Globe has revealed its commitment to expand its 5G services globally through its partnership with telecommunication companies in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
Started on April 30, Globe, along with its partner Telia Company released 5G roaming in different parts of Europe such as Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Meanwhile, it is expected that by June 30, Globe users in Italy will get their chance to experience 5G technology via Telecom Italia.
“Despite the setback in both business and leisure travels caused by the global pandemic, we are firm in our vision for our customers to readily experience the power of 5G technology once the world is open and safe for traveling,” said Coco Domingo, Globe Vice President for Postpaid and International.
With Globe’s Roam Surf 399, Postpaid customers can get all-day surfing while Prepaid customers receive 1GB of data for 24 hours. To take advantage of 5G, Globe users can simply activate this promo abroad with their 5G-enabled devices within the range of Globe’s 5G partner locations.
Currently, Globe’s 5G network is now accessible in 16 countries in partnership with 12 telecommunications companies: Kuwait and Qatar through Ooredoo; Saudi Arabia through STC; Taiwan through Taiwan Mobile; Thailand through AIS Thailand; the United Arab Emirates through Du and Etisalat; Hong Kong through CSL; South Korea through SK Telecom; Singapore through Singtel; Turkey through Turkcell; Oman through Omantel; and Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Estonia via the Telia Company.
Moreover, the telco also mentioned that it would be launching 5G in Sweden with Swisscom and announce other locations in North America with AT&T as their partner within the second quarter of 2021.
