MANILA – November 19, 2013 – ABS-CBNmobile has announced that it will be giving away 100,000 SIM cards to survivors of super typhoon Yolanda. It will also be setting up free call and text centers in typhoon-affected areas.
ABS-CBNmobile will be providing the SIM cards loaded with P50, 15 free texts to all networks, and 5MB of internet to help survivors communicate with their family and friends. These cards will be given away along with relief packages in tandem with Sagip Kapamilya.
Outside the calamity areas, 100,000 SIM cards will also be sold to enable sharing of prepaid load with the survivors. Load sharing can be done by texting Share<space><amount> to 2131. Load amounts in of P10, P20, P50, and P100 can be shared.
All load shared will be collected and distributed to Yolanda survivors. To find out how much load has been shared, ABS-CBNmobile SIM card subscribers can text Share<space>Status to 2131. All transactions done through 2131 are free.
Because of the limited telecom signal and access to television being experienced in Yolanda-ravaged areas, ABS-CBNmobile has also partnered with SkyCable to put up TV Viewing and call centers, starting with Tacloban, and to be rolled out in other key areas. The TV and call centers will be available until power and communication lines in the affected areas have normalized.
To find out the locations where ABS-CBNmobile SIMs are available, call 7878 through an ABS-CBNmobile SIM card, or 266-7878 from a landline.
