Those who are still using 2G/3G SIMs may bring their SIMs to the nearest Globe Stores to upgrade to 5G-ready 4G LTE SIM cards for free as long as quarantine protocols allow them to do so. Postpaid Mobile customers can also request to have their SIMs changed via the GlobeOne App.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams.
