The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on Friday approved Globe Telecom Inc.'s mobile internet plans, allowing the country's second-largest phone firm to offer mobile internet service to its postpaid subscribers permanently.
Under Globe's mobile surfing plans, the company offered monthly subscriptions starting from P149, which provides 10 hours of mobile internet service, P399 (30 hours), and P799 (60 hours).
Globe has also provided postpaid plans for users of the BlackBerry smartphone starting from P700 for 5 megabytes of data usage, P850 (8 MB), and P1100 (10 MB).
According to Globe, all these rates are offered to new and existing Globe postpaid subscribers as an add-on to their monthly plan subscription. The rates took effect on Wednesday, April 22, two days before the NTC approved Globe's application.
"The mobile Internet plans are packages with lower rates of mobile Internet service for Globe postpaid subscribers. These are not stand-alone plans as these can be availed only as an add-on to a Globe postpaid plan," the company said in its application to the NTC.
