Race aficionados rejoice because the long-awaited Singapore Grand Prix is right around the corner. And fast on its tail is the most affordable data roaming service ever brought to you by Globe Telecom: Bridge DataRoam⁵ Promotion.

Globe Telecom, a member of Bridge Alliance, now gives you a great new deal with Bridge DataRoam⁵.  You can get 50% off your data roaming service when you roam using SingTel‘s network and your Globe mobile phone from September 10 to October 10, 2009.  Instead of paying US$15 per 5MB (Megabyte) of data that you download, now you only pay US$ 7.50 for the same download volume.

Anyone can tell you that 5MB worth of data is equivalent to 100 e-mails, 500 WAP pages or 50 Web pages. So this slashed price of US$7.50 means you can surf in style and enjoy up to 10 times more e-mail, WAP and Web usage while in Singapore.  The rate applies when you surf on mobile internet and WAP portals while on SingTel’s network in Singapore, during the promo period.

Your subscription to Bridge DataRoam⁵ is good for 30 days.  As long as you have not consumed the number of MB allotted to you, you can continue to enjoy the offer if you go to Singapore within the 30-day period of your subscription. Remember though that if you come back to the Philippines and surf during the promo period, regular local data charges will apply.

And it’s so easy to sign up for Bridge DataRoam^5. If you are registering from the Philippines, just call 211 toll-free from your mobile phone or visit any Globe Business Center for assistance.  If you are out of the country, just call our Globe Roaming Support Hotline at +632 730 1212 (toll-free) using your Globe mobile phone to register.

And if you’re one of the first 50 to sign up for Bridge DataRoam⁵, you could walk away with a Nokia E75 mobile phone, a favorite smartphone of tech fans and a great match for your data roaming and connectivity needs, with its capacity for high-speed downloads, faster messaging and e-mail.

Martha Sazon, Globe’s head for Globe Postpaid and High-end Mobile, says, “As a member of Bridge Alliance, Globe continues to look for ways to redefine the roaming experience of our valued Globe customers. Bridge DataRoam^5. is a great new offer because it gives them seamless roaming service which is hassle-free and very economical as they travel to our partner countries. And with the Singapore Grand Prix coming up, race lovers can sit back, relax and enjoy the show, knowing that Globe and SingTel are taking care of all their roaming needs.”
