What is the GlobeOne App (And Why Do You Need It)?

What is the GlobeOne App (And Why Do You Need It)?

Globe gets it: you want more than just phone calls and texts. You want entertainment, freebies, and tools to make life easier. Imagine an app that streamlines all your accounts, makes finding promos a breeze, and helps you discover benefits you didn't even know you had. That's the GlobeOne app.

 

Want to check your balance, add data, or upgrade your plan? GlobeOne makes it simple, so you can spend less time managing your account and more time enjoying everything else Globe has to offer.

What’s the GlobeOne App?

The GlobeOne app allows Globe customers to track, manage, and control their accounts effectively. It features postpaid, prepaid, and broadband support and centralizes everything in a single dashboard, so checking in is fast, convenient, and efficient. This all-in-one platform makes it easy for users to learn how to create and activate their account or manage their prepaid or postpaid plan, too.

 

The app didn't always have this functionality. Globe used to have separate apps for different services. Recognizing the need for a more streamlined experience, Globe revamped its digital offerings by consolidating everything into the GlobeOne app.

 

Now, you can easily monitor your data usage, discover new perks, pay bills, and earn rewards, all in one place. It's the ultimate tool for maximizing your subscription.

7. Redeem, gift, and manage Globe Rewards.

The app also offers rewards you can redeem through Globe’s partners. With over 3,000 partners nationwide, you'll never run out of places to spend your well-earned points. Lazada, Shopee, Grab, Zalora, and Landers Superstore are just some of the partners you get to shop from.

 

In addition to converting your points to e-gift vouchers, you can redeem them for mobile surfing or donate them to charitable organizations. Partner organizations include PAWS Philippines, the ABS-CBN Foundation, Ayala Foundation, and Rise Against Hunger.

 

On that note, it’s great to know that earning points is very simple. If you’re a Globe prepaid customer, you get points based on how often you reload. Postpaid users earn points by paying their monthly bill on the app! Whether you use prepaid or postpaid, though, every ₱50 spent on Globe services grants you one Rewards point.

8. Earn exclusive discounts from Globe’s partner establishments.

Along with redeeming Globe Rewards for the best shopping experiences yet, Globe also offers exclusive discounts with its partner brands. You can choose from different products, services, and brands when copping these exclusive discounts, which makes for a more unique and customized customer experience.

 

Most of Globe’s partners have branches all over the country, so you don’t have to worry about being in a specific location to access these.

9. Pay for more than just your Globe Bill.

GlobeOne isn’t just for managing your mobile services. Think of it as your one-stop bill payment hub. You can settle a wide range of bills with just a few taps, from airline tickets to credit cards and even government fees. Save time and avoid late fees by consolidating your payments in one convenient place!

10. Need help? Get instant support.

Need to clarify a charge, troubleshoot a connection, or simply want to ask a question?

Or scroll to the bottom and click on “Get Help” to chat. Skip the phone queues and get personalized help whenever you need it!

Sweet Dreams: 7 Best Sleep Sounds and Apps to Beat Insomnia

Sweet Dreams: 7 Best Sleep Sounds and Apps to Beat Insomnia

If you describe your sleep as “barely getting any,” you may have insomnia, and you're not alone. A Milieu Insights study showed that Filipinos experience the most sleepless nights in Southeast Asia.

 

Fortunately, many apps can improve sleep quality with calming sleep sounds and other handy features. Just stream them when you’re ready for bedtime.

 

To know which app is best for your sleep health, let's first take a quick look at what it means to have insomnia.

How to Know if You Have Insomnia

Woman who has trouble sleeping covers eyes while in bed, with clock saying 3:00 in foreground.

The Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine says women are more prone to insomnia than men.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) defines insomnia as difficulty falling, staying asleep, or both. It requires a clinical diagnosis from a psychologist or a physician specializing in sleep medicine. Apart from your medical history, the doctor will review your sleeping habits and their effects on your daily life.

 

For example, the doctor may suspect chronic insomnia if your sleeplessness persists for more than three months and occurs at least three times weekly. This type of insomnia causes fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes during the day.

 

Sleep problems can be caused by various factors, from binge-watching to work stress to medical conditions. Since there are many possible reasons, seeing a doctor is always a good idea when you can’t get a good night’s rest.

Noise as Sleep Aids

Asian male with insomnia falls asleep at dawn, with light shining on one side of the bed.

Sleep sounds can be used in combination with other relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing.

As part of your treatment, the doctor may ask you to try listening to different types of noises. Research has shown that the "colors of noise," like white, pink, and brown, can drown out background noises and relax your brain enough to induce deep sleep.

 

Finding the right sleep sound will require trial and error. But, incorporating these colors of noise into your sleep routine may provide promising results.

White Noise

What’s the sound? White noise contains all frequencies at equal intensity. It produces a steady, static sound that can help you relax.

 

White noise examples: Fans, vacuums, air conditioners, TV, or radio static

 

Sleep app to try: No need for an app if you have an iPhone—yup, white noise is built into the device under background sounds.

  • Head to Settings and tap Accessibility.
  • Scroll down to the “Hearing” section and select “Audio & Visual.”
  • Go to “Background Sounds” and toggle it on. You'll immediately hear static.
  • To change, go to “Sound” and select one of three white noise options: Balanced Noise, Bright Noise, and Dark Noise. It also has Ocean, Rain, or Stream background sounds.

To avoid going back to Settings each time you want to hear white noise, add a shortcut to your iPhone’s Control Center.

  • Return to “Settings” and tap “Control Center.”
  • Under “More Controls,” select the “plus” sign next to “Accessibility Shortcuts.”
  • Swipe down for the “Control Center.” You should see the “Accessibility” icon. Tap it to activate white noise.

Pink Noise

What’s the sound? The pink noise filters out higher frequencies, creating a deeper, more soothing sound with a lower pitch.

 

White noise examples: Steady rain, wind rustling through trees, the constant burble of a river

 

Sleep app to try: Formerly known as Relax Melodies, BetterSleep offers many pink noise options, such as sounds of nature and water. The app consistently ranks among Apple Store's top 10 health and fitness apps. It also claims that 91% of its listeners slept better after using it for just one week. Also available on Google Play.

Brown Noise

What’s the sound? Brown noise produces a rumbling sound with a bass-like tone and a lower frequency than pink noise.

 

White noise examples: Gushing waterfall, heavy shower with good pressure, crashing waves

 

Sleep app to try: myNoise is a passion project of a sound engineer who also happens to have a Ph.D. in applied sciences. The app comes with brown noise presets, handy for anyone who wants to eliminate the guesswork of which soundscape to choose. You can also calibrate the sounds, adjusting the frequency and speed to your preference. Available on the App Store and Google Play.

Sleep Playlists

Want to try if sleep sounds work for you? Spotify has playlists with nature sounds, soundwaves, and different types of noise.

 

Check out the Noise and Nature, Sleep Inducing Soundwaves, and Binaural Beats playlists.

Expert-Recommended Apps for Insomnia

Young Asian female looks at her mobile phone while in bed.

Some people find a fan's or air conditioner's hum calming, while others prefer nature sounds to put them to sleep.

If sleep sounds only help a little, you might benefit from CBT-based apps. CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is an insomnia treatment typically overseen by medical professionals.

 

CBT helps you figure out and change behaviors that might be causing your slumber issues. It includes techniques like controlling your environment for sleep, limiting your time in bed, and learning how to relax.

 

CBT apps help you incorporate these sleep strategies into your bedtime routine. Here are some highly recommended apps on the App Store and Google Play.

Calm

The Calm app consulted clinical psychologist and insomnia specialist Steve Orma, Ph.D., to develop "Sleep Stories" to help your brain slow down. Think of it as bedtime stories for grownups that shift your focus from stressful thoughts to listening to the story—but not so much that you can’t drift off to sleep.

 

Download from the App Store and Google Play.

CBT-i Coach

The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Standford School of Medicine collaborated to create this mobile app, intended for use with the guidance of a healthcare provider. CBT-i Coach focuses on your thoughts and feelings about sleep and provides tools to help you relax while getting ready for sleep.

 

Available on the App Store and Google Play.

Insomnia Coach

If you’re not currently in CBT with a health provider, the people behind CBT-i Coach offer Insomnia Coach, designed to be used daily for five weeks. After that period, use the app’s diary and other tools to monitor and improve your sleep quality.

 

Get from the App Store and Google Play.

Pzizz

The Pzizz app uses "dreamscapes," a combination of soothing sounds, voiceovers, and music that changes each night to prevent your brain from getting fatigued. You can customize the dreamscape, like adjusting the voiceover volume vs. music or choosing a male or female voice. A big plus: Pzizz works without an internet connection.

 

Download from the App Store and Google Play.

Stellar Sleep

Top sleep experts at Harvard Medical School helped develop Stellar Sleep, a personalized program that uses proven methods from psychology and CBT. A clinical study of 500 users found that the app may be more effective at reducing insomnia symptoms than sleeping pills.

 

Available on the App Store and Google Play.

Make Sleep Health a Priority

Insomnia needs personalized care because its causes and symptoms vary from person to person. If you suspect you have chronic insomnia, consult a doctor online on KonsultaMD. The telehealth service has licensed mental health counselors who can refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist for possible CBT

 

For uninterrupted sleep app use, a Globe Postpaid subscription helps you establish your new sleep routine and improve sleep quality.

 

While many sleep apps offer comforting sleep sounds and scientifically validated CBT tools, they can't replace a sleep doctor when dealing with insomnia. Your doctor, along with other tools like apps, can help you finally get deep, rejuvenating sleep.

What Netflix Account Sharing Really Means

What Netflix Account Sharing Really Means

Netflix subscription plans start at only ₱149/month.

If you're still unsure how Netflix's ban on password-sharing affects your streaming routine, read on for a breakdown. Find out what it really means to share a Netflix account "within a household," how to continue watching when you're on the go, what you can do to extend account access, and more. Plus, get a deep dive into the top benefits of having your own Netflix paid subscription.

What Does Netflix Account Sharing Mean?

Prior to Netflix's crackdown on password-sharing, subscribers could use anyone’s account so long as they had the password. But now, one account is only "for use by one household."

 

That means you and the people you live with can still share a single account without paying additional fees. You can easily set up and manage your Netflix household through most TV devices. Members can watch on up to four supported devices at once if they’re on the same WiFi network or using the same internet connection.

 

But just because you're sharing one account doesn't mean everyone connected to it needs to watch the same things in the same room. You can still have unique profiles, stream different titles separately, and enjoy Netflix on your own time.

How Does Netflix Detect Password Sharing?

According to Netflix, the streaming platform uses data like IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity to gauge if someone outside the household is accessing the account. While there are no penalties for sharing passwords (as of now), these measures make it harder to use another household’s account for free.

Can You Still Use Netflix When You’re Not Home?

Yes, you can still use the Netflix app even when traveling. You can access it through portable devices, like your mobile phone or laptop, and even a new TV simply by signing in.

 

Netflix also allows members to "register" new devices if they have a second home or frequently travel to a specific location. However, you may need to verify the login to confirm no users outside of your primary household are trying to force their way into your shared Netflix account.

Can You Give Access to Users Outside Your Household?

Yes, Netflix has added a new feature that allows you to share your account with people who don't live with you. Depending on your Netflix plan, you can add one to two members outside your household.

 

The Standard Plan allows you to add one extra member outside your household while the Premium Plan gives you the option to add up to two members who don't live with you. Each member will cost an extra ₱149 per month. The primary account holder must purchase the slot then send the invite to join.

 

There's also the Profile Transfer feature where anyone on your account can transfer their profile to a new or existing membership. For example, if you have a sibling who's moved to a new household, they can use this feature to keep recommendations, viewing history, and other data associated with their profile.

Should You Get Your Own Netflix Account?

The Netflix shake-up likely locked you out if you used a friend’s or relative's account for free earlier this year. So, is it time to get your own membership? Yes! It's still worth paying for the exclusive perks, even if you can't share your password anymore. Here are just a few of the benefits of a paid Netflix subscription.

1. Get access to an extensive media library.

Netflix has one of the largest streaming catalogs in the world. They have must-watch TV shows and movies in virtually every genre, from Action to Thriller. It's also home to hundreds of award-winning and critically acclaimed originals like Stranger Things, The Crown, The Haunting of Hill House, Wednesday, and more.

2. Stream on multiple devices.

You can easily watch Netflix through numerous supported devices with a reliable internet connection. Not only does that list include computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs, but also game consoles and streaming media players.

3. Enjoy user-friendly navigation.

Both the Netflix app and website offer a very intuitive navigational experience. Some notable features include:

 

  • Browse by category, genre, and language.
  • Stay on top of all new releases via the "New & Popular" section and set alerts for your most anticipated titles.
  • Add TV shows and movies to your watch list by clicking the plus (+) symbol on their title card, then browse those saved titles in one curated section.

New and non-tech-savvy users can master the platform within a few minutes, no tutorials necessary!

4. Play original mobile games.

Did you know that Netflix offers unlimited access to over 50 mobile games? That's right! No ads, no hidden fees. You can download and play for free with your membership. Supported devices include Android phones and tablets, iPhones, and iPads.

 

Titles include a digital version of the popular card game Exploding Kittens, crowd-favorite party staple Heads Up, and even games inspired by Netflix originals like Stranger Things.

5. Choose a plan that works for your budget and lifestyle

Netflix offers four plans with different price points and benefits, but all come with unlimited ad-free viewing and gaming. The most affordable of the options is the Mobile-only plan, costing only ₱149/month. It allows users to stream and download on one phone or tablet at a time. Next up is the Basic plan at ₱249/month. It's accessible through any of the service's supported devices.

 

Next, there's the Standard Netflix plan, starting at ₱399/month. You can use it on two devices at once and add one non-household member for an additional ₱149/month. Finally, there's Netflix Premium, starting at ₱549/month. You can add up to two non-household members, access the platform on four devices simultaneously, and watch in Ultra HD.

 

Are you thinking of getting your own Netflix account? You won't regret it! The platform is one of the most worthwhile streaming services in the market. For a hassle-free experience, subscribe with your postpaid plan and ensure smooth, uninterrupted viewing with a reliable internet connection.
