Globe continues to pioneer in efforts to provide new and affordable calling offers as it launches its new IDD Suki promo to help enrich lives of overseas Pinoys by keeping them connected with their loved ones here in the country.

“IDD Suki is the first and only IDD load that you can buy at any retailer, whether at a sari-sari store, grocery, canteen, market stall, or other load outlet,” said Globe Segment Business Head for Overseas Filipino Communities (OFC) Alan C. Supnet,

“With Globe IDD Suki, Globe prepaid subscribers can now easily call their loved ones in eight countries at very affordable rates. Compared to other IDD promos, IDD Suki is easy to use. There is no need to dial prefixes, prepaid call numbers or PINS, or listen to a recording. And since it is readily available in all your suking tindahan, there is no need to go far to avail of this IDD promo,” Supnet added.

There are two (2) IDD Suki packages to choose from, depending on the country that you plan to call. IDD Suki 20 allows a user to make an IDD call to the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore for five minutes for only P20, while IDD Suki 30 is P30 for a three minute IDD call to Saudi Arabia, UAE, or Kuwait.

Popular singer Gary V “Mr. Pure Energy” who recently starred in Globe’s latest TV commercial for Globe IDD Suki believes in the integrity of the product “As an artist who often performs abroad, I know how hard it is for OFWs to be away from their families. In many of the countries I visit, many Pinoys talk to me and some even cry to me. It makes me realize how important it is to hear from friends and family regularly. Globe recognizes this sacrifice, and that is why with the launch of Globe’s Suki IDD, it is now easier for families of overseas Filipinos to always remain connected to their loved ones abroad.”
