Telecom provider Globe has expanded its GoRoam service to China, Turkey, and Oman to provide international travelers and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) cost-effective mobile data options. With these new locations, GoRoam now operates in 17 countries, allowing users to access local roaming plans without switching SIM cards or relying on pocket WiFi.
The service provides high-speed mobile internet at rates comparable to local SIMs, with plans starting at 23 pesos ($0.41) per day. Long-term travelers in some countries can also access restricted sites without requiring a VPN.
The latest plans include 15GB for 10 days in China at 800 pesos, 10GB for 30 days in Turkey at 800 pesos, and 10GB for 30 days in Oman at 700 pesos. These additions join existing GoRoam destinations, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, the UAE, the U.S., Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Japan, Vietnam, and the Maldives.
“As more Filipinos travel abroad, staying connected should be simple and affordable,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Globe’s head of international business. “GoRoam offers competitive pricing compared to local SIMs and other alternatives.”
Customers can activate GoRoam through the GlobeOne app or via GCash for prepaid users.
