In a nutshell, GoRoam gives you all the convenience of your local SIM card while traveling abroad.

  Globe Platinum, Prepaid, or Postpaid users and TM customers can register to GoRoam.

   

• How do I register or check the status of my account?

  You can subscribe through either the GCash or GlobeOne app. Simply log in to your preferred app and follow these steps:

• How do I know if my GoRoam promo is active?
  Once you've successfully registered to GoRoam, you’ll receive a notification that it's active when you turn on your mobile data and data roaming while abroad. 

   

  You can advance book at least months before your trip. Just tick the "Pre-order" (or Pre-purchase for Prepaid) option on GlobeOne and set your desired activation date. Once abroad, turn on your mobile data and data roaming to activate the offer, and you’ll receive an SMS confirmation.

   

  There will also be pre-expiration notifications when your promo is about to end or if you've used up your data.

   

• Can I use GoRoam if I go to two countries in succession?
  GoRoam promos are country-specific, so you must activate a new plan in each country. Postpaid customers can queue GoRoam offers for multiple countries.

   

• Is there a daily limit on GoRoam data usage?
  There are no daily caps, but each plan has a total data limit. For example, you can consume 15 GB of a GoRoam Thailand plan in one day even if it's valid for eight days.
