Globe Launches MyFi Portable WiFi Router

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you want the worldwide web to be just a few clicks away, all the time. Because you never know when you’ll need to traverse the cyber world, Globe has got your ideal travel buddy: the Globe Tattoo MyFi, the latest in a slew of cool innovations that’ll have the gadget geek in you salivating.

The Globe Tattoo MyFi is an all-in-one wireless modem/router that enables you to share your internet access with up to five WiFi-capable access devices as far as 100 meters away. With your MyFi, you can web-connect all your favorite gadgets to the internet so you can surf using your laptop, iPhone, iPad and even your iPod Touch. And because the MyFi is mobile, you’re not tied down to one location; you’re free to wander up to 100 meters away as long as there is a Globe 3G signal. Other WiFi routers keep you chained to one place, denying you the mobility and functionality that are your top must-haves.

You can get the Globe Tattoo MyFi now by signing up for a monthly Globe Tattoo Broadband plan for as low as P499 per month and then choosing to get this router instead of the usual USB stick; the MyFi will cost just an extra P 250 per month for 24 months and will already do double-duty as both your modem and WiFi router. It’s the most affordable share-able postpaid broadband service you’ll find anywhere in the country. Now if you’d rather go prepaid, you can still get the MyFi for a single upfront payment of P 7000 from Globe. And once you’ve got your MyFi, just plug it in and you can surf at speeds up to 3mbps!

Globe Head of Broadband and Landline Marketing Dong Ronquillo says, “We recognize that our customers have very full, busy lives and they need a brand that will keep up with them anytime and anywhere. With the Globe Tattoo MyFi, you get all access, on the go, just the way you like it. No one else in the country offers this kind of mobile innovation, and Globe Tattoo will continue to innovate to bring exciting new services and products to our customers.”
