Comparison: Globe No Lock-up vs Smart Line-only Giga Plans

globe-vs-smart-line-only-plan-crop

Smart has just introduced Giga Plans as its latest postpaid offering. They have also included Line-only plans for those who are not fond of the two-year commitment with the network. Globe also has this offering under their current myLifestyle No Lock-up plans. Let’s compare the two and see which telco offers the best monthly service plan.

	Globe	Smart
Plan 399	-	1GB data 20 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 599	500MB data Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	4GB data 30 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 799	3GB Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	7GB data 40 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 999	5GB Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	10GB data 50 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 1499	10GB Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	18GB data 60 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 1999	-	24GB data 70 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 2499	15GB Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	30GB data 80 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks
Plan 2999	20GB Unlimited calls to Globe/TM Unlimited texts to all networks	36GB data 90 minute calls to all networks Unli texts to all networks

Both telcos don’t offer any handset discount under these plans which is the trade-off of a contract-free postpaid plan. You can terminate your subscription anytime you want plus you get more allowance compared to regular plans.

Seems like Smart is giving a lot of data to its postpaid subs with up to twice the data Globe offers. As for calls, Globe allows unlimited calls within their network while Smart gives a number of minutes to call anyone in the country. Both gives freedom in texting anyone in any network.

Since Smart’s offering is new, we expect Globe to battle this out anytime soon. A healthy competition like this is good for consumers.

The Globe plans posted on this article and on Globe’s website looks like the ones they had 2 months ago. I’m not sure about the other plans but as far as my no lock-up plan is concerned, I used to pay P999 monthly for 5gb data. But starting last month, I’m now paying only P799 for 6gb data. With unlimited text to all networks, unlicalls to Globe/TM, free facebook for 24 months and free premium Spotify for 3 months.

This is currently a promotional plan for the Plan 999. New plans are coming soon.

for those who have leftover data at the end of their billing cycles, globe has an option to roll over – which will be better suited for them IMO

Globe is for call/text while Smart is for data and text. Bottomline, depends on your needs.

I have the No Lock-up Plan 499 with 3GB promo offered before and it has Anti-Bill Shock. Not sure though for the current plans. It’s best to ask Globe when applying.

I’ve been playing a Mobile Game App (Ingress) for over 3 years. The game constantly needs an internet connection, so I’ve been switching networks to get a “better mobile data experience”. Globe has a better “connection” (LTE signal, constant speed, lesser data drops/blackouts) than Smart
