Philippines: Globe cuts post-paid roaming cost by 75%

MANILA, Philippines – Globe Telecom launched a promotional offer for postpaid subscribers that makes international roaming cheaper, up to 75 percent less the usual cost, and easier.

The offer is available in 15 countries and territories: Australia (Optus); Hong Kong (CSL); India (Bharti Airtel); Indonesia (Telkomsel); Macau (CTM); Malaysia (Maxis); Singapore (SingTel); Taiwan (Taiwan Mobile); South Korea (SK Telecom); Thailand (AIS); China (China Mobile and China Unicom); United Kingdom (Vodafone); United States (T-Mobile); Saudi Arabia (Mobily); and Canada (Rogers).
POWERROAM comes in three fully-consumable variants: Plan 499, Plan 999 and Plan 2999, all valid for 30 days.
“Looking closely into the lifestyles of our postpaid subscribers, international roaming is among the must-haves for these customers,” explained Martha Sazon, Head of Postpaid Marketing. “We have more than 600 roaming partners in hundreds of destinations around the world, making Globe the most accessible provider of international roaming services.”
POWERROAM follows the launch of My Super Plan, a buffet of services where subscribers can choose and pay for all-you-can call, text or web surfing, depending on their needs and usage and My Fully Loaded Plan, postpaid offers that allow subscribers to choose a monthly consumable amount, up to nine bonus or free offers and a selection of handsets.
