Activation, hotspot and reliability tips
Activate at the right time
Buy ahead and activate when you land — plans can usually be activated within 180 days of purchase. If you want immediate coverage on arrival, scan the QR and switch profiles before leaving Wi‑Fi in the airport.
Hotspot usage
All matching 15‑day plans list "Unlimited Hotspot" — but tethering speeds follow the same mobile network conditions as your phone. For stable laptop work, position yourself near urban towers or use cafés with strong indoor reception.
Network reliability
The marketplace primarily uses Globe coverage. Urban areas (Manila, Cebu, Davao) have strong 4G/5G; expect reduced speeds in remote islands — plan offline maps or bring a backup local SIM if you’ll spend long stretches off the beaten path.

Quick checklist before you go
- Decide: light, medium or heavy data use for 15 days.
- Choose 10–20 GB if you stream occasionally; choose Unlimited if you work or tether constantly.
- Buy and keep the QR until arrival; activate upon landing for immediate coverage.
- Keep a small Wi‑Fi backup plan for remote islands where cellular is weak.
