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.
it’s really confusing…
how much do I have to pay if ever
I subscribe to Plan 499
for example? kasi they have
a plan but having a value din,
meaning I still have to pay
those FREEbies? diba kaya nga
sila FREE no payment at all?
so If I avail for plan499
how much will I pay for that month
or they were just letting the
people knoe the value so we
can be aware how cheaper it
would be? or pang catch lang yan?
kasi I have a plan on other
line/network.
meron silang pang “catch”
example they will say
you’ll just pay whatever plan
you choose,so in curiousity of
my mind I avail naman,I choose
for example plan 120? example lang yun
thought I was going to pay 120 for
month lang,though i use line/plan
tipid padin ako for texting
calling from other network,
but after i paid my initial
payment na 120,di na bumaba ulit
yung bill ko it’s always 200…
kahit anung tipid ko,I even bought
2 cp para I still have prepaids
gagamitin ko lang yung line/plan
ko for texting or calling for that
thesame network,but then nung
na-observe ko,kaya pala I
always pay for more than the
plan I avail kasi they were
just promoting the plan name
ang they did not indicate
if that was TAX INCLUSIVE or
EXCLUSIVE,kaya pala I always
pay for more than the plan I avail
so declined na yung ko na yun
ngayon,I’m planning for Globe
kaya i’m asking Hos was that
fully loaded plan works ba
talaga??
Thanks a lot!

Hope there’s a way for Globe to inform My Fully Loaded subscribers a notification that they have consumed all their freebies so it won’t confuse them that they’re already going over their consumable amount…

Does anyone have an idea how does the Free 3 hours surfing works for BlackBerry users? It’s quite confusing…

@Louie6380:
For BB, its 150KB free allowance. So if you get the plan 499 and use the 2 freebee allocation for 3 hours internet surfing, for BB, you will get 300KB data allocation.
@cathy i agree with your idea..based on my exeperience, i am G-Flex plan subcriber which is i am entitled for 20 mins call for globe to globe 500 sms to all networks. Since my plan is 500 i should only pay 500..but i almost pay 900 a month because my plan is not consumable..thats why i want to try the new offer of globe which is consumable plan you can now enjoy calls and text plus the freebies..hope i will pay exact of the 999 plan after enjoying freebies and the plan itself.
@rail
You might mean you are on gplan 500 and not glex because gplan/gtext has 500 20 mins call for globe to globe 500 sms to all networks and not gflex. A gflex plan is a consumable plan unlike a gplan.
Sorry. I should have typed “…because gplan/gtext 500 has 20 mins call for globe to globe 500 sms to all networks and not gflex.”
gud am… can you pls send me the list of cellphone (unit or pics. ) per plan?? because we are interested..thank you!!!
hi,
im planning to apply for plan 499 + an iphone 4. when i went to the site, there’s an option to “Share consumable with up to 2 additional Globe numbers”. Does this mean that I can opt to share-a-load and it will be deducted on my credit instead of billed on top, provided that i share the load to either of the 2 numbers?
forgive me for the shallow understanding, but if this isn’t the case, i would appreciate your enlightenment. thanks.

@pay – I called Globe to ask about the “Share consumable” option but they said that this is only applicable to the “highest plans”. I think they are referring to the Platinum plans 5000 and 10000.
Has any one tried going to a Globe business center to get an iPhone 4 without reservation? Do we still need to go through the reservation process to get one?
hi.
i just graduated and is not yet working.
i want to avail of the plan for i phone 4.
will they allow me to have the plan using only my bank account as proof of financial capacity?
i get remittances every month from my sister abroad. thank you…
magagamit ba kaagad ang phone pag nag avail.. oh mag hhintay pa hanggang mabayran lahat..
gusto ko yung 499 + iPhone? pwede ba yun?
i got a fully loaded plan @ 499. hassle. First month ko pa lang inabot na ako ng P750. Questionable since hindi naman ako tawag ng tawag. atsaka ang freebie ko is yun unlimted call and text to one person and 200 free text to TM and globe subscribers. Kung ako sa inyo kung kukuha kayo ng consumable na 499 doon na lang kayo sa unlicall and text ng 30 days which is 599 lang. Mas-sulit at wala ka pa’ng problema. And para doon sa mga katulad ko ng first timers isipin niyo muna ang plan at purpose talaga sa buhay niyo bago kayo pumili. sakit sa ulo, ang hidden charges na kapag tinanong mo sa customer representative nila, lahat sila iba-iba ang sinasabi.
Hi. I’ve recently upgraded my GTalk 1200 to the All New My Super Plan 1799. I availed:
1 Freebie A
1 Freebie B
3 Freebie D (9 hours Free Internet)
Now the CSR told me that I would need to shift from TIME browsing to KB browsing in order for the system to monitor my 9 hours free internet usage.
Now I’m confused with this arrangement since KB browsing measures volume of data (contrary to TIME browsing since it measures length of usage).
How will shifting to KB browsing be more beneficial for those who availed of Freebie D?
Also, once I’ve exhausted my 9 hours of free internet, I will be billed P0.15 per KB. Is it possible to shift to TIME browsing once I think and feel that I’ve used up my 9 hours free internet?
Please help. I don’t want to be shocked by my future Globe bills because of lack of support/information given by Globe representatives.
Thanks.
@Gregory
I upgraded my G-Flex 1200 to the All-New My Super Plan 1799 and got 2 Freebies B and 3 Freebies D (9hrs internet).
I was on TIME browsing since last year and before upgraded my plan. I’m currently on my 1.5 months on this new plan. After my regular cut-off of pro-rated amount between my old and new plan..I was shocked when i checked my unbilled charges, i was charged 6K++ for just internet. I called Globe and talked to a lot of CSRs and the last person told me to wait for the latest bill. I recently got a message from Globe to settle my bill (prorated amount of the new and old plan) and half of the current unbilled charges. I went to a Globe Center and talked to a rep, was told that after consuming the freebie D (internet) it’s set to KB Browsing and you couldn’t shift to TIME browsing until the freebie D is taken off…it was then I 1st heard of it and wasn’t disclosed to me when I applied to upgrade my plan. That was a total misinformation in the Ads…there is also no disclaimer about it. There is a disclaimer but that’s for BB units. FYI i’m not using Blackberry unit and was charged for it.
Hi!
I want to deactivate the PHP 400 something monthly BB Activation Fee in Fully Loaded. How do I do that? I’m not using my BB features that much often anymore (even WiFi). Please help. Thanks!

@susan
the answer is NO. No you can not deactivate the 400something in your fully loaded plan,especially if its part of your BB plan. It could be the BB max (which allows you to surf evrything for free) or the BB socials which allows you to surf on BB applications only, so better utilize your internet coz you will be charged for it whether you like it or not. Hope this helps : ))
What exactly is included in the consumable amount? Are text messages to numbers like 2332 etc. (with a P2.50 rate or more) included in my plan or will it be billed on top of it? Thanks!
hello po,pardon me for my shallow understanding. i just availed the plan 999 all consumable. then pinili ko pong freebie yung free mobile surfing and yung unlimited call to one number. ask ko lang, how much will i pay monthly? and yung freebie FREE po ba yun? kasi FREEBIE ansabi ng globe eh. so i assume na its for free. thanks!
Twitter: randelrocks
says:
the bill depends on your consumption. If its plan 999 consumable, its like having a regular load of 999 that you can use for texting, surfing and calling with regular charges, however you can not use them for unli features, you will be able to register to unli services which will be charge on top of your bill.
About your Freebies, YES they are absoulutely free. You will be able to call to one number without limit, and you will be able to surf the net with limited time, hope this helps : ))

Sir, ask ko po lang, un inavail ko po plan 999 pwede bang un iregister sa mga unli call and text promos? thanks po

Bakit ganun yung computation sa real-world scenarios? Gaya nung Plan 299. Bakit naging Php560?
It’s just 299 consumable + FREEbie. Confusing.

says:
In the real world scenario, you will only pay the amount of plan that you availed. The author simply want to emphasize how cheaper it is or how practical it is to get a postpaid plan, coz you will pay a bit higher if it is on prepaid with exactly the same service. : ))

Can I upgrade my internet plan 999 wired with wifi to a higher plan??

YEs! You can always upgrade your plan, but you can never downgrade if the lock in period or the contract hasn’t lapsed yet : ))
