Getting the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (256GB) with Globe’s GPlan 999 only requires a one-time cashout of PHP 54,000USD 920INR 78,008EUR 876CNY 6,701, while Smart’s Signature S with Device (PHP 999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124/month) requires PHP 61,998USD 1,056INR 89,562EUR 1,006CNY 7,694. On the other hand, the 512GB model requires a one-time cashout of PHP 58,800USD 1,002INR 84,942EUR 954CNY 7,297 (Globe’s GPlan 999) or PHP 66,798USD 1,138INR 96,496EUR 1,084CNY 8,290 (Smart’s Signature S with Device).

Nonetheless, Globe’s postpaid plans offer added perks as they all come with free 3GB of GoWiFi, KonsultaMD (Individual Subscription), and free GInsure (3 months COVID-19 & Dengue coverage from Singlife).

I need your help. Smart is now charging 72400 one time cash out for plan 999 for the fold 3 512gb. Do you have a screenshot of the website? I remember it was 66400 just like you reported on your website.
