Globe MyFi: 10 Things You Need to Know

It’s a pretty reasonable deal. Though a unit from the grey market would give the flexibility of choosing from either Sun, Smart or Globe.

WOW! is it better than this common USB plug-it from 3 companies? globe,smart and sun?

how long does the battery last po?

I have an ipad with wifi + 3g. I have not decided whether to use (cut by me) microsim (globe or smart) prepaid.
Is globe myfi better? What do you think? Anyone?

I might just wait for the price to get lower. Madami din nanghinayang before dun sa 3G USB modem dongle na binili nila ng almost P4,000.

u can do this using a 3g/wifi supported smartphone, particularly symbian. just add 3k and buy a nokia 5800, and u can have these features plus more. hehe

@abe, did you received my email?

I use joikuspot, kaya lang nagooverheat ang joikuspot sa mobile phone. Nakakatakot baka sumabog ang unit ko. Hehe.

Lower cost or free units might boost sales of this devise. Plus good 3G service and affordable cost.

Trust me, this device being “FREE” as you say is impossible.
The device if you read costs 7k-12k. So… in your dreams. :P
Realistically, di naman sila bobo magpalugi ng ganun kung malaki na subsidy nila as it is.

The unlocked unit youre saying, isnt worth the price my friend bought it at- 6k. It’s malfunctioning for some reason and i am thinking its bcause of the way the black market tweaks it inside. :(

Am gonna go get myself one of these for my iPad. hehe! :)
buti nalang for globe, kay smart the router is very immobile and mukhang tanga if you bring it around.

Yeah, I would agree that it’s a bit pricey.

To lower the price, we need to ditch the battery. Just use a 220v to DC transformer. I’m sure huawei though of that.

Offer both models. The one with battery for rich ultramobile people and the 220v one for poorer people with poor signal strength but access to 220v

I got mine for free as replacement for the old modem I paid for. This is superior compared to the sapido I owned a few days back. (sold it when this was confirmed) I got it unlocked but not sure if I did it right though.

there are cheaper ways to share 3g connectivity, especially when using a laptop with windows7, just install connectify software and you can use the wifi card of your laptop to act as an access point. or buy the new edimax router with 3g usb modem support.

I came to globe alabang town center this afternoon the sales representative said the myfi needs to be connected first to a laptop thru usb before sharing its connection thru wifi, so i turned back from getting it. Sir Abe, Was the info from the lady from globe ATC accurate?

@JojoV That’s wrong, the MyFi can work both connected thru wire or not…. yun alam ko.

The E5382 supports 3 modes:

* if connected through USB it will be recognized as a Ethernet adaptor providing internet access and access to the web GUI
* if connected through USB and Mobile Partner is being startet, it will be recognized as plain 3G USB modem like any other Huawei 3G modem
* if WiFi is activated by the “WIFI/WPS” button, it additionally works as a WiFi router

Smart now has the Pocket WiFi. Problem is they only have a plan 499 for 50 hours and then back to the 10Php/30 minutes rate.

Has anyone tried downloading from Globe MyFi? How fast was it?

Here’s a comprehensive review…looks like Globe did good on theirs…i’mma go get myself one…

I’m uber confused already. I called globe just now and they are telling me that i cannot use the MyFi if my laptop is not turned on and there are blogs I read that I can. Which is which?

Help guys. My question is: If i intend to use the MyFi device only for my iPhone do I also have to turn on my laptop just so I could use the MyFi on my iPhone? Assuming of course I’ve instead the MyFi device already on my laptop. In short, is the MyFi totally useless if you have no laptop with you?

Thanks!

ask ko lng po kng pwede mglagay ng password sa Myfi kng koconect sa wifi. kng pwede kukuha na po ngyon hehehe..

FYI.. Globe already released a ‘superior’ line of MyFi…they call it the SuperStick… dont know when it was launched but it’s supposed to be a myfi packed with more features and exclusive only to postpaid Tattoo… so i guess that would bring even better speeds than Tattoo prepaid (though i heard their speeds have been much better recently). I should tell my sister to hold off buying a pocket wifi…seems Globe is the more exciting brand to watch!

i have a myfi unit now & i want to know how to put a password in it.

anybody here using globe mifi partnered with ipad wifi? is it possible..

I’ve tried Globe Tatoo MyFi with iPad Wifi 16GB and it works well even while inside my car.

I have a question. I just bought the Samsung galaxy pro and am new to the android world. My network provider is Globe telecom and am a prepaid user. Everytime I load up my phone with let’s say, 100php. Every minute that I check, 5 pesos is deducted and I have no idea why? I tried to check if facebook was still open and other apps running. set them all to force stop.
Now however, I cannot even use the internet anymore. Would appreciate if you can help me
