In a bold move to retain old subscribers, Globe Telecom has announced a trade-in offer for all iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 owners who got their handset from Globe before (whether prepaid or postpaid).
Details of the trade-in promo will be available in specified Globe Stores (they’ll have one in Bonifacio High Street) starting tomorrow, December 16, 2011.
The trade-in price hasn’t been revealed yet but could be done on a case-to-case basis, depending on the condition of the old iPhone.
Globe has set up a trade-in scheme for existing iPhone users who want to upgrade their Apple devices for the ultimate experience. Users of Globe-issued iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 in good working condition can trade-in their units at a specified trade-in value, which may be applied and treated as a discount for qualified purchases or availments of iPhone 4S at designated Globe stores and launch venues on December 16, 2011. The scheme applies for all existing prepaid and postpaid subscribers of Globe.
Aside from the trade-in, Globe subscribers can also get a voucher which will entitle them to a 20% discount when they purchase an original iPhone 4 case. The price slash is available until December 31.
Globe prides itself with high-profile subscribers and even presented no other than the President of the Republic of the Philippines the first Globe iPhone 4S in the country.
Taking part in this phenomenon is Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy†Aquino III himself, who was the first subscriber to receive his iPhone 4S from Globe as part of his loyalty reward. PNoy, a long-time Globe subscriber since his days as Representative of the 2nd District of Tarlac, renewed his Globe subscription for another two years.
Another exclusive freebie for Globe subscribers availing of the iPhone 4S are free mobile applications for the ultimate smartphone experience. By getting their iPhone 4S from Globe, subscribers can enjoy games, social networking, lifestyle, entertainment and sports apps all for free by simply texting REWARDS APP to 4438. An exclusive app for Globe subscribers using the iPhone 4S who want to check their balance is also available for free. Through this app, users can subscribe to a wide array of text, call and mobile browsing promos with a simple touch on the screen. Just text IPHONE to 2222 for free to download the app.
If you’re still on a contract with Globe but wanted to go for the iPhone 4S, this offer is an interesting opportunity.

what??? 1-day event only?!?
Andre says:
can i trade in sa smart or get a cheaper plan..
coachjojoc says:
Now that you’ve got competition on your hands, your loyal clients are suddenly valued customers and not schmucks after all…ehh, Mr. Ernest Cu?
Yeah, these same LOYAL clients who were told they had to apply for a new line in order to get an iPhone 4.
Starting Dec. 16, iba na ang mundo (globe), Mr. Cu..iba na.
Name: Jbl says:
Hi sir yuga. I think wrong information toh. I was excited when i read your post. Then i called the globe hotline. The agent named Peter said that we must be out of contract or have finished the lock in period before we can trade in or swap our old iphones to the new iphone 4s
galaxy s2 says:
Sows. I’d rather buy a Galaxy Note rather than this piece of shit. Android FTW!!
coachjojoc says:
That’s what I gifted my wife last Monday.
Super cool.

Samsung low end feel (plastic) = Android = Generic OS = Cherry Mobile using Android low end feel (plastic)
Mike says:
Samsung is 1 – 2 years ahead of Apple in Technology right now. They already overtook Apple in total smartphone sales & soon they’re going to overtake Nokia in overall cellphone sales.
galaxy s2 says:
@boifan:
Pare, kung gusto mo ng premium feel, bat di ka na lang kaya bumili ng aluminum foil at lagay mo sa kamay mo para lahat ng hawakan mo eh may “Premium Feel”. lols
coachjojoc says:
I got a kick out of my wife’s comment as she opened the box containing the Samsung Note: “Kaya pala dinedemanda ng Apple ang Samsung…pati box ginaya!”
galaxy noob says:
to galaxy 2. baka wala ka lang pera pambili. notepad na lang bilhin mo.
to mike. malamang mas marami units ang samsung. daming low end “smart” phone. parang cherry mobile lang nga rin.
Galaxyscks says:
Yuck samsung! Wala kme pakelam sa opinion mo assh0le
Mike says:
Technological advancement shifted to Asia. Leading the way, the “Asian Trio” China, Japan & South Korea + Taiwan dominating the Global consumer electronics exports that’s why Europe & America are in financial crisis right now. Samsung vs Apple (Asian vs American) Samsung ftw!
francis79 says:

Jean says:
Those saying bobo are usually the real bobo. Obviously, this ‘xinyuiyin’ doesn’t have any idea about the Philippine tech blogosphere. Maybe you have any idea about what a TV is? Try watching some Christmas segments of ANC, especially about gadgets. There you’ll see who you call “bobong Yuga” is.
Oh sometimes I hate to be a Filipino. Crab mentalities like xinyuiyin’s, soo ashamed.

gs2 is for gays says:
troll dre ?? wala kang kwenta pakamatay ka na wala ka lng pambili ng iPhone at Android is a stolen product from iOS.then shutup loser
blackdahlia018 says:
ganyan tlga yang si Galaxy S2 inutil yan ee.
ran says:
someone i know already asked. ONLY around 5k value for 3gs. so not worth it.
Andre says:
Tradein is Discount on IPhone 4S Prepaid kit only
15k discount for IPhone 4 32GB
10k discount for IPhone 4 16GB
PHP500 penalty for every missing accessory.
If you are in contract, you can only upgrade your contract. so not worth it, might as well get a new phone if you are upgrading plans
Calvin says:
1-day event lang late pa nasabi ng Globe. pero marami pa rin pumunta lalo na mga platinum subscribers.
Got the postpaid and prepaid plans here Abe:
http://bit.ly/v2TfGe
mas mahal prepaid nya kesa Smart.
TriadWarfare says:
I would advise anyone NOT to buy the iPhone 4S as it has a recurring battery issue that it will only last for half a day even if it is on standby.
My cousin who works in Singapore has that issue and even if she update it, the issue still persists and she regrets for buying this piece of crap.
I doubt the Philippine version of this phone will fix the issue. Anyway, stress test the phone for one day if that issue persists on your 4S, either demand for an immediate replacement or go back to your old iPhone. If the standby battery life is shorter than the iPhone 4, something’s wrong with your phone.
@boifan21 You’re nothing but a fanboy and you have no place in this world. Stop insulting Android phones as if your referring to Android as cheap knockoffs. There’s a lot of things my entry level Android phone can do that the iPhone cannot do, but this is not the place to start a flame war. I suggest you shut up and keep your biased opinion to yourself
jeimuzu says:
yes you’re right. it’s very disappointing. that’s why i disposed it right away. i would rather buy samsung galaxy nexus.
keibiem5 says:
My friend went to Globe store in Trinoma a while ago. She was told that you could get an iPhone 4s via trade-in with Php 15,000 discount from the prepaid kit’s SRP.
fedxing says:
my year old iphone4 + ~19K = iphone4s??? LOL! i don’t think ‘s’ is worth that much!
fedxing says:
i mean 29k! ugh
mattscradle says:
Yes not worth the discount talaga kasi yung ip4 pwede mo pa yan benta ng 20K. Tapos yung 3GS pwede pa kahit mga 10K. For me hindi tempting yung offer.
Mac says:
I went there and the lady said that if I want to trade my iphone 4 which still has a lockup period of 1 year, I need to upgrade my plan to 5k. She recommended getting a prepaid kit instead and deduct the 15k from my old phone. The other alternative she recommended is to get a new line at mas mura pa daw… kalokohan ng Globe talaga! sheez… btw, they don’t have stock of 64GB of iphone 4s already
coachjojoc says:
29 fu__kin’ big ones?
No, Mr. Cu…you haven’t changed at all. You still think we’re idiots.
nexusboy says:
i just got my white iphone 4 16Gb around 6 months ago for about 30 thousand pesos and they value it today for a measly 10 thousand pesos? ganun pala ang resale value pag apple? super baba naman. so not worth it to upgrade to 4S.
Marcdown999 says:
Selling iPhone 4s for only 37.5k. text me 091510*****
leemar says:
if you hAVE iphone 4, no need to upgrade to 4s kasi di naman noticeable ang difference, speed yes, but the the iphone 4 is not slow, its fast actually, 4s just faster, 5mp camera is ok too, 8mp is better nga lang, pero if you have dedicated camera naman, that would be fine,
siguro kung naka 3gs ka , upgrade to 4s kasi makikita mo talaga ang lake ng agwat ng pagkakaiba, pero kung from iphone 4 to 4s, waste of many many many money…
wpkfol says:
correct dude! no one is forcing them to upgrade to or buy iPhone 4S.
perci intalan says:
Ano ba tong mga Pinoy tech blogs na to puro iPhone articles, wala na bang iba? So overrated tong phone na to, mga barista lang naman gumagamit nyan or mga oldies, or mga mayayabang!!!
@###$# says:
Alam mo yung newspaper? Doon kapag yung mga latest na balita sa first page nilalagay.
Ganun din sa blogs, dahil kahapon nirelease ang iPhone 4S sa Pilipinas malamang ang mga Pinoy tech blogs puro yun ang pangunahing laman for the week. Kapag nagrelease naman ang Nokia, yun naman ang papalit sa headlines.
And those Apple products, yes I’ll agree sooo overrated and EXPENSIVE. I can’t find the reason to have one, redundant na mga gadgets sa bahay kung magdagdag pako ng Apple products. Lalo na kung may mas affordable choice around.
iphone hater says:
Kaso look, 4 or 5 consecutive posts ata all about this ifuck thing, it’s getting on my nerves!
Epstein says:
@iphone hater
someone forcing you to read the posts?
luci says:
Please don’t be a bitter if you can’t afford one.
tbor says:
what is iPhone? lol. not worth upgrade from ip4… just my 2 cents on this phone. madami parin mas ok na dual core and quad core(coming 2012) out there with better specs.
Phillip says:
To those who are interested in trading their iphone4 32GB to globe, I have a better offer for you… I will buy it for Php18,000 cold cash! Php3,000 higher than the globe offer! Iphone must be in good condition, not jailbroken with box. Please email me at phillipec****@****.*** with your complete name and cellphone number… I will contact you!
dianne nicole says:
Hello!!!! I want to ask lang po I their selling iPhone3gs??
dianne nicole says:
*IF their selling iPhone3gs
Marj says:
Have they released lowered iphone 4 prices already? Is cash out for 4 still higher than 4s for plan 1799 right now?
Raffy says:
I sold my iphone 4 16gb for 25k and bought iphone 4s 64gb for 40k sealed and locked to globe not a bad deal if i may say so.
to raffy says:
where did you sell your iphone 4 for 25?
rA says:
Ask ko lang po.kung pwede akong kumuha ng plan 1799 ng globe for ip4s na 32gb. student palang po ako. And i can pay the bills. Anu po ang requirements na kelangan kpg student palang? reply po. tnx!
kevin says:
@rA
I have the same situation as yours. But I did not hesistate to come to globe and they said that since you are still a student, you don’t have a work (unless you are a Working student) because you need a proof of billings and 2 valid IDs, If you know what I mean. :)
Crepe says:
i got my iphone 4s from globe and i’m a student. Ask mo nlng parents mo for help para walang problema and approve agad.
