In a statement on Tuesday, Aug. 9, Globe claimed the penalties were brought about by fraudulent calls placed through DITO's network to Globe, bypassing proper voice traffic channels.
The interconnection agreement covers domestic mobile calls and SMS enabling Globe’s customers to make mobile calls, send SMS with Dito Telecommunity's customers without additional charges.
PLDT and DITO have entered into an agreement for the construction of a transmission facility that will serve as the point of interconnection for their subscribers.
Sen. Panfilo Lacson introduced an amendment to Senate Bill 1636, the proposed Lifetime Cellphone Number Act, seeking to remove the interconnectivity fee or charge imposed by telcos on mobile phone subscribers for domestic calls and SMS (text) messages.
