Get these Unbelievable Deals from Globe - August 23 to 26, 2013

Who would have thought that a telco will remove it's cash out on the  Samsung Galaxy S4 after 4 months of its release in the Philippines.

Globe launched a great deal this long weekend, and temporarily removed the P4800 cash out when getting a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Plan 1799. 

Other great deals include the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE which is now free on Plan 1799, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, now free on Plan 999 which both are originally free on Plan 1799, and the budget-friendly phone Huawei Ascend G510 which is now free on Plan 299. All phones are at 24 months lock-up period.

The problem with this is, the deal is only available to NEW subscribers. Weekly offers like this do not apply to old subscriber who are already out of their lock-up periods. 

I think, Globe needs to revisit their loyalty/retention policy to its subscribers as there are customers out there who are willing to stay with them despite the network issues they encounter everyday
