Globe is on track to own the widest 5G coverage globally as it continues to expand its roster of 5G roaming partners.

Globe assures that Filipino travelers abroad will be able to access 5G roaming services when they travel, adding the following countries to its still-growing list of locations: Japan through Softbank, Turkey through Turk Telecom, Switzerland’s Swisscom. O2 Czech Republic, the largest operator in the Czech market, is set to join Globe’s roster of overseas telco partners by August 20.

The company has also partnered with Israel’s Pelephone so its visiting subscribers from the country may enjoy the benefits of 5G in the Philippines.

Subscribers of Globe’s roaming partners will also have access to Globe’s 5G network when they visit the Philippines as long as they are using 5G-enabled phones in over 1,700 5G locations.
