Globe expands 5G roaming services in Europe and USA

Globe has revealed its commitment to expand its 5G services globally through its partnership with telecommunication companies in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Started on April 30, Globe, along with its partner Telia Company released 5G roaming in different parts of Europe such as Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Meanwhile, it is expected that by June 30, Globe users in Italy will get their chance to experience 5G technology via Telecom Italia.

“Despite the setback in both business and leisure travels caused by the global pandemic, we are firm in our vision for our customers to readily experience the power of 5G technology once the world is open and safe for traveling,” said Coco Domingo, Globe Vice President for Postpaid and International.
