Affordable and Longer Roaming Services from Globe as Japan reopens doors, S. Korea resumes Tourist Visa Application

With the COVID-19 pandemic over, it’s time to get back into exploring! Globe Roaming has your data plans ready so that you can go abroad without worrying about connectivity. They offer 3-day or 30-day stays depending on what works best for traveling light but also want heavy users who need more than just text messages while they’re away from home – like video calls with family members through their high-speed internet package (5GBp per hour).

Japan is now accepting travelers from the Philippines, which is among the 98 “blue” countries, whose travelers are no longer required to get tested or quarantined for COVID-19 upon arrival. For those traveling to Japan, Globe is currently offering 5G services through SoftBank.

You can also start applying for a short-term tourist visa to visit your favorite K-pop paradise, South Korea, where Globe is offering 4G and 5G roaming services through SK Telecom and KT Corp. 

“The world is gradually opening up two years since the pandemic put travel on hold. More Filipinos are now opting to spend more time in other countries to make up for lost time in terms of travel, and they will be on the lookout for the safest and most convenient way to stay connected. As they explore the world once again, Globe will be with them and deliver data roaming that’s within their reach, even for longer travel periods,” 

said Coco Domingo, Vice President, Globe Postpaid and International Business.

As Filipinos prepare to maximize their trips abroad, Globe has introduced discounted data roaming called Roam Surf Longer Stay.  You can now enjoy more gigabytes for more days while spending less. 

Simply choose from 3, 5, 7, 15 or 30-day offers which come with 3GB up to 20GB data, and get up to 50% off (vs the daily Roam Surf rate). 

To avail of Roam Surf Longer Stay, simply dial *143# and press the call button. And then do the following steps:

• For Postpaid, choose Roaming & Intl > Roaming > Data Promos

If you’re a Postpaid subscriber, it is best to subscribe to a Globe data roaming pack a few hours prior to your departure from the Philippines. If you wish to use Roam Surf 399, no prior registration is required. You just need to turn on your mobile data and data roaming upon landing at your country of destination.

•  For Prepaid, choose MyAccount > Roaming & Intl > Roaming > Data Promos

• For TM, choose Roam > Data Roaming Promos

Remember to subscribe first before turning on mobile data and data roaming on your phone in a foreign country. 

This easy-to-use roaming service not only becomes more affordable the longer you are abroad but is also very convenient.  You can safely connect from your phone without lugging around another device such as a pocket WiFi or buying a local SIM. 

Roam Surf Longer Stay is meant for cross-country travels as it is currently available in over 70 countries worldwide. Longer Stay promos also give you bigger savings the longer you use it,” 

Domingo said.

Globe is all set to provide connectivity requirements for Filipino tourists with the expected surge in global travel.  Despite strict travel restrictions during the height of the global health crisis, Globe accelerated its roaming rollout, particularly 5G, to more countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe as part of its commitment to deliver a #1stWorldNetwork.

This innovative service is part of Globe’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which highlight the roles of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development under SDG No. 9.
