Globe Telecoms now introduces new rate for their GPRS/3G/HSDPA service — Php 5 pesos for every per 15 minutes or connection.
This charging scheme is best used for multimedia-based activities like sending and receiving files through email or even viewing pictures and videos. All these at a reasonable rate of 5 pesos for 15 minutes. It is open to Globe Prepaid, Postpaid Consumer Accounts, SME and Corporate accounts but not applicable to subscribers on Data Plans (i.e. Visibility). Globe Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers are by default on the KB charging scheme. If you want to try out Globe’s new TIME charging scheme, all you need to do is to text TIME to 1111 for free.
Time Browsing rate effective upon receipt of text confirmation. Succeeding connections will be charged P5 for 15 minutes. If disconnected within the 15 minutes, reconnection will be considered a new session charged at P5. No refund will be made if disconnected before the 15 minutes are up. Applicable to browsing within the Philippines only.
Unfortunately for us in Asia, the iPhone will not be released in the Philippines until 2008.
Until then, we will have to rely on imports and pasalubongs from our relatives abroad to get one. In any case, since the iPhone is locked with AT&T, you can’t use it on other networks like Smart, Globe or Sun Cellular anyway.
