Was just talking to Globe Telecom's head of corporate communications, and after showing her the iPad, she told me that Globe's micro-SIM is already here. I expected that Globe would eventually introduce the micro-SIM here but not this soon. The Apple iPad 3G uses a micro-SIM instead of the regular-sized SIM. Here's a good comparison between the mini-SIM and the micro-SIM: Then, I realized -- Apple iPhone 4G will be announced on June 7 and the phone will also be using the micro-SIM (based on Gizmodo's dis-assembled 4G unit). I asked for details and was told it will be available in stores and will be priced just like the regular Globe SIM cards. So it's not a surprise that Globe Telecom has dropped its Globe Visibility Mobile Prepaid kit down to just Php3,500. Globe started offering their new prepaid and postpaid plans for Visibility back in June 23 when we first reported it here. Disclosure: Both Globe Visibility and SmartBro 3G is an advertiser on this blog.
