Globe Tattoo Broadband Seems Interesting

Sometime ago, I posted about an event I attended regarding Globe Tattoo.  It was about a SIM card that is good for calls, text & internet.

I got curious when I stumbled upon Kevin’s post about Globe Broadband Tattoo.

Globe Broadband Tattoo is service provided by Globe Telecom.  It enables us to connect to the internet wherever and whenever we are.

Kevin recommended it based on experience that Globe Tattoo Broadband is fast & reliable.  I also found out that there are 2 ways Globe can charge us for internet browsing:

  1. Time-based charging (Php 5.00/15minutes) 
  2. kb-based charging (Php 0.15/kb)

If I do decide to get this, I will definitely choose option 1 wherein we’re charged for the time we used.  I just don’t want to worry about how much data I have accessed or compute for it.  Anyhow, Globe Tattoo SIM by default is time-based.  If you want to know your browsing option, you just text STATUS to 1111.  To switch to kb-based, text KB to 1111.

A Globe Broadband Tattoo Kit contains:

  • Globe Broadband Tattoo Modem
  • Globe SIM Card
  • Free hours of Internet usage: Prepaid (free 5 internet hours), Postpaid (# of hours dependent on the plan)

There is also a “cool” factor for this product.  The Tattoo USB modem comes with a variety of design.  You can choose which skin you want.  You can choose one that fits your personality & lifestyle.  Pretty cool as a lot of us love individuality.  See the Globe Tattoo Broadband new skins here.

For those creative ones, you can design your own Globe Broadband Tattoo Modem skin!  You can go read the mechanics in the Globe Broadband Tattoo Gallery.  All have you to do is click the inquire button and you could have the chance to win Php5,000 plus your work on an actual Globe Tattoo modem!  How cool is that?

So what do you guys think?  Should I get one?

    “So what do you guys think? Should I get one?” I vote no, just because you don't need one.

    You don't have to get one if you already have an existing post-paid account through GLOBE or SMART and have a 3G enabled mobile phone (Nokia, etc) that you can connect to your notebook PC.

    You can use your existing post-paid account and still be charged P5/15 minutes. This will save you the cost of the USB 3G modem and the additional expense of getting another postpaid or prepaid account that you have to maintain.

    If you need more help, just email me.
