Globe Telecom launches a new Short Messaging System (SMS) service which will allow all Globe prepaid subscribers to send free text messages to family and friends within the Philippines, even without prepaid credit load.
The service, called FreeTxt, is Globe’s answer to its prepaid clients’ struggles when they need to send an important text only to find out that they’ve already ran out of credits and there are no loading stations nearby. Globe worked with two of Southeast Asian companies, Feedtext International Pte. and Axis Global Interactive (AGI) to develop the service.
