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.
BULLSHIT
uu nga mabilis kaya lng mabilis rin mawala ang signal….hehehehehe
mother ko nagpakabit ng smart broadband. ok lang sa umpisa pero hindi pa rin ako satisfied sa speed. kaya nagpakabit ako ng globe broadband. na surprise ako at nainis kasi mas mabagal sa smart. kainis talaga mga broadband. kahit anong sabihin nila, mabagal talaga sila.
ito pa man nakakainis. bumili ung pamangkin ko ng globe tatoo, kung dun sa broadband nila eh naglalakad sa bagal, ito naman, naglalakad ng alang paa sa bagal.
wag sana kayong magagalit sa sinabi ko. experience ko po ito.
note: 100 meters away lang kami sa cell site tower ng globe. kainis talaga!!!!
To Globe telecom:
Bka namn pde nio ayusin ung signal d2 sa malate area… sobrang bagal tlga.. full signal nga bagal naman.. I just hope na you do something about it rather than advertising and claiming your the fastest wireless broadband internert… dont think so.

I tried using Globe Tattoo. I’m staying here at Marilao, Bulacan and we’re not that far from Metro Manila. Globe Tattoo’s speed sucks here. I wish they would improve their service especially for those living outside the Metro Manila area. I always go on out of town trips and I usually bring my laptop with me. ‘Haven’t tried Globe Tattoo in Pangasinan but I doubt it if they have a signal there.
Saan po ba makikita ang Tagum City Hot spot
Sana maging per minute na ang charging ng globe tattoo.
@Lyong_Min,
C# gamit ko bro. mas advance kasi. there’s a native language ang c# in manipulating modems. any modem basta meron txt. pwd rin gamitin mo yn phone mo na may modem features.
hayz tattooo super sa kahinaan ng connection kahit full ang signal naka HSDPA pa dito sa maasin city, southern leyte, very good tlga ang globe im writing this comment 1:43am ngayun lng ako nakaconnect since 10pm weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee very good, naloko pa ako lechogas ang globe
@john alfred
San ka nakakuha ng SDK? Anong Programming Language pwede gamitin? Pwede ba VB6? O VB .NET.
Does this also be used on other Wireless Broadband like SUN and Smart?
tang ina..53kb/s ang signal ng globe tattoo d2 sa abra..
i just bought a globe tattoo prepaid kit last night and its very slow. pwede kya makapagfarmville dun?
dito kasi ako sa cavite and i thought malakas ung signal kasi malapit lang sa manila.
I’m in Boni Ave mandaluyong, near EDSA. Anyone with Globe, Smart or Sun broadband in this area? which is the best? Any problems?
Smart has the most widest signal pero if ur in the site uf 3g signal from globe mabilis ang kanilang net connection.
I bought globe tatoo kasi huawei ang brand ng modem nila and pwd to magawan ng custom app with txting features. I enjoyed trying to create some apps with this this modem. and Im planning to clone the Globe Inventory system nila na with txt features. ^_^
2mbps = bandwidth, that’s the highest you can go(burst speed) pero pang browsing lang to iba naman un sa download. companies limit your download to 10-15% of your bandwidth minsan 5% pa. wireless connection speeds depend on your location and the number of users that are connected in your location. Sun 2mbs wireless sa manila can download 70kbps to 100kbps pag araw, umaabot nmn ng 140-220kbps pag gabi. globe wimax and smartbro(canopy) @512kbps bandwidth max download nila is 60kbps kahit nka download accelerator k pa, minsan lumalagpas pero bumabalik dn sa 60kbps.
globe tattoo d2 sa zamboanga umaabot ng 100kbps download, smartbro usb stick nmn download is 80kbps.
Sa pagpili ng wireless Internet provider piliin un pnkamalapit ang cellsite, usually you get good results pag ganun basehan mo.
fastest??? booooooo!!! di na halos maka connect dito sa tagbilaran bohol!! buti pa smart bro. bilis ng youtube. based on experience.
Hello guys!
We know na “nagpapataasan ng ihi” ngayon ang 3 Telco companies pagdating prepaid,plug-and-play, broadband kits.
(para tuloy gusto ko na lang ay Dial-Up Cards…hehehe oldies??)
Nabilib lang ako dito sa review about Globe Tattoo. May MicroSD slot??? Pano nga naman kung may virus ung memory card,is there any possibilities na masira ung USB Stick?? Well, siguro un ang sense ng “Warranty”…hehehe…
Also, regarding naman sa pinag-aawayan na “connection”, gaya nga ng sabi ng iba, it depends on your location. Since wireless connectivity, wag mangarap na laging okay ang connection. I live in Novaliches,Quezon City, at nakita ko sa commercial ng Globe Tattoo na one of the fastest broadband connection ang lugar namin…pero dahil sa mga comment niyo, mukhang kelangan kong bilhin ung 3, then kung anu ung mabilis, siyang gagamitin…the rest ay gift na lang sa X-mas. ^^
Siguro the best way sa pagdedecide kung ano ang bibilhin ay, interviewhin ng husto ung mga mag-aassist sa inyo pag bibili ng broadband kit. Itanong muna sa kanila kung malakas ba ang connection nung product sa lugar niyo, then kung pwede bang gamitin sa desktop computers, same also to laptop, at huli, kung may “money-back” guarantee…para walang sisihan sa bandang huli.
NOTE: sa accredited centers bumili, mostly mga nasa malls. kung di satisfied sa info na nalaman, tumawag sa kanilang Customer Service.
I hope nakatulong ako sa inyo…
Nagmamahal,
johnx007.
@ RaVen
