Globe launches VoLTE Roaming in Asia-Pacific and USA.
This means Globe users will be able to continue using high-quality voice calls and text messaging even as foreign networks phase out 2G and 3G infrastructure.
As of July, Globe has brought VoLTE roaming to Japan with Softbank, Australia with Optus, Hong Kong with CSL, Taiwan with Taiwan Mobile, Macau with CTM, and the US with T-Mobile and AT&T.
Future developments include Italy with TIM and Wind.
"Traveling abroad should not mean being cut off from life back home. With VoLTE roaming, Globe ensures that our customers stay fully connected wherever they are, whether making calls for real-time updates or receiving important text notifications such as OTPs from their most-used apps. The last thing they should worry about is losing communication," said Paula Rivera-Castillo, head of Globe international business.
It is important to note that devices need to support VoLTE and LTE signal from Globe’s roaming partners.
"Traveling abroad should be a delightful experience. With our rapidly expanding global VoLTE roaming footprint, Globe customers can focus on enjoying every adventure, knowing their mobile service has their back,” said Castillo.
