Can I use a different handset (not purchased from Globe) to have the LTE activated?
Activation of LTE is not handset dependent. You can enjoy the benefits of LTE in any handset as long as it is LTE-capable.
If your SIM is not yet LTE, you can visit any nearest Globe Store and have your SIM converted to LTE. For best experience, your device must be LTE-capable too and browsing must be in a Globe LTE-coverage.
Why should I buy my handset from Globe? Isn't it the same if I buy an LTE handset somewhere else?
LTE handsets purchased at Globe work best with the network because they are tuned to the Globe network frequency. Non-Globe handsets may not work or be compatible with the LTE network. So to enjoy the best experience on the Globe LTE network, we suggest you use a handset purchased from us.
Can I already use the Prepaid LTE SIM for iPhone 5/5s/5c or other versions of iPhones (iOS8 and above)?
Yes! You may use your purchased LTE SIMs using those units.
Is 4G the same with LTE?
Yes. LTE is a 4G technology that's fully capable of handling high-speed mobile data for LTE-capable devices especially within LTE coverage.
I'm using a tablet device. Can I use a Prepaid LTE SIM?
An LTE SIM can work in any type of tablet, may your tablet be LTE or Not-LTE capable. We recommend that you use an LTE SIM in an LTE-capable device within Globe LTE-coverage for faster browsing up to 42 Mbps.
I'm not yet using an LTE-capable phone. Can I still have the LTE activated?
Yep. However, it will not show or indicate the LTE signal since your device is not capable of detecting LTE network
Is there a fee for LTE activation?
Activation of LTE is free of charge.
If I have the LTE activated, will there be any changes on the experience on calls, text, and promo?
No worries! Regular calls, text and data rates will still apply.
