Globe goes full speed ahead in securing the widest 5G network coverage worldwide as it locks in more partners to give Globe roamers and foreign visitors in the country the best experience 5G may offer. The company’s venture to secure North American locations proved successful as they will officially launch the 5G roaming service through Canada-based Telus on June 15 and USA-based AT&T on June 17.
Globe follows this milestone with another by announcing its partnership with the leading technology communications company in Europe, Vodafone.
Globe roamers in Hungary, Germany, Ireland and Netherlands will get enhanced 5G connectivity experience by July 2021.
Likewise, visiting Vodafone subscribers may also experience 5G connectivity in the Philippines as long as they have 5G-enabled handsets and in 5G-powered locations in the country.
Globe has the widest coverage of 5G roaming in Europe: Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Estonia through Telia Company; Italy through Telecom Italia; and Hungary, Germany, Ireland, and Netherlands through Vodafone.
“Together with our customers, we look forward to the day that the world will open once again for travel,” said Coco Domingo, Globe Vice President for Postpaid and International. “For our part, we will fulfill our commitment to continuously innovate with a purpose so our customers will be prepared to roam the world with 5G technology at their fingertips.”
