My previous $1099 iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB plan with Globe 🇵🇭 is
- ₱2499/month
- 24 month contract
- 50GB/month 5G data with free tethering & data rollover
- unlimited text to all 🇵🇭 mobile networks
- unlimited calls to all 🇵🇭 mobile & landline networks that does not end after 4 mins or 12 mins call
- Free VoLTE & VoWiFi / WiFi Calling
At the time ₱2499/month for 24 months amortization was equal to the US MSRP of an unlocked $1099 iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB without US sales tax. The text/calls/data was effectively "free".
My current $1199 iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB plan with Smart 🇵🇭 is
- ₱3600/month
- 24 month contract
- 4GB/month 5G data with free tethering & no data rollover
- ₱25/GB excess data rate
- unlimited text to all 🇵🇭 mobile networks
- unlimited calls to all 🇵🇭 mobile & landline networks that does not end after 4 mins or 12 mins call
- Free VoLTE & VoWiFi / WiFi Calling
At the time ₱3600/month for 24 months amortization was lower than credit card amortization of an unlocked $1199 iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB with 12% VAT. The text/calls/data is effectively "free".
The SIM-only plan equivalent is ₱300/month
I got bored and provided conversion to the most popular currency of the past pages of this thread.

The only that sucks is the PH₱ to US$ is ₱55.97 = $1.00. The 3 decade low was ₱40.30 = $1.00
If it was then ₱3600/month would be ₱2800/month.
