Globe has partnered with WhatsApp to offer zero-rated access to the mobile messaging app with a prepaid promo or postpaid plan subscription.

Prepaid customers registered to any text, call or surf promos as well as postpaid customers on myLifestyle Plan can receive free access to WhatsApp.

WhatsApp recently introduced its WhatsApp Calling feature that allows users to make and accept calls, decline or respond to calls with a message, use a speakerphone and mute the microphone feature.

“Users can enjoy free calls, texts and photo sharing with other WhatsApp users anywhere in the world without worrying about their data charges or the need to look for Wi-Fi spots,” said Issa Cabreira, Globe Senior Vice President for Consumer Mobile Marketing.

“With the new WhatsApp Calling feature, our 800 million users can easily call their friends all over the world,” said Brian Acton, Co-Founder of WhatsApp. “We’re excited to be partnering with Globe to enrich everyday communications for Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad.”
