The new myLifestyle Plan gives customers access to an easier and simplified plan offer starting at P499 a month which comes with built-in unlimited calls and texts to Globe & TM plus freebies such as the Navigation Bundle which gives customers all day, all month access to apps such as Waze, Grab Taxi, Google Maps, MMDA, and Accuweather, 1 GB Globe Cloud for easy and hassle-free storage of files and photos, and Gadget Care to allow customers to protect their devices against theft and accidental damage.

Customers can choose from GoSURF99 for 100MB of mobile internet monthly to as much as 15GB monthly with GoSURF2499.

For a richer data experience, myLifestyle plan customers can also choose from any of the Lifestyle Packs, which includes Music (Spotify), Productivity (Work Bundle for access to Evernote, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Globe Cloud), Life (Navigation Bundle, Explore Bundle for access to Agoda, Cebu Pacific, PAL, and Trip Advisor; and Shopping Bundle for access to Amazon, AyosDito, eBay, OLX, and Zalora), and Social (Chat Bundle for access to Viber, Facebook Messenger, KakaoTalk, Line, WeChat, and WhatsApp; Photo Bundle for access to Instagram, InstaSize, Photo Grid, and Photo Repost; ChatApp for access to Viber or Facebook Messenger; and standalone access to Facebook or Twitter).

Customers then get to choose from a wide range of free devices and gadgets, depending on their MSF. The more services they add on top of the base plan, the better the handset they can get.

“Beyond texting and calling, we are aware that our customers now use their phones to access music, social networks, games, photos and videos, among others. This is the inspiration behind the new myLifestyle Plan, which gives customers unlimited calls and texts to Globe and TM, so they no longer have to think about how many calls and texts they need, but rather focus on what digital lifestyle they want to pursue with their mobile connectivity with our wide range of surf and lifestyle packs. The more packs added to the base plan, the better the handset. With Globe, you get a complete postpaid plan experience that caters to your digital lifestyle with the new myLifestyle Plan,” shares Valdez.
