PLDT Group expanded its communication assistance for overseas Filipinos in the Middle East by extending free call services and establishing additional call stations in select PLDT and Smart stores located in major malls.
The expanded effort builds on an initial order from PLDT Group Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, who previously instructed the group to activate emergency communication support for Filipinos in affected countries.
Free calls to the Philippines through TinBo (Tindahan ni Bossing), powered by PLDT Global, remain available for users in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE until March 15. Users can access the TinBo platform through Google Play, the Apple App Store or at www.tribo.ph.
Within the Philippines, PLDT Home and Enterprise customers can make free IDD calls to the Gulf States, Israel and Iran until March 15. Smart and TNT subscribers have access to the same service until March 14.
Smart subscribers in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen can call the Smart Crisis Hotline at +632 8845 7799 toll-free for urgent coordination with family in the Philippines.
