Okay, I think I spoke too soon. Just got this press release from Globe that they renamed their 3G internet service to Globe Broadband Tattoo.
Globe Broadband Tattoo, formerly known as Globe Visibility, uses a USB stick that works as a modem (more like a re-brand of Globe Visibility). Globe has also upgraded their network so users can get speeds of up to 2 Mbps.
Globe redesigned Globe Broadband Tattoo with some funky designs featuring artworks in black, orange, or blue.
The Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid Kit comes with a free Php100 load that is equivalent to five hours of free internet usage. Users still pay only Php5 per fifteen minutes with multiple connections.
Once users have consumed their free load, reloading the Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid SIM can be loaded like a regular prepaid SIM, whether through Share-A-Load, Globe Load or prepaid call cards.
Users may also opt for a postpaid plan for Globe Broadband Tattoo; there is a range of plans for as low as Php799/month with 60 free mobile internet hours.
Aside from using Globe Broadband Tattoo as a mobile Internet modem, the SIM card inside the USB can also be used for calls and sending text messages at regular cellphone rates. The USB also comes with a built-in expansion slot where users can insert their own microSD card for additional file storage.
The new Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid Kit is sold for only Php1,895.
Abe,
Please refer our Tattoo concern with your friends in Globe.
I was encouraged to purchase tattoo recently here in a mall in Cabanatuan City.
At first, I thought it was just an isolated case whenever I experiencing either being disconnected or having very slow browsing.
It’s very unfair for their customers for this treatment.
I have been a Globe prepaid customers for the last 4 years. So I believe that Globe will consider our concern.
globe tattoo is awful. it’s the slowest I’ve ever seen. even at full strength, five signal bars, the speed fluctuates between 0 kbps and 300 kbps. Nowhere near 2mbps. The 2mbps is a total lie and fraud. I would not recommend it. Even at 0 kbps you still get charged 20p per hour. What a ripoff. Getting charged for the slowest connection I’ve ever seen!
di ko pa nasusubukan ang tattoo.
pero maganda naman ang connection ng smart bro
okay sya
para sakin ang globe tattoo design lang ang maipagmamalaki
ung only problem ko lang ung unang part
dahil di gumana ang modem pero naagapan after one week. tapos, un. wala ng ibang problema ever since
maganda sya as prepaid broadband
Paano pa kaya pag may antenna na?
Eh di sobrang bilis na!
I recommend Smart Bro though..
maganda ang speed nya
walang problem sa pag load at connection

I recently bought Globe Tattoo in the hopes of having an internet on-the-go..
Unfortunately, when I tried it, the broadband is fluctuating and it register 0.00 kbps most of the time..
I hope there are some ways to get my money back..
I’ve been reading this post and find it unfair to compare wired internet connection with USB modems.
For one thing, these USB modems where meant for mobility. I use both Smart Bro and Globe Tattoo simply because i want the option of having a back-up in case one of the service provider is weaker (or stronger) in any given area around the Philippines. I travel around the country frequently because of my work and frankly, Globe Tattoo is mediocre. Even at GPRS speed, Smart Bro is much more stable and reliable.
I think people who sing praises about Globe’s broadband services being awesome doesnt move around the country and mostly live only in Metro Manila and its surrounding provinces.
I honestly dont know why Globe is so slow at increasing the speed, reliability, and coverage of their 3G and 3.5G services.
Lowering their Globe Tattoo USB modems is a bad marketing move in my opinion. Why on god’s good earth would any network provider be stupid enough to want more people to use their internet services when it still sucks in the first place?
Lowered USB modem costs + unreliable connection + weaker coverage = a lot of pissed-off consumers
Globe is digging its own grave.
my sister is a subscriber of tattoo plan 799… actually when ive tride it on my laptop, the connection is fast.. just need to configure some settings when installed.. i disabled the DIBCOM TV TUNER device drive since this drive installed causes lag in your internet speeds (to disable this, if you are using windows OS, just run your PC in safe mode, plug your stick, right click *My Computer* choose *device manager*, then from your *Sound Device Drives*, right click the *DIBCOM TV TUNER*, choose *properties*, and disable the drive)… hope that tweak works.. and i just wanna inform you guys who owns tattoo kits:
>>FAST SPEED IS USUALLY FROM 12mn-11am, WHERE THE FASTEST SPEED IS FROM 3am-5am;
>>SLOW SPEED IS FROM 2pm-4pm, WHERE THE SLOWEST SPEED IS FROM 3:00pm-3:30pm..
…btw, i reside at Taguig City…
hope this post will help… ^_^
