Globe Free Apps and Globe Calls

Globe Free Apps Screenshot Globe Telecom recently launched Free Apps, a “portal” where subscribers can download free applications from Globe Labs developers and third-parties. Free Apps website can be accessed online thru your computer or mobile phone. There already have a handful of free apps available for download including my personal favorite, Globe Calls! :D

Globe Calls is a free app that keeps prefixes of Globe call promos. This means you don’t have to memorize all those prefixes as they are stored on the app itself. You just have to open the app and dial the number from there. As of now, the following promos are in the Globe Calls list:

  • Sakto Calls (10 centavos per second, 5 centavos per second on Sundays)
  • P10/3 min
  • Tawag 236 (P20/20min)
  • Unlicalls Nyt

The only problem I see in this app is that it doesn’t have an update option. Once all of those promos terminate, the application becomes useless. New promos are not added on the fly, too. It’s too hassle for end-users to download a version of the app manually everytime new promos are released.

Globe Calls has a Touch Mobile counterpart, TM Calls.

Nice application. So irereplace ko na ang isang shortcut sa homescreen ko.

Sa mga walang shortcuts sa homescreen, kawawa sila. They have to go to their applications para mahanap ung globe app.

@Erik: I believe pwede siya itransfer thru PC Suite ng phone mo. Or if you have a bluetooth dongle on your PC, you may send it to your phone. Another option is to download it directly thru your phone.

@Merrie: Wala pa daw siya WAP version but you can access it thru mobile @ web.portal.globe.com.ph. Just go to Free Apps.

@deejay: Anong pinagsasabi mo? :P
