So you’re about to take a quick trip abroad for some R&R as summer comes to a close. Travelling on a budget, you waited untilmidnight to book affordable flights and score the best hotel deals to ensure you have savings left for that much-anticipated food trip with a little shopping on the side.
As you zip lock your travel luggage, you see your mobile phone, a must-have travel essential to capture and share travel experiences as they happen. You take a step back and realize your savings will only go to your data roaming charges if you take your mobile phone with you. However, your other half tells you that you can’t afford to miss your daily Instagram posts, and not to mention, e-mails from your boss. After all, life goes on even when you’re on vacation.
Good thing there’s the new standard rate for unlimited surfing for subscribers on roaming from Globe Telecom to simplify the roaming experience and protect you from the scare of bill shock due to excessive data charges.
“A lot of subscribers today prefer going on free Wi-Fi for mobile surfing when they are abroad because of fear of bill shock. However, free Wi-Fi is not available everywhere so that limits them from going online. Most roaming promos also require you to memorize access codes in order to register. When travelling from one country to the other, users also need to note of different roaming rates to avoid bill shock. These customer pain points are addressed by our new flat rate for unlimited mobile surfing while roaming,” shares Raul Macatangay, VP for Postpaid Business and Devices.

“We also eliminate the need to wait until midnight to register and keep track of various time zones since the new default rate covers a full 24-hour cycle. Just select the roaming partner in your country of destination and enjoy a wonderful and worry-free data roaming experience from Globe,” adds Macatangay.
