More and more Filipinos enjoy unlimited local calls to the Philippines through the MyWorld phone, a new mobile phone service provided by Next Mobile, Inc. (formerly Nextel Communications Philippines).
MyWorld phone comes with two phone numbers: a Philippine number and a U.S. number. Upon subscription, the phone is provided to the relatives of the U.S. OFWs/immigrants in the Philippines so that U.S.-based Filipinos need not make international long distance calls. Instead, they can just dial the U.S. number, so calls to the Philippines become local calls for them. Since it is a local call, no long distance toll charges apply. One can enjoy the benefit of unlimited calls for just a flat monthly rate. The phone can also be used to call other carriers in the Philippines or to make IDD calls.
It’s easy to subscribe to the service. One can visit the website at
www.myworld.ph or call its toll-free number to subscribe via credit card, and NMI will take care of shipping the phone unit to the Philippine recipient. The phone is given away for free for those who subscribe to a one-year service.
NMI is all set to aggressively pursue the burgeoning market created by the millions of overseas Filipinos who stay abroad permanently as immigrants, or temporarily as overseas workers. The service intends to benefit Filipinos working and living abroad, as well as their relatives in the Philippines, by providing a means of communication that will nurture the close family ties value of the Filipinos and to compensate the physical loss by providing a stress free facility to call their loved ones.
NMI currently has a network covering the entire Metro Manila: from Baguio in North Luzon and up to Batangas in Southern Luzon. The MyWorld phone has expanded its services in European countries such as Austria, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and France.
