Both Globe Telecom and Smart Communications have conjured up numerous plan options to get you a Apple iPhone 4S on a postpaid plan. Both companies offerings are more extensive than they have done on any previous phone. In comparing the two, it is best to take it slow. This articles compares Globe and Smarts plans for the iPhone 4S 16GB variant.
@Plan 2499. Both Globe and Smart offer the iPhone 4S 16GB free at Plan 2499. Globe Telecom offers it under its regular Plan 2499 Data Plan.
Globe Plan 2499
- Php1500 consumable
- Unlimited data
- 5 freebies
A: 10 mins of calls & 200 SMS to Globe/TM
B: 5 mins of call & 25 SMS to other networks
C: 10 mins IDD & 10SMS to 10 international destination
E: Unlimited Call & Text to 1 Globe/TM number
Smart created a specific plan for the iPhone, a Plan 2499 data
Smart iPhone Plan 2499
- 300 minutes calls to all networks
- 300 SMS to all networks
- 1GB of Data
Comparing the two it is Smart offers a better deal for those heavy on voice calls, you have 300 minute a month. If you did this with Globe's Plan 2499 and made 300 minutes of calls within the network and calls outside the network and sent 300 SMS, you bill would be near or over 3K, even counting the freebies. But if there is one Globe number you call a lot or the IDD freebies appeal to you, this could negate Smarts call advantage.
Globe offers a better deal on the data and SMS. If you are not heavy on voice calls Globe Offers unlimited data and you can consume the entire Php1,500 on SMS.
Both are great plans, but choosing between the two I like the Globe offering better. iPhones have iCloud, Siri (which uses data) and 425,000 apps (many of which use data).
At Plan 2499 Globe looks like the better offering. It is a smartphone, and smarthpones work best with unlimited data. But depending on your use, the Smart plan may be better.
Smart Data Plan 2000. But actually Smart has another option to get a iPhone 4S 16GB. Smart Data Plan 2000.
Smart Data Plan 2000
- Cash out Php2,500
- 150 minutes calls to all networks
- 200 SMS to all networks
- Unlimited data
This is the plan I use right now and my bill has been Php2,200 or less for the past eleven months, so this is the Plan which fits me best. If I got an iPhone, I would choose this plan.
Globe Data Plan 1799. Globe has a plan that can match Smarts Data Plan 2000.
Globe Plan1799
- Cash out Php4,800
- Php800 consumable
- Unlimited data

C: 10 mins IDD & 10SMS to 10 international destination
E: Unlimited Call & Text to 1 Globe/TM number
Smart Plan 999. Smart has a Plan 999, but we don't like this one.
Smart Plan 999
- Cash out - Php999 a month for 24 months
- 100 minutes calls to all networks
