PLDT looking 4 American partner for mobile voice, data service in US


This may be a catch up move as Globe already has a major USA partner, Vonnage offering unlimited free calls to all Globe's Postpaid, Globe Prepaid, TM and Globelines subscribers in the Philippines  The Globe Vonage plan combines unlimited calling to all of Globe’s more than 31 million mobile and wireline subscribers which includes their cell phones and landlines and should make the Globe landline subscription very desired in the Philippines as a result.

If PLDT, SMART, SUN, and Talk & Text were all combined in the same package linkup as sister companies, it would be a great incentive for subscribers of PLDT like Globe has already.

CEBU - The international sales and marketing arm of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. is looking to partner with an American company for mobile voice and data services, targeting over three million Filipinos based in the US.

"We are really striving hard to get to larger markets. We opened in Taiwan, Malaysia, Guam, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. The challenge is picking the right partner in the US," Eric Alberto, PLDT executive vice president and head of Enterprise and International and Carrier Business told reporters.
