gusto ko sana mag avail. pero may mga naririnig ako na matagal daw yung approval ng globe dun sa application which i think is hassle. totoo kaya ito? share your experiences naman pra makapag consider pa ako ng ibang actions.

yep matagal tlga approval ng globe. Idk with other branches but matagal tlaga. Some was approved 2-3 months pa. I applied Dec. last year for the ip4s and it was approved around 1st week of feb. 2012. hassle tlga. So if you wanna apply i guess you have to do it now.

Hi Guys, you might just have an idea. I am currently locked on my globe postpaid plan, still got a year to go, with plan 499. But I really want this Samsung galaxy SIII. I was wondering if there’s a chance I can upgrade my line, say 999 or 1799 then get the phone? Anyone who experienced this already?

Am I correct that the UnliSurf Combo for S3 does NOT come with freebies like the other phones on their site? and that the 800 consumable is the only one that comes with the unlimited surfing?


Reply
PA
Papa P · 14 years ago

There are freebies:
Plan 999 – 1 freebie
Plan 1799 – 3 freebies
Plan 2499 – 5 freebies
Plan 3799 – 7 freebies

Back to your question: You will have 3 freebies and 800 consumable per month.

I just sign up for the P1,799 mySuper Plan Unli Surf, Total Monthly Bill is P1,999. With the Unli Surf costing P999, kahit nde ko magamit yung P800 na consumable, lalabas na I am only paying P1,000 a month for the phone, x 24 months = P24,000. kahit na 16GB lang yung ibibigay ng Globe, sulit na sulit. Mas sulit kung magagamit mo yung P800 consumable each month, you’ll end up paying just P200/month for the phone for the next 24 months. ang tanong lang ngayon, tatawagan kaya ako ng GLOBE???

enjegoodnezz · 14 years ago

I was hoping someone had the unit already and feedback on its performance.

But thanks for the info Brutus.


PA
Papa P · 14 years ago

@ enjegoodnezz
The globe plans here are the same since the GS2 and Iphone 4/4s last 2011. They just replace the unit by GS3. IMHO it is worth the money since you are paying less on the unit (also staggered which is great!). The GS3 has great reviews in any tech sites out there (phone arena, gsmarena), and being referred as top smartphone to date. The only thing i don’t like is the design but the performance/user experience negates that.

I also pre-ordered for plan 1800, for recontracting (from plan 2500).

As Brutus said, you are only paying 200 per month for 24 mos (I’m planning to pay one time 4800 pesos) for the phone. You’ll enjoy unlimited internet (you’ll enjoy this if you have good coverage in your area), consumable 800, plus 3 freebies (i usually choose unlimited call and txt to 1 number for my freebie)

yung unli surf plan 999 pag sinabing no consumable, ibig sabihin lahat ng hindi pasok sa package ng plan (eg. call/text sa smart) automatic regular charge na yun? Medyo naguluhan lang kasi ako sa no consumable thingy na yun. Sorry… Haven’t applied for postpaid kasi before.


PA
Papa P · 14 years ago

@chuful Pag pinili mo plan 999 (unlimited data/internet), with 1 freebie (check globe’s site for details), all text and calls will be charged on top with your plan meaning lagpas 999 babarayaran mo monthly kung mag txt and call ka. Also, with this plan mag cash out k pa ng 16800.

Guys itatanong ko lang, yung “My Super Plan UnliSurf Combo (with Unlimited Internet)
Plan 999, no consumable – Php1,699/month” ba ay walang cashout para sa Galaxy S III, meaning yan lang ba talaga ang babayaran monthly for 24 months sa Globe? Pardon me for the noob question, as I haven’t subscribed to any postpaid plan ever since kaya wala akong idea. Parang ngayon ko lang gusto subukan dahil mukhang maganda ang offers ng Globe at para makakuha rin ako ng Galaxy S III. Another question, yung My Super Plan UnliSurf Combo plans ba stated above ay hindi para sa mga new subscribers? Wala kasi nakalagay gaya ng sa mga postpaid plans na nala-list before that. Any reply will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Merong cash out yan. kung ano ung cash out nila dun sa post paid basta equivalent ng Plan mo un din ang cash out nya:
My Super Plan UnliSurf Combo (with Unlimited Internet)Plan 999, no consumable – Php1,699/month is the same as
Globe Postpaid Plans (My Super Plan, New Subscribers)Plan 999 (+ Php700 per month or Php16,800 cash out), total Php1,699/month

ung pinagkaiba lng nla are the feature for each plan.

cleochris08 · 14 years ago

Thank you so much for the response Lazh. So ganun pala yun. Mura pala ang cashout dahil P16,800 lang. Mukhang maganda nga ang postpaid plan offers ng Globe para sa Samsung Galaxy S III. Sigurado ako maraming magpe-preorder sa kanila nito. Magpe-preorder na rin ako.

The best PURE VANILLA Android 4.0 ICS theme for Android smartphones.

this is the reason why im not upgrading to gs III. that theme is awesome!… the nature UX theme isn’t the best looking in my opinion. also i think everyone is upgrading because its the “newest and latest” thing. doesnt always mean its better. social thing.. lol.. but iphone users are worse.

Actually overpriced !! Smart’s offers are better (except for the other plan having only 1 GB of data, don’t get that). Globe’s signal is beyond fucked up, it can’t get inside my house. In fact, sun’s is even stronger than theirs. How rude. And don’t call it “unlimited internet”, it has 800 MB cap ! Just die already.

JO
John · 14 years ago

Ermm ok. I have an iPad 2 that runs on a smart plan and an iPhone 4 that runs on globe prepaid. Why the flying fuck would I bother using globe as my daily tool on connecting online ? I don’t even get that much signal here and it likely stays on like 2 to dropping off. If you hate me very much, choke your heart out. Besides, I can take whatever network I like. Why the hate ? You don’t even know me.

In technical terms (as opposed to be at odds with such utter waste of time layman’s) –

Smart’s network is better in a way that

1. It supports 3G and HSPA+ 850/2100 dual band in contrary to globe (which only runs on a 2100 Mhz band). If your AT&T phone is to be brought here, smart can support it ! Note that the 850 band can stretch very far as opposed to the 2100 band.
2. Smart network is better as their speeds theoritically support maximums of 27.8 Mbit/s and capped at 20 Mbit/s in advertising calls. Whereas globe’s current infrastructure supports up to 21 Mbit/s as said by a globe technician that works on their own phone towers.
3. Smart’s LTE network is dual band 800/2100. Their systems can generate LTE speeds of up to 75 Mbit/s. An insinuation of the fact that it will support the iPad’s LTE card and the Lumia 900 (LTE version) even though I’m pretty sure they will shut up about it ! Globe’s LTE is to be confirmed that it runs on the 2800 Mhz band which can barely penetrate on walls.
4. Globe’s said LTE network is to be released on Q2 2013 whilst smart’s is ongoing now for testing on Davao, Cebu, and Metro Manila quietly albeit not commercially called as “online”.
6. Smart’s leaked inventories have hinted that they will tote enough LTE phones here that can prop up mobile LTE speeds of up to 7 Mbit/s.
7. Nokia, the world’s leading mobile phone giant, relies on smart’s network for their phones and apparently in favour of the said network (as the Lumia 900, 710, and 610 will be exclusively on them). Although it be that, you can still buy it open line and not subsidised, yeah ?

Very well. Notwithstanding that, I don’t hate globe that much like you have bashed me with your loafer’s words and shoving it all down my fucking throat. I have used both networks, I always travel ! I can tell that smart is better for me because of what my encounters. Freedom of speech, ever heard of that ? You mister, are pathetic. If you tend to reply with another claptrap comment to be at variance with this, I will laugh thinking the fact that you’re are utterly fucking irreplaceable and one of those dumb cunts who always speak without even thinking.

Unlock? yes unlock is possible on all android devices. You just need to root your phone to a desired Rom that you want, careful ka nga lang sa pagroot as you may brick your phone if mali2x ung Rom na ni root mo. Problem is your warranty will be void. :)

The other day, I went to a SMART store and ask a rep about the iPad and to which they said “Ano po ? The iPad by samsung ?” And I fucking laughed. That was utterly hilarious. Basically they don’t even know what an iPad is. I changed the talk point then about their future LTE network for the iPad and her mouth was all about if the iPad is capable of running a smart bro stick. I left the store without any word. All I can think was what the fuck.

Hope Smart makes a good move on their plans. Coz if they could top Globe’s, I’M IN IT!
