Globe is the largest mobile operator in the Philippines, serving more than 86.6 million customers. If you are in the Philippines and a Globe subscriber, you might want to check your SIM number. We tend to remember our phone number after a while, but there are many occasions where we can’t recall it on the spot. It gets annoying and sometimes embarrassing when you want to recharge or give out the number to somebody, but you can’t remember what it is.
Moreover, the mobile numbers in the Philippines are 11-digit long, so they become difficult to memorize for some people. In such cases, there is no need to worry. There are multiple ways to figure out your Globe SIM number, with or without account balance. Let’s explore them one by one.
1. Utilize Settings on Android and Apple Devices
We’ll explain the gist of the technique for Android, then turn our attention to our iOS readers. Let’s start
Seeing the Number on an Android Device
Here’s a quick a simple method that only requires you to insert the Globe SIM into your Android device. Afterward, open Settings then go to About Phone → Status → SIM Status → My Phone Number. The steps could be slightly different depending on the model. However, this method may not work in some cases. Instead of showing the SIM number, you may see Unknown displayed on the screen.
Looking the Number Up for an iOS or iPadOS Device
The equivalent procedure for iOS users is even less complicated. Just put the Globe SIM card into your iPhone and go to Settings → My Number. The menu will show it under the “My Number” tab. If it doesn’t load, ensure sufficient signal strength, so the antenna can fetch the SIM data from the service provider. If the SIM card is no longer valid or faulty, it likely won’t show it at all.
2. Call or Text Another Number from Globe SIM
This approach will function when you have enough balance to make a local call or send a local SMS. Give a call or leave a missed call to somebody close using your Globe SIM. You’ll see your number displayed on their phone’s screen. Likewise, send an SMS to somebody you know and ask them to disclose the number they received it from.
3. Examine the Globe SIM Card Kit
Every Globe SIM card has a corresponding phone number printed on it. For this, you will need to remove the SIM card from the phone. However, the printed number could be too tiny for your eyes to read. Therefore, we suggest taking a picture of the SIM card using a camera on your phone and zooming in to see the number clearly.
4. Install the Globe Mobile App to Check SIM Number
If you use the Globe mobile app frequently and always stay logged in, it will only take a couple of seconds to check the SIM number. Simply open the app and the digits will be shown on the homepage. However, remember that this is an online method, so an active internet connection is necessary to run the app. If you have no data or Wi-Fi, the app won’t get to the home page. Moreover, if you are a new user and haven’t signed in yet, you cannot proceed to log in. That’s because, to do so, you need to know the number in the first place.
5. Ask People That May Know Your Globe SIM Number to Check
Asking people close to you about your forgotten SIM number is a process that shouldn’t surprise you. If you are using your Globe SIM actively, there’s a strong chance many individuals have your phone number saved in their contact list. You can take their help to figure out your lost Globe SIM number. Unfortunately, if you just purchased it, the chances of someone having your number memorized are slim.
6. Contact Globe’s Customer Support
Finally, you may decide to call the Globe helpline number or visit their nearest outlet. If you choose the former option, you’ll need to dial 211 from your Globe SIM card. If your number belongs to a different carrier, call the alternative helpline number at 02 730 1000/1010. You can also chat on the official website or email [email protected]. The Globe customer service representative will check the number for SIM after you provide your name and some details on your civil ID so keep the latter handy.
Another way to get in touch with the representative is to walk into your closest Globe store. Take your SIM card and civil ID with you. The clerk will solve your problem and extract your mobile phone number from the company’s database. This method could be time-consuming if the Globe outlet is far away. In that case, dialing the number is a superior solution.
More ways of checking your Globe SIM number can conceivably exist. Fortunately, we went over all the major methods in this article. No matter which one you pick, always note the number down for future use.
