GTSOS or the Emergency Text Service lets you borrow 3 texts to Globe/TM numbers valid for 1 day, plus P1 load. You may register to the service even if you have zero load or with existing balance.

GTSOS is available to all Globe Prepaid and TM customers.

Simply text GTSOS and send it to 3733. You will then receive a text notification, informing you that you can use the service.

Remember, you may register and use GTSOS even without load. There is also no limit on the number of times you can subscribe to the service as long as you do not have an existing or unpaid loan.

That's because we would like our users to use one keyword without having to worry whether they use Globe or TM brand.

Yes! Here's how:

For Globe Prepaid customers:

To access, select My Account > Use Emergency Text Service.

To register, select My Account > Use Emergency Text Service > Subscribe.

To check balance, select My Account > Use Emergency Text Service > Status.

For TM customers:

To access, select Bal Inquiry > Use Emergency Text Service.

To register, select Bal Inquiry > Use Emergency Text Service > Subscribe.

To check balance, select Bal Inquiry > Use Emergency Text Service > Status.

You may already use the service once you received the confirmation message after registration.

Yes. But don't worry, you can still use the GTSOS service even if you have used up the Php 1 maintaining balance.

No. The Emergency Text Service is available 24/7.

Sorry, but you can only register and use the service only when you are in the Philippines.

It means that the service is experiencing momentary downtime and you may try to register again after a while.

You can check your GTSOS SMS balance by texting GTSOSBAL to 3733. You can also text BAL to 222 (for Globe customers) or dial *102# (for TM customers).

Just reload at least Php 4 after your GTSOS service expires. You will then be charged Php 4 and will receive an SMS notification.

Here is the list of promos which cannot co-exist with GTSOS:

SMS is the most popular usage of Globe / TM prepaid customers. But eventually we may offer the same emergency service for calls.

With Txt Mo Libre Ko, you can text for free just by adding 2354 to the 11-digit Globe cellphone number you are trying to reach. If the recipient accepts the SMS, they will be charged Php 1 to receive it and to reply.

This will require confirmation from the person you are asking load to. With GTSOS, there's no need for a confirmation from another person. As long as you are qualified, you just need to send the correct registration syntax.

Emergency Text Service is a permanent emergency service from Globe.

The payment for the Emergency Text Service is now deducted on your next reload even when your loaned promo is not yet expired. This allows you to avail of Emergency Text Service whenever you needed. Reminder that you should not have any unpaid balance.
