In the Philippines, mobile numbers starting with the prefix 0953 or +63953 are typically associated with Globe Telecom and its subsidiary, Touch Mobile (TM). This means that a number beginning with 0953 is generally serviced by Globe or TM.
However, with the implementation of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) law, subscribers can now switch networks without changing their mobile numbers. As a result, while the 0953 prefix originally indicates a Globe or TM number, the current service provider may differ if the user has opted to port their number to another network.
