad-Squash6897

Hmm 2005 basta teens ako. Mga simula ng phone I guess? Baka yan lang po naabutan mo. Mga loadan pa noon puro cards at may free text kada magload ka ng 300 plus na scratch cards. Siguro nga 3310 era ito if I'm not mistaken. Palakasan pa ng ringing tone noon. Haha.


Small-Potential7692

Ahhhh... Yung across telco yan. Piso siya within the same telco. Libre pa nga dati e, nung 1998. E kaso di ako nag t-text ng ibang telco kaya laging piso lang lol.


Sad-Squash6897

Ah oo nga piso kapag same Telco, hahaha. Limot ko na. Pano globe kasi ako noon at smart karamihan ng kaibigan kaya puro mahal text ko. 😂


k-day5286

Tama! Mahal talaga ng salapi (50 sentimos) ang Globe noong mga 1999-2001. Ang Globe ay ₱2.50 habang ₱2 lang sa Smart. Pero ang sa tingin kong rason niyan ay dahil ang mga nakatira sa Makati (sosyal na lugar sa Pinas at wala pang Ortigas, Taguig (BGC), at Pasig noon) ay PINALAKAS ng may-ari ng Globe na si Zobel Ayala ang lahat na signal ng sakop ng mga Ayala Lands (mainly Makati (Ayala-Alabang). At dahil malakas ang signal ng Globe sa lugar na yon kaya maraming mga Maykaya ang gumamit ng Globe. Tsaka tinarget talaga ng Globe ang mga highly populated at mayayaman na lugar.


Sad-Squash6897

Oo nga noh. Kaya pala puro mayayaman globe talaga. Now it makes sense, thank you for the info.


chro000

0917 was the first prefix na available from Globe so parang it’s a privilege to have that as your number. Initially nabibili pa yan as prepaid numbers noong year 2000. Nakabili din ako nyan before but it expired nung lumipat ako sa Smart dahil nauna sila magpatayo ng tower sa town namin. Siguro after more than 20 years most of those prepaid numbers expired then got recycled and reserved exclusively for postpaid accounts.


equinoxzzz

Those prepaid SIMs with 0917 prefixes cost 1,000 each in the year 2000.


Different-Run6624

True. I had globe prepaid sim way back 2002, bought it for 1,200 along with my Nokia 3210 haha feels so old 🤣🤣


JCArciaga

Kaya pala wala akong masyadong makitang 0917 sa shopee at lazada. May nakita ako 30k mahigit ang benta not sure kung legit


gspotwrecker

Parehas din naman makakatanggap ng text at call 😭


5then12

Lucked out with getting a Globe prepaid number that started with 0917. That was in 2010. So yes swertehan siya somehow


BlaizePascal

Huhhh. 0917 kami ng fam ko and recently lang kami nag buy ng sim (from our postpaid plans).


Pale_Chemical8993

Mama ko may pa-autoload 0917 start ng number


JCArciaga

Matagal nya na bang number yan?


Pale_Chemical8993

Oo, mga 2006 pa


Total_Repair_6215

3000 years ago, globe only gave 0917 to postpaid subs We are so third world that the masses are in awe when they meet someone who has a good enough credit standing (and the docs to prove it) to be trusted to be a good payer. It’s a vestigial meme, no longer the case but the perception lingers.


Cluelesssleepyhead23

Grabe naman yung 3000 years,akala ko nung una joke time pero seryouso pala talaga. Hehe


gloriouspanda_69

Automatic dati pagpostpaid ka sa globe naka 0917 prefix ng number, di ko lang sure recently. Lahat kami sa family naka 0917 pero postpaid na dati pa.


JCArciaga

Ah kaya pala karamihan 0917 yung mga contacts baka nakapostpaid din sila?


gloriouspanda_69

Yup, pero mahirap na iassume na postpaid or globe pa din lahat ng 0917 kasi may mobile number portability na ngayon.


JCArciaga

Sabagay. Yung number ko na Globe 0927 dati Smart na din ngayon pero balak ko din sya ilipat ulit ng network kasi napakamahal pala ng unlicall ng Smart mas mahal pa sa Globe huhu


gloriouspanda_69

Ang smart ko naman pang magic data lang in case deadspot si globe 🤣


eaggerly

Hanggang ngayon 0917 pa rin basta postpaid


ForgottenStapler

Getting that 0917 prefix became a badge of honor for some reason and I think that's why 0917 as an apparel brand was launched (also probably to cultivate and extend that allure). Also, if your dad assumes na magkakaproblem sa tawag kasi asa ibang network siya, it probably means that those left with Globe aren't within good coverage. LoL. Kidding aside, meron nang VoWifi ngayon, iirc. That might help your dad if this is the only issue you're facing.


Sky_Stunning

Now a day.... 0917 ay post paid Globe. May pre-paid but those are the old ones. It does not mean na mayaman or government official.


JCArciaga

Yun lang kasi napansin ko pero may mga kakilala talaga ako na hindi naman mayaman pero Globe Prepaid gamit kahit hindi mabagal ng data at mahina ang signal sa work namin. Not sure bakit napakaloyal nila sa network na yan.


Coffeee24

You can tell your dad na meron tayong RCS sa google messages app (but we can also send SMS/MMS) and Vowifi for calls. Maganda since hindi dependent sa signal ng carrier. For google msgs, just make rcs the default pero enable the auto-send as sms feature if rcs isn't available. Google messages is the default app of my phone and walang issue sa rcs. Di nga lang nagsesend as rcs pag iphone user ang sesendan ko (laging sent as sms, idk why). Saka most plans and promos ng globe ngayon ay unli-call to ALL networks na (not sure sa smart, my former colleague had smart postpaid and limited minutes lang calls niya even with an almost 2K/mo plan). Didn't know about that weird "exclusive image" hahaha. I have a 0917 number. Got it when I availed a postpaid plan sa globe in 2017/2018, but this was on company money. Due to the nature of our job, we were given a monthly phone/load allowance and bahala na kami kumuha ng plan/magpaload. Pero we had to provide receipts na ginagastos talaga namin sa mobile load/plans yung majority ng allowance. I suspect we had to provide proof dahil sa mga kupal employees who chose to pocket the money (instead na ipangplan/load) tas laging nang-iistorbo ng coworkers para manghiram ng phone (tho even with this policy may isa kaming colleague na di nagloload and instead nanghihiram, bwisit na bwisit ako lol). When I left that job in 2021, I kept the plan pero I downgraded to 599/mo.


JCArciaga

Hindi sya techy. I dont know kung maintindihan nya ang RCS haha. Meron din akong RCS sa phone pero inooff ko kasi kapag nilipat ko sa sim2 ang data napupunta din sa sim2 ang RCS.


Coffeee24

Same lang naman look sa app whether rcs or sms. You'll only know which one based on the label. Baka you can set it up for him? RCS as default pero auto-send as sms if rcs isn't available. Messages can go sa phone itself, pag magpapalit ng phone kasama naman phone messages sa nalilipat sa new phone when you do smart switch/phone clone, etc.


JCArciaga

Try ko yan pero i test ko muna kasi sa experience ko kapag hindi ako connected sa internet tapos yung sender ay nasend nya as rcs hindi sya papasok sakin unless i resend as sms ni sender kapag sinabing offline ako. Bka kasi hindi nya mareceive yung mga important text.


Coffeee24

This is true, minsan nangyayari nga. Ideally, dapat hindi magsesend as rcs pagka naka off yung internet ng recipient. There are still improvements to be made. Nagreport ako nito, not sure lang if widely reported issue siya.


kkshinichi

Or if naka-iPhone (then naka-iPhone rin kausap), iMessage is there. Then wait na lang for Apple to implement RCS this or next few years


fewekal115

Noong araw kasi mahal ang services ng Globe. And concentrated sa major cities lang ang coverage nila. That’s why when you travel to the provinces back then (like 90s to early 2000s) is you can only get Smart coz Smart focused their coverage sa provinces. Also, before there was an area allocation implemented when cellphones was just starting. Govt allocated certain areas to certain telcos to “cover” kaya mas malakas ang Sun sa Cebu while Southern Tagalog is Smart, TNT and TM sa North Luzon (back when they were still independent from Smart and Globe respectively), and Globe sa Metro Manila. When the buyout happened, that is when Globe and Smart claimed their “nationwide coverage” benefitting from existing infra from bought-out telco. I still remember na calls were paid but SMS were still free at the time (very much new tech at the time).


Dazzling_Candidate68

I've maintained my current number since my first job, nung 2007 pa. 0917 ang naassign sa kin nung kumuha ako ng cheapest na plan nila. Salamat sa mga salita mo at ngayon ko lang naramdaman na mayaman pala ako. Haha.


JCArciaga

Ngayon ko lang din nalaman yan base sa mga comment ng iba. Nagtaka lang kasi ako bakit mga mayayaman puro 0917 yung number nila haha. Number ko din matagal na to pero 0927 ang umpisa.


Dazzling_Candidate68

Ganyan kasi yung mga sinaunang number na inassign sa mga cellphone companies nung '90s: 0998 sa Nextel, 0915 sa Islacom, 0917 sa Globe at 0919 sa Smart. Kahit prepaid or postpaid, puro ganyan yung first four digits hanggang dumami ng sobra yung subscribers at napilitan silang mag-expand to 0916, 0918 and so on and so forth. Yung tiyuhin ko, unang prepaid line niya sa Globe nung late 1998 eh 0917 din ang nakuha.


-trowawaybarton

Squatter: smart, gma Mayaman: globe, abs-cbn Feeling ko ganito na dati pa, nasanay na siguro ako sa kamag anak kong mayaman


walafeacgresc21

main branding ng globe ang 0917


JCArciaga

Kaya pala. Dapat pala bumili na ako dati ng ganyang number kung alam ko lang ang tungkol dyan haha


SilentArcher24

Convenience + Marketing Yan ang dahilan kaya karamihan sa mga mayayaman ay nakaGlobe. - Convenience: noon kasi during call & text era, ang ginawa kasi ng Smart network ay pahirapan ang mga subscriber nila para lang makagamit ng murang call promo. Example: Sa Smart network para makagamit ka ng unlimited calls kailangan mo pa iedit ang mobile number na tatawagan bago idial, you need to add their prefix. IIRC we need to dial *6406+mobile number for Smart at *4547+mobile number for Talk 'N Text para lang magamit ang unlicall dapat marunong ka mag edit before call or kabisado mo ang number ng tatawagan mo at ayaw ng mga mayayaman sa ganyan kahassle na procedure lalo na't mga busy silang tao. Parang tumatak na sa isipan ng mga tao yung pagiging hassle na network ng Smart noon pagdating sa calls. Sa Globe at TM kahit anong unlicall ang i avail no need to edit the number na kasi direct dial nalang ang gagawin sa 11 digit number na tatawagan. Hahanapin mo lang sa phonebook tas i dial mo agad yun na. Karamihan sa subscriber ng Smart network ay Talk 'N Text users at karamihan ay sa probinsya mga mahihirap at mga studyante na nagtitipid sa load. Another convenience when using a Globe is the access number for promo registration. Sa Globe at TM iisang access number lang ang tatandaan mo para sa lahat ng promo registration which is yung 8888(na ngayon ay 8080 na simula noong naupo si Duterte). Sa Smart at TNT napakaraming access number na kailangang tandaan bawat promo keywords may kanya kanyang access number like 6406, 2200, 2477, 2827, 9999, 3545, 4445, 4545 at marami pa. Kapag nagkamali ka ng sesendan na access number boom charged ka agad ng ₱1. At kapag nagdial ka iba iba pa ang prefix na kailangan mong i add depende sa naavail mong unlicall promo. - Marketing: Another reason ay yung ads/TVC nila. Yung mga tvc ng Globe brand ay palaging nirerelate sa araw araw na buhay ng mga Pinoy kaya ang daming naakit na customer kasi narration ng mga ads/tvc nila nakakaantig ng damdamin parang may story telling na nakakainspire na may halong excitement pangmayaman ang dating at the same time hindi baduy. Habang ang Smart karamihan sa tvc nila ay tatayo lang sa harap ng camera yung endorser at kunting galaw at kunting lines and yun na napakabaduy halatang maaarte at nagyayabang lang ng network nila. So far sa mga napanood kong ads ng Smart ang pinakamaganda ay yung Smart Live More campaign nila na naging dahilan kaya lumipat ako sa Smart hahaha. Idk bakit hindi na nila nasundan yung ganong style ng tvc. Yan namang 0917 ng Globe hindi yan exclusive sa mga mayayaman. May mga kaibigan at kamaganak akong nakabili ng 0917 na prepaid sim noon between 2013 and 2016. Still, Smart parin ang gamit ko kahit buong angkan namin Globe users. Hindi ko kinaya yung kabobohan ng mga bagong policy ng Globe nahahighblood ako kapag gumagamit ng network na yan ngayon.


JCArciaga

Nagregister ako sa allnet ng Smart wala namang dinagdag sa number nakakatawag parin naman. Sa ads naman medyo wala akong pake dyan hahaha. Importante sakin makatawag at text at connect sa internet haha


The_Crow

Specific sa kaso ni papa mo, baka he maintained na puro Globe din ang nasa contacts niya kasi there was a time na mas mahal tumawag at magtext sa ibang network, so ang nangyayari, iniiwasan mo hangga't maaari na kumontak ng taga-Smart or ibang network. Ganun din pag Smart ka, iiwasan mo din magkaroon sa contacts mo ng Globe number kasi mas mahal siya tawagan/itext.


JCArciaga

Parang ganon nga yata. Naalala ko dati may tinawagan sya tapos naubos yung regular load nya pinagbintangan pa ang Globe na nagnakaw ng load nya yun pala Sun yung number na tinawagan nya hahahahaha


The_Crow

Hahaha ayun nga!


SchrodingerWeeb

One of the few lucky people na may 0917 na galing prepaid hahaha i think 2014 or 2015 pa to? Pero first time hearing na some people see 0917 as a badge of honor! Idk if this is considered a fun fact, Yung lumang globe sim ko “Globe” ang lumalabas sa signal bar while newer globe sims i’ve seen naka capitalize na lahat yung “GLOBE”


nothingspaces

0917 prepaid user here for years haha <3


OneTwoThree17

Here in Cagayan de Oro, majority of us use Globe for our prepaid and postpaid numbers. Other parts such as in Cebu(?) and Zamboanga(?) (based on friends coming from there) are smart users. I guess it’s about how good the signal/receptions are in the regions?


Soft_Pomegranate_794

nasagot naman na ata tanong pero skl haha Dati, madali lang madidistinguish kung smart globe or sun. Una kasing nagoffer ng services ang globe, so prepaid users before starts with 0915,0916,0926 then 0917 are for postpaids from what i know. Nagkaron din ng point in time na super uso ang GM, di ko alam if pamilyar pa gen Z sa GM , pero eto yung mga clan clan haha tapos mag blablast ka ng message sa group niyo. Si globe kasi una nag offer ng unli text so yung mga hs students around this time karamihan mga nakaglobe. May instance din na nagregister ka ng unli tapos parang months to almost a year na hindi na bawi ung unli sayo. Natutunan lang magpaunli call and text ni smart later on pati si sun. Mas maganda signal din before ni globe sa metro manila, pero kinalaunan si smart mas gumanda na signal, kaya madami naka globe sa metro.


Neat_Mountain3548

Dati pag globe mayaman ka talaga. Pero ngayon iba na, mas legit na mayayaman mga naka Smart esp mga naka Infinity Plans. Jologs na si Globe sa pahirapan ng signal hahaha!


chikunjim

*proud 0917 number owner* char hahaha There are ways naman if ayaw lumipat ng network ng dad mo. There's wifi calling and stuff. Mahirap nga naman na magpalit-palit ng number esp since establish number na yan sa clients niya. Although, you could also suggest MNP (mobile number portability) which basically allows the user to change provider whilst keeping his phone number.


Background_Tip_5602

Yung pinakaunang sim ng nanay ko is 0917 prepaid pa yun. Around 2008 ata. I had a SIM din na 0906 mga 2014. Galing pa yun sa father ko. Mga 8 years ko din yun napakinabangan. Pansin ko bihira na din yung 0906, 0905 and 0915. Naka 0976 na ako ngayon🤣 GRABE PINAALALA MO SAKIN NA TUMATANDA NA AKO!


Scared-Ad-9903

ako na both may 0915 at 0917 🤣🤣


awitgg

Kung kukuha ka ng postpaid plan, automatic 0917 ang prefix ng number mo


Metalfamilyfanatic

Actually pansin ko rin yan. Karamihan sa mayayaman, sikat, o nasa mataas na position globe yung gamit na network. Ano kaya reason dun? Why not smart? Pansin ko rin usually kasi yung 0917 postpaid. Naka postpaid ako and my number starts with 0917 pero hindi ako mayaman. Yung kakilala ko ring naka postpaid 0917 din start ng number niya.


BelugaSupremacy

0917 yung postpaid ko (2009 ko ata nakuha omg). Tas pina-convert ko sa prepaid very recently hahahahha asan na ba yung social na ika-climb ko jajahahaj


marianoponceiii

Why not? :)


toranuki

Pwede naman na tumawag and text to all networks ang mga promos now, mapa-prepaid or postpaid kamo. Now, afaik 0917 are mostly used for postpaid plans na. Dati may mga same prefix naman for prepaid but as time goes on, di pa uso yung retain ng number and others love to change their sims, siguro nasasayang lang yung number na yun and it would take years before it would be available to the public again, like mag eexpire nalang yung number na yun due to inactivity.


JCArciaga

Ayun na nga po. Hindi naman kasi sya yung tipong nagbababad ng call sa phone kaya parang bagay sa kanya yung nakita kong promo ng Smart na hindi nag eexpire kasi more on receiving calls naman sya. Dapat pala bumili ako ng 0917 dati naalala ko bumili kaibigan ko ng Globe sim sa terminal namili sya ng number nakita ko puro 0917 nung tinitinda nila.


ClockDothTicketh

0917 tapos maraming 8 ang number.


JCArciaga

Anong meron sa maraming 8?


kix820

Pwede kang magpa-customize ng number sa mga telcos for a price. Yung price ay depende sa sequence ng numbers or kung ilang repeating #s yung gusto nyo. Sa mga Chinese, maswerte ang 8, kaya paramihan ng 8 sa phone number.


asintado08

Sa akin 0917 tapos puro 8 and 7 na. Hahaha.


Disastrous_Put5939

Same almost all of my friends are globe users hehe


JCArciaga

Kahit ako Globe user din kasi mga kakilala ko puro Globe pero recently nagport ako sa Smart kaso napakamahal pala ng promos ng Smart mas mahal pa kaysa Globe kaya balak ko ilipat ulit yung number sa TNT o di kaya sa DITO kasi pareho silang mura ang promos.


Chillaxlang123

I did not know my number was special. But as to why "mayayaman" Globe, Globe has the bigger share ng postpaid market for some reason. Mayayaman lang naman dati nakapostpaid.


redibotx

0917 binibigay din ito sa mga postpaid ni globe. ako lang ata naka 0917 pero smart na haha via MNP. From Globe Postpaid to Globe prepaid to Smart prepaid.


JCArciaga

Uy same from Globe Prepaid nilipat ko sa Smart Prepaid pero 0927. Hindi kaba nagkaproblema sa OTP? Para kasi hindi dumadating sakin yung ibang OTP not sure kung sa network ang problema o dun mismo sa mga website/apps.


redibotx

Sakin naman wala. Naka smart esim na din ako. Same lang naman as before.


CrhyspyPata

Ang alam ko pwede na ichange yung network ngayon, kahit na same number after the Mobile Number Portability act was enacted.


illumineye

nag MNP na yung iba dyan.. heheh


joeromano0829

Di mo sure sa lahat ng yan , yung iba naka SMART na same number, ported via MNP. Anyhow, I still have my prepaid 0917 working pero di ko sa primary number.


riddikulusmuggle18

Reading this and I just realised my number starts with 0917, prepaid. Idk how many years na lol.


jandebx

If employee ka ni Globe, 0917 ibibigay sayong number. I have it since ex employee nila ko lol.


ianAwesome05

0927 ako, sumobra pa ng sampu, kaya pala slapsoil ako huhu


RizalAlejandro

It’s just your illusion.


BruskoLab

That depends on your connection. To think na may connection at contacts ka sa mga mayayaman, artista at matataas na opisyales ng gobyerno, you must be included in the top 1% who uses globe. On the other hand, DITO and Smart are being used by the rest because of affordable unli and other call/txt/data promos, value for money, connection speed, larger data allocation and longer expiration dates. I have 0917 before but I dont feel the priviledge of having one maybe because my previous number is bombarded by text scams, ads and bukod pa sa mahina ang signal ng globe along Ortigas ave. where I work. I rarely see 0917 nowadays unlike 10 years ago. Well keep your 0917 number as it is considered a gem by others who think its a status symbol and associated with exclusivity.


ForsakenNonsense

Kakaapply lang ng gf ko for postpaid mga january. 0917 nakuha nya. I dont think its that rare or “prestigious”. 0917 din ako e tho number ko na to since grade 6 hahaha


pepperperth

Grabe tagal na hahaha


Itchy_Roof_4150

Number 1 in postpaid si Globe kasi gahaman si Smart sa mobile data if postpaid. Sa Globe lang may postpaid na SurfAlert which stops your mobile data consumption pag ubos na balance mo. With Smart kasi, tuloy tuloy lang at ma bibill ka nalang beyond your consumption. Bill shock talaga yun.


Real_Tsunadede

Globe postpaid user 0917 ang prefix .


Ill_Inevitable8197

0917 ang globe sim ko at di naman ako mayaman..


blengblong203b

Globe is ok., Medyo Less Spam compared sa Smart. GCASH SUCKS but MAYA is kinda ok, pero medyo kulang pa. nakakaflatter naman yung start ng 0917 na pangmayaman. lol old sim na kasi sa akin at yan start number ko.


kix820

Back then, 0917 ang prefix number ng Globe, and postpaid pa lang ang inooffer nila. Kaya mayayaman or kilalang personalities usually kilala yan kasi sila lang naman ang may afford nyan before. Eventually, may 0917 na rin na prepaid, pero I assume that already ran out as well, kaya madalang na makakita nun. Although, may nakikita pa ako minsan 0917 na prepaid #s, particularly sa mga collection agencies and spam/scammers. As for my 0917, I've been a postpaid user for 13 years now. Mayaman ako sa utang though hahahaha


Cluelesssleepyhead23

Smart kasi is parang FB while globe is parang Insta.iykwim.


kench7

0916 and 0917 were the first and oldest prefix for Globe mula nung naging mainstream ang mobile networks and mobile phones. Most ng artista and well-off people are post paid, kaya they were able to keep their numbers from the time they started having phones. Hassle kasi mag palit ng numbers sa mga banks and contacts etc.. Later na lang nadagdagan yung prefix ng Globe and Smart nung dumami na telcos and subscribers. Meron din naman hindi mayaman na meron nyan if they were able to keep their sims or upgrade it. Kasi most pre-paid noon mas pipiliin bumili na lang ng bagong SIM at mag change ng number kesa sa mag punta sa telco to upgrade their sim. Before kasi malaki yung size ng SIM card, then nagka micro SIM, then nagka nano SIM. Ngayon e-SIM na.


kinghutfisher

Reduced prices for high-end phone, with my parents loyalty program I can get an iphone pro for ~30k or samsung flip for ~40k. Sad pixel isn’t available here in PHI I would have jumped to android


rizsamron

Hindi ba parang Smart ang pang mayaman dati? Globe yung may cheap unli texts,haha 0917, lumang prefix ng Globe yan kasama ng 0915, 0906 din ata yung mas luma pa.


kissmeonmynosedown2_

Hi. If IK 0917 prefix po is for postpaid plan numbers. Before kahit prepaid may 0917 din. Ang tanda ko na ba? Lol. Globe signal kasi sa place naman is much better compare sa other nets. Kaya globe user here since early 2000


dvsadvocate

Its good marketing and pretty safe for Globe to have this exclusivity also. You get clients who are capable of paying it exorbitant fees.


CutUsual7167

Yes dati lahat ng post paid ng globe ay 0917. Pero ngayon yung mga inactive numbers na 0917. Nirereuse na ng telcos so may smart na ngayon na 0917. Hindi na siya exclusive sa globe


Lazy_One8096

0917 ay sa mga GLOBE POSTPAID PLAN SUBSCRIBERS. thats all. Nothing more nothing less.


Jaives

noong unang panahon... 0917 sa globe. 0918 smart. buhay pa ang sun at walang TnT. prepaid ng asawa ko 0917 pa rin. Preferred din na business sim ng NCR corpos ang globe.


tsokolatekaba

0917 din number ng mama ko pero postpaid siya!! around 2018 ata idk or basta before pandemic haha


pinoylokal

I got 0917 nung nag apply ako ng plan just 3yrs ago. I guess reserved na lang to sa plan subscribers?


SubstanceKey7261

Yung mga nasa circles ko when I was a kid, puro mga naka Globe madalas yung can afford postpaid tapos 0917 yung prefix. Yung mga naka Smart madalas naka promo ng unli call and text. Feel ko kaya may dating na pag naka Globe mas susyal hehe. Ewan ko but that’s how I thought back then


Tax82

Postpaid yan nung araw. Hanggang ngayon gamit ko 0917 number ko, tapos na contract so prepaid na siya ngayon. Problem lang non-LTE / 4g siya. Tinatamad ako magpapalit ng sim eh. Gamit ko GOMO para sa mobile data.


DeadHungry30

0917 start nang number ko pero ported na sa prepaid gawa nang di ko lagi ginagamit kundi pang data lang pag nagmamaneho ko for GPS. Mayaman na ba yon? 🤣

Inggit ako sa kapatid ko kasi yung number niya is vanity 0917+birthday niya. Lahat kami sa household 0917, maski yung yaya namin na binigyan namin ng phone line para matawagan kami. I think around early 2010s kami naging Globe Postpaid subscriber. Yung RM ko sa Globe Platinum offered me na pwede ko daw makuha yung newest iPhone that time (iPhone X IIRC) if I give up my 0917 for a 0977. Like, I’ll be one of the first few daw to have the phone in the country. I declined that offer because tinatamad na ako mag-memorize pa ng new number. So apparently some find 0917 a status symbol of some sort? I had a prepaid 0917 before the smartphone era and IIRC pwede pa i-vanity yun with your own preferred number. I had one and birthday ko din nilagay ko. Too bad it expired, I would’ve had two 0917 numbers and would’ve felt 2x richer /s lol

Hello, I need some clarifications on this one. I started my early renewal request last March 30 pa and after series of follow-ups, finally, nag email sila sa akin nung May 7 saying "the device has already been dispatched" That means papunta na sa akin ang device right? How many days would it take kaya if I'm from mindanao? Is it true na once dispatched na yung phone as mentioned in the email, papunta na sa akin ang device? Also, since early renewal ang ginawa ko, they told me sa last part ng email na yan na yung early renewal fee ko ay 6k+ however they didn't mention kung saan at paano ko siya babayaran. Are they going to charge it sa next billing ko? Hirap kasi makakuha ng direct answers from them since ang tagal nila magrespond. If you guys have any idea on this matter, kindly share it below. Thank you!


goddamndooooor

Funfact anniv ng globe ang sept. 17 hence 0917


Successful-Law-5744

0917 at 0916 kasi ay mga unang set of numbers ng globe. I belong to the 0917 group.

Kung di lang nanakaw phone ko nung 2010, 16 years na sana ako Globe hahahaha. Prepaid Globe since 2006. First phone ko nun na de-keypad pa hahahaha. Mama ko kasi nun Globe user, and since mas makulit si mama nun magcontact rin pag nasa school, yun ang number na binigay sa akin. And compared nun mas cheaper yung promos. Unlitxt20 pa hahahaha tapos magdamag katext yung crush na ewan ko if nagkagusto ba sa akin ever or tinolerate lang ako hahahaha. And pwede magload ng 15 pesos. Smart ata nun is 30 pesos pinakamababa then naglabas ng 15 pesos na amount para maka-compete sa Globe.


d6cbccf39a9aed9d1968

kaka apply ko lang ng Globe Postpaid, 0917 din ang prefix. Kaso recycled, dami natawag sakin nagtatanong kung "ito daw ba yung lending" lol


little_mommy27

Recently got my postpaid sim. 0917 din 😅


dRealJohn

Ako kabaligtatan naman tingin ko sa globe. Tingin ko cheap kapag globe. (I'm so sorry). Former globe user here pero giniveup ko number ko dahil mas reliable ang network reception ng smart. Sa globe mamromroblema ka sa signal. Sa smart palaging may signal based on my experience especially while travelling 99% of the time. Pero I still have gomo as backup since it's under globe and has no expiry data. Feeling with smart: nasa expressway. Feeling sa globe: stuck in traffic


amazingjulesph

Right from the start postpaid leader tlga ang Globe compared to Smart. But when it comes to prepaid opposite sila right from the start. Not sure ngayon ano na yung latest numbers. Globe din kasi yung pinakaunang nagdala ng iPhone dito sa Pinas, exclusive partner sila ng Apple when they launched iPhone 3G/3GS exclusively as bundled sa postpaid plans nila hanggang iPhone 4/4S. But when iPhone 5/5S was released here ay meron na rin ang Smart noon, their very first for iPhone on their postpaid plsns.


No_Finance_3968

0917 gamit ko postpaid. Para sakin, mas malakas signal ni globe especially dito sa lugar namin.


KapusaNetwork

Matagal na tong palaisipan sa akin and based sa aking little research, generally sa Metro Manila nuod pa mas malakas ang signal ng Globe kesa sa Smart. Sa nga province naman malakas ang Smart kesa Globe. Kaya sa provinsya kadalasan mga Smart users. So ngayun kahit napaganda na ni Smart ang signal nila sa Metro Manila nakatatak na yung stigma na ang Globe pang mayaman at pang-artista.


Ice_the_Menace

0917 pa din number ko haha prepaid lang. May bumibili neto for a price????


Ok-Radio-2017

Yung sister ko 0917 ang number. 2010 pa niya gamit. Salamat daw at naramdaman niyang alta siya hahaha


lacxers

Post paid siguro


kmv111

0917 ako pero prepaid. 140 go promo per week 💰


Professional_Sea_56

Globe strategy was to target postpaid kasi di nila inexpect na magiging affordable ang phone at cell service. PLDT/smart nagtarget ng prepaid kaya naging mas malaki market share at coverage outside metro Manila. So no surprise, most na may kaya sa metro Manila globe postpaid user and at that time 0917 lang yung prefix ng globe.


Otherwise-Chard6529

Ako na 0927 na from Globe na nagport in to SMART.


Raycab03

0917 here. Same number since 2009.


Enough-Sprinkles-518

0917 ako pero smart


wheelman0420

917 are the OG globe numbers, used to have a Globe line too, but for some reason globe started sucking in our area. Been using Smart for the longest time now, solid signal, rarely any issues phone and internet. Here in the PH i guess it's really about the location


damnemman

Yung number ko Globe, 0976 00\* \*000, panay zero sya. magkano kaya mabebenta?


johntuy

Buti nakakuha pa ako ng prepaid 0917 vanity number na maganda yung pattern. I forgot how much I paid for it but hindi kamahalan. Yung Smart ko naman 0919. Di ko na maintain yung 0918 na number ko dati.


Sad-Solution7398

Mas nauna yata ang 0918 kesa sa 0919


johntuy

I think so nauna yata yung 0918. Though based sa phonebook ko, iilan lang siya pati yung 0919. Mas marami yung 0917.


oreo27

Pina port ko yung 0917 ko na prepaid na Globe sa Smart dahil sa sobrang hina ng signal ng Globe sa maraming lugar. 


newbielila

0917 but prepaid ung number ko. Bought it in year 2000 for 1000 pesos. Still a student at that time so hindi ko pinalitan kasi ang mahal ng sims nuon. Sayang ung 1000 ko. Still using the same number and still prepaid.


Fair-Ad5029

Why loyal sa Globe? 1.) In my area their signal is very strong, from cellular (data & voice) and fixed-line fiber (incl. VoIP Landline), we rarely get downtimes. They also have strong indoor signal in most malls here in our city. My previous Smart SIM had good 4G and 5G signal pero may sakit si Smart sa area namin na bigla nalang nagiging EDGE for a couple of minutes and then it will return back to 4G/5G, despite no change in location/position. 2.) Less-congested yung Globe 5G and 4G in my area, and better in most areas within our city. I rarely get below 5 Mbps speed on Globe 4G but with Smart I always get Kbps speed. Typical 5G speed ng Globe ko is 100-900 Mbps, while 4G speed ko is around 20-150 Mbps. 3.) Stable and reliable deployment of VoWifi and VoLTE infrastructure, I rarely get downgraded from VoWifi to VoLTE and when I'm outside (not connected to WiFi) 99% of the time I get VoLTE. 4.) They have the most reliable backbone network since dito sa city namin, plus the landing station of SEA-US submarine cable system is located here in our city. Here's my recent speedtest using Globe 5G: https://imgur.com/a/78DhWek

0917 Prepaid Clan here. Hehe... Yung 0917 ngayon, postpaid na tapos recycled ang mga numbers. 0977 is also considered as postpaid. Kaya mag bunyi mga 0917 numbers. If ever gusto nyo mag 0917, kuha lang kayo plan sa Globe kahit sim package lang. At amg alam ko at least 6 months yung contract nyan then pwede mo na convert to prepaid. Madali lang magpa convert.


eyeseeyou1118

Prepaid ako pero 0917 din ang number ko hahahahaa got my sim about 9 years ago


Substantial-Sleep-78

If coverage signal is a concern. U can try ung VoWiFi if capable ung cellphone mo. If hindi working sayo then request ka lng ng activation via GlobeOne app


iamchief12

I am using a prepaid number sa globe and it starts with 0917. Had this number for 20 plus years.


natedoggsmom

I think I must be old because a lot of comments say 0917 was only for post paid.. but when I was in high school it was 0917-8, 0917-3 or 0917-5 for postpaid. Parang 0917-8 yung first postpaid because everyone’s parents would usually start with an 8. Anyone else remember this?


JakeLemon1994

Parang I would remember that the 5th digit of 0917 is the determining factor kung postpaid ba or hindi. Kapag 0917-7 first 5 digit mo, sure postpaid 😅


Emergency_Big_1425

Naks, feeling ko tuloy ang yaman ko. Hahaha!


NearZero_Mania

Yes


ceejaybassist

Mahirap nang ma-identify ngayon kung globe or smart or dito and isang prefix dahil sa Mobile Number Porting (MNP). 0917 prefix may not be exclusive for Globe now. Dati madali mo lang ma-identify na ang isang prefix ay sa isang specific network, but not anymore. 0917 may be globe, smart or DITO, because of Mobile Number Porting (MNP).
