MANILA, Philippines – Globe Telecom Inc. will begin the phased rollout of its “direct-to-cell satellite” service in June, initially limiting access to Android users as it expands mobile coverage to far-flung areas beyond the reach of terrestrial cell sites.
In a briefing on Tuesday, Globe chief commercial officer Darius Delgado said iOS compatibility would follow later as the telco scales up the service it launched earlier this year with Elon Musk’s Starlink Internet Services Philippines Inc.
Globe plans to offer subscriptions starting at P99 for 30 days and P299 for 90 days. Platinum subscribers will receive complimentary access, while select postpaid users will be given free allocations during the initial rollout.
