Samsung Galaxy S3 Plans and Price on Globe

The other day, I went to a SMART store and ask a rep about the iPad and to which they said “Ano po ? The iPad by samsung ?” And I fucking laughed. That was utterly hilarious. Basically they don’t even know what an iPad is. I changed the talk point then about their future LTE network for the iPad and her mouth was all about if the iPad is capable of running a smart bro stick. I left the store without any word. All I can think was what the fuck.

@all hehe, may idea ako kung ano meron sa smart, siguro may mangilan ngilan na medyo hindi techie o kulang sa performance tulad ng mga nakausap nyo.. Pero ang alam ko dyan, karamihan ng employees ay from Ateneo or DLSU :D

At isa sila sa may pinaka ok na compensation na Filipino company, 18-21 months at “FULL” medical coverage sa employee… Full as in full, na kahit 1 million gastusin mo sa hospital, sagot ni Boss Manny Pangilinan yan..

E yung Globe? hehe na lang :D

Unlock? yes unlock is possible on all android devices. You just need to root your phone to a desired Rom that you want, careful ka nga lang sa pagroot as you may brick your phone if mali2x ung Rom na ni root mo. Problem is your warranty will be void. :)

Globe’s postpaid internet is not capped. DUH.

Ermm ok. I have an iPad 2 that runs on a smart plan and an iPhone 4 that runs on globe prepaid. Why the flying fuck would I bother using globe as my daily tool on connecting online ? I don’t even get that much signal here and it likely stays on like 2 to dropping off. If you hate me very much, choke your heart out. Besides, I can take whatever network I like. Why the hate ? You don’t even know me.

In technical terms (as opposed to be at odds with such utter waste of time layman’s) –

Smart’s network is better in a way that

1. It supports 3G and HSPA+ 850/2100 dual band in contrary to globe (which only runs on a 2100 Mhz band). If your AT&T phone is to be brought here, smart can support it ! Note that the 850 band can stretch very far as opposed to the 2100 band.
2. Smart network is better as their speeds theoritically support maximums of 27.8 Mbit/s and capped at 20 Mbit/s in advertising calls. Whereas globe’s current infrastructure supports up to 21 Mbit/s as said by a globe technician that works on their own phone towers.
3. Smart’s LTE network is dual band 800/2100. Their systems can generate LTE speeds of up to 75 Mbit/s. An insinuation of the fact that it will support the iPad’s LTE card and the Lumia 900 (LTE version) even though I’m pretty sure they will shut up about it ! Globe’s LTE is to be confirmed that it runs on the 2800 Mhz band which can barely penetrate on walls.
4. Globe’s said LTE network is to be released on Q2 2013 whilst smart’s is ongoing now for testing on Davao, Cebu, and Metro Manila quietly albeit not commercially called as “online”.
6. Smart’s leaked inventories have hinted that they will tote enough LTE phones here that can prop up mobile LTE speeds of up to 7 Mbit/s.
7. Nokia, the world’s leading mobile phone giant, relies on smart’s network for their phones and apparently in favour of the said network (as the Lumia 900, 710, and 610 will be exclusively on them). Although it be that, you can still buy it open line and not subsidised, yeah ?

Very well. Notwithstanding that, I don’t hate globe that much like you have bashed me with your loafer’s words and shoving it all down my fucking throat. I have used both networks, I always travel ! I can tell that smart is better for me because of what my encounters. Freedom of speech, ever heard of that ? You mister, are pathetic. If you tend to reply with another claptrap comment to be at variance with this, I will laugh thinking the fact that you’re are utterly fucking irreplaceable and one of those dumb cunts who always speak without even thinking.

I have unlimited data. The only snag about smart is its lack of 3G signal on some places…

Im assuming that 64gb is around 37k, baka meron magflame mamaya eh. kaya ngpost ako..lol

Thank you so much for the response Lazh. So ganun pala yun. Mura pala ang cashout dahil P16,800 lang. Mukhang maganda nga ang postpaid plan offers ng Globe para sa Samsung Galaxy S III. Sigurado ako maraming magpe-preorder sa kanila nito. Magpe-preorder na rin ako.

yung unli surf plan 999 pag sinabing no consumable, ibig sabihin lahat ng hindi pasok sa package ng plan (eg. call/text sa smart) automatic regular charge na yun? Medyo naguluhan lang kasi ako sa no consumable thingy na yun. Sorry… Haven’t applied for postpaid kasi before.

I was hoping someone had the unit already and feedback on its performance.

But thanks for the info Brutus.

There are freebies:
Plan 999 – 1 freebie
Plan 1799 – 3 freebies
Plan 2499 – 5 freebies
Plan 3799 – 7 freebies

Back to your question: You will have 3 freebies and 800 consumable per month.

Say, galaxy s ii ? Regular sim. Whilst the galaxy s iii uses a micro sim.

sorry typo error..does samsung galaxy s III requires a micro sim or just a regular sim?
