Enhanced 5G Services for International Visitors

In addition to expanding its roaming coverage, Globe is also extending its 5G services to visitors and foreign subscribers from Sri Lanka, Romania, Egypt, Isle of Man, and Mexico who are travelling to the Philippines. This enables travellers from these countries to access Globe’s high-speed 5G network during their stay, ensuring a seamless and reliable connection.

Users can avail Globe’s data roaming promos through the GlobeOne app, making it more affordable and convenient for customers to stay connected without the need for local SIM cards or additional devices.

Convenient Data Roaming Promos

For postpaid subscribers, Globe provides the convenience of pre-registering for data roaming promos through the GlobeOne app. Options like Roam Surf Longer Stay offer longer validity periods ranging from three to 30 days, with prices starting as low as PHP 200 per day. Alternatively, Globe says postpaid roamers can opt for the all-day data roaming service, Roam Surf 399, which automatically renews every 24 hours without the need to register for a promo.

Prepaid users can easily connect to Globe’s roaming partners abroad by simply turning on their phones, instantly gaining access to data services. In cases where there is no active data promo, prepaid users can switch to 2G/3G mode upon arrival and register for a range of Roam Surf promos, including the long-validity Roam Surf Longer Stay offers, via the GlobeOne app or GCash.

Globe’s significant investment in expanding its infrastructure backbone over the past two years has laid a solid foundation for its network, according to the telco.
