Globe is doing a promo on their Tattoo Prepaid Kit. Get a Php1,000 discount for every purchase of a kit — that’s just Php895 from the regular price of Php1,895.
The catch — well, promo period is only until October 31, 2009. The Globe Broadband Tattoo prepaid kit still comes with free 5 hours of mobile 3G worth Php100. Kits are available at Globe Stores and authorized dealers nationwide.
Note: SmartBro Prepaid kit also costs Php995 now.
hehehe, dito sa amin sa midsayap, cotabato HSDPA globe. I use visibility. ok naman, if maganda weather, it bursts up to 1.4 mbps although 1mb lang sya. ok na rin
gosh, how could i sell my old one? I won’t even promote interested parties to buy this friggin Globe tattoo kit. It sucks.
@GreenGem:
Snooty issuer. Hmmn. I usually give those scum a good tongue lashing. I had three last week:
1. over made-up bantay of the SM Record Bar. maputi ang mukha, brown ang leeg.
2. over-jelled hair guard of Smart Center. maybe he didn’t know any better.
3. pandak girl at CDR-King. ang tapang pa ng pabango.
Another idea: May be Smart or Sun could do broadband swap. Same thing they did with sim cards before. :)
I’m not satisfied with Globe Tattoo. Sobrang bagal, and napuputol pa. So di maximized yung load mo.
Actually, we got this bundled with a Compaq laptop at HP Trinoma. I had some experiences that possibly complemented the Tattoo experience.
1. One month delayed na ini-issue. Out of stock daw.
2. Masungit na issuer.
I hope Globe would do something about it.
Nakarating na ba sa globe mga comment nyo?
Or depende talaga sa location ng user ang problema or sa gadget na gamit..
sino opera mini users dito?
Kapag hirap kayo sa pagbrowse use this apps to you laptop..
I tell you. Globe Tattoo sucks big time. Am not putting Globe down just their tattoo. My globe broadband works fine at home. I love my duo landline service so anyway….
We have two netbooks at home with two different tattoo SIMS. The HP mini comes with tattoo USB while the Dell has built in for mobile internet SIM. Both showed dismal results. Took almost 15 minutes just for gmail to open. Tested in Cebu too and Laguna, and ugh mas mabilis pa iphone 3g ko. What gives? why does my iphone 3g download faster than the tattoo 3g? Do they have special ports for iphone and tattoo users?
I am now using smart 3g via phone modem and am very happy with the speed in almost any place in metro manila.
And most of my friends are now using smart bro after I told them about my experience. They have no regrets.
Globe Tattoo needs to fix their internet connection before going full blast with their promotions.
And to sum it up….since im from Manila, its much advisable to wait until SUNs price drop. Thanks for the information guys.
Globe Tatoo is the the worst among the 3 providers for USB Boradband services. Full bar na HSDPA pero di ka makaconnect! Nasa Ortigas na ako which is Globe dominated. Walang kwenta talaga. Dinala ko yung modem dun sa QC and within visual distance of a cell site pero wala pa rin.
Wag kayo padadala sa commercial.
Payong kaibigan lang, stay away from Globe.
Over Smart, you’ll save a few pesos here at least. Not just on the dongle itself but on the time charging as well. Smart charges 10pesos/30 min., Globe charges 5pesos/15 min. These minimum charges apply when you go over at even a fraction of these time blocks.
And that’s about it. Sorry guys, Globe wins. As for reliability, read above posts.
globe tattoo sucks big time! Our company provided us with this tattoo broadband (postpaid) and really very slow!!! bad trip sobra!
Nothing beats Sun hehe when it comes to package deal. For existing sun users: P699 – unlimited 3G internet, for non existing Sun users, 189x (during week days) then weekend promo: 159x for the modem and then 799 per month. Compared to other networks meter/capped plans aside from paying the modem.
hmmmmmmmmm.. is there any difference dun sa smartbro prepaid kit white and black?? regarding the specs?? just want to clear things before i spend money on these guys.. thanks.
bakit hindi ninyo isipin bakit mura ng printer pero mahal ng ink? same analogy so i think this is expected.
wish ko lang magkaroon ng retractable antenna yung nilalabas nilang usb modem… kya mas mganda pa rin yung smart bro share it wifi router.
Oks ito boss Abe. Pababa nang pababa ang presyo. Mamaya 50 pesos na lang iyan. Parang sim. Hehehe =)
Lower prices mean more people buying, which lead to more users of their already overtaxed lines. Higher revenues to the telcos, higher aggavation for us. It’s that simple.
Yes, we should learn to live with it as in all things in this country for lack of something better.
Copping out? No, just being real.
Price drop of modems is a good thing…. now internet can really be “almost” at anyone’s fingertips. I just hopw that the services will also improve.
Without improvement in services like bandwidth and the like, this will just mean additional load to their already loaded networks.
unlocked my Smart Bro MF627 and tried GLOBE…. Globe compresses the images and therefore the quality of images sucks…
I’m sticking with SMART BRO…
Kung may SUN lang sana dito sa PANAY…
Another great news that I might had overlooked again. I wonder will Sun catch up with the two top networks? It’s been ages since I’ve been hearing the same reasons that their internet packages using a USB modem is ONLY available in the Metro.
this is what competition is all about.. since we now have 3 players in the wireless connection market, they’ll try to out do each other by lowering down their price. I’m sure sun will follow suit, now that we see their promotions in every tv station. I sure wish someone will comeup with a prepaid.. DSL/cable connection. I’m sure this will surely be a hit to all consumer. Image… a DSL connection that you can regulate..
Kaya pala mejo bumagal sun kasi gusto ng karamihan. Haha. In anyway, pinakasulit ang sun broadband as of the moment.
For more than a year, evangelist ako ng globe until naging bulok services nila. Check out my blog for feedbacks. Also checkout broadbandph.blogspot.com
That blog also contains testimonials of globes cr@ppy services.
This is great news for people who hasnt purchase this yet. I was one of those people who got the expensive ones. Hehehe. Well, I hope they will have unlimited na. :P
This is great news! More people will purchase globe tattoo. Sana they will also have unlimited :P
Lower prices mean more users with already clogged networks! Thanks Smart and Globe! Bravo once more!
get over it, ur in bel0ved philippines.. da hell wud fell0w cunning c0untrymen listen to rants than makin’ huge bucks out of deception.
really frustrating, but we have to live with it… Ayoko nga! Hehe
They should advertise honestly regarding sa speed ng Smart Bro particularly sa Samar, di kame makapag-webcam. Instead of making beautiful designs in their usb kits, why won’t make their speed better anywhere in the country.
While I agree that lowering prices are great, I would prefer if these telcos deliver on their promised speeds and coverage. Doing that alone will have customers knocking at their door instead of them trying all these marketing and ad gimmicks. Word of mouth alone should keep their business flourishing as long as they maintain quality of service.
I just bought a Smart Bro prepaid for 995 and I would have gladly paid for the original price rather than getting it this cheap with lousy speeds in return.
mabilis naman un hacked na internet ng tattoo ah haha. sarap magbrowse ng libre
I’m on smartbro and so far only few instances that it failed me. D ko pa nasubok ang Tattoo kung okay. Anybody who can give me feedback on Tattoo?
ano sa tingin niyo mas maganda?
I’ll be looking forward for that GLOBE kit.
But some says mas maganda ang SMART BRO…
ano kaya??
bad trip na naman ang signal quality na binabato ng globe sa usb modem ko.. full bar HSDPA nga pero 0.00kbps naman anf download rate.. nak ng tokwa grrrr
Location and mode of connection must be big factors. I’m in Davao and on SmartBro prepaid which is usually slow, but its speed picks up in areas where 3G is available. I think it goes for all providers, since some of my friends who are on Globe have similar experiences.
But it’s true that disconnections actually happen, so you have to reconnect and be charged anew.
Really frustrating, but we have to live with it.
ok ang smart. mabilis! given the fact that iv tried it in panay, negros and north zambo.. mejo mahal lang.. gusto ko sana mag try ng iba. kaso pang metro manila lang yata eh! no choice. hehe.
Nagmura yan kasi super pangit ng service, yan ang pinakamabagal na broadband ko! Nag auto-log off yung yahoo messenger, hindi makatapos ng downloads, hindi ka rin pwede mag open ng maraming tabs, for some reason kapag heavy ka mag internet, nag auto downgrade sya from hsdpa/wcdma to edge!
Tapos madalas ma disconnect sa area namen sa Quezon City! At pag nag reconnect ka additional charge na agad! I have SmartBro and Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband and they lead by a huge margin compared to Globe’s piece of Sh*t!
kamusta naman ang performance nito sa OSX SL?
wait n lang ako mag drop ang price ng sun para bumili nito dami kc negative comments sa globe and smart kktakot bumili baka masayang lang pera ko eh ngayon p naman mahirap ang buhay
sir Yuga, how bout a poll on mobile broadband internet access >?
ang SUN Broadband ang pinakamabiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis na 3G internet sa Metro Manila. I trusted SUN in my downloads. If they say up to 3Mbps then its true.
Ang SUN din ang may pinakamurang load. 50pesos for 6hours of internet.
Stay Away sa Globe Tattoo. Mauubos load nyo if your in prepaid kahit di kayo makapag browse.
Di ko pa na try SMART Bro.
gumagana ba tong tattoo sa win7?
SUN -> wala kasing signal nun dito sa antipolo. sa ibang parts meron, pero dito samin wala.
—
may himala yung globe broadband ko. dl ko sa torrent ryt now is 216/kbps =D
whoa. sudden drop of prices??? clog services…
sucks…
SUN ang pinaka mabiles sa metro manila walang duda
This is very informative blog, thanks for this info. Actually this is what my kids asking for. I will inform immediately to my kids that they will gonna have to buy for each of them.
If i were u, id stay away from globe tattoo, globe visbility or globe broadband. Yun lang advice ko.
I want to buy those USB 3G kits, co’z my Globe Broadband always fails me.
So, sino sa 2 mas maganda? and mas mura ang load?
Wow this is Awesome! gusto ko SMART BRO KIT PARA SURE MY SIGNAL NATIONWIDE…
SANA UNG SUN SUMUNOD NA REN PARA BIBILI DIN AKO MAS MABILIS DAW SABE NILA SA METRO….
following the path where the SmartBro leads, price slash downs like these are really beneficial to Filipinos.
Wow this is great news. Following a price drop of Smart Bro to P995, here comes a cheaper Globe tattoo. How about Sun? Wish they can also come up with cheaper browsing packages.
sa mga gustong bumili ng Globe Broadband Tattoo masasayang lang ang pera nyo, sobrang bagal… im here in metro sun is so goooooooooooooooooooooood ang bilis then kahit yung prepaid mu ginamit mu, tapos disconnect ganun pa rin yung load mu, hindi agad nabababawasan unlike smart and globe, at saka ang mura na load meron pang 50 for 6 hours, maganda na mura pa ang load, kaya wag nang magpatumpik tumpik pa, nakakasiguro ka sa sun broadband pag andito ka sa metro. bili na kayo ng sun broadband nyo…..
