Globe’s Samsung Galaxy S6 is Both-SIM Slots Locked

You can only use Globe SIM cards on the dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S6 from Globe.
That’s a fact. And it’s unfortunate. It’s a business decision that selfishly curtail the way consumers can use the phone.

Though, the unit from Globe is subsidized by the telco but it won’t make Globe poorer if it opens the second SIM-card slot. Other network like Sun Cellular is not locking both SIM cards slots in their  phone offering.

Here are my arguments why Globe should open the second SIM card slot:

1. Competitors like Sun Cellular network has been allowing the second SIM-card slot on its phone offering to be used for SIM cards from other network;
2. Samsung purposely bring the Dual-SIM version of S6 in the Philippines because Filipino consumers love to use dual-SIM slots for the purpose of maintaining two phone subscriptions in one phone;
3. It won’t make Globe poorer since the second SIM-card slot is inferior in features than the SIM1-card slot. The S6’s SIM1 is LTE-capable while the SIM2 slot is only HSPA; and
4. Logically and intelligently, you don’t carry a dual-SIM phone with two Globe numbers.

Globe can still reconsider its policy and allow more subscribers to access to the S6 through its various postpaid plans.
