Globe iPhone 3G Philippine Pricing

The much hyped iPhone 3G can now be “legally” owned here in the Philippines. That is absolutely fantastic! But at what expense? Here are the details officially announced by Globe Telecom.

Prepaid iPhone 3G Prices:

  • 8GB iPhone 3G - Php41,889
  • 16GB iPhone 3G - Php48,889

Every iPhone Prepaid Kit is provided with P200 worth of free load every month for 5 months. Meaning you get 10 free internet hours every month for the next 5 months at P5/15 minutes rate.

Post Paid Prices:

  • Php1,599/month | 8GB = Php16,800 or 16GB = Php22,300
  • Php2,199/month | 8GB = Php14,600 or 16GB = Php20,000
  • Php3,299/month | 8GB = Php12,300 or 16GB = Php17,800
  • Php3,999/month | 8GB = Php5,600 or 16GB = Php11,000
  • Php4,999/month | 8GB = Free or 16GB = Php5,000

- 2-year lock-up applies.
- Rates are inclusive of VAT and Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment (CERA).
- Free text allocation applies to local text messages (Globe to Globe and Globe to other networks).
- Free call minutes applies allocation applies to local calls (Globe to Globe, Globe to other networks, Globe to landline and NDD calls).

“We are very excited to launch iPhone 3G here in the Philippines. Beginning August 22, Globe is bringing to the Filipinos the best browsing experience through the revolutionary iPhone 3G on our 3G/HSDPA network,” said Gerardo C. Ablaza Jr., president and CEO of Globe Telecom.

Globe will be offering special post paid plans that will allow consumers to experience the exciting features of iPhone 3G. These special plans will come with free local mobile internet hours and free Wi-Fi browsing hours (in areas covered by Globe Wireless Internet Zones). This, together with Globe’s call and text rates, ensures excellent connectivity.

For those interested in purchasing the iPhone 3G with Globe postpaid and prepaid, you can start making reservations beginning August 6 by calling Globe’s 24-Hour Call-in Service via landline (632)7301000 or 211 via toll-free mobile.

Final Thoughts:

Meh. Too expensive for me. But for people who are already spending Php5,000 per month with their cellphone bills, I think it would be a cool addition.

How about you? Any plans to get one?

Jesus Phone nga.
I’d go with the Ipod touch na lang 85% the same, less hassle and price

With the 5K/mo and 2 yr lock in period that’s equivalent to 120K. We’re better off with an iPod touch then a quad core rig.

That is so true Sylv! I’ve was actually torn between getting an iPhone or an iTouch. Now the decision looks so much easier to make. Hehe.

And indeed 120k is too much! But of course, there really are people who spend 5k monthly in phone bills alone. One of which actually is my mom. =]

Haha. But the problem with Palm Centro is we still can’t use it in the Philippines, right?

Overrated and overly hyped. But as Sylv has said a while back, “Apple is a social statement”. A very expensive social statement at that!

You are pretty stupid if you are buying an i-phone to make a social statement. You buy it because of what it can do, moron.

That’s too expensive, even for an iPhone. You can get something as good for more than half the price. In the end, those who’ll buy this will most probably be after it on for the status symbol.

I’ll definitely pass. But then , if I win the lotto, I’ll buy ten! LOL
