Globe Mobile Internet

Globe prepaid and postpaid subscribers can now enjoy mobile internet services.

There are two rates:

• P5 for 15 minutes (great for viewing photos and videos)


• P0.15/KB (good for viewing short, text-heavy pages)

Please note, however, that in the case of the time-based rate, your P5 will not be refunded if the connection is lost during those 15 minutes. Also, if you decide to reconnect, you will be charged P5 again. You'll stay connected, though, whenever there is a Globe signal (GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA).

Browsing only works within the Philippines, so Globe Roaming subscribers will have to use another mobile internet service.

To activate this service, or to check your current charging scheme (time-based vs the default pay per KB rate), simply text TIME to 1111.

The correct settings for your cell phone:

1. Text the following keywords (in bold) to 2951:

1a. For myGlobe connect (GPRS) settings, text GO [handset model],,1234

1b. For myGlobe Internet settings, text INTERNET (for Postpaid) or INET (for Prepaid)

2. You will receive the settings via text (SMS).

3. Save the settings in your phone.

(IMPORTANT: This Globe Mobile Internet service is not available to Globe Visibility Plan subscribers.)
