Globe Telecom is now offering volume-based mobile internet surfing plans with their Globe PowerSurf promo — starting with 50MB for Php99, valid for 30 days.
Here’s the full pricing plan:
Subscribers with Globe Postpaid Plan, My Super Plan, My Fully Loaded Plan, or My Super Circle Plan can avail of this offer except when you are on Load Tipid Plans, Load Allowance Plans, Globe Broadband Tattoo Plans or My SuperSurf Plans.
The service auto-renews after the expiration date so you need to text PowerSurf Off to 8888 if you want to un-subscribe. If you consume your volume allocation before the expiry period, you will be charged the regular Php5/15 minutes rate. SMS notifications are sent out at 50% and 100% usage.
Promo is valid until November 15, 2011.
This is great for the up and coming iMessage on iOS 5. You can message between iOS users without sms fee.
I hope globe offers it to prepaid subscribers, even for 150 a month, I’d still snatch up the plan.
to be fair with smart, the charging with globe is ON TOP of your MSF while smart’s service is contract-free.
Pano ba count nito sa iphone? sa Sent ba or Received? or both?
Received ang hula ko. Ganun naman usually eh.
That should be “BOTH”
kahit meron GPRS capability pwd ba maka internet? sa globe ?
Sayang at postpaid lang ang makakapag-avail nitong promo na ito. Ito na siguro ang pinaka smart (sorry for the pun) na promo. Sulit na ang 50MB for 30 days for just 99PHP. OK ito para sa mga tweeter or email users. Kung manonood ka ng streaming media, napaka OBVIOUS na hindi para sa iyo ang package na 50MB. Aside from that, natalo rin nya ang Wi-Tribe. One of the economical way to have internet with you phone is carry a portable hotspot ni Wi-Tribe, syempre dapat ang phone mo ay may wi-fi capability. Their 1GB costs 598PHP. Ito 499PHP lang, may 1GB ka na! Super sulit! Ang presyo sa Smart ay 750PHP para sa 1GB, halatang they are ripping you off.
I’ll still be waiting for the power-counter-offer from Sun, though. Hope it’ll come soon!
This is just a promo that will end on November 15? Why can’t Globe just make it a permanent offer?
globe net sucks big time. the customer service isn’t even capable.
R u Smart/PLDT employee? Kaya pala cheap dating mo. Globe is for the Elite and High End Subscribers.
I disagree with the statement that Smart/PLDT is cheap.
Smart has different brands precisely because they target different markets. SMART Infinity is for the High End Market / Elite Market. SMART Gold is for the Upper Middle Class. SMART Buddy Prepaid, I guess is for the Upper Middle / Middle Class who choose to go for prepaid lines. Talk ‘N Text targets those who want to save more on mobile usage, while red mobile is for those who spend a lot of time calling and texting.
Disclaimer: This is just an observation and may not be the actual marketing strategy of SMART.
I would still prefer SMART over GLOBE. Globe sucks nowadays. I am only keeping my Globe number because most of my friends are Globe subscribers. When it comes to internet SMART na ako. Good thing some of my friends are switching to Sun and Smart which I use more.
Mahal pa rin ang promo nila.tsk.. Must ok parin ang monthly.
Mahal pa rin ang promo nila.tsk.. Must ok parin ang montly.
Sayang! Sana may roon din silang promo na ganyan for prepaid.
been waiting for this! php99/50mb/30days is perfect for my twitter needs; smarts 299 per month is to much.
My girlfriend (she’s in australia) and I use twitter as means of “texting” each other, way cheaper than traditional international sms.
great move by globe.. this will definitely get everybody on the mobile surfing bandwagon..
now only if they could improve the availability of their H and H+ service..
hopefully a step towards the right direction..
still not so great move as this is offered only on postpaid users…
I told you so, Smart’s Always On was the first step. And Globe’s timing is perfect as my Always On 1 month subscription with Smart is about to expire.
Would this be on top of msf, or can we ‘consume’ the ‘consumable’ in the plan for this?
pude po ba sa globe tattoo broadband yan???senxa nagugulihan ako?
Not on prepaid? Please keep us posted about that Abe. Thanks.
99 for 50MB valid for 30 days? I think it doesnt compare to Smart’s Php30/50MB/1d given that most of today’s content can easily get you past the 20-30MB limit per day. The Php20/25MB/1d still works for me though on work days.
ciao!
@erin – actually, I thought it was a clever positioning. Imagine, if you’re only using Twitter on your smartphone and a light user, you can technically just spend Php99 a month.
I agree with Sir Abe, it is very clever and with the SMS notification, it is a great deal.
And tweeting using the official app eats less bandwidth also.
@yuga: might be but i think that is a very niche market. usually the “twitter only” folks also also visit linked sites and view/upload pictures of those whom they follow.
I try to limit browsing while I am mobile but between those and the email I get (gmail and MS exchange, first 10kb only) I hit 15-18MB easily on a 24-hour period. Globe seems to market on the up and coming young crowd who has increasing appetite for mobile data. :)
ciao!
I think its for us who are almost always connected thru wifi… as in pang YM lang siya pag wala kang wifi connection (sa road) para ka na din naka Blackberry…
Ang add on nga ng Blackberry around 10mb lang… kung di lang lumabas ang unlimited, sobrang mahal siya…
Told ya. Pantapat sa Smart.
yes, you are right
you told us
you are brilliant!
grabe! iba ka idol!
Sulit kaya eto guys, kapag facebook (lite use), gps at foursquare lang ginagawa mo?
