Globe MyFi Price Drop

Listen to article

Instagram now lets users reorder their posts on their profile iOS 27 Adds Native Baybayin Keyboard to iPhone: Here is How to Enable It AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026

So this was the surprise promo that Globe reps told me the day they talked to us about the MyFi and they really did good with their promise. A reader tipped us that Globe has dropped their MyFi devices by almost 50% off!

For Globe MyFi PostPaid accounts, it’s down from Php250/month to:

Php149/month on Plan 499
Php99/month on Plan 999

For Prepaid accounts, it is now down to Php4,000 one-time from Php7,000 previously.

Looks like Globe has finally decided to subsidize the units to push sales of these units. See more about Globe MyFi here.

Hat tip to Danny Ching!

i just subscribed to globe myfi and im using it for my laptop and sony xperia but the wifi connection is not stable.it always disconnects in so very often and sometimes wifi connection lasts only in a matter of seconds.its better to use it on my laptop via usb.wifi is not stable.is there any resolution to this issue?

arj · 15 years ago

I’m using sun myfi and it’s fast.ecxept that this is applicable to strong signal areas that’s why i want this to be openline for other sim cards

jo · 15 years ago

knivesgundam · 15 years ago

babayadan mo yung myfi sa retailer ng 499 at monthly mong babayadan ng 149? ganon ba yun?

hindi na ba kailangan loadan yan?

Michael · 15 years ago

nope no fair use policy on postpaid, Globe loves their postpaid subscribers…

Sanctuarian06 · 15 years ago

Is this under Globe fair use policy?

vince · 15 years ago

afaik, 5000-6000 ang equivalent device na unlocked sa pc options

alsor · 16 years ago

Actually ginaya lang ng Globe presyo ng Smart. Smart plan P499. plus 150/mo for 24 mos. on 50 hrs load. May bonus ka pa na 5 hrs/mo pag paid on time.ZTE ang unit nila.

paolo · 16 years ago

did globe extend the promo?

iver · 16 years ago

and last question:does your myfi have an extra battery?how mcuh time can i use your battery?or do you sell extra battery/ies?how much?is it better than the stock?

iver · 16 years ago

iver · 16 years ago

iver · 16 years ago

i want that myfirouter but i need an open line.is it possible?

islacom · 16 years ago

Huawei E5830 open-line, we have already tested and configured for the 3 local cellular network providers in the Philippines. We also sell units.
easy to setup with passkey likema regular Wifi HotSpot Router.
Stress Test Battery from 3-5hours, differs from how many devices are connected.
Small and portable!!!

daya ng globe bigla silang naglabas ng FAQ bago ako magreklamo na naipit yung plan ko nagapply ako sept. 14 @250.00 per month (24 months = 6,000.00) tapos nilaunch nila yung bago sept. 16 @99.00 (24 months = 2,376.00 Only) ang laki ng lugi ko tapos yung lumabas nilang FAQ ngayon lang hindi daw pwede imigrate yung plan ko kahit ilang days lang lumipas….paghindi nila ginawan ng paraan yung plan ko mapipilitan na kong magpatulong sa pinsan ko na editor ng inquirer and lalapit na ko sa DTI

GEO · 16 years ago

kainis naman pwede kaya pababaan yung plan ko nakapagavail kasi ako ng plan nila 2 days before nila babaan yung price from 250/month to 99/month ang daya naman kung hindi pwede grrr

Peejhay · 16 years ago

totoo pla.. kala ko joke lang ng globe yan haha

http://site.globe.com.ph/features/myfi_price_drop?sid=TJOLk8uxpRYAAAWOS@sAAAAMe

pero gsto ko pa rin ung e585 kasi unlocked

Peejhay · 16 years ago

@santi: mas ok ung Huawei e585 kasi ung LED Screen nya.. tpos longer battery pa

may mga nagbebenta na ng E585 mga 6000-7500.. at sempre UNLOCKED un so any sim cards (sun,globe,smart)

yan kasi for sure globe-locked yan..

GensanBoy · 16 years ago

Wow, I hope this is available here in my place, ive been wanting to get one but the price isrestrictive. . ngayon medyo affordable na.

thomas · 16 years ago

Laki siguro ng subsidy ng Globe sa bawat isa nito…i think they buy it at around 5-6k each from their supplier e. Given that Smart and Sun don’t have anything like this naman, i think super swerte natin they even did this. Hehehe. Its my lucky day!

maruko · 16 years ago

Wow, at only an additional P99 a month, the MyFi device is a STEAL!!!!!

Hats off to Globe for always offering the best deals and the most innovative products!! Cant wait to get myself oneeee thanks for the tip!!

frenchy · 16 years ago

Sabi na nga ba bababa rin price nito. Baka before Christmas mas bababa pa lalo na yung sa prepaid. :)

Cisco · 16 years ago

As to the prepaid myfi, does it mean we can use any sim (other than globe)?

Guy · 16 years ago

wow very affordable…

HP Q6000A laser toner · 16 years ago

noob here…

for the prepaid MyFi, is it same like Globe Tatoo when it comes to reloading but just faster speeds?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@santi @dante @mike – wrote about it here — http://www.yugatech.com/blog/telecoms/globe-myfi-10-things-you-need-to-know/

mike · 16 years ago

I may just wait for Sun cellular to release its own wireless 3G dongle like this, most probably before christmas.

mike · 16 years ago

hi abe thanks for the reply. Can you give more thorough review of the globe myfi in your blog.

need to know the following

1) hows the speed in speedtest.net?
2) hows the latency
3) how easy it is to connect
4) how stable is the connection (does it always get disconnected?)
5) battery life during wifi mode (not connected)

I tried globe wimax before and it was much much slower than the plan that I get (50% slower). Also it takes too long to connect (around 2 minutes to reconnect). And the connection was not stable. So I returned the product.

Dante Noe Raquel II · 16 years ago

@Erin Thanks for answering my Que!

Erin · 16 years ago

@dante: usually how it works is that the add-on persists for the whole contract duration or hanggang mabayaran yung subsidized price ng equipment. So the 499/mo plan becomes 648/mo. i am guessing two years ang contract?

santi · 16 years ago

kuya Abe, this is Huawei-e5830 tama ba? does globe offer the Huawei-e585? which of the two is better?? – thanks po :p

cris · 16 years ago

how about the speed? coz i heard that globe service is poor, except wimax service.

pearl · 16 years ago

@jay…you dreamt about it…i wished naman for a 50% off…wish come true for me…haha…4k for prepaid…mahal pa rin…i wish for another drop…hehe…i’ll be needing this lang naman if i’m somewhere with no wifi, eh…kaya i wish…i wish…i wish… :D
