Confirmed: Globe MyFi Router

A Globe Telecom representative sent an email confirming that their MyFi Router is already being sold in selected Globe Business Centers.

This is probably in response to our earlier report about the Huawei E5830.

The Globe MyFi Router is an add-on to existing Globe Tattoo Broadband plans. So, instead of just getting the Globe Tattoo USB dongle, customers will have the option to take the MyFi Router instead.

An additional monthly fee of Php250USD 4INR 361EUR 4CNY 31 is added to your postpaid bill for the MyFi Router for the next 24 months (a total Php6,000USD 102INR 8,668EUR 97CNY 745 spread over 2 years).

Globe Tattoo plans include the Light Plan at Php499USD 9INR 721EUR 8CNY 62/month with 50 hours free internet every month and a Heavy Plan at Php999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124/month with unlimited surfing.

They should sell the router separately for prepaid users…

@abeolandres does the new globe broadband plan still have that 20% bandwidth cap on P2P programs? That’s the deal breaker for me.@talk2globe

@aedos & patricia – will be released to prepaid users also but they’ll prioritize postpaid subscribers first.

Sir Yuga, is P6,000 the cost of the myfi unit spread over 2 years with an additional monthly subscription plan of P499 or P999 per month of either light or heavy usage?

If it is, then I would rather wait when the unit price goes down.

Is it sim locked?

That would be P999 + P250 = P1249/month for Heavy Plan.
