    Prepaid does not have the risk of getting overbilled ... Usually using Shopee prepaid load promos ... but have GCash as backup ...

    For globe prepaid users, just in case you don t know, you can use GOSURFBE34 to extend your data validity to 15 days. When combined with GO90 you have 22 days to consume 8gb of data. Just make sure you extend before GO90 expires.

    Experience ko naman sa Globe eh hindi consistent ang monthly billing nila. I'm subscribed to their 1899 globe*home. Minsan it would go up to 1999 sometimes go down to 1699. Tapos wala pang breakdown sa loob ng bill. Unlike my other telco bills consistent.

    This happens when you unwittingly join a text ____, I forgot what it's called but everytime that 4 number texts you, 2.50 is deducted from your load. You have to call this in, so that they will remove you from the text alerts.

    Yes. There are hacks or combination of promos which can enhance your packs. And they are stackable for as long as you don't let it expire before subscribing again.

    I've experienced this. I use smart postpaid for my main line. Dual sim phone so I placed a globe prepaid for backup in the second sim shoot. In my phone settings, only the smart sim has internet access. I've set it to highest 5G/LTE etc. The globe sim is set to just 2G and data is unchecked. Every few months I'd get a notification that I accessed the internet using the globe prepaid. This despite the settings set to 2G, smart sim as source of data AND connected to WiFi. So yeah, I've wasted hundreds already for several years that i have that globe prepaid sim because it'll supposedly "connect" to the internet without me doing anything. Oh and it happened even if i have changed phones. So because of that mysterious load disappearance, i replaced it with gomo. Smart postpaid then gomo prepaid for me

    To Globe prepaid users, may masa-suggest ba kayong sulit na call, text and data promo? Preferably one that will last for a month. May nakita akong 90 pesos for 8GB data with all net calls and text valid for 7 days.

    I use mobile data primarily for Google maps navigation and some light browsing at work.

    Pre-pandemic, I used to sign up to this promo with 1k texts, 500 mins of calls, and 1 GB data that's good for 30 days. 1GB was enough back then because I only rode UV Express to and from work.

    I don't know if this will fit your needs and besides it's not a Globe prepaid load pack, it's another sim actually, GOMO, but it fits my needs, I can convert data to call and text also depending on my needs, it's all no expiry or 1 up to 1 year only as they say as the sim itself has a 1 year expiry.img_20220205_131914.jpgimg_20220205_131956.jpg

    Ah, yan pala yung GOMO. I'll check it out. Kaso hindi ngapala ako naka dual-sim, hehe. Baka pwede sa old iphone5 namin as hotspot.

    Globe should come up with a promo that can compete with Smart 90 days 599 plan.

    Similar naman ito sa GOMO sir, which is 300 for 25gb good for a year, if you get the smart giga 90 days, for a year, it will cost you 2400, deduct 300 and the remainder will be 175/month for the free unli call and text. Depende na lang sa subscriber kung pano ang usage/needs nya.

    Yes you're right and I also use GOMO. I just prefer Globe because of Gcash.
