Christmas Store Tracker

You can now easily find a store for your Christmas shopping, with the help of Globe and your cell phone.

Simply send the following sms text to 7000 (for Globe subscribers):

FIND [name of shop]

For example: FIND NIKE

After you send that message via sms text to 7000, you'll receive a list of nearby stores. This means Globe will use your cell phone's location, and will adjust its data. How's that for geo-targeting! Of course, that convenience comes with a price: P5.00/text

What if you're in Laguna, but are on your way to Makati? How can you start looking for Nike stores in Makati while you're still stuck in traffic in Laguna?

Here's the code: FIND [name of shop] IN [place]

For example: FIND NIKE IN MAKATI

Again, send the above sms text to 7000. Since the above command does not require Globe to track your current location, the cost is only P2.50/text. If you need more info, please text TRACKER to 7000.

Have fun searching for nearby Christmas shopping stores with your cell phone!
