Here’s an interesting service from Globe: G-Webcall.com
Call any Globe or TM phone using a computer outside the Philippines for only P7.50 per minute.
G-Webcall accounts are open to Globe post-paid subscribers. G-Webcall users can place calls from a computer to any Globe/TM phone anywhere in the world. G-Webcall uses Voice Over IP (VOIP).
An OFW can avail of this service by asking a relative, say Tito Boy, with Globe post-paid accounts to register G-Webcall.com . Use Tito Boy’s G-Webcall account to place calls from a computer in a foreign country. The call charges (P7.50 per minute) will be reflected in Tito Boy’s Globe post-paid account. It’s up to the OFW to settle the phone bill with Tito Boy through remittance services.
Not bad considering that normal IDD rates are usually around USD 0.20 (around Php11) per minute.

[...] Ideal for: Jetsetters with a computer abroad, calling the Philippines. With some creativity, it could work for OFWs calling home too. [...]
Why make such thing as prepaid card so OFW can skip tito Boy example. Most OFW have prepaid card for their roaming celphones for globe. Why not make use of this loading card to load G-webcall. In that way OFW can make use of G-webcall if its cheaper.
Godbless!
Currently, this service is designed for Filipinos based in the Philippines who travel abroad. Thus, they need to register their Globe post-paid phone with the G-Webcall service.
Most OFWs do not have a Globe post-paid phone. Thus, they’ll need to get the help of a Tito Boy who HAS a Globe post-paid phone.
The pre-paid card idea is interesting though. That’s something globe should consider.
very nice blog
I’ve been trying out the G-webcall service and so far, it’s been a hit and miss. Lately it’s been difficult to get a call through and calls are very choppy.
From the user interface it seems this service is still on trial mode. The voice prompt is not even professionally done yet. Hopefully, Globe can improve on this service because it can be very useful for their post paid subscribers.
GOOD NEWS FOR OUR BELOVED OFW OUT THERE…
