  • Globe expands Roam Surf4All: Group travel connectivity now shareable, more affordable

    Globe continues to be a gamechanger in the roaming space with the expansion of Roam Surf4All, the first-of-its-kind data roaming promo that’s shareable to up to 5 users.

    In an offer that started on March 15, Postpaid, Prepaid and now even TM customers can enjoy shareable data connectivity for as low as P50/day/user. Promo registration is also made available via the GlobeOne and GCash app for Prepaid and TM subscribers.

    Globe expands Roam Surf4All 1

    The move underscores Globe’s dedication to empowering travelers with more flexibility, convenience, and cost-effectiveness during their international trips.

    Globe has found that alternatives, particularly Pocket WiFis, have several drawbacks. For one, using a pocket WiFi requires constant proximity to the one carrying the device–a hassle when traveling in groups, especially when you want to have a separate itinerary or have free time to explore on your own.

    Connectivity also slows down as more people latch on to the pocket WiFi. Having to carry and charge an extra device can also be burdensome, especially when you’d rather focus on enjoying your trip. Using the device overseas also sometimes entails additional fees such as rental fees and security deposits.

    Addressing these challenges, Globe’s Roam Surf4All service redefines shareable connectivity by introducing the concept of shareable data roaming where there is no need to carry an extra device, pay for any extra fees, or be in close proximity to stay connected while abroad.

    “Group travels are meant to be rewarding and frictionless. With Roam Surf4All, we’re able to break down the barriers of global connectivity by giving group travelers the ability to roam freely–whether they’re exploring as a group or on their own,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Head of Globe International Business.

    “This first-ever shareable data roaming offer again puts Globe at the forefront of significant innovations–not just locally but even abroad,” she added.

    The enhanced Roam Surf4All service by Globe integrates a versatile selection of plans tailored to meet the varied requirements and preferences of group travelers, all while eliminating the need for physical proximity for shared connectivity and the hassle of carrying additional devices such as Pocket WiFi.

    Roam Surf4All  5499P549910GB15 daysP73
    Roam Surf4All  7499P749912GB30 daysP50

    This shareable data roaming offer is available for as low as PHP50.00 per person per day, providing a seamless and cost-effective solution for budget-conscious Pinoys.

    Once registered to a Roam Surf4All promo, members can be added and data usage can be managed easily via the GlobeOne app.

    Group Data

    Coupled with its worldwide coverage in over 100 countries and support for up to 5G speeds, Roam Surf4All ensures that travelers can enjoy uninterrupted, cross-country internet access abroad, making it the ultimate connectivity companion for modern adventurers.

    Activating Roam Surf4All is straightforward, with options available through the GlobeOne app and GCash (for Prepaid and TM subscribers).

    To access via GCash:

    1. Click Load

    2. Scroll to the right and select the Roaming & Int’l category

    3. Select your preferred Roam Suf4All promo

  • Globe shares 6 tips to make the best of your mobile data

    Over the years, mobile data has truly become essential in the daily life of Filipinos. Many rely on their phone’s mobile data connection for work, education, livelihood, and entertainment. In this era of countless apps and data-heavy activities, understanding your data consumption can empower you to save and maximize your usage.

    Mobile leader Globe shares tips on how you can conserve your data so you can make the most of your browsing experience!

    GP AlagangGlobe MobileData Main 1

    1. Choose the best data promo

    Globe has the best data promos for your needs, regardless of your budget. If you are budget-conscious and want to make the best of your data for streaming, learning, earning and other activities, try Go50 with 5GB data for all sites and unlimited all-net texts for P50, valid for 3 days. If you’re willing to splurge a bit more, go for Super Xclusive Go+99 with up to 10GB for all sites, 8GB for your choice of apps, and unlimited all-net texts for P99, valid for up to 8 days. Both promos are available on the GlobeOne app.

    2. Check how you use your mobile data

    Data usage is largely behavioral. If you are a heavy streamer, whether it be videos, music, or games, your data consumption will inevitably be higher than a recreational or casual user. Make sure you keep yourself in check when browsing.

    3. Be conscious of usage while video-streaming

    High-resolution videos in applications may lead to more data consumed. The higher the quality of the video, the more data it would likely require. Make sure to adjust the video quality in apps like Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, Tiktok, and Zoom to conserve data. To get a sulit deal for streaming sites, you can register to Go+99 with GoWATCH to get 8GB for all sites, plus 8GB for video apps, and unlimited all-net texts, valid for 7 days.

    4. Control app updates

    Automatic app updates and other app activities may consume a significant amount of data. Turn on your phone’s Low Data Mode (Android) or Data Saver (iOS) to stop automatic app updates and other activities from using your mobile data.

    5. Know your data limit

    Keep in mind that it’s possible to exhaust all your data before the end of your promo period depending on usage. Some customers might think that their data, such as 5GB under Go50 on GlobeOne, will last for 3 days, and are surprised when it gets fully consumed before the validity ends. You may keep track of your data usage using the GlobeOne app.

    6. Know where to get help

    If you have concerns about data, you may access GlobeOne app and go to the Help section. GlobeOne is your digital life companion!

    “Putting our customers first, we recognize the importance of every megabyte of data, and more so, the value of the money they spend on it. We believe every byte matters! Actively listening to their browsing experiences forms a vital part of our service improvement. We hope that this information serves as a valuable tool for our customers, enabling them to make the most out of their data without any worries,” said Aileen Burgos, head of Customer Experience.

  • Globe Group partners with Aklan LGU to encourage responsible tourism in Love Boracay 2023

    Globe recently partnered with the local government of Malay, Aklan in its move to encourage sustainable tourism, through the highly-anticipated return of Love Boracay (formerly known as LaBoracay) held on April 28 to May 1, 2023.

    The Globe EcoStation at Love Boracay 2023

    Globe has been supportive of Boracay’s environmental conservation efforts through conducting offshore clean-up drives, coral reef rehabilitation, community support for prevention of untreated effluents from entering the sea, and raising awareness among the youth and the community on how they can contribute to environmental conservation.

    “Globe fully supports the local government of Malay, Aklan in its efforts to advance responsible tourism in Boracay. At this year’s Love Boracay, we carried out activities to encourage customers to adopt sustainable practices. We hope that this event raises awareness for responsible tourism throughout our country,” said Pia Gonzalez-Colby, Globe Chief Marketing Officer.

    The GCash booth at Love Boracay 2023

    To encourage Boracay visitors to “Go Lang Nang Go” and discover how they can responsibly enjoy the island’s beauty, Globe held various activities at the Globe Eco Station located at the picturesque beachfront in Boracay’s Station 1.

    ●       Plastics for a prize. Here, tourists got the chance to spin and win prizes by turning over single-use plastic bottles, plastic cups, cans, or plastic bags and presenting their GlobeOne app and proof of SIM registration. They also got a shot for the prize by donating at least P10 to Save Philippine Seas via the GlobeOne app or GCash. 

    ●       GForest signup. There was a GCash booth for customers to sign up to GForest, where actual trees are planted through points collected via activities such as walks tracked on health apps or transactions within the e-wallet, from bills payment and bank transfers to buying load. 

    ●       Globe At Home cash giveaway. Globe At Home gave away P5,000 in GCash credits to customers who took a photo at the Globe At Home photo wall and shared it on social media. The photo with the most likes and shares got the prize. Customers also received P50 GCash credits for turning over plastic bottles at the Globe At Home booth.

    The Globe At Home booth at Love Boracay 2023

    For sports fans, the Globe Boracay Sportsfest proved to be a treat. The event held tennis, ultimate frisbee, volleyball and soccer competitions at the beachfront from Estacio Uno to Ambassador in Station 1 on April 29 and 30. The awarding ceremony was held at the sunset session featuring a local DJ, with Globe and GCash providing cash prizes for the games. Globe also brought top DJs and bands at the Globe Love Boracay Musicfest in Lake Town.

    “GCash has been powering the Globe Group’s goal of promoting a digital ecosystem in the country. For example in Boracay, you can now pay for your e-trike rides, food trip, activities, and other local shopping via the GCash app. This is our way of not only promoting local tourism but also making sure that businesses in Boracay benefit from the growing digital economy,” said Neil Trinidad, GCash Chief Marketing Officer.
