A couple of weeks ago, Globe mentioned that they will start selling the nano-SIM this month. True enough, the prepaid nano-SIMs are now available in select Globe stores nationwide.
For the meantime, only the prepaid nano-SIMs are being sold by Globe in their stores. The postpaid version of the nano-SIM is also available for new or existing subscribers for free.
(Disclosure: We’ve already requested our own postpaid nano-SIM replacement at no additional cost.)
Here’s a copy of the press release they sent:
Revolutionary Nano-SIMs now available in Globe Stores. Globe Telecom has officially offered the revolutionary Nano-SIM in its Globe Stores, way ahead of competing telco brands. The Nano-SIMs are new generation subscriber identity module (SIM) cards for the latest generation of smartphones running on the most modern mobile network technologies.
The Nano-SIM measures 12.3 millimeters wide, 8.8 millimeters high and 0.67 millimeters thick, or about 40% smaller than the Micro-SIM. “We have ordered as much as 5x more Nano-SIMs than our usual SIM orders as we anticipate high demand from our subscribers, especially when smartphones running on Nano-SIMs are offered to the market,†said Martha Sazon, Head of Globe Postpaid.
The Globe Nano-SIM is free for new and existing postpaid subscribers while new prepaid subscribers can avail of the Nano-SIM for only P40. Shown in photo is Globe subscriber Maria Salud Sison receiving her Nano-SIM from Globe store specialist Gilbert Calalay.
We tried looking for the availability of the nano-SIM in Globe’s Online Store but the site isn’t updated yet.
hi, ask ko lng if working ba ung globe plan sa coby kyros tablet? thanks
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a
amusement account it. Look advanced to far added agreeable from you!
By the way, how can we communicate?
Hi guys, is there really no way of changing my Smart prepaid sim to nano sim w/o having to cut it? Smart says only for post paid, but Globe says they can swap even their prepaid sims to nano sim.
gara naman. isang nano sim dito sa Singapore makakabili ng 30 na nano sim sa Globe!
LOL.. even though you have nano sim.. i doubt you can use it.. cause i think only iphone 5 use nano sim.. well if you already have ip5 which is still not available here in ph that will be a different story..
Really??
“revolutionary” nano-sims?
It’s basically like calling a folded paper “revolutionary” >_>
It’s basically the same as the original, they just made it a tad smaller =p
And for the record, I’m not against nano-sims… I just hate it when people overly hypes something just to sell something -_-
Wow, that’s a super high anticipation. Smartphones with nano sims would probably start appearing mid 2013, except for iPhone 5.
sir abe, aandar ba ang normal sim/micro sim kung i ccut xa into a nano sim size?
aandar, basta magaling ang mag cut ng SIM card into nano size.
nano sim… sa ngaun iPhone 5 pa lang
Tanong ko lang Sir yuga/Guys, kapag meron kana nano sim, san mo magagamit??
nano rin cguro laki ng utak mo… magbasa ka nga. Tanong ka ng tanong.
Ang point ko is wala pa naman smartphone dito sa pinas na ginagamitan ng nano.
For sure nano din ang ari mo!
May mga bibili kasi ng iPhone 5 sa ibang bansa at dadalhin dito ng mas maaga kaya kailangan nila ng nano sim para magamit nila yung phone dito.
it’s for Iphone5 and ipad mini.. available in apple retailer stores here in the philippines.. pwede mo rin itong bilhin via internet http://store.apple.com/ph
Pinag aawayan ang nano sim nuon (9-24-2012), COMMON na ngayon (10-4-2015) history
