Globe offers GoRoam for convenient and reasonably priced connection in China, Turkey, and Oman

GoRoam China

By extending GoRoam to China, Turkey, and Oman, Globe is lowering the cost and increasing the convenience of foreign travel for both tourists and Filipino employees working abroad.

Travelers can now access cost-effective, country-specific roaming plans in 17 locations across the globe with these new additions, eliminating the need to switch SIMs, wait in line at the airport for a local pocket WiFi, or remain within a specific range of a WiFi device in order to stay connected.

For as little as Php23 per day, GoRoam offers users dependable, fast mobile internet at prices comparable to those of local SIM cards. Long-term visitors to these locations will also be able to access websites that are blocked in their home countries without having to pay more for a VPN.

The latest offers come with affordable and extended validity options, catering to both short-term tourists and long-term travelers:  

  • GoRoam China – 15GB for 10 days at P800  
  • GoRoam Turkey – 10GB for 30 days at P800  
  • GoRoam Oman – 10GB for 30 days at P700  

These countries expand the reach of GoRoam, joining Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, UAE, USA, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Japan, Vietnam, and the Maldives.

“As more Filipinos travel abroad, staying connected should be simple and affordable. GoRoam offers are highly competitive in terms of pricing compared to other alternatives and local SIMs,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Globe’s Head of International Business.

“With GoRoam, customers can enjoy reliable data roaming without the inconvenience of changing SIMs or unexpected charges. Our goal is to provide customers with a straightforward way to stay online wherever they go,” she said.

By making a reservation in advance via the GlobeOne app, customers may quickly activate their GoRoam subscriptions. For more flexibility, Globe Prepaid and TM customers can also sign up using GCash.

Globe still offers cutting-edge roaming options tailored for contemporary tourists. Customers can visit glbe.co/roam to register or find out more about GoRoam.
