Globe Telecom has introduced the All-New GPlan PLUS, a postpaid subscription package designed to offer subscribers enhanced flexibility and control over their monthly mobile plans. This innovative offer allows customers to customise their plans at any time, setting it apart from traditional fixed contracts. The GPlan PLUS is available in variants ranging from 599 to 2499 Philippine Pesos, with contract periods of both 12 and 24 months. Subscribers can manage their allowances and convert them into a variety of benefits directly through the GlobeOne app.
The plan inclusions cover a broad spectrum of digital needs, including call and text promos, unlimited data, access to mobile games, and usage of social media and messaging applications. Furthermore, subscribers may choose content subscriptions from partners such as BeIN Sports, Vivamax, Disney+, and Crunchyroll. For those interested in lifestyle and shopping benefits, vouchers from Lazada, Zalora, Pick.A.Roo, Lalamove, and Parlon are also selectable options. A standout feature of the GPlan PLUS is the ability to convert call and text allowances into additional gigabytes of data. This "Data Swap" functionality ensures that subscribers can maximise the value of their plan by preventing unused allowances from going to waste.
The GPlan PLUS is offered in two distinct formats: SIM-only or bundled with some of the latest devices on the market. The device bundles are reportedly priced lower than the standard retail price. When customers apply for a new plan or renew an existing one, the process is designed to be seamless. Additionally, for plans priced at 799 and above, subscribers unlock full control via the GlobeOne app, allowing them to swap inclusions. This includes the ability to switch from standard calls and texts to perks like Unli 5G, unlimited access to specific apps, and vouchers from Disney+ and GrabUnlimited.
Types of Globe Postpaid Plans
Globe categorises its postpaid offerings into three main types to suit different lifestyles and usage patterns: Globe Plan with device, GPlan SIM-only, and GPlan Plus. The GPlan Plus is highlighted as the star offering for 2025, featuring all-new capabilities that allow users to adjust their monthly plan, convert calls to data (or vice versa), and secure extra gigabytes by committing to longer contracts. Higher tiers of the GPlan Plus also include perks such as free content subscriptions.
The "All-New GPlan" lineup covers budgets from low to high. Standard inclusions across most plans include unlimited all-net texts and calls, although entry-level plans may have exceptions. A significant benefit is that data allowances roll over for up to two months. Management of the plan is handled through the GlobeOne app.
Specific entry points for the GPlan Plus include: * GPlan PLUS 599: The entry-level choice, offering 5GB of data, 100-minute calls, and 100 texts. It allows for the addition of a device with a small cash-out and is recommended for light users. * GPlan PLUS 799: This tier provides 10GB of data, unlimited calls and texts, and a free three-month subscription to 5G. It can be paired with budget phones. * Globe Postpaid Plan 999: This plan includes 15GB of data and unlocks the Data Swap feature.
For users seeking a traditional device bundle, the "GPlan with Device" option is available. This bundles a phone with the mobile service, allowing the user to pay monthly for both. It is suitable for those wanting a new gadget, such as iPhones or Samsung models, without the full upfront cost. Cash-out options vary by plan. The 24-month contract plans specifically come with a choice of available smartphones. A notable benefit is that after the contract expires, users who remain with Globe may be eligible for another phone.
Globe Platinum Plans are also available for individuals with higher paying capacity. These plans offer free high-end and limited edition smartphones that are not available in the regular Postpaid Plans.
Application Process and Requirements
Globe facilitates the application process by allowing customers to apply online via their website. The process generally involves four steps: 1. Select The Postpaid Plan: Users choose between ThePLAN PLUS (which comes with larger data) or ThePLAN (which comes with a brand new electronic device). It is noted that ThePLAN PLUS comes with a 6-month contract only. 2. Add The Product To The Cart: Once the plan is selected, the user clicks "Add to Cart," checks the plan details, and chooses between delivery to their doorstep or in-store pickup before proceeding to checkout. 3. Fill Out the Application Form: Users must input all required information. To expedite processing, it is recommended to submit digital formats of the ID, Proof of Billing, and Proof of Income online. 4. Finalize Your Order: The application concludes with a confirmation window.
Alternatively, applications can be lodged by calling the hotline or visiting a Globe Business Center personally. To fast-track the application, specific documentary requirements are needed: * Proof of Identity: A valid ID containing the photo, complete name, and signature. Accepted IDs include Valid Passport, Company ID, Valid Driver’s License, SSS/GSIS/TIN ID, and PRC/IBP ID. * Proof of Billing Address: A document under the applicant's name representing the latest issued copy. Accepted documents include an ID with address, public utility bills (electric, water, or cable), notarized contract of lease, or airway bill. * Proof of Income: Documents required to prove the capability to pay the monthly obligation.
Additional requirements may be requested if deemed necessary by Globe. All listed documents are subject to change.
Plan Inclusions and Benefits
Standard Globe Postpaid plans come with a subscription that includes free calls and texts every month. Specifically, Globe provides unlimited calls to Globe and TM subscribers, as well as unlimited text messages to all networks. This removes the need to count minutes or texts to avoid extra charges.
Postpaid contracts also come with a free data allocation, valid for a whole month, suitable for checking emails or playing mobile games. The postpaid nature of the line ensures auto-renewing convenience, eliminating the need to register repeatedly to enjoy unlimited services and data allocations.
Freebies and Promotional Offers
Globe Postpaid plans frequently come with special bonuses and services. Current promotional offers may include freebies such as free Spotify Premium, DisneyLife, and movie tickets via GMovies. Additionally, there is a current offer providing free Ekobuds Lifestones 2 earphones with every application made online.
For the GPlan PLUS, the flexibility extends to redeeming eGift vouchers from brands like Rustan’s and Grab using Globe Rewards points. The ability to redeem content subscriptions from partners like BeIN Sports, Vivamax, Disney+, and Crunchyroll, and lifestyle vouchers from Lazada, Zalora, Pick.A.Roo, Lalamove, and Parlon, serves as a significant value-add.
Network and Service Quality
The All-New GPlan PLUS is marketed as being powered by the Philippines’ most consistent network. The service aims to provide steady connectivity without the need for reloading, which is a standard benefit of postpaid plans.
Payment Convenience
Subscribers have multiple options for paying their monthly service fees. Payments can be made at Payment Centres, online using a credit card, or via GCash. This flexibility eliminates the need for long queues at payment centres.
Conclusion
Globe Telecom’s GPlan PLUS represents a significant shift towards customisation in the Philippine postpaid market. By allowing subscribers to swap allowances for data, content subscriptions, or lifestyle vouchers via the GlobeOne app, the plan offers a "DIY" approach that aims to prevent waste and maximise value. Whether a user prefers a SIM-only arrangement for maximum flexibility or a device bundle for a new handset, Globe provides tiered options starting from Plan 599 up to Plan 2499. The application process is streamlined for online users, requiring standard proof of identity, billing, and income documents. With added incentives such as free device cash-outs, roll-over data, and promotional freebies like earphones or content subscriptions, the GPlan PLUS caters to a wide range of digital lifestyles.
