Philippine SIM offers the Globe SIM card. This card lets you keep in touch with your loved ones in the Philippines. An added bonus is that you can use the Globe SIM card from anywhere in the world. Your SIM card is unblocked and ready to use when you receive it in the mail. If you find that it does not work on your phone, it is because your cell phone has a lock. In this case, unlock it from your cell phone provider.
