Globe users can upgrade physical SIM to eSIM while retaining number

In line with its commitment to innovation and response to evolving market needs, Globe is set to launch a new service allowing Globe Prepaid customers to upgrade from a physical SIM to eSIM and retain their current number.

“This new offer is part of our drive for wider adoption of eSIM. We’re not just keeping up with the digital needs of our customers, we’re propelling them into the future of connectivity,” said Givielle Florida, Head of Globe Prepaid.

How to change your old SIM to eSIM

The eSIM upgrade is available for Globe Prepaid customers via the GlobeOne app, which features an eSIM-compatibility check to ensure users’ devices are ready for the upgrade. The app offers seamless download and installation once purchased. The upgrade costs just P99.

To upgrade your physical SIM to an eSIM, simply go to the GlobeOne app, click on SIM Hub > Change SIM > eSIM and follow the on-screen instructions on your device. Then install the eSIM by scanning the QR code from your email and enjoy your new eSIM with the same mobile number.

This follows the successful introduction of eSIMs for Globe Prepaid subscribers earlier this year, creating an end-to-end digital experience for its customers.

Globe earlier unveiled new features of its digital platforms including GlobeOne app and Globe Online.

Globe customers can save time and effort with the new and improved GlobeOne app and Globe’s online shop, Globe Online.
