Whatever your internet needs, be it communication, information or entertainment, you can now get what you want, wherever you are with Globe’s mobile browsing service.
Surf’s Up!
With the first and only 3G/HSDPA network in the country and a wide GPRS and EDGE network, Globe allows you to stay connected wherever there’s a Globe signal at up to 1.4Mbps with peaks of up to 1.8 Mbps. All you need is a browsing-capable handset, a Globe Prepaid or Postpaid SIM and you can already connect using the signal and speed available to you.
Surf the Way You Want To
You can now choose how you are charged when you surf the net on your phone be it by KB (kilobyte) or by TIME (per minute).
* KB Browsing Rate
This kind of charging is best for info-based browsing like browsing for the latest news or movie schedules, searching online dictionaries and checking sports stats. Since you are charged only P0.15/kb, a search for the definition to a puzzling word would only cost P2.30 while checking that movie schedule would only cost about P1.62.
* Time Browsing Rate
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 are done more affordably when you use Time Charging at P5 for 15minutes.
Getting Your Feet Wet
Thankfully surfing the web on your phone is way easier than catching the perfect wave and hanging ten. 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!
To shift back to KB Browsing: text KB.
To check the charging scheme that currently applies to your account: text STATUS. Send the keyword to 1111 for free.
Surfing on your phone or on your laptop is just as easy!
1. Browsing on your cellphone
1. Open the wap browsing application on your cellphone.
2. As a default, you will be directed to the myGlobe wapsite.
3. From there you can browse for content or other available wapsites.
4. You can also type in the web address or url of the wapsite to go directly to that wapsite.
Note: Some phones are also equipped with website browsing applications meaning you can view not just wapsites but actual websites. Viewing experience will vary due to size of the phone screen.
2. Using your cellphone as a modem
1. Cellphone models nowadays come with applications that will allow the phone to function as a modem when plugged onto a laptop/pc using a connecting cable. Please check with the phone manufacturer for this feature, CD installer, cable and manual.
2. Using your handset as a modem means that you are connecting to Globe Telecom’s wireless network through your Globe SIM.
Just think of it, 5 pesos for 15 minutes of web surfing on the go? For me, thats so affordable! yehey, friendster anytime!
