Had a short meeting with reps of Globe this afternoon to talk about their My Fully Loaded Plan, a new postpaid scheme that allows subscribers to choose consumable amount, up to 9 freebies and a selection of handsets.
Since June 29, Globe introduced a new set of base plans, starting with consumable amounts.
Step 1: Pick a Plan
Plan 299 – Php299 consumable per month
Plan 499 – Php499 consumable per month
Plan 999 – Php999 consumable per month
Plan 1799 – Php1799 consumable per month
Plan 2499 – Php2499 consumable per month
Plan 3799 – Php3799 consumable per month
Each plan has a corresponding number of freebies (up to 9) that you can choose from among 6 choices.
Step 2: Pick a Monthly Freebie
A. Free Calls (10 minutes) and Free SMS (200) to Globe/TM number.
B. Free Calls (5 minutes) and Free SMS (25) to other Networks
C. Free IDD Calls (20 minutes) and Free SMS (10) to 10 countries*
D. Free Mobile Internet Surfing (3 hours)
E. Free Super One Unlimited Call & Text to 1 Globe/TM Number
F. Free Super Surf
Plan 299 – Pick 1 Freebies between A to D
Plan 499 – Pick 2 Freebies between A to D
Plan 999 – Pick 3 Freebies between A to E
Plan 1799 – Pick 5 Freebies between A to E
Plan 2499 – Pick 7 Freebies between A to E
Plan 3799 – Pick 9 Freebies between A to E (or get F only)
The Freebies are recurring every month and you can combine any of the choices. For example, if I am on Plan 1799 — I can pick 2 x A, 2 x E and 1 x C. Or, I can just pick 5 x A to get 50 free minutes and 1,000 free SMS.
The catch here is that you can actually change your freebies every month. All you need to do is call the hotline and ask that you want to change your monthly freebies to another set you like.
Step 3: Pick a Free Handset
You can get a Nokia 1680 on Plan 299 or get an iPhone 3GS on Plan 3799.
Here are some real-world scenarios for a My Fully Loaded Plan:
Plan 299 = Php299 usable credits + 200 SMS + 10 minutes call [Freebie A] = ~ Php560 value
Plan 499 = Php499 usable credits + 2 * (200 SMS + 10 minutes call) [2 * Freebie A] = ~Php1,000 value
Plan 999 = Php999 usable credits + 3 * (200 SMS + 10 minutes call) [3 * Freebie A] = ~Php1,800 value
The My Fully Loaded Plans are basically your G-Flex Plan + Freebies.
Globe has started migrating to this new Subscription Plans and offer it to new and existing subscribers. One can stick with their existing plan or move into this new plan anytime.
* Countries include US, Canada, Guam, Hawaii, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Thailand
** Plan 299 and Plan499 can get (E) Super One using the Php100 consumable amount.
*** Freebies and consumable amount have a 30 day term from activation period and expires at end of billing cycle.
Should I now leave the safety and freedom of prepaid and succumb to 299/month? This may be worth maintaining if just for the unlimited and automatic roaming.
There is nothing worse than being abroad and moving from country to country for work only to find out your Php3,500 worth of load was eaten up by several roaming charges after only 5 days and some text messages.
This may be the answer to my prayers.
sablay lang siguro ang marketing arm nila.
salamat sa nag-clarify, naintindihan ko na yung new plan nila.
In that case.. sulit yung P299.. plus whatever freebies that suits the user.
Ayaw lang talaga nila na mag-offer ng unlimited ala Sun ha… But the monthly is somewhat competitive na.
Minsan kase sa daming pagpipilian, mas nalilito yung consumer. Sa halip na ma-appreciate, lalong umaayaw!
geez its a nosebleed indeed. ill stick with my plan with rebate and just go home like i did not read this globe promo.
i used to be on G-plan 2,500 then after the lock-in period, i downgraded to G-Mix 800 plus SuperDuo. with the new plan, i’m planning to further downgrade to Plan 299 plus SuperDuo. yahooo!
@hubes
Yeah. Once my contract ends (although Feb. next year pa ‘yun), I’m planning of downgrading my GFlex 800 to Plan 299
Hindi po kaya ito mas mahal? Confuse parin ako dito.Iba pa pala ung MySuper Plan.
I like these new flex plans now. Before kasi the lowest glex plan is plan 800. now its only 299.
wala bang ibang model ang globe heheheh…
i’ve seen the brochure, grabe it’s SO CONFUSING! hahaha
if you are on PLAN 3799 with free iPhone, you get free SuperSurf. if you really need Super Duo which is P450 on top of the plan, the monthly service fee amounts to P4,249
so ITS NOT FULLY CONSUMABLE coz when you subscribe to Super Duo, it is charged ON TOP of the monthly service fee.
Thanks for clearing things up guys. It was really confusing the heck outta me. It seems a whole lot better now.
Called Globe CSR and he did say registering to SUPERDUO, SUPERTXT, DUO etc. will go ON TOP of your bill. If you register to MySuper one it will be deducted from your consumables and that will be considered your freebie for the month for plan 299.
Good news: 1. At least plan 299 has roaming unlike smart Gold Lite’s 300 and 500 plans. 2. add on’s like Superduo will be charged old postpaid rates unlike Superplan that charges like prepaid. Ex. Superduo 499, Supertxt 299 for Fully loaded plan
@Ardz – yes, it’s allowed as long as its an equivalent of higher plan.
@Jiro Yan
I agree. Baka another GFlex plan lang ‘yan where those VAS are billed on top of the MSF.
so many confused people.. Globe needs to do a better job at communicating/phrasing their offers
the peso amount is supposed to be consumable. it’s on top of all those free texts and calls. in other words a plan is like this:
MONEY + Freebies
299 + (1 freebie)
499 + (2 freebies)
etc.
what freebies you can choose from depends on how much your plan is
you know… i tried reading them , but is damn confusing… face palming
WTF just make it all free and charge 1 rate.
Hope its totally consumable. Sa Regular Plan kasi if you use share-a-load, subscribe to DUO, Subscribe to Unlimited text.. All of that will be on top of MSF.
Here are some real-world scenarios for a My Fully Loaded Plan:
Plan 299 = Php299 usable credits + 200 SMS + 10 minutes call (Freebie A) = ~ Php560 value
Plan 499 = Php499 usable credits + 400 SMS + 20 minutes call (2 * Freebie A) = ~Php1,000 value
Plan 999 = Php999 usable credits + 600 SMS + 30 minutes call (3 * Freebie A) = ~Php1,800 value
The My Fully Loaded Plans are basically your G-Flex Plan + Freebies.
