Globe’s first LTE Device is Huawei Ascend P1 LTE

Globe Telecom is offering a different LTE device – Huawei Ascent P1 LTE. Yugatech has this post way back in November about the P1 and D1 as well.

The rival network Smart offered two LTE devices – Xperia V and ZTE T82. You can check their offering and compare their Plan with Globe.

Huawei Ascend P1 LTE has a 1.5GH Dual Core, 1GB RAM, 4.3″ Super AMOLED Capacitive Multi-Touch Screen, Android ICS with 8 megapixel camera, WiFi, and BlueTooth.

“Finally, the first LTE smartphone arrives in the Philippines, and it traverses through the Globe doorsteps via our Globe Stores. Subscribers can now purchase the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE under our unlimited data plans and experience mobile browsing speeds of up to 100 Mbps, on-time exchange of text messages, as well as clearer calls and faster call connections. Together with our device partners, we are excited to bring a world-class mobile experience that is LTE to our subscribers, truly empowering them their way,” said Martha Sazon, Head of Globe Postpaid. Globe will soon be offering its second batch of LTE exclusive smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE, ZTE T81, and a host of other LTE enabled smartphones with more Globe LTE sites fired up.

The Huawei Ascend P1 LTE is available for free at Globe Unli Surf 1799, bundled with unlimited data for uninterrupted and worry-free mobile surfing, P800 monthly consumable for calls and texts, and three (3) call and text freebies that are changeable monthly. Subscribers can boost their Unli Surf Plan with unlimited services available for as low as P175 monthly, valid for 30 days.

To use the LTE-powered Huawei Ascend P1 LTE, Globe postpaid subscribers need a Globe LTE SIM, also available in Globe Stores in Glorietta, Greenbelt, Rockwell, and Ayala Triangle. Replacement of regular Globe postpaid SIM to an LTE SIM is free of charge to all postpaid subscribers availing of the LTE device.
