Globe Tattoo Micro-SIM for iPad and iPhone 4 Now Available - How to Use with Globe Unlimited Data Plan
Keep those pairs of scissors in the drawer. Thanks to Globe, iPad owners now don't have to cut regular sized SIM cards to fit the slate's micro-SIM card slot.
Hardcore gadget geeks who have managed to snag the much-awaited Apple iPad 3G now have the perfect mate for their device: The first-ever Micro-SIM available only from Globe Tattoo, a power-surfer’s ticket to a no-holds-barred web experience. Anytime you’re on the move with the Globe Micro-SIM and your IPad 3G, you can browse the internet, send email and instant messages, and virtually chat with online pals, day or night.
Designed especially for use in tablet devices like the iPad 3G, the Globe Micro-SIM is powered by a new Unlimited Data Plan exclusively available from Globe Tattoo. The Unlimited Plan is a pure data plan ideal for daylong browsing so you can constantly tweet, update your status, email and post photos or videos whenever the mood strikes you, all for only P 999 a month.
Now there’s no need to take scissors to a standard SIM card to make it fit into the iPad SIM card slot. Globe’s spanking-new Micro-SIM is small enough to fit the iPad 3G and hook you up to Globe’s wireless 3G network so you can seamlessly cyber-surf anywhere in the Philippines.
Manny Escosa, Head of Globe Tattoo, explains, "The Globe Micro-SIM is our nod to the gadget lovers out there who want the richest online experience they can get on their iPad 3G. And since the Micro-SIM is powered by our new Unlimited Data plan, it’s now a snap for iPad fans to get Globe-connected and get the best possible browsing experience."
A handy tip for newbies: If you’ve got the iPad in your hands and are wondering how you can easily distinguish the iPad 3G from the Wi-Fi-only model, just check the back of the device; if there’s a black strip at the top, you’re holding the 3G model which is a perfect fit for Globe’s Unlimited Data plan.
So if you’ve already got your iPad 3G and you’re dying to take it for a spin, drop by any Globe store to get on the net. Grab your Globe Tattoo Micro-SIM and sign up for the Globe Unlimited Data Plan for just P999, or if prepaid is your ticket to online bliss, you can get Globe’s Micro-SIM for just P 50.00 and start surfing for P 5.00 for every 15 minutes.

This promotional ad by Globe is a big joke.
ReplyDeleteI dropped by several Globe stores and as of today (June 25, 2010), the microsim is only available in unlimited plan but the equally advertised prepaid microsim is "unheard" of by Globe staff I approached.
It's funny, you can try calling the Globe customer hotline and they have not heard of the microsim, as if I invented a product and making a fool out of these noob CSRs! Haha!
Globe should stop advertising as if their product line is available already. Because at the moment, it smacks of marketing gimmick, pure and simple! This is very annoying and such a waste of time.
I agree with my fellow Anonymous peer up there. lol! There is a cutter in sulit that is capable of cutting existing sim cards and shape them into microsim.
ReplyDeleteI dont like the 3g service of Globe. Sooooooobrang bagal. if 990 per month sana they throw in the ipad na rin.
Yes Globe’s pre-paid Micro-SIM is a joke. I dropped by several Globe business centers last week and they said they only have it in the unlimited plan....kainis.
ReplyDeletewhat about the speed..is it fast is it ok or is it slow?
