How to Check TM Number Validity / Expiry

TM prepaid SIM cards have a validity period. If no load or promo is added within the validity window, the number can be deactivated and eventually recycled.

Check via *143#

1. Dial *143#
2. Select My Account
3. Select SIM Validity or Account Details
4. Your SIM expiry date displays on screen

Keep Your Number Active in 2026

To prevent your TM number from expiring, do any of the following at least once within the validity period:

• Load any amount of prepaid credit
• Subscribe to any promo
• Make a call or send a text
• Use mobile data

💡 Even loading ₱1 resets the validity clock on most TM prepaid accounts. Regular GlobeOne app activity also counts toward keeping the account active in 2026.

Check via GlobeOne App

What to Do If Your TM SIM Is Not Registered in 2026

If your status check shows your SIM is unregistered, act immediately. Unregistered SIMs in the Philippines face permanent deactivation under RA 11934.

Option 1 — Register Online (Fastest)

1. Visit simreg.globe.com.ph on any device
2. Enter your TM number and follow the step-by-step process
3. Prepare: valid government ID, selfie, and your personal details
4. Takes 5–10 minutes

Option 2 — Register via GlobeOne App

1. Open GlobeOne
2. Tap Register Your SIM on the home screen
3. Follow the guided registration steps

Option 3 — Visit a Globe Store

• Bring your TM SIM and a valid government ID to any Globe or TM Store. Staff will complete the registration for you in 15–30 minutes.

What to Do If Your TM SIM Was Deactivated

If your SIM was deactivated due to non-registration or extended inactivity, here is what to do in 2026:

1. Visit a Globe Store with your valid government ID
2. Explain that your TM SIM was deactivated
3. Ask about SIM reactivation or SIM replacement
4. If the number is recoverable, staff will link it to your verified ID and reactivate it
5. If the number has been recycled, you will need a new SIM and a new registration

⚠️ Load balance on a deactivated SIM may not be recoverable. Act quickly — the sooner you visit a store after deactivation, the better the chances of saving your number.

Common Questions

Is checking my TM number or balance free?

Yes. All check codes listed in this guide — *2#, *143#, texting BAL to 222, texting SIMREG to 8080 — are completely free. No load is deducted.

Why is my TM balance showing zero when I just loaded?

Load sometimes takes 1–5 minutes to reflect after a transaction. Pull down to refresh on the GlobeOne app or wait a few minutes and check again via *143#. If the balance still does not appear after 10 minutes, call 8080.

Can I check my TM number without a signal?

No. You need at least a basic network signal to use any dial or text method. If you have no signal at all, check the SIM card packaging or the GlobeOne app via Wi-Fi instead.

What if *2# does not work on my phone?

Some phone models do not support flash USSD codes like *2#. Use *143# → My Account → My Number instead, or open the GlobeOne app to see your number on the dashboard.

How do I know if my promo data is all used up?

Text DATABAL to 8080 for an instant reply. If the reply shows 0MB remaining or says no active data promo, subscribe to a new promo immediately to avoid pay-per-use charges on your load balance.

My SIM registration status says pending — is my SIM working?

Yes. A pending status means your registration was submitted and is being processed by Globe. Your SIM remains active during this period. The process typically takes 24–48 hours. Check again after that window using SIMREG to 8080.

How long does a TM number stay active without use in 2026?

TM prepaid SIM validity varies by the last transaction type and load amount. As a general rule, loading or using your SIM at least once every 60–90 days keeps the number active. Check your exact validity via *143# → My Account.
