0945 What Network? Is it Globe Telecom Network?

If you’ve received a call or text from a number starting with 0945 and wondered, “What network is this?”, you’ve come to the right place. In the Philippines, knowing the network provider is key to saving on load, enjoying promos, and ensuring clear communication. This guide provides a quick and direct answer.

The Short Answer: What Network is 0945?

The mobile number prefix 0945 belongs to Globe Telecom and its affiliate brand, TM (Touch Mobile).

If you are calling or texting a number that starts with 0945, you can be confident that the user is a Globe or TM subscriber. This allows you to use network-specific “unli” call and text promos without worrying about extra charges for contacting another network.

Is 0945 Exclusively for Globe or Also for TM?

While Globe Telecom is the primary network, it shares many of its prefixes with its value brand, TM (formerly known as Touch Mobile), which also operates on the Globe network.

How Globe and TM Share Prefixes

Think of Globe as the parent company and TM as a brand under it. Both operate on the same robust network infrastructure. Because of this, they share a pool of mobile number prefixes, including 0945. So, a 0945 number could be either a Globe Prepaid, Globe Postpaid, or a TM SIM card.

What This Means for Your Calls and Texts

For practical purposes, calls and texts between a Globe number and a TM number are considered “on-net.” This means they are treated as being on the same network, making them eligible for the popular and budget-friendly unlimited call and text promotions offered by both brands.

Why It’s Important to Know a Number’s Network

Identifying a number’s network carrier isn’t just about curiosity; it has practical benefits for your wallet and your time.

• Saving on Load with Promos: Telecom companies in the Philippines offer powerful promotions (“promos”) for calls, texts, and data that are often limited to their own network. Knowing you’re contacting a Globe/TM number lets you maximize these offers.
• Avoiding Inter-Network Charges: If you aren’t subscribed to an all-network promo, calling or texting a different network can be more expensive. Identifying the 0945 prefix helps you avoid these unexpected costs.
• Ensuring Better Signal: While not a major issue in cities, knowing the network can be helpful in rural areas where one provider might have a stronger signal than another.
