Globe celebrates UST's 400th year

MANILA, Philippines –  Globe Telecom partners with the University of Santo Tomas to celebrate its quadricentennial foundation year. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of Asia’s oldest university, Globe launched the UST SIM Hero promo, which gives Thomasians special rates and freebies.

The Globe UST SIM gives its users customized content, including free 200 text messages, which will allow the school administration to text blast announcements and reminders to students, faculty and staff. Aside from this, UST SIM card holders enjoy a significantly reduced promo call rate of P0.05 per second, or P3 per minute to any Globe-UST, Globe and TM subscriber. This is 54 percent cheaper than the regular call rate of P6.50 per minute. Each text message sent from a Globe-UST Prepaid SIM costs only P0.50 per text message to any Globe and TM subscriber, which is 50 percent lower than the regular SMS rate of P1 per message.
