Globe to launch iPhone4S, other mobile devices

Globe Telecom recently announced that it would soon launch the iPhone4S and other Apple mobile devices—from other iPhone variants to the iPad2—bundled with innovative plans.

Globe started to take orders for iPhone4S as early as December 1. The products will be launched on December 16.

According to Ernest Cu, Globe president and chief executive officer, the company maintains a formidable partnership with Apple since the telco launched the iPhone3Gs in 2008.

“This relationship has allowed Globe to provide our customers with the best deals for the complete Apple product portfolio. Backed by several years’ experience in handling Apple mobile devices, Globe is better-equipped to deal with the specific needs that face iPhone users, particularly in mobile data. We have developed offers and services that cater to the mobile browsing habits of a wide variety of consumers,” Cu said.

As of end-September, Globe reported that the number of its postpaid subscribers had reached 1.37 million, up 39 percent year on year.
