The Prepaid LTE SIM cards are available in Combi and Nano SIM versions to fit all SIM card slot sizes. The Combi SIM fits current handsets with regular and micro SIM card slots, while the Nano version fits handsets with smaller card slots such as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Upon purchase, Prepaid LTE subscribers can activate free Spotify and GoSurf access for one day by texting in FREEGS30 (for Combi SIMs) and FREEGS50 (for Nano SIMs) to 8888.

The new Prepaid LTE SIM cards are priced at Php40 (Combi) and Php75 (Nano). Starting tomorrow, November 16, current prepaid subscribers who wish to have their current number on the new LTE SIM may proceed to the nearest Globe Store to have their SIMs replaced. Of course, the LTE coverage may be dependent and will work best on your LTE-capable handset, and a location with a strong LTE signal to experience great speeds.

LTO Still Battling License Card Shortage

Are you planning to renew your Driver’s License anytime soon? If so, then don’t be surprised if a Land Transportation Office personnel only issues you a paper (official receipt) that will serve as your temporary license while the government agency is still experiencing shortage of License Card.

LTO spokesperson Jason Salvador explained that the shortage is primarily due to the recent order from the Commission on Audit (COA) which disallowed the payment to the Amalgamated Motors Philippines Inc. (AMPI), the company that used to supply license cards to LTO, because of the lack of proper contract.

License Card

The issue was brought up when the Senate committee on finance exposed that the Land Transportation Office has been paying AMPI to supply the agency with license card for more than two decades without proper contract.

During the inquest, the committee also discovered that the contract between LTO and AMPI has been expired since 1990 and was renewed annually until 2006 without public bidding.

Meanwhile, AMPI apologizes for the mishap and points out that the scarcity in license card is due to the recent issue in port congestion. The firm expects that things will start to normalize “within the next few days”.
