Globe Tattoo Prepaid drops to Php895

following the path where the SmartBro leads, price slash downs like these are really beneficial to Filipinos.

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?

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.

whoa. sudden drop of prices??? clog services…
sucks…

gumagana ba tong tattoo sa win7?

sir Yuga, how bout a poll on mobile broadband internet access >?

kamusta naman ang performance nito sa OSX SL?

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.

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

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?

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.

really frustrating, but we have to live with it… Ayoko nga! Hehe

Lower prices mean more users with already clogged networks! Thanks Smart and Globe! Bravo once more!

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

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..

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…

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.

bakit hindi ninyo isipin bakit mura ng printer pero mahal ng ink? same analogy so i think this is expected.

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

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.

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.

And to sum it up….since im from Manila, its much advisable to wait until SUNs price drop. Thanks for the information guys.

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..

Another idea: May be Smart or Sun could do broadband swap. Same thing they did with sim cards before. :)

gosh, how could i sell my old one? I won’t even promote interested parties to buy this friggin Globe tattoo kit. It sucks.

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…..

what prepaid broadbands works best in cebu? i’ll be staying in lahug for the next 7 days and i want to make sure which of these prepaid broadband svc provider works best in that area… help pls!

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!

DON’T BE FOOLED WITH THE LOWERED PRICE!!!!!
my brother is really pissed-off with this broadband tattoo…waste of his money! which makes us think that the reason why they lowered the price is because it sucks…

ganun po ba? naku! bibili na sana me tomoro ni2, buti nlng nabasa ko to..thanks guyz huh..

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.

taga legazpi city ako…ano recommend nio dito?sa mga taga legazpi din na naka try na…globe or smart?

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.

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?

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

this is sooo frustrating! letse talaga tng globe broadband na to. kakainis talaga!!! ala kwenta. ubos ang 1 hour mo, d ka pa nakakapag bukas ng website. sayang ang perang pinambili dito pati yung mga load nila. ang useful lang kahit pano is yung txt service nila. hayyyy!!! wag kayo maniwala sa commercial

Bad Trip. Super bagal ng Globe Tattoo…..

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.

im frpm pasay which broadban service will be better, help pls.

i love SMART BRO…wla yang tattoo nyo..an pangit naman.. subrang bagal..

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.

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…..

yeah, bulok talaga globe tattoo. i experienced auto-logout sa ym, di maka login sa ym, bagal ng download, kahit naka connect sya at the speed of 3.6mbps (daw ah)pero 0kbps ang upload and download rate. di lang yun, check ko yun connection log ko, nagamit ko lang for 1hr, 40pesos na kaltas sa load ko. buti na lang i got for free lang with 300pesos load. came with purchase of asus mini-laptop.

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.

kakabili ko lang ng globe tatto..S*** walan signal dito sa batangas..sayang ang pera.. pa any-anywhere pa sila..sus

ok naman signal sa padre garcia batangas ng Globe Tattoo. Free lang pag bumili ka ng Laptop ng Acer. Ive been using it for a month and once pa lang ako nakaexperience ng bumagal connection. laging 3 mbps connection ko.

ok naman po ang globe broadband 2 weeks ko ng ginagamit mula ng binili ko,naka unlimited 1 day po ako ung SUPERSURF50.mabilis namn xa at hnd naman nangangain ng load.baka nasa inyo ang may problema.

PEDE BANG MAGKA VIRUS ANG MGA KIT NA YAN PAG LIPAT-LIPAT NA GAMITAN HALIMBAWA FROM LAPTOP TO ANOTHER LAPTOP, KUNG YUNG ISANG LAPTOP MY VIRUS?

tae…di ako makaSUPERSURF. hindi nagrereply sakin ang 8888..>.<
di ko alam kung bakit!

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.

Parang ayuko na bumili ng globe tatto usb modem..ang daming negative comments….anyway bakit sa website nila P.1499 parin ang price..?

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!

I’m living in nosthern caloocan, m.m., near san jose del monte, bulacan, i would say i’m quite dis-appointed with my smart broadband, thats why, i’m looking for a better alternative. some say wi-tribe is good.
PS: Glenn- correction! ayala zobel are families that has no filipino blood.

puchha!!!! saksakan ng bagal internet connection d2 sa bulacan!!!! wah…, pucha talga sayang bili ko ng tatoo kit!!!

>>ndi ko na alam kong ano pipiliin ko!!

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?????

PUTANGINA!
WALANG KWENTA TO>
PUKING INA NYO GLOBE
WASTE OF MONEY

1WORD = CRAP!

MULA 1 GIG NAGING 800 MB.
YAN ANG SUPERSURF50.
UNLIMITED KUNO.
ANO REACT
NYO?
