0953 What Network Philippines [Globe or Smart]
Many Filipinos use dual SIM phones to take advantage of different network promos and better signal coverage. However, with so many telecom prefixes, it can be difficult to remember which number belongs to which network. This often results in users accidentally making calls or sending texts from the wrong SIM, leading to higher charges or failed connections.
To help mobile users easily identify the correct network, I have created a detailed guide explaining each prefix separately. In this article, I will focus on the 0953 prefix, which is officially assigned to Globe Telecom and its subsidiary, Touch Mobile (TM).
0953 What Network in Philippines
0953 is a prefix code that belongs to the famous mobile networks ‘Globe’ or ‘Touch Mobile’ in the Philippines. If you need more information about the Globe network, we have discussed it in detail below. Read on!
Why To Know Your Network?
Knowing your prefix code will help you purchase the right package for your area at a reasonable price. This also helps you avoid paying extra when communicating with users who have the same prefix code or are on the same network.
Plans Offered By TM
Touch Mobile network has both prepaid and postpaid users, so they offer prepaid and postpaid packages at affordable prices and also offer other plans at very cheap prices. However, if you want to activate these packages, first register your SIM with Globe or TM, and then purchase your pocket-friendly package.
How To Switch Network?
The easiest and simplest way to change your prefix code is through the mobile portability service. Download your network porting app. Once the download and installation are complete, open the app. Go to the help center, click on it, and then select the option ‘Switch my number.’ Enter the required information, and the network support team will transfer it.
Does It Support 5G Network?
Yes, the 5G network is available, but not in all parts of the Philippines, only in specific areas. According to the official website, Globe has covered 3,000+ outdoor and 40+ indoor areas in the Philippines. Globe or Touch Mobile started 5G network support in Bonifacio Global City and Makati, where they covered more areas within one year.
Other cities in the Philippines will be covered once 5G mobile devices become more available in the market. 5G internet offers much higher speeds compared to 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. It is 3x faster than 4G, meaning you can download large videos in seconds. The 5G network also has the capacity to connect 100x more devices compared to 4G.
How Do I Check If My SIM Supports 5G?
First, check if your phone supports 5G technology. If it does, follow the guidelines below. Simply send a message to ‘8080’ by texting ‘SIMCHECK,’ and they will inform you if your SIM is supported for the 5G network. You can also check the list of areas where the 5G network is available on the official Globe website.
How To Get 10GB Free Data From Globe Touch Mobile?
To get 10GB of free data from the Globe network, you need to upgrade your 4G SIM to an LTE/5G SIM. After the upgrade, you will automatically receive an SMS from Touch Mobile confirming that 10GB of internet data has been activated on your SIM.
How To Check Globe Telecom Data Remaining?
There are three different methods to check your remaining data in Globe Telecom. Let’s discuss!
