Globe Scam Protect With Whoscall: Free Protection Guide
If you use a Globe or TM SIM, you know the pattern. A strange number calls. A message says you won a prize. A link looks almost like a bank page. You pause, unsure whether to answer, tap, or delete. That is where Globe Scam Protect with Whoscall is meant to help.
Announced between October 5 and 8, 2026, Globe Scam Protect is a partnership between Globe and Whoscall. It gives eligible customers access to Whoscall Premium Basic, which flags suspicious calls and messages. It works best with a registered SIM and one rule: never share OTPs or passwords with anyone who contacts you first.
What Is Globe Scam Protect With Whoscall?
Globe Scam Protect is Globe’s scam-screening offer built on Whoscall. Whoscall keeps a database of numbers reported as spam, scam, or telemarketing. When a call or message arrives, it compares the number and, where supported, the content pattern against that database and warns you if it looks risky.
The version in this offer is Whoscall Premium Basic. You get context before you decide: a warning that a number was flagged, or a chance to check a link before tapping. Scams use urgency to make you act before you think. A screening tool slows that moment down. It can warn you, but it cannot decide for you.
Who Gets Scam Protect for Free?
Eligibility depends on your account type.
Platinum and Postpaid customers can get 12 months free. That is a full year of Whoscall Premium Basic at no extra charge under this offer.
Prepaid and TM customers can get 1 month free for 2 Rewards points. You redeem it through the GlobeOne app using your Rewards points.
You do not need a new SIM. You need an active account, the GlobeOne app, and enough Rewards points for the prepaid/TM version. Your SIM should already be registered.
How to Activate in the GlobeOne App
Activation happens inside the GlobeOne app, not through a link sent by text. Never activate through a link in an unsolicited message.
- Open the GlobeOne app and log in. Use the official app from your phone’s official app store.
- Check Rewards if you are on Prepaid/TM. You need 2 Rewards points for the 1-month offer.
- Find the Scam Protect offer in Rewards or promotions.
- Select the correct offer for your account type and read the details.
- Confirm. For Prepaid/TM, confirm 2 Rewards points. For Postpaid/Platinum, confirm free activation.
- Follow setup prompts to link Whoscall and allow permissions in the official flow.
- Allow caller ID display so warnings appear for incoming calls.
If the offer does not appear, update the app and check you are logged into the correct number. If needed, call 211. Do not trust a third-party page that asks for your OTP.
What Scam Protect Actually Does
Detects suspicious calls and messages. When a call comes from a number reported as spam or scam, you get a warning. The same applies to messages that match known scam patterns. This helps most with calls you would otherwise answer out of habit.
Verifies links. Many scams rely on links. A message may say your parcel is stuck or your account needs updating. Whoscall can help check whether a link looks suspicious. If it is flagged, do not open it. Go directly to the official app or website by typing the address yourself.
Checks for data leaks. The service can check whether your information appears in known data leak sources. It cannot remove your data from the internet. It gives you a signal that your details may have been exposed, so you can change passwords and be more cautious.
Sends scam alerts. You can receive alerts about new scam patterns. This is useful because scams change quickly. Alerts help you recognize a new tactic faster, especially if it is circulating widely.
What Scam Protect Does NOT Do
It does not block every scam, and it does not make you immune to fraud.
First, it does not guarantee that an unflagged number is safe. A new scam number that has not yet been reported may not be flagged. Treat unknown callers with caution, even if no warning appears.
Second, it does not verify that a caller who claims to be from a bank is truly who they say they are. If someone asks for money or codes, hang up and contact the organization directly.
Third, it does not protect you if you share your OTP or password. Never share your OTP with anyone.
Fourth, it does not fix registration issues. You need both a correctly registered SIM and careful habits.
How It Relates to Your Registered SIM
Registration under Republic Act No. 11934 links your SIM to verified identity details. It lets Globe know who owns a number and helps authorities trace numbers used for scams. When you register correctly, you protect your number from deactivation and make it harder for scammers to use anonymous SIMs at scale.
Scam Protect protects you as the receiver. It helps you spot suspicious incoming calls and messages, even when those messages come from numbers that were registered with fake details or misused after registration.
Registration reduces anonymous scam SIMs. Scam Protect reduces the chance you will engage with scams that still get through. New SIMs must be registered before activation. There is no fixed deadline for new SIMs in 2026 as a single cutoff, but you cannot use a new SIM until it is registered. Tourist SIMs are valid for 30 days. Use only the official portal at new.globe.com.ph/simreg or the GlobeOne app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Globe Scam Protect really free?
For eligible users, yes, for the stated period. Platinum and Postpaid get 12 months free. Prepaid and TM get 1 month free for 2 Rewards points via the GlobeOne app. Check the offer details inside GlobeOne for your account type.
Do I need a new SIM to use it?
No. You need an active Globe or TM SIM and access to the GlobeOne app. Your SIM should already be registered. If it is not, register it first on the official portal.
Will it block all scam calls?
No. It warns about flagged numbers and messages, verifies links, checks for data leaks, and sends alerts. It cannot catch every new scam number, and it cannot protect you if you share your OTP. Use it as one layer, not a guarantee.
What if I already tapped a scam link?
Do not enter more details. Close the page. Change the password for any account you may have exposed, turn on extra verification, and monitor your accounts. Report the message through the Stop Spam portal. If you shared banking details, contact your bank directly through its official number.
Conclusion
Globe Scam Protect with Whoscall is a useful, low-effort step for Globe and TM users who want extra warning before they answer an unknown call or tap a link. The free periods make it easy to try: 12 months free for Platinum and Postpaid, and 1 month free for 2 Rewards points for Prepaid and TM, both through the GlobeOne app.
It is not a substitute for registration or careful habits. Register your SIM correctly, never share your OTP, verify links by typing the official address yourself, and report scams when you receive them.
