Globe Prepaid Roaming International [Activation Prices, Packages ]

Ever dreamed of staying connected while traveling around the world? Globe prepaid roaming makes that possible! 

Whether you’re having trouble getting a signal or can’t connect to the internet. This blog will guide you through the most common problems users face with Globe prepaid roaming and how to fix them in simple steps.

How to Activate Globe Prepaid Roaming?

Activating Globe prepaid roaming is super easy because it’s automatic. Here’s the simple process:

  • No need to text anything before your trip. Just turn on your phone when you arrive abroad, and your Globe SIM will automatically connect to a partner network.
  • Roaming turns on by itself and turns off automatically when you return to the Philippines.

To enjoy cheap data, calls, or texts:

  • Open the GlobeOne app or GCash app.
  • Go to Buy Promos > Roaming & Int’l.
  • Pick your promo and pay with your load.

You can even pre-book your promo up to 1 year in advance so it’s ready when you land! Make sure you have enough load to buy the promo (no minimum balance needed just for the signal).

Globe Roaming Rates for Prepaid Users

Default roaming rates (without a promo) are higher than local rates, so always get a promo to save money!

Tip: These rates can be expensive (calls up to ₱120 per minute), so grab a roaming promo first for way cheaper rates!

To activate globe roaming packages, you have to register for a data roaming promo with your country of destination.

Globe Roaming Promo Validity

Globe roaming promos usage starts as soon as you first turn on mobile data and enable data roaming and use internet. The validity is based on consecutive hours or days, not on monthly or year base, so it only works for that trip. You can also pre-book roaming promos up to one year in advance using the GlobeOne App. If you don’t use a pre-booked promo, it will automatically be canceled.

How to make call while roaming?

To call abroad, dial the full international number:
+ (country code) + area code + phone number

Example: To call a US number, dial +1 316 327 301000 and press SEND.

For cheaper calls, you can use a call or text promo from the GlobeOne App.

How to send messages while roaming?

  • Use your data promo to send free messages through apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, or Instagram.
  • If you need regular SMS, you can buy a call/text roaming promo in the app.

How to Activate Roaming in the Globe for 2G and 3G Users?

Unfortunately, roaming services for 2G and 3G SIMs have been turned off by many of Globe’s partner networks. If you use 2G or 3G, your network services will not work when you go abroad. 

To fix this problem, go to the Globe store closest to you and either upgrade your mobile network to 4G or 5G, based on how well Globe covers your area. After upgrading, you can use the steps above to turn on Globe roaming on your device.

How Prepaid users activate Globe 5G Roaming?

  • Register any Roam Surf, Surf4All, GoRoam, or Kabayan promo in the GlobeOne app.
  • When you arrive in your destination country, turn on Mobile Data and Data Roaming.
  • Restart your phone and set it to 5G or LTE.
  • Set your APN to: internet.globe.com.ph (Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names).

Note: Not all countries have 5G yet. Check the GlobeOne app or the Globe website for the latest coverage.
