Telecom giant Globe (www.globe.com.ph) has launched Surf4ALL, a data offer across Globe brands with high GBs for all sites and a shareable allocation that can be accessed by up to four devices. The data can be shared across Globe Prepaid, Globe Postpaid, Globe Platinum, Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi and even TM.
Available through the GlobeOne app, Surf4ALL has two promos—Surf4ALL99, which gives you 9GB of shareable data, and Surf4ALL249, which has 20GB shared access (15GB + 5GB limited-time bonus data). Both offers are valid for seven days. It’s the only data product of its kind in the Philippines, said Globe.
“Surf4All gives Filipinos control on how they use their data. Our aim is to recreate the Christmas we all love. We take to heart our role in renewing the spirit of connectedness within the Filipino family especially at a time when most of us stay within the confines of our homes,” said Ernest Cu, Globe president and CEO during this year’s Wonderful World of Globe which was held online for the first time ever.
Meanwhile, as online shopping continues to surge in popularity, 917Ventures, the largest corporate incubator in the Philippines, teamed up with Puregold to create PureGo, an online grocery shopping platform that delivers groceries to one’s doorstep with a next day promise using multiple payment options including GCash.
Globe has partnered with Riot for special data offers for League of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile version of the highly-popular League of Legends.
With the continuous expansion of Globe’s 5G service, Globe subscribers can expect more innovations and partnerships. One of these will come from Globe’s partnership with Niantic, the first Southeast Asian telco member of the Niantic Planet-Scale AR Alliance. Globe will give its subscribers bigger and better immersive gaming experiences powered by Niantic’s advanced AR real-world platform that will push the boundaries of what can be experienced in a Niantic game with 5G technology.
Globe has also launched an official partnership with YouTube VR to enable users to watch and explore VR content in-app through the affordable yet effective Globe VR cardboard. Another new partnership is with HBO Go, where Globe customers can watch thousands of hours of shows and movies any time anywhere using their connected device.
Filipinos can stream or download HBO Originals, HBO Asia Originals, Korean and Chinese dramas, Hollywood blockbusters, hundreds of hours of kids and family content and more, including Sam Mendes’ war film 1917, Spider-Man: Far From Home starring Tom Holland, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears: The Movie.
Globe has also teamed up with Kumu, a live streaming platform where users can watch local and global user-generated Pinoy lifestyle content and digital content partners like GKNB (Game Ka Na Ba?), a gamified FYE (For Your Entertainment) focused on celebrity streams, talk shows, variety content and MYXPH for music. Kumu will also add game streaming channels into their mix as part of their offerings on the platform.
Meanwhile, GCash brings to life Filipinos’ beloved Christmas traditions with ChristMAS KAYA with GCash, where celebrations and gift-giving are made possible through innovations, like GCash Send Aguinaldo, enabling users to send digital gift envelopes as aguinaldos to their inaanaks and pamangkins, and even gifting insurance through the app’s GInsure service. In the same spirit of giving and bayanihan, Globe customers may also donate to typhoon victims using GCash and their Globe Rewards points.
GLife, the newest GCash app feature, likewise, provides more gift and handaan options across different brands and e-commerce platforms, ranging from Lazada, Puregold, DataBlitz, Purego, Boozy, Goldilocks, Goama Games, and more.
It is indeed “Merry GCash!” this Christmas, as GCash is also giving up to P30 million worth of prizes just by using the app. Leading up to a few days to Christmas, app users can get gifts just by buying load, or using GCredit to pay when they shop on their favorite online platforms. They will also get a chance to win a gift of their choice in the grand raffle.
