How to retrieve your lost Globe mobile number? Here’s how
Nearly two weeks ago, I lost my 16-month old mobile phone inside the cab. I was with my mom and we’re already homebound. I only noticed that my phone is missing when we got home. I was seated beside the driver’s seat and I reckon that any of these two scenarios happened:
1) I put the phone in my lap and forgot to put it back to my pocket.
2) I didn’t notice it slip out of my pocket.
Because of my negligence and the driver’s apparent dishonesty (I have a strong reason to believe that he saw my phone), my beloved phone is gone forever. Losing a phone is not really a problem (unless it is an IPhone, LOL).
Asking for everyone’s numbers is challenging (especially if you have not saved those anywhere else). Then, you have to disseminate to your circle of friends and colleagues your new number. Very time consuming, right? Globe subscribers need not worry about this problem anymore. Let me detail out how you can solve your predicament:
1) Find out where the nearest Globe Business Center (GBC) is. For Quezon City residents, there’s one in UP Ayala Technohub (where I went), TriNoMa, and in Gateway Mall. Check this listing if you are living in Metro Manila. You may also call Globe hotline 730-1000.
2) Make sure to bring at least one valid ID
3) You no longer need to submit a duly notarized Affidavit of Loss IF you can remember at least two numbers you dialed using your lost SIM. Luckily, I was able to list three. A lady GBC personnel provided me with an Affidavit of Loss template. I only had to write the specific details of how my phone got lost.
3.1) If you are not sure if you still remember the phone numbers you called using your lost SIM, go to a lawyer and prepare an Affidavit of Loss. Provide the following details:
a. Your mobile number
b. The month and year when you began using the said SIM
c. The circumstances leading to the phone’s loss
4) The attending GBC personnel, upon confirmation of the numbers you listed, will then insert on your phone a newly reconfigured SIM whose number now matches your lost one. Allow 30 minutes to one hour before you can begin reusing your number.
Going to a GBC during your lunch break is not advisable. Make sure to allot two hours for this. Although the process of retrieving your old number takes time in itself, remember that you have to fall in line first. 🙂
UPDATE 12/5/2015 – Unfortunately, I lost my phone FOUR MORE TIMES after writing this post with the latest one, just yesterday.
Yesterday, I went to GBC-Technohub again and to their credit, they were able to replace my lost SIM again. I’d like to make some notes from my latest experience:
- I was asked to have a duly-notarized affidavit of loss (I had to pay P60).
- They asked me to provide a number that I called or texted on the day the phone was lost.
- I still had to pay P40 for the SIM replacement
- There’s no more waiting time for the SIM to be activated

Salamat po for reading. But hey, I don;t want you to experience this. 🙂
Is this applicable to prepaid sim card holders?
I am a prepaid SIM card holder. 🙂
help nmn po pls nawla ang sim card ko pls help me to retain my no at di magamit ng iba ..
sa isang business center ka lang nagpunta? naka-tatlong gbc na ako. wala daw lahat stock nung sim ko na nawala.
Ang pangit naman ng nangyari sa iyo. Sa isa lang ako nagpunta.
Hello im foreigner in philippines so i lost my mobile phone but im sure my sim card is still inside the phone. so how if i dont use that mobile phone for calling for 2 months cause of Blackberry Messenger Feature so i just use for bbm my family and my friends. any idea to help me cause i just lost my phone last night.
Magkano po ang charge para dun sa bagong sim na ipapalit? Thank you po. 🙂
Wala kang babayaran at all. 🙂
weh bakit ako 40 php singil pwera pa ung affidavit of loss worth 250 php tapos nakaka 8 store na ko wala pa din hay aksaya pera pagod pasahe
Sarah, that’s sad to know. E sa Technohub, wala talagang siningil at all.
Naka limang GBC na ako nakapunta puro walang stock ng sim. 🙁
Ay naku. Puro lang sila salita pala.
kakabuset nuh ako 8 turning nine mamaya ewan ko na lng ha
ako nga eh 8 GBC na nga nga kainis lng nasstress lalo ako
anong branches na pinuntahan nyo? need raw ng “10” ang akin.
Thanks!
What do you mean by “need ng 10”?
paid 50php for the new sim, no need to get affidavit, u just need to present a valid id. that’s it! in 2hours ur sim will be activate (ofcourse with the same number)
san ka nagpay ng 50php ?? san branch?? nwla kc ung prepaid sim card ko.. un ung nklagay sa accoun q sa gmail para maopen q ul8 xa.. pls help
Old number mo parin po binigay sa’yo or bago na? Yung sim card ko kasi bigla na lang parang na deactivate pero siya ginagamit ko lagi. Hassle kasi pag nagbago pa ko ng number. Pero sim ko since 2008 pa. 🙁
Sakin walang siningil pero sa officemate ko siningil sya ng 50 pesos same branch lang kami ng pinuntahan. tatanungin ka nila kung gano na katagal sayo yung sim and dun nila i babased kung free or magbabayad ka pa. one more thing pala, kung may load yung sim mo na nawala, andun pa din yun sa new sim na gagawin nila.
How much po yun bayad if ever pagawa ka? 🙂
It depends kung saan ka magpapagawa. Kung sa Recto, you can have an affidavit of loss for just around P100. 🙂
i just retrieved my number with a new sim, ok lang ba na when you put the new sim , it will say ‘sim card registration failed’? how long will you wait? thankyou
you’ll wait within 2hrs lang.. always check lang if activated na yung sim..
@@jerquerimit – talaga? 2hrs lang iintayin? So di na need bumalik sa GBC to get that fix or.. call 801? Thanks 🙂

I lost my phone yesterday and guess what? it’s a fucking iPhone! I know I’m an idiot. Anyways, this is the first thing I did, well besides change my FB and YM password. I searched on how to retrieve lost glb numbers. Your blog is the most helpful so thank you! Your my savior! 😀

Hey guys.. I lost my number yesterday (apr. 4, 13) and was able to retrieve it today (apr. 5, 13). I went to Globe Business Centre (GBC) – ‘Techno Hub’.
My advice is DON’T go to GBC braches that are located inside malls’.
At Techno Hub.
1) They asked for my ID.
2) Filed-up a form about declaring that I did in fact lost my number.
3) Paid 40 pesos for the new temporary-sim they will give you because your new sim [with your previous number] will not be activated for at least 24 hrs.
* No Affidavit of Loss needed.
* No 2 contacts you dialed were needed.
That’s it. The staffs there were accommodating and friendly also, unlike those at Gateway and Alimall.
new temporary-sim?ndi n b ttnungin kung anung serial no. ng sim mo?kasi mukang naiwala ko na ata ung akin,..anong contact no./landline ng GBC technohub?thanks
Is this applicable with damaged sim cards? Bigla na lang kasing hindi makasagap ng signal sa kahit anong phone. Mahigit limang taon ko na ‘tong number. Thanks. 😀
I think pwede naman yan. You can try. 🙂
Hiya! I just would like to give an enormous thumbs up for
the great information you’ve here on this post.
I can be coming back to your weblog for extra soon.
Offer anything considerably more specific?
?? As for instance, critiques or perhaps posts with regards to colorful makeup eyeshadow.
Could I sign up for your content? 🙂
Hello! I want to thank your for your very reliable blog post. 🙂 i was able to retrieve my old number. I just showed a valid id and the card where my sim was attached. I paid 30 pesos for the new sim 😉 btw, i am a TM prepaid consumer. :))
That is heart warming. I am extremely happy to be of help to you. 🙂

Impressive publications and type of article writing.
I think I’ll come back here later to see what exactly else you really have available! 😉 I’m really going to view if
I may possibly find something relevant to vizio led
tv price!!
Ano ba yan bkt iba iba ang price, report kaya natin yan sa NTC, me mahal, tapos mura. Im planning to replace my sim also in gateway. let see if they’ll gonna ask me for fee.
Hello! This is a very helpful blog. I never thought a cellphone number could be retrieved and transferred to a new SIM. My phone was stolen last Friday (October 18, 2013) so I searched the net for possible solutions and I found this blog. Went to Globe Business Center in Podium (Ortigas). I just showed my valid ID, the old card where the SIM was attached and paid 40 pesos. Fast and easy. 🙂
By the way, it’s a Prepaid SIM card that I lost together with my phone. Great diba? 🙂
Malvin, imposible namang SIM lang yung manakaw. Heheh :p
@Mark Madrona: Was emphasizing on the “Prepaid SIM” as some might think it’s a Postpaid SIM. People usually think na if they lost a Prepaid SIM they won’t able to retrieve the number anymore. 🙂
Hi May I Ask kng sang branch mganda pmunta dun sa nwalang mong sim?? sa megamall ba sure na meron?
Hello, thіs weekend is pleaswnt for me, fоr the rwason that this point

i also lost my cp. And want to retrieve my number. but what if i already lost the sim pack. is that really matter?
In some cases, it does. It depends on the service center you will go to.
I am extremely inspired along with your writing talents and also with the layout in your blog.
Is that this a paid subject matter or did you customize it yourself?
Either way stay up the excellent high quality writing,
it’s uncommon to peer a great weblog like this one today..
Thanks for this post… I got my phone stolen Monday afternoon in MRT GMA Station. Hope I can have my number back by tomorrow…
Neco, sorry to hear that. Be careful next time. Anyway, I suggest you visit their business centers in Cubao.
Pano po kung postpaid user?? need padin ba ng affidavit of loss?
Kathryn, I’m not sure about the process for postpaid subscribers.
Hi Thanks sa post.. I lost my phone today at 7pm… Sana maactivate ko bukas! Nakakalungkot pla mawalan ng cellphone :'(
Tama nga ung comments d2, di din agad agad mukukuha ung sim, naka 7 GBC n ako,, wla daw sila stock,.. dapat alam ng globe kung san store merong stock para dun n tayo dumeretso grabe need q pa yatang libutin buong luzon just to reactivate my sim card..:(
i went to sm mall of asia globe business center until now my new sim no network service ..sabi nila 2 hours daw madedeactivate..
Hi Mark,
Ask ko lang, same procedure ba if laging sim registration failed? nwalan n ng signal ung sim card ko, n try ko n sya ilipat sa ibat ibang phone peru puro failed. Hirap kasi mag palit ng number lalu na at almost 7 years ko na sya ginagamit
Thanks
Wala pa kasi akong experience sa ganyan, pero palagay ko naman madali nang mapalitan yan kung sakali, Puto.
Thanks! di ko ksi nagamit ng 3months hehe pg gmit ko wala na signal. Sana pede pa to. nirerecycle dw pag di na ngamit eh. Thanks by the way sa Blog mo!
tangina lahat ng pinuntahan ko na GBC
walang stock ng simcard na ipapareplace ko?
parang lokohan lang
I went to SM San Lazaro to retrieve the sim card with my previous number. But they are asking for an affidavit of loss.. 🙁 please help.. I’m planning to go to SM megamall but quite afraid that they would ask me again for the affidavit of loss. Sobrang hassle at mahal ang pagpapaggawa ng affidavit.
What i do not realize is if truth be told how you are now not
actually a lot more well-preferred than you may be right
now. You’re so intelligent. You know therefore considerably when it comes
to this subject, produced me individually believe it from a
lot of numerous angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved except it is something to accomplish with Lady gaga!
Your individual stuffs great. Always care for it up!
Hi! I would like to ask if this is also applicable with touch mobile numbers? 🙂 please. I really need your help
Yep it is applicable to touch mobile numbers. 🙂
What’s Going down i am new to this, I stumbled upon this I
have discovered It absolutely useful and it has aided me out loads.
I am hoping to contribute & help other users like its helped me.
Great job.
try nyo po sa robinson galleria. naka avail agad ako ng sim. very fast transaction at wlang bayad.. just filled up lng ng affidavit of loss and 24hrs activation. 🙂
Haaay, nagpa sim replacement aq, pero hanggang ngaun di parin naactivate sim ko, more than 24 hrs na .. Palaging “sim card registration failed”.. Sabi nila after 2 hrs daw okay na.. Oh well, mgwait nlng aq..
Hi! Lost mine last week. I just need my sim to be replaced but unfortunately no stock available here in our area for a 0917 module. Would like to ask if in Metro Manila meron po kaya. Btw, I’m from Pampanga. Thanks. I feel so hopeless right now.
Hi sir,
Magpapareplace din ako sana ako ng sim…natry ko na sa Globe store sa Sta. Lucia East, Robinsons Metro East, SM Marikina, Globe store sa may tower one…lahat wala daw stock…
Saang branch po ba ng globe may stock ng sim? I’m from Cainta po
Thanks.
Thank you mark for sharing this i was able to have my old prepaid sim replaced at globe eastwood mall, i just had to wait for about 2 hours though because of the qeueue, my old prepaid starts with 0917 and i think it helped that i had a load tipid plan before,
I hope you guys get yours replaced as well, good luck,
Hello. Is this applicable to Touch Mobile simcard? Thank you
I think so!
Hi! I have a question, will they be able to deactivate the old sim?
Do you think available din to sa TM users? thanks in advance and Happy New Year! 🙂
Yow bro kaylangan legal age ba? kasi nawawala saakin eh
Hi. Sana mabasa mo pa to. Huhu galing nakong sm north, san lazaro at trinoma, dun ba sa up technohub sure na kayang meron? Sobrang umasa kasi ako at napagod ngayong araw. Wala naman pala silang stock. 🙁 anyways. Salamat 🙂
Depende kasi sa series number ng SIMs. Yung mga 0905 etc, yun yata ang medyo bihira na.
How about 0975? (TM) Nakakainis kasi yung mga toxic na tao, dapat pinuputol ang daliri ng mga snatcher ee T.T
Namaste Mark Madrona, my smart sim for almost 3 years was damaged. Could it be possible to be replace? Also i t had a balance load and link to my bank accounts.
