Designed especially for use in tablet devices like the iPad 3G, the Globe Micro-SIM is powered by a new Unlimited Data Plan exclusively available from Globe Tattoo. The Unlimited Plan is a pure data plan ideal for daylong browsing so you can constantly tweet, update your status, email and post photos or videos whenever the mood strikes you, all for only P 999 a month.
Now there’s no need to take scissors to a standard SIM card to make it fit into the iPad SIM card slot. Globe’s spanking-new Micro-SIM is small enough to fit the iPad 3G and hook you up to Globe’s wireless 3G network so you can seamlessly cyber-surf anywhere in the Philippines.
Manny Escosa, Head of Globe Tattoo, explains, "The Globe Micro-SIM is our nod to the gadget lovers out there who want the richest online experience they can get on their iPad 3G. And since the Micro-SIM is powered by our new Unlimited Data plan, it’s now a snap for iPad fans to get Globe-connected and get the best possible browsing experience."
A handy tip for newbies: If you’ve got the iPad in your hands and are wondering how you can easily distinguish the iPad 3G from the Wi-Fi-only model, just check the back of the device; if there’s a black strip at the top, you’re holding the 3G model which is a perfect fit for Globe’s Unlimited Data plan.
