You won’t have to worry about using much LTE since globe has very few LTE hotspots. And only 1gb of LTE? What a joke

so all the variants of ip5s have the same price tag for postpaid plans?

Hindi na ba free ang 64GB sa platinum 5000? Di ko nalang sana inantay recontracting.

It’s still free under the regular Platinum Plan. This is just the new iPhone Forever Plan.

Thanks Abe. Just got confused. The idea on the forever plan is nice but still not that interesting. Skipping one gen of iPhone is no big of a deal for me. As long as it holds purpose to what I need on a daily task.

What does 1 GB LTE mean? Does it mean you revert to 3G when you reach the cap, or you have to pay for the excess?

Hi! My contract in globe is going to end by next year, April which is the iPhone 4s plan 1699. Can I upgrade to iPhone 5s and how much money will I be paying?
Akachan says:

Is iPhone5C at Plan1799 still worth it? Isn’t it overpriced? I was expecting it around Plan 1299. *sigh*

Smart has the best postpaid offer for iPhone 5s at Unli Plan 1,799 (includes 800 cash out amortization).
For the same amount, you only get an iPhone 5c! from Globe. I regret being a Globe subscriber..

Hi there. I have a line of Samsung Galaxy S4 from globe. 4months palang sya and gusto kong I exchange sa iPhone 5s pwede po ba yun?
Jason says:

Hello, do we really need to be a existing subscriber to get this plan? I’m not an existing globe subscriber? I have an iphone4 but open line, do I still need to pay more that P4999 just to subscribe for the plan?
john says:

How much do I have to cash out if I will swap my nokia n8 into iphone 5s?
Mae Anne says:
🌱 Noobs🏆1
I just got my Iphone 5c while I am under 24 month contract program with globe. (20 months now) I asked kung may additional fees sabi nila basta more than 1 year , no problem. Now, I’m kinda worried baka may pre termination fee? They should have mentioned that before applying for the phone. :X
