If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know that I am a loyal Globe subscriber. For the first time readers, I've been a Globe subscriber for eight years now. That is a long time, you might say.

It is. And so it's no surprise that when my mode of communication expands from SMS/MMS to chat and microblogging, I'd go to Globe and ask what they have to offer. I'm happy when they came up with the Globe Tattoo Broadband. I knew I just had to get one for myself.

But first I have to check out the product online, where else? Good thing I stumbled upon Kelvin's post about Globe Tattoo Broadband. According to Kelvin, Globe Tattoo Broadband is portable and fast. The connection is actuall very fast. Globe Tattoo Broadband connects to a 3G or WCDMA network fast; faster if you are in an area where 3G network is strong. A 3G/WCDMA network supports high data rate transmission up to 384 Kbps with wide area coverage, 2 Mbps with local coverage.

And like any other moms who value every dime, Globe Tattoo Broadband gives me two options when paying for the use of the network. First is the KB-based charging. This means that Globe Tattoo Broadband will charge you 15 centavos Per-KB. This is good for quick internet surfing such as sending or checking e-mails, or serving already cooked meal in your virtual cafe. Second is the time-based charging. You will be charged with Php5 for 15 minutes of browsing. This option is perfect for netizens like me whose work is Internet based. Aside from work, I also check out my Facebook, Twitter, and egroups, which I manage about three, every day.

One more thing, the Globe Tattoo Broadband also comes with a Globe Tattoo SIM. Internet usage via Globe Tattoo SIM by default is time-based. So, you can check your default browsing by SMS: text STATUS to 1111. To switch to Per-KB browsing, text KB to 1111.

Now, how to maximize your Globe Tattoo Broadband

Determine your Internet usage. If you use the Internet for email only, you can choose Option above. If you're an active netizen, you can switch from Option 1 to Option 2 anytime, hassle free. But with the fast Internet connection you get from Globe Tattoo, I'm sure, you'll be converted into an Internet user in no time at all.
Make sure you stay in an area where 3G signal is strong. But since we are in a highly modernized technology era, I'm sure you won't have problems finding a good 3G area.
Be creative. Express yourself. By the name itself, Globe Tattoo Broadband New Skins are pretty cool. You can choose the one that best suits your personality.
Unleash your creative power and design your own tattoo. If your design is chosen, it will appear in the Globe Tattoo Gallery. Plus you can get rewarded for it.
