The mobile number prefix 0997 or +63997 in the Philippines is primarily associated with Globe Telecom and its subsidiary, Touch Mobile (TM).
However, with the implementation of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) law, subscribers can switch networks without changing their mobile numbers. This means a number starting with the 0997 prefix, originally assigned to Globe or TM, could now belong to a different network if the user has ported their number.
