Filipinos enjoy Free Facebook from Globe

Just a few days ago, October 22, Globe Senior Advisor for Consumer Business Peter Bithos and Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu met with the genius behind Facebook, its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. With this business trip, Globe made it possible for all Globe users (and new prospects) to get a daily dose of the new daily bread, Facebook.com, free for a period of 3 months. Yes all Globe users, prepaid and postpaid subscribers can enjoy free Facebook.

From the time Facebook became available in the country, Filipinos had made Facebook part of their lives. It was also one of the major reason why even friends, colleagues even from the distant past can still connect with each other. As of June 2013 over 30 Million Pinoys have a Facebook account, which is not surprising anymore as even kids who are technically not qualified to register, were already using the said social networking site.



This exciting offer from Globe made more users to stay and enjoy its services while interacting with their Facebook friends free for 3 months. This is not limited to status update, but should allow its users to enjoy all the features available on Facebook, as long as it won’t need to access an external site.


"Globe knows that to bring the next billion online will require deep collaboration between players across the ecosystem. For the past several years, Globe has been on the forefront of partnering with leading digital players and as a result, brought millions online. Now, with our partnership with Facebook, we are leading the way for carriers globally. With this breakthrough partnership, we will give our 36 million subscribers uninterrupted, seamless and worry-free Free Facebook experience without the need for Wi-Fi," said Peter Bithos, Senior Advisor for Consumer Business at Globe Telecom.


Now with this collaborative work, not only Globe made one of the best tie-ups in the mobile industry here in the country, but also opened its doors to a bigger future for Filipinos and the mobile industry as a whole



Bithos added, "This is not just a carrier zero-rating some links. This is deep collaboration between Globe and Facebook for a seamless customer experience to overcome the fear of using mobile internet. This is collaboration at its peak to get more people online and connected with each other around the world."

This will be available to support major smartphone operating systems such Android and iOS. Will later support Nokia Express and Opera Mini users as more exciting offers will be publicly announced.


We at Benteuno.com noticed that it's somewhat already available, since the Facebook app says "FREE DATA", though Globe says it will be officially available starting last Thursday of the month, 31st of October 2013.
