Unlimited LTE from Globe

Yesterday, I saw this photo on my Facebook News Feed:

My friend (@koyat61205 on Instagram) says she just updated to iOS 6.1 and this became available. I thought that a special SIM was required, but apparently the nano-sim that Globe issued its postpaid subscribers with the iPhone 5 should already be LTE ready.

Thanks to Yugatech, I also learned that subscribers to the UnliSurf plan can get LTE on our iPhone 5 as long as we’re in an LTE covered area. Now where that areas are, remains to be the question. I really have been mostly happy with Globe, having been a subscriber for over 13 years, but their Customer Service is crappy. Others have been having a difficult time getting 3G signal.

I have yet to update my iOS devices but when I do, I’m looking forward to faster no cap Internet. Smile

i am also a loyal subscriber of globe. The 3G signal is low here in my new address. But, I have no choice.

By the way, what’s LTE?

I haven’t upgraded mine, too. Wow, I like an iPhone 5, too (I hope Globe hears me). )

What is LTE? Is this similar to NFC (near field communication)?

My friend was complaining about the IOS 6.1 and she warned me about changing… She said she read after the reviews that there were still so many bugs. What she hated the most was that she had difficulty in her wifi! Please just read the reviews , because I didn’t do it yet!
