Coverage – TM Philippines
TM is a Globe Telecommunications Philippines sub-brand, meaning TM uses the Globe Telecommunications Philippines network and does not have its own mobile infrastructure.
To find out what to expect in terms of coverage with TM, jump to the Globe Telecommunications Philippines Coverage section in my Philippines SIM card buying guide.
SIM Card Price – TM Philippines
You can get a TM SIM card for 30 PHP with 400 MB/day (6 GB) for FunAliw apps (Facebook, Mobile Legends, TikTok, WeSing & YouTube), 30 local minutes & unlimited SMS for 15 days from TM resellers, such as grocery stores, gas stations & convenience stores (but not in Globe stores). TM SIM cards are not sold at airports, such as Manila – Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA/MNL).

TM has no eSIMs.
You can consider getting a travel eSIM for the Philippines, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from TM.
Especially if you get an Asia eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported Asian countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).
In my Philippines eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Alpas Mobile (Philippines only), Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code NEWTOAIRALO15 (15% off – first-time users only) or AIRALOESIM10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Philippines – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Philippines & Asia (11 countries) – include unlimited data – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Philippines, APAC (15 or 20 countries, depending on the variant), SEA-Oceania (eight countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
Once again, check out my Philippines eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.
For now, I will continue with TM.
Be aware that there is no VoLTE or VoWiFi with TM.
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – TM Philippines

You can also tell the salesperson how much credit you want, your phone number, pay, and they will top up your SIM card with the POS system.
Dial *143# to check your TM balance.
You can also top up and check your balance on the GlobeOne app (Android/iOS) – that is not a mistake on my end.
