Globe has partnered with international insurtech bolttech to launch Gadget Xchange – a new mobile device program that will make postpaid device switching easier for subscribers with no question asked.
The program will offer greater choice and flexibility for postpaid subscribers with easy mobile device and screen replacement services. They also have the freedom to seamlessly switch between different device brands, styles, and colors.
New and recontracting Globe Postpaid and Platinum customers can avail these benefits through a monthly subscription. Service plan fees for Globe Gadget Xchange starts at PhP 89 per month for entry-level smartphones and a maximum fee of PhP 499 per month for high-end devices. Plans will include protection for up to 48 months.
Device switching or replacement services can be requested through a seamless online platform, with free pick-up and doorstep delivery. It will also have a 12-month warranty for device replacements and 3-month warranty for screen replacements.
New customers applying for postpaid plans in Globe Stores may add the Gadget Xchange subscription via the application form. Online and recontracting members just need to visit the official Globe website, apply for a device, then toggle the Gadget Xchange button after selecting a device.
A recent bolttech study show that a cracked screen, accidental breakage, and liquid damage are the leading concern for mobile plan customers in the Philippines, with over 50% highlighting such possible damages as their priority for device protection. Another important feature they cited includes that 43% also places importance on the flexibility of switching devices.
