Acquiring a new TM SIM card provides access to a range of introductory offers and data promos designed for new users. These freebies typically require specific activation steps, including SIM registration and the submission of keyword codes via SMS. The process involves inserting the SIM, ensuring network connectivity, and utilizing official channels such as the *143# USSD menu or the TM and GlobeOne apps to manage the account and claim rewards.
Activation and Initial Setup
To begin the process of claiming freebies, the physical TM SIM card must be correctly installed and activated within a mobile device. The standard procedure involves inserting the SIM into the phone and powering the device on to establish a network signal. Upon successful connection, users generally receive a welcome text message from TM containing their new mobile number.
Once the SIM is active, users can access offers and account details by dialing *143# or downloading the TM App. It is mandatory to register the SIM card at the official portal, https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg, to comply with regulations and unlock full functionality. After the SIM is registered and connected to the network, it is considered fully activated and eligible for promotional bonuses.
SIM Registration Requirements
SIM registration is a prerequisite for claiming most freebies and ensuring account security. The process varies slightly depending on whether the user is activating a new SIM or porting an existing number.
For standard new SIM activation, users must visit the official Globe registration portal. Alternatively, registration can be initiated via text message by sending REG 4G or REG 5G to 808, depending on the SIM type. A confirmation SMS will indicate successful registration.
For users wishing to transfer their existing mobile number to TM while keeping the same digits (Mobile Number Portability), the process involves additional steps: 1. Obtain the 9-digit Unique Subscriber Code (USC) from the current provider. 2. Visit the Globe MNP page to submit the current number and customer details. 3. Wait for approval (within 48 hours), which includes delivery of a new TM MNP SIM and a 6-digit Porting Code. 4. Insert the new TM MNP SIM, select "Port In" on the SIM menu, and submit the Porting Code. 5. Restart the phone to complete the switch.
