Network Usage Tips
Remote islands and mountainous areas
In Siargao Island, some remote islands and mountainous areas of Palawan, the signal may be weak or interrupted. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance. Globe provides better coverage than Smart in remote areas.
Underground and tunnel areas
Some sections of the Manila Metro only support 3G, and signals may be interrupted in tunnels, but will automatically restore to 4G network after exiting the station.
Indoor dense area
In large shopping malls or high-rise hotel rooms, it is recommended to stay near the windows for better signal reception due to the impact of building structures.
Price Evaluation
The 4G mobile network in the Philippines still needs further popularization, while 5G coverage is gradually improving. Prices are relatively affordable, especially the Total package, which is suitable for long-term travelers. Globe offers broader coverage in both urban and rural areas, while Smart performs better in urban regions. Choosing the right package based on travel plans ensures the best cost-performance ratio.
