Our verdict
Globe Telecom suits people in PH who want a plan from the network itself rather than a virtual operator, and it runs 5G. The catch is the price spread: entry points start at a median of €9.30 while renewal prices sit at a median of €43.

Pros and cons
Pros
- You buy from the operator itself: the seller type is network and 5G is yes.
- Entry prices sit low, with a median starting price of €9.30 and a floor of €0.
- Unlimited plans cluster around a median of €23.19, below the €24.30 seen across mobile networks.
- eSIM support is standard here, with 100% against 0%.
- Support covers phone and a help centre, with 81.5% and 85.3%.
Cons
- Renewal prices are the weak point: the median is €43 against €44.63 for the category, and they reach €80.
- A credit check is required, recorded as 58.7%, and listings in the mobile networks set are the same way at 87.1%.
- The price range is wide, running from €0 to €99.49, so the median of €9.30 makes a better guide to a typical bill.
- It sells in a single market, PH, so the same plans are not offered abroad.

Who runs it
Globe Telecom, Inc. is the legal entity behind the brand, and it is headquartered in Philippines. The company was founded in 1935, so it is an established operator rather than a recent entrant. Plans are sold under the Globe Telecom name, and the contract, the service and the account all sit with that same legal entity.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs Globe Telecom?+
Globe Telecom, Inc. is the company behind the brand, headquartered in Philippines and founded in 1935. It sells as a network rather than a reseller, so the network, the contract and support all come from one company.
What does an unlimited plan cost?+
Unlimited plans on this listing run around a median of €23.19, with a spread from €0 to €100. The cheaper end sits at €14.53, so budget unlimited tiers sit well below the top of the range.
How much do plans cost to start?+
Starting prices have a median of €9.30, with a lower quartile of €4.36 and an upper quartile of €19.98. The range runs from €0 up to €99.49, so the headline figure marks the floor of the range.
What happens to the price when the contract ends?+
Renewal pricing is listed at a median of €43, with a range of €24.90 to €80. That sits near the €44.63 median for mobile networks overall, so renewal cost deserves a close look.
Where can I get this plan?+
The service runs in PH only, so it covers a single market. Anyone outside PH will find the same plans and the same network are not offered when travelling, so visitors plan around roaming with their home operator.
Does it need a credit check?+
A credit check is required, recorded as 58.7% here. Listings in the 26 brand set for plans a credit check is not required for are 100%, so a different route exists for those who cannot pass a check.
Can I get an eSIM or use it abroad?+
eSIM is the norm on these listings, with 100%. WiFi calling is also standard, with 98.2%. For roaming beyond PH, included access covers 36.1% of comparable listings, so check your own plan before travelling.
How do I get support?+
Phone support is available, with 81.5%, and there is a help centre at 85.3%. Chat and email sit lower at 56.8% and 54.1%, so a phone call is the more common route to a person.
