MANILA, Philippines - Globe Duo, a breakthrough product of Globe Telecom, has been hailed as a finalist in the Best Mobile Service Category of the 2010 Mobile Excellence Awards.

Globe Duo competes with well-known international brands in the field of mobile services and high-breed technology solutions under the category.

Launched in April 2009, Globe Duo is a game-changing service, offering the first-ever two-in-one mobile and landline service that provides unlimited, meter-free calls to landlines and other Duo users.

The Duo service platform also paved the way for other breakthrough products like SuperDuo and SuperHomephone which combine unlimited landline calling and unlimited calling to Globe/TM numbers,” said Ferdz de la Cruz, Globe’s consumer sales head.

“We offer this global recognition to our customers who continue to inspire us to innovate around their needs and break traditional ways of communicating for personal or business use,” he said.
