Globe has officially launched Starlink's satellite-to-mobile service in the Philippines after receiving approval from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), making it the first local telecom operator to commercially offer direct-to-device satellite connectivity in the country. According to Globe, the service works by allowing compatible LTE smartphones with an active Globe SIM to connect directly to Starlink satellites once they are outside Globe's terrestrial network coverage and have a clear view of the sky. Globe Prepaid and TM subscribers can access the service through a Globe Starlink promo starting at PHP 99, while Globe Platinum and Postpaid users with Plan 1499 and above can use it at no extra cost. Globe said the satellite service aims to help bridge communication gaps, especially in isolated communities and disaster-hit areas. Globe said the deployment helped restore emergency communications and benefited more than 150,000 customers. Erratum: Globe PR sent a correction about the availability of their SIM to eSIM service. The correct information should be: Globe is set to launch a new service allowing Globe Prepaid customers to upgrade from a physical SIM to eSIM and retain their current number. Globe Prepaid users are now able to upgrade their physical SIM card to an eSIM.
