Globe to sell Galaxy S3 Prepaid Kit at Php29,990

[Updated: It’s back to Php32,990USD 562INR 47,657EUR 535CNY 4,094.] We initially reported that telcos will not likely sell the Samsung Galaxy S3 on a prepaid kit plan. Turns out Globe Telecom has already announced that once all the pre-orders have been fulfilled, they will also offer it for prepaid subscribers.

On June 9, Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S3 in retail stores with a suggested retail price of Php32,990USD 562INR 47,657EUR 535CNY 4,094.

Apparently, as early as May 23, reps from the Globe Social Media team have already shared that the prepaid kit will be offered at only Php29,990USD 511INR 43,324EUR 487CNY 3,722.

That’s a Php3,000USD 51INR 4,334EUR 49CNY 372 discount from the local SRP. I think it’s the first time we’ve seen the prepaid kit price being much cheaper than the retail price.

Updated: Globe rep has called and wanted to correct the details we got from their Facebook Page:
