Globe has further expanded its 5G roaming footprint to include the Netherlands, Bahrain, and New Zealand as it continues to explore more partnerships in Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific amid gradual economic recovery from the impact of the pandemic.
These latest additions cement Globe’s supremacy in the 5G space as it is now present in 43 5G roaming-ready countries. Just last month, Globe included Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, and France in its list of roaming partners.
“While we strive to increase Globe’s 5G presence in the Philippines, we are also working hard to widen our footprint for 5G roaming,” said Coco Domingo, Globe Vice President for Postpaid and International Business.
“As more smart cities emerge worldwide, we want our customers to experience new ways to connect and engage as they travel. Expect Globe to accelerate its 5G builds abroad as we gear up for travel’s full recovery,” Domingo said.
Globe customers will enjoy 5G roaming when they connect via Zain in Bahrain, Vodafone in New Zealand, and KPN in the Netherlands.
