Globe’s Touch Mobile recently launched a new website called RepublikaTM.com. Personally I think this is one of the best mobile sites I’ve seen in a while. The loading time isn’t too long, it’s direct-to-the-point, and they have strong images that grab your attention. The copy is also perfect for the target market. I only have a few recommendations to make but over-all I’m impressed.
Strong imagery and plain but attention-catching copy
The use of graphics in this site is superb. The front flash carnival is helpful and it’s also interesting how they stylized Dingdong Dantes to match the color theme. It actually gives a better emphasis on his character and makes you take notice right away. What I like about the home page as well is that the main banners have call to actions which will tell you where you should click (obvious and in-your-face presentation).
Almost consistent across the site
The use of strong imagery and direct copy is almost consistent in all parts of the site. If you check the screenshot I have above, they do a good job of explaining the products that they’re offering. It won’t take a genius to figure everything out. The lay-out of their promos section is also the same. Well done.
What’s a sub?
My only major critique is something they can easily address. The copy of their FAQ is quite verbose and is in technical language. Since their target market here is C, D, & E, I don’t think they’ll understand a “sub”. Also, it would have been better if they made the mechanics for consumer consumption (taglish, etc.) to make it easier to read.
Another note for improvement would probably be the scaling of the site. In my resolution almost 3/4′s of the site is Dingdong Dantes. Can’t see the tabs at the bottom (unless this is intentional in the design).
Anyway, this is a good example of how you can make a stylized site look good even if you want it to be simple. I can’t say the same for the competitor of TM, Smart Talk N’ Text. Their site is just hideous. As in it hurts me eyes to view their content, lol.

Hi Touch Mobile,
This is not related to the current topics but i just want to report or inquire about the current bugs of TM SIM. Because right now i have 2 friends having a Touch Mobile Simcard, they can make FREE CALLS around the world even if they have NO LOAD. They can even call abroad, anywhere, any phone, any time.
Their Touch Mobile Number was:
0905-964-9288
0906-627-9373
Please kindly fix that BUGs happening to some TM SIMCARDS like those two numbers i posted right now. Because its unfair to everyone using TM SIMs with regular loads. We spend hundreds of thousands of pesos just to call someone around the world through TM SIMs, but the unfair thing was there’s so many BUGs happening to some TM SIMs.
Make a move, be fair to everyone. Hope to hear from you TOUCH MOBILE soon about those two TM numbers i posted.
Concern Citizen,
anne
crab mentality.. jealousy will bring you nowhere.. grow up.. stop pulling other people down.
life is not fair my dear…you see you have thousand of pesos to load but there LOTS of people who do not have celfones because they cannot afford it. now, is that fair? even if you say educated ka and you have a nice job, well its not the fault of people who just don’t have to luck or fortune to have that kind of education. like i said life isn’t fair but a lot of people accepted that fact. you DO NOT. and that is sad…it is not the fault of your friends that they got lucky. INGGIT ka lang.
nag load ako ng 26 kahapon para ma unli call…15 ang mababawas sa 26 eh di 11 nlng nang naka unli call na ako pagkatapos ko na mag cal nag inquire ako ng balance ang bal ko na 11 na wala at ngaun na nmn nag pa load ako ng 15 parra ma unli call ko ang sabi sa confirmation na sorry hindi pa daw ma process yung unli call ko saki daw hindi pa natapos yung registration sa tawag15 pero nakatawag ako at pagkatapos ng tawag ko nag inquire na nmn ako eh, na wala na nmn ung 15 ko hindi pa nga naka abot ng 6am na expire na ang registration..! ano ba tong TM nakakainis…hay gusto ko ma ibalik yung load ko….na sayang yung pera ko dito! buang ning tm yawa jud

Gud day!
Ask ko lang po kung kailan ippadala ni Katz or any other TM girls present during the Astig Fest in Balyuan, Tacloban City the promised points in order to claim the prize that they told us when that concert took place last June 29, 2010. My daughter, Angel Rose Bernados won a Canon Digi Cam A-1040 as confirmed by the TM ladies and subsequently announced on stage by Mr Dingdong Dantes. we have been texting the ladies but keep on telling us that they will send it when they get back to Manila and later after lunch. may we hear from them. thanks

Hi. Hmm ask lang. Bakit ganon ang TM? Laging kinakain load ko. Since nung nag TM ako nung July, hanggang ngayon, pag nagpapaload ako, laging kinakain load ko. Pag tinatawagan naman yung 730-1500, wala naman ako makausap ng matino. Puro tungkol sa Unli, Ringtone, Internet, etc. Siguro umabot na sa 200 o 300 yung nakain sakin. Everytime na magpapaload ako ng 20, wala pang 1minute, wala na kagad yung load ko. Tapos magpapaload na naman ako. Dun lang ako makakapag unli. Haaaay! Sana naman po masolusyonan toh. Nasasayang yung pera ko kakaload. Pati yung mga kaibigan kong TM din, nakakaranas ng ganito sa TM.
