Globe is doing a promo on their Tattoo Prepaid Kit. Get a Php1,000 discount for every purchase of a kit — that’s just Php895 from the regular price of Php1,895.
The catch — well, promo period is only until October 31, 2009. The Globe Broadband Tattoo prepaid kit still comes with free 5 hours of mobile 3G worth Php100. Kits are available at Globe Stores and authorized dealers nationwide.
Note: SmartBro Prepaid kit also costs Php995 now.

Oh no, talaga. It’s been two months. And Im not really satisfied with Globe Tattoo. Please send me emails. (martyla****@****.***)It’s not completely rubbish naman. It works for me but it’s not reliable at most times. Please send me emails regarding how do I boost my internet connection speed. Thanks so much in advance.
@Mace, I totally agree with you. Patience lang talaga
@Erixxx, oh my God, I pity you, haven’t you heard of UnliSurf50?
Andy says:
Don’t choose Globe!!!! (read on…)
Globe Telecom sells a variety of internet packages. Several of these packages are advertised as being ‘Unlimited’. The adverts lead customers to believe that they will recieve unlimited internet access (data transfer) for set periods of time, in return for their payment.
However, Globe has a (very hidden) policy which actually sets strict limits on the data usage allowed to customers. This policy is the ‘Fair Use Policy’. It unilaterally sets an ‘average’ data consumption limit for customers. If customers exceed this limit, then they are deemed to be “abusing” their contract and their package is suspended.
One example is the Globe Tattoo Broadband, on pre-pay. This is advertised as being “unlimited” broadband access. The customer pays based on the amount of time that they remain connected and using the broadband internet.
However, the Fair Use Policy actually limits pre-pay Tattoo customers to a maximum of 1 Gb (gigabyte) of date use per day. This is not made clear to customers at any time when they purchase their Tattoo usb stick or buy load/credit to use that service.
When a customer exceeds that 1GB limit, then their SIM card is blocked from internet access for 24 hours. Again, they are not warned that this can or will happen in advance.
To put this data limit (1GB) into perspective…. the advertised maximum speed of Globe Tattoo Broadband is 3Mb per second. This means that, at full speed, the user will exhaust their data usage (1Gb = 1024 Mb) within 6 minutes!!!
How can it be legal the Globe advertises and charges for “UNLIMITED” internet, when in fact, the maximum daily useage at advertised speed is a pathetic 6 minutes per 24 hours?????
Mace says:
wala ako masabi, daming reklamo. Nasa remote area ako ng Pilipinas at gamit ko Globe tattoo, sa totoo lang, ilang beses ng nadisconnect ito since kaninang nagstart akong mag surf, siguro paubos na rin load ko. Wala naman akong magagawa kasi mahina talaga dito, walang 3g kaya lang mas mabilis ang tattoo kumpara sa ibang products.
Nakakaantok nga eh, siguro mga 30-45 secs bago maopen ang site na gusto mo.

Erixxx says:
i am from Cebu, and went to Negros last week for a vacation, tried to use my Globe Tattoo but found out it was out of load, so I decided to use our postpaid sim card inside the Globe Tattoo USB, speed was slow, so i kept on connecting and disconnecting every few mins, and got continuous net later in the evening, for 2 days use, i spent around 3hrs of total net time. now i am billed P21,000 for my usage. WTF?!

juniper says:
Walang silbi yung sinasabi nilang SuperSurf 50 “unlimited” kuno for 24 hours!!! After kong mag-surf ng 23 hours, hindi na ko uli maka-register, sabi ng support nila, um-over daw usage ko, kaya gamitin ko na lang daw yung remaining na load ko. Tinatanong ko siya kung ano baseline at um-over ako ng usage, wala naman siyang maisagot sa akin. Itatapon ko na lang yung SIM ng Globe Tattoo, makalipat nga sa iba… Hehehe!
jeimy says:
Globe Broadband Tattoo sucks very very hard… Madalas ang ‘the connection was reset’ while nagsu-surf ako, it’s just so stupid na pabagsak-bagsak ang network nila. I also tried calling their customer service, pero naputol din lang ang linya, ang tanging narinig ko lang sa sa agent ‘Sir, sorry we’re having problems.’
jamster2 says:

stickybeak says:
Buy the cheapest HUAWEI brand broadband kit (USB donggle) then google/download V4mpire software. You can open-line the kit using the software. After unlocking the USB donggle you can then use whatever network (SMART, GLOBE or SUN) SIM you think gives the strongest signal.

Well… so Far I’ve haven’t tried the Tattoo yet, but since maraming negative comments ang tattoo I’ve switched to Sun , OK nmn signal sa Pasig , Rosario. bihirang umabot ng 2mbps and yet sa gabi mga 5 pm onwards nuknukan n ng bagal ung connection,maybe its because dumarami nga ung user, but they have to do something to maintain their product’s credibility.

Novelita Cavite says:
guys, comment ko doon sa new globe tatoo broadband nabili ko siya doon sa SM Bacoor
ok naman cya bilis naman dito sa area ng Novelita, Cavite malapit dito sa Municipal.
yong galing baclaran ng biyaheng cavite city yong mismong babaan ng Novelita. yong area jan ok naman ang signal ng globe tatoo broadband yong bagong release ngayon. try niyo then check niyo rin yong performance ng pc niyo or laptop, ang pina ka magandang gawin bago gamitin yong globe tatoo is new reformat na pc or laptop.
check niyo rin baka dami ng open connection yong pc niyo.
para doon sa mga naka experience na mabagal try niyo gamitin yon sa ibang desktop pc or laptop upang ma check if talagang yong area is mahina ang pickup ng signal.
ito ay na subukan ko lang sa mga oras ng gabi 10:30pm to 11:30pm.
sinubukan ko rin doon sa pasig area sharing two pc desktop and laptop using cross cable. ok naman ang signal hindi naman cya ganun kabilis tulad sa mga internet cafe normal lang yong bilis ng connection.

GLOBE TATOO SUCKS!!!! Ive had it for 3 weeks now and i regret buying it!!! Nakakaasar pa na till now todo promote pa din ang Globe sa Tatoo nila. Yes Pwede sa PC ang Globe, pero wag mo na pahirapn ang sarili mo. Imagine, 2am ako gumagamit ng Tatoo and 14kbps ang speed?! I live in QC Tsora.
Mag Smartbro ka na lang. I bought one last week…no regrets. May times na umaabot ng 19kbps to 30 kps ang smart, peru at least pag mga offpeak hours, nakaka 1mbps talaga cya. Ang Globe wala talagang kwenta! Tyambahan ang bilis…at pag tyumamba…mabagal pa din! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! GLOBE TATOO SUCKS BIGTIME!

David The King says:
To all,
I have a Globe Tattoo and its very slow. I tried it at Mandaluyong and Pasig, it sucks! But when I tried it at Pasay City when I visited a friend, it did pretty well. I don’t know why but if you are from Mandaluyong and Pasig, stay away from Globe Tattoo. I don’t have a Smartbro so I can’t compare the two. And its noisy too…..
Jose M says:
habang may promo bumuli ka mura ang globe tatoo pa openline mo 200.00 lang ang charge sa mga marunong mag-openline na try ko na ang sim ng smart or sun or globe walang problema kaya puwede gumamit ka ng simcard ng sun para mag internet.
Think Wisely !
Jose M says:
walang problema kung smart or globe ang usb modem mo. nasa service provider and may problema. para d masayang ang pera mo pa openline mo para kahit anong sim magagamit sa pag internet.

Globetattooreallysucks says:
Dude from Mandaluyong here.
Globe Tattoo? It feels like my P895 got flushed down the toilet. It’s promo price is very attractive but once you use it, you’ll facepalm yourself to eternity.
Yes, mas mabilis ang dial-up cards, Sun, and Smart wireless services than that of Globe’s – totally crap. Tumatakbo ang oras, wala kang masurf at madownload. Madalas pa magdisconnect with no apparent reason. Nakakabagal pa ng loadtimes ng rig nyo. Why, I was better off when I was still using PLDT’s myDSL. Tattoo should come with a warning: “Kids, don’t try this at home.”
Can I get a refund? Effing Globe robbed me P895. I hope them NPAs continue burning down their cellsites. Or, Sen. Enrile should blast Globe down to hell. Ang labas we’re paying good money for their crappy services.
Globetattoosucks says:
Same here. Bought globe tattoo but now am seriously considering switching to smartbro. I live near a globe cell site in bacoor cavite so I usually get 4-5 full bars on HSDPA,what sucks though is full bars nga sya, wala namang nada-download. waste of money and time.

jazzmine says:
Do not buy… you will regret it kasi napaka bagal no matter how you tweak or optimize your pc!
My niece bought one just a week ago dahil nasilaw dun sa promo nila na Php 895… ayun mas mabilis pa ang dial-up :(
Andrew says:
If i were you, don’t buy this Globe tattoo kit or even Smartbro kit USB broadband.
sobrang bagal, hindi ako maka pag browse, maka pag browse ka umaga 5-8AM lang dahil dun lang siya maasahan. full of crap, wag na kayo pa biktima sa ads nila, marketing strategy lang nila yan, minumurahan na nila dahil gusto nalang nila umakyan ang sales and profit nila. wala na silang good service.
just my two cents
silencer1987 says:
Some reasons kung bakit mabagal ang mga usb modems:
1. Locations
2. Down Network
3. Hindi na-maintain ang PC from temp files, kelangan ng TuneUp para pampabilis…
4. Noise, some frequency na pangpagulo..
Bakit kaya dami naninira d2 ng mga USB modems na mga ito? Sana sa Smart or Globe kayo magreklamo wag d2.. ^^,
bosyo says:
Globe Tattoo sucks balls! Mauubos nga load kaka-antay ng download and browsing. It’s a total rip off that the NTC should learn about. Globe’s ripping off people with this piece of sh*t product. Is there anyway I can get a refund on this piece of crap?
Simply Amazing says:
Mabilis daw yung globe lalo nasa quezon city…umaabot ng 3mbps yung signal..depende talga sa location..eh yung sun ba aabot ba yan ng probinsya eh di ba hindi dito lang sa metro manila…kaya mabilis yan kasi kunti pa yung nagamit…ang problema lang talaga ay yung signal masydong madamot magbigay ng signal.
Rei says:
Honestly Globe’s broadband services suck. And they don’t seem to be doing anything to improve it. I have both Globe visibility and Smart Bro USB kits, I’d rather stick with Smart Bro. Kahit na running on GPRS lang in remote areas without 3G signal, stable pa rin yung connection. Di pa ako nakakaexperience na madisconnect bigla for more than 2 years. Maganda lang sana kung palawakin pa nila yung 3G and 3.5G coverage nila.
I’ve also heard a lot of good things about sun’s broadband services (tsk…kinakain na talaga nang Globe ang alikabok ng Smart at Sun). Too bad sa metro manila lang yung coverage. Madalas pa naman ako bumyahe dahil sa work ko.
Greengem says:
useful ba talaga yung TCIP Optimizer. Saw this in CNET
wilz says:
taga legazpi city ako…ano recommend nio dito?sa mga taga legazpi din na naka try na…globe or smart?
Billcrusher says:
Correct. Globe Tatoo sucks. I just bought one yesterday because of the promo only to find out ubos na yung pre-loaded value e wala ka pa na-browse or na-download. Full bar ang 3G and 2G signal, not blinking blue or green yung signal indicator kaya by just seeing it, you’ll know that you have a strong signal. Pero what’s happening? Full signal pero 0.00kbps ang download rate?
Take note, may free 200 worth of prepaid cards for tatoo. So what do I get with these if I will have same experience with the pre-loaded value?
kamuteng kahoy says:
ha ha.. duds. poor yan. yung b933 globe broadband wireless ethernet ang nakaka yamot.. mga taga globe.. mamatay na kayo lahat…. palaging hsdpa ala naman data… ndi din pwede gamitin kapag umuulan at kidlat… putsa…. 995 / mo. cheeeeee.

wala ngang kakwenta kwenta ang animal na globe broadband….nasa tabi lang ng tower nito ang place ko super bagal pa rin….sayang lang ang pera ko sa globe tatoo….kailan ba makakarating ang sun broadband dito sa bataan?
Bullish Trader says:
So far, I’m not an advocate of usb broadband service as I’m a tech support for wireless for dell. Duh, even the US has not perfected this technology yet. I’m not discouraging those who wants to buy or those who have bought it. I know whats the really crap on these companies. So, I’m not buying one.
For practicality, go to malls with free wifi access. Here in SM City Cebu, mallwide na ung wifi. So, get advantage of those. When traveling, just use ur phone nalang!
It’s not worth buying the usbs.
So far, coffee shops got wifi connections. Un nga lang if you’re traveling out from the city, just use ur 3g phones!

sa mga gustong bumili ng Globe Broadband Tattoo masasayang lang ang pera nyo, sobrang bagal… im here in metro sun is so goooooooooooooooooooooood ang bilis then kahit yung prepaid mu ginamit mu, tapos disconnect ganun pa rin yung load mu, hindi agad nabababawasan unlike smart and globe, at saka ang mura na load meron pang 50 for 6 hours, maganda na mura pa ang load, kaya wag nang magpatumpik tumpik pa, nakakasiguro ka sa sun broadband pag andito ka sa metro. bili na kayo ng sun broadband nyo…..

gosh, how could i sell my old one? I won’t even promote interested parties to buy this friggin Globe tattoo kit. It sucks.
jill says:
@GreenGem:
Snooty issuer. Hmmn. I usually give those scum a good tongue lashing. I had three last week:
1. over made-up bantay of the SM Record Bar. maputi ang mukha, brown ang leeg.
2. over-jelled hair guard of Smart Center. maybe he didn’t know any better.
3. pandak girl at CDR-King. ang tapang pa ng pabango.
GreenGem says:
Another idea: May be Smart or Sun could do broadband swap. Same thing they did with sim cards before. :)
GreenGem says:
I’m not satisfied with Globe Tattoo. Sobrang bagal, and napuputol pa. So di maximized yung load mo.
Actually, we got this bundled with a Compaq laptop at HP Trinoma. I had some experiences that possibly complemented the Tattoo experience.
1. One month delayed na ini-issue. Out of stock daw.
2. Masungit na issuer.
I hope Globe would do something about it.
Allan says:
Nakarating na ba sa globe mga comment nyo?
Or depende talaga sa location ng user ang problema or sa gadget na gamit..
sino opera mini users dito?
Kapag hirap kayo sa pagbrowse use this apps to you laptop..
noemi says:
I tell you. Globe Tattoo sucks big time. Am not putting Globe down just their tattoo. My globe broadband works fine at home. I love my duo landline service so anyway….
We have two netbooks at home with two different tattoo SIMS. The HP mini comes with tattoo USB while the Dell has built in for mobile internet SIM. Both showed dismal results. Took almost 15 minutes just for gmail to open. Tested in Cebu too and Laguna, and ugh mas mabilis pa iphone 3g ko. What gives? why does my iphone 3g download faster than the tattoo 3g? Do they have special ports for iphone and tattoo users?
I am now using smart 3g via phone modem and am very happy with the speed in almost any place in metro manila.
And most of my friends are now using smart bro after I told them about my experience. They have no regrets.
Globe Tattoo needs to fix their internet connection before going full blast with their promotions.
manu says:
And to sum it up….since im from Manila, its much advisable to wait until SUNs price drop. Thanks for the information guys.
ACL says:
Globe Tatoo is the the worst among the 3 providers for USB Boradband services. Full bar na HSDPA pero di ka makaconnect! Nasa Ortigas na ako which is Globe dominated. Walang kwenta talaga. Dinala ko yung modem dun sa QC and within visual distance of a cell site pero wala pa rin.
Wag kayo padadala sa commercial.
Payong kaibigan lang, stay away from Globe.
jill says:
Over Smart, you’ll save a few pesos here at least. Not just on the dongle itself but on the time charging as well. Smart charges 10pesos/30 min., Globe charges 5pesos/15 min. These minimum charges apply when you go over at even a fraction of these time blocks.
And that’s about it. Sorry guys, Globe wins. As for reliability, read above posts.
beachgal says:
globe tattoo sucks big time! Our company provided us with this tattoo broadband (postpaid) and really very slow!!! bad trip sobra!
Vance says:
Nothing beats Sun hehe when it comes to package deal. For existing sun users: P699 – unlimited 3G internet, for non existing Sun users, 189x (during week days) then weekend promo: 159x for the modem and then 799 per month. Compared to other networks meter/capped plans aside from paying the modem.

wish ko lang magkaroon ng retractable antenna yung nilalabas nilang usb modem… kya mas mganda pa rin yung smart bro share it wifi router.

Oks ito boss Abe. Pababa nang pababa ang presyo. Mamaya 50 pesos na lang iyan. Parang sim. Hehehe =)
nanayMo says:
Lower prices mean more people buying, which lead to more users of their already overtaxed lines. Higher revenues to the telcos, higher aggavation for us. It’s that simple.
Yes, we should learn to live with it as in all things in this country for lack of something better.
Copping out? No, just being real.
Raymund says:
Price drop of modems is a good thing…. now internet can really be “almost” at anyone’s fingertips. I just hopw that the services will also improve.
Without improvement in services like bandwidth and the like, this will just mean additional load to their already loaded networks.

unlocked my Smart Bro MF627 and tried GLOBE…. Globe compresses the images and therefore the quality of images sucks…
I’m sticking with SMART BRO…
Kung may SUN lang sana dito sa PANAY…
Kenneth says:
Another great news that I might had overlooked again. I wonder will Sun catch up with the two top networks? It’s been ages since I’ve been hearing the same reasons that their internet packages using a USB modem is ONLY available in the Metro.
The Teknisyan says:
this is what competition is all about.. since we now have 3 players in the wireless connection market, they’ll try to out do each other by lowering down their price. I’m sure sun will follow suit, now that we see their promotions in every tv station. I sure wish someone will comeup with a prepaid.. DSL/cable connection. I’m sure this will surely be a hit to all consumer. Image… a DSL connection that you can regulate..
Cheftonio says:
Kaya pala mejo bumagal sun kasi gusto ng karamihan. Haha. In anyway, pinakasulit ang sun broadband as of the moment.
For more than a year, evangelist ako ng globe until naging bulok services nila. Check out my blog for feedbacks. Also checkout broadbandph.blogspot.com
That blog also contains testimonials of globes cr@ppy services.
Nadya says:
This is great news for people who hasnt purchase this yet. I was one of those people who got the expensive ones. Hehehe. Well, I hope they will have unlimited na. :P
Nadya says:
This is great news! More people will purchase globe tattoo. Sana they will also have unlimited :P
Reel Advice says:
Lower prices mean more users with already clogged networks! Thanks Smart and Globe! Bravo once more!

really frustrating, but we have to live with it… Ayoko nga! Hehe
Num Lock says:
They should advertise honestly regarding sa speed ng Smart Bro particularly sa Samar, di kame makapag-webcam. Instead of making beautiful designs in their usb kits, why won’t make their speed better anywhere in the country.
Ric says:
While I agree that lowering prices are great, I would prefer if these telcos deliver on their promised speeds and coverage. Doing that alone will have customers knocking at their door instead of them trying all these marketing and ad gimmicks. Word of mouth alone should keep their business flourishing as long as they maintain quality of service.
I just bought a Smart Bro prepaid for 995 and I would have gladly paid for the original price rather than getting it this cheap with lousy speeds in return.
Bachan says:
mabilis naman un hacked na internet ng tattoo ah haha. sarap magbrowse ng libre
Albert King says:
I’m on smartbro and so far only few instances that it failed me. D ko pa nasubok ang Tattoo kung okay. Anybody who can give me feedback on Tattoo?
gadgetlover says:
ano sa tingin niyo mas maganda?
I’ll be looking forward for that GLOBE kit.
But some says mas maganda ang SMART BRO…
ano kaya??
ruel says:
bad trip na naman ang signal quality na binabato ng globe sa usb modem ko.. full bar HSDPA nga pero 0.00kbps naman anf download rate.. nak ng tokwa grrrr
Edgar says:
Location and mode of connection must be big factors. I’m in Davao and on SmartBro prepaid which is usually slow, but its speed picks up in areas where 3G is available. I think it goes for all providers, since some of my friends who are on Globe have similar experiences.
But it’s true that disconnections actually happen, so you have to reconnect and be charged anew.
Really frustrating, but we have to live with it.
kerov7 says:
ok ang smart. mabilis! given the fact that iv tried it in panay, negros and north zambo.. mejo mahal lang.. gusto ko sana mag try ng iba. kaso pang metro manila lang yata eh! no choice. hehe.
Charles says:
Nagmura yan kasi super pangit ng service, yan ang pinakamabagal na broadband ko! Nag auto-log off yung yahoo messenger, hindi makatapos ng downloads, hindi ka rin pwede mag open ng maraming tabs, for some reason kapag heavy ka mag internet, nag auto downgrade sya from hsdpa/wcdma to edge!
Tapos madalas ma disconnect sa area namen sa Quezon City! At pag nag reconnect ka additional charge na agad! I have SmartBro and Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband and they lead by a huge margin compared to Globe’s piece of Sh*t!
boo says:
kamusta naman ang performance nito sa OSX SL?
Oni says:
wait n lang ako mag drop ang price ng sun para bumili nito dami kc negative comments sa globe and smart kktakot bumili baka masayang lang pera ko eh ngayon p naman mahirap ang buhay
jojo uy says:
sir Yuga, how bout a poll on mobile broadband internet access >?
Anonym says:
ang SUN Broadband ang pinakamabiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis na 3G internet sa Metro Manila. I trusted SUN in my downloads. If they say up to 3Mbps then its true.
Ang SUN din ang may pinakamurang load. 50pesos for 6hours of internet.
Stay Away sa Globe Tattoo. Mauubos load nyo if your in prepaid kahit di kayo makapag browse.
Di ko pa na try SMART Bro.
Bachan says:
gumagana ba tong tattoo sa win7?
cornflakes says:
SUN -> wala kasing signal nun dito sa antipolo. sa ibang parts meron, pero dito samin wala.

may himala yung globe broadband ko. dl ko sa torrent ryt now is 216/kbps =D
whaâ„¢ says:
whoa. sudden drop of prices??? clog services…
sucks…
Cutemoboy says:
SUN ang pinaka mabiles sa metro manila walang duda
Tiyo Paeng says:
This is very informative blog, thanks for this info. Actually this is what my kids asking for. I will inform immediately to my kids that they will gonna have to buy for each of them.
Cheftonio says:
If i were u, id stay away from globe tattoo, globe visbility or globe broadband. Yun lang advice ko.
cornflakes says:
I want to buy those USB 3G kits, co’z my Globe Broadband always fails me.
So, sino sa 2 mas maganda? and mas mura ang load?
Cutemoboy says:
Wow this is Awesome! gusto ko SMART BRO KIT PARA SURE MY SIGNAL NATIONWIDE…
SANA UNG SUN SUMUNOD NA REN PARA BIBILI DIN AKO MAS MABILIS DAW SABE NILA SA METRO….
John Ray Cabrera says:
following the path where the SmartBro leads, price slash downs like these are really beneficial to Filipinos.
Rome says:
Wow this is great news. Following a price drop of Smart Bro to P995, here comes a cheaper Globe tattoo. How about Sun? Wish they can also come up with cheaper browsing packages.
