MyHNU Globe SIM soon to be released
Holy Name University (HNU) has entered into a partnership with Globe Telecommunications to produce a personalized prepaid Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card that would provide new services to HNU students, such as access to an emergency/crisis hotline, paying tuition and making inquiries about grades, all through the cell phone.
The service which is first-of-its-kind in the province will be launched this month.
The SIM, called MyHNU Prepaid SIM Card, has all the features of a regular 64K prepaid SIM card.
Globe Telecom- Bohol Business Center officer in charge Eden Descallar said, "The MyHNU SIM is a new product of Globe which is intended for students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and the rest of the Holy Namian community. The SIM is exclusive for Holy Name University powered by Globe."
This is to build partnerships with schools which we called ‘affinity school,†Descallar added.
Aside from the services of a regular Globe sim card, the MyHNU SIM will also feature customized dowloadables like the Holy Namian logo and Holy Namian song, ringtones, picture messages, logos and wallpapers of the University and organizations in campus and updates from Holy Name University administration, Student Government, and Council of Student Organizations.
Through the SIM, we can disseminate information faster and we can reach out to the Holy Namian community in a more direct manner.," Arman Morales, Globe Telecom region head on sales and distribution said during the briefing last Monday.
Another feature of MyHNU SIM is the electronic way of sending and receiving money, buying prepaid cell phone load, paying bills and other money-related transactions via text message.
Students can pay their tuition through GCash instead of lining up at the treasurer’s office, they just send a text message. This is faster, more affordable and secure.
Student can also inquire about their grade through the SIM card via a special menu for this purpose.
To avail of the MyHNU SIM card, students will have to buy the SIM, fill out a pre-registration form and present an identification card (ID) number.
The SIM will cost Php 99, while text and calls within the network will be at a cheaper rate at 75 centavos per text and 10 centavos per second for calls. However, the same rates apply for text and calls to other networks.
Globe will have a two-week-long launching of the product from August 20 -31. Stalls, where the product will be sold, will be put up in the different colleges in the university.
Globe Telecom is still looking into the possibility of adding more features and downloadables to the SIM.
MYHNU SIM is very timely as the University will be celebrating her 60th year of providing quality education to the Boholano people.
