Globe once again has launched another first in the Philippines and in the world as it unleashed last Tuesday, February 12 at Hotel Intercontinental Makati the next generation in prepaid. Named as GoSakto and patterned after their postpaids mysuperplan. Prepaid subscribers this time will have the ability to customize their own combo literally and have it named by themselves.
THREE WAYS TO DO IT.
There are three ways to access and create your own combo: its either via the website www.globe.com.ph/gosakto, via the phone by accessing *143# and via Facebook in which they can post their combo that they have created for others to see and use. That’s correct for others to use, if they think that the combo posted by their friends will suit their lifestyle or they can also opt to edit the combo created and have it tweaked by themselves.
The event was held at the jampacked Grand Ballroom of Hotel Intercontinental Makati and it was hosted by Vice Ganda.
“We are thrilled to disrupt the prepaid market with yet another innovation that will change the behavior of today’s subscribers when it comes to availing promos, “ said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Prepaid. “With GoSakto, subscribers will bid pre-made and canned prepaid promos goodbye. No customer is the same as the other. One would want more voice calls, another is a heavy texter, and other enjoys browsing. One prefers 1-day promos, the other chooses those with longer validity. At the end of the day, you are the only one who truly understand and know your needs when it comves to connecting with your friends and loved ones.”
The steps in creating your own promo is as easy as answering multiple choice exam. First is to choose a promo then customize that promo by selecting the number of calls and texts, its ether within the network or across other networks, next is to choose the data service or choosing the mb for internet usage and lastly the validity of the promo created and also you have to name your promo that you have created, after that you will receive a confirmation message and your good to go. You wouldn’t get lost since its step by step process.
As of end-2012, Globe Prepaid subscribers reached 16.4 million, up 6% from previous year despite a highly-challenging prepaid market. Gross additions posted a quarterly-high of 3.1 million in the fourth quarter, 14% above third quarter’s level of 2.7 million on the back of value-for-money offers, innovative unlimited promos, and competitively-priced international services. Net incremental subscribers substantially grew in the fourth quarter registering at almost 300,000 compared to the previous quarter with only 33,000.
