Globe, a telecom company in the Philippines, has launched a service called Scam Protect. As part of it, Globe subscribers can use Whoscall, an app that flags suspicious callers, at no cost. The news was reported by GIZGUIDE, a Philippine tech website.

What changed

Globe now offers Scam Protect to its subscribers. The main perk named in the report is free access to Whoscall. The app is built to warn you when a call may be from a scammer, so you can decide whether to pick up.

Who it affects

The offer is aimed at people who use Globe. If you are on another network, the report does not say whether the app is available to you for free. Families may find it useful too, since scam calls often target parents and older relatives, though the report does not spell out any family features.

What is not known yet

The report gives few details. The material does not explain how to sign up, which phones or plans are covered, or how long the free offer lasts. It also does not say how well the app works or whether it covers text messages.

  • How to get the free app through Globe
  • Which plans and phones qualify
  • Whether the offer has an end date
  • Whether texts are covered, not just calls

What to do

Globe subscribers should check Globe directly for sign-up steps and coverage details. Use Globe's official channels rather than links sent in a message, since scammers often copy the look of real company offers.

The takeaway

If you use Globe, ask the company how to get the free Whoscall app and what it covers before you rely on it.
