iPhone 3G Philippines Price + Globe Release August 22
On August 22, 2008, Globe is officially releasing the iPhone 3G in the Philippines. Excited? Nah, before you get yourself a reservation, you may want to consider the information below. Honestly, after reading the information at Globe's website, I had second thoughts and thinking about possible iPhone 3G alternatives.
Check this out: "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). iPhone 3G will also be available on existing Globe tariff plans." - source: Globe PR
