MANILA, JUNE 17, 2013 – Globe Telecom has announced the introduction of a set of online tools – the Data Plan Profiler and Device Simulator – aimed at helping subscribers, especially those new to mobile data, increase their knowledge of and expertise at using mobile Internet, as well as to help them overcome common net-related problems.
The Data Plan Profiler (http://surf.globe.com.ph/profiler/index) confers the ability to calculate the amount of data required over a day or a month, and can also recommend the specific Globe mobile Internet plan that fits their needs. Subscribers can indicate how often they view webpages, send emails or do other such activities involving the mobile internet, and the Profiler can recommend a Globe Mobile Internet Plan that best suits their needs. The Data Plan Profiler can be configured by postpaid or prepaid as well as per device operating system.
The Device Simulator (http://surf.globe.com.ph/tools/device-simulator) can be utilized to help set up smartphones to access the mobile web. It can help users perform key setup related tasks such as changing network settings, managing push notifications, syncing social networking accounts and so on, through providing guidance regarding navigation, setting usage, and other core functions and tasks.
Jenny Granada-Echevarria, Head of Globe Mobile Data Services, said that one of the biggest challenges faced by modern buyers of smartphones is connecting to the Internet, including subscribing to data plans, enabling mobile access and so on – a daunting set of tasks that can convince many subscribers to give up. Utilizing these tools, she added, can help would-be smartphone users overcome these stumbling blocks, without needing to make recourse to calling the Globe Hotline for assistance or seeking help in person at a Globe Store.
