Preparation and speed go hand-in-hand. Being organized reduces errors, photo issues, and rejection rates.
Help Family Faster
If registering multiple family members’ SIMs, these hacks multiply time savings. 5 SIMs = save 50+ minutes total.
Less Frustration
Quick, smooth process = less stress. No waiting, no repeated attempts, no confusion about what to do next.
Preparation Hacks (Before You Start)
These 4 preparation steps save 5-7 minutes during actual registration:
Pre-Take & Pre-Upload ID Photo
Time Saved: 2-3 minutes (no fumbling with camera during registration)
How to Do It:
- BEFORE opening registration: Take a perfect ID photo using your camera app
- Use optimal lighting (near window, daylight)
- Remove ID from plastic sleeve
- Show all 4 corners, no glare
- Review photo – zoom in to verify text is readable
- Save to phone gallery (easy to find – name it “ID for Globe”)
- During registration: Simply select from gallery instead of taking new photo
💡 Pro Tip: Take 2-3 photos and pick the clearest one. Better to spend 1 minute now than 5 minutes retaking during registration.
Write Down Complete Address First
Time Saved: 1-2 minutes (no pausing to remember street name, barangay, ZIP code)
What to Prepare (Copy-Paste Ready Format):
Street: Mango Street
Barangay: San Isidro
City/Municipality: Makati City
Province: Metro Manila
ZIP Code: 1234
Save this in Notes app or text file. During registration, copy each field – no thinking required!
⚡ Speed Hack: Create a template with your address. Use it for all family members (just change name).
Copy Name EXACTLY from ID Beforehand
Time Saved: 1 minute + avoids rejection (no second-guessing capitalization, spelling)
Steps to Get It Perfect:
- Look at your physical ID carefully
- Type your name in Notes app EXACTLY as shown:
- Match ALL CAPS if ID is ALL CAPS
- Include commas, periods, hyphens
- Include middle initial if shown
- Include Jr./Sr./III if shown
- Double-check character by character
- Save in Notes app
- During registration: Copy and paste – ZERO chance of typo
❌ Don’t: Type name from memory during registration. ✅ Do: Copy exact text from ID beforehand.
Have ID Details Ready to Type
Time Saved: 30-60 seconds (no squinting at ID to read number)
What to Note Down:
- ID Type: e.g., “Driver’s License” or “National ID”
- ID Number: Full number (letters + numbers)
- Birthdate: Format as MM/DD/YYYY (Globe’s preferred format)
Save in Notes app with your name and address. Have everything in one place for instant copy-paste.
📝 Template Example: Create a “Globe Registration Info” note with all details. Open it before starting registration.
Process Optimization Hacks (During Registration)
These 4 hacks speed up the actual registration process:
Register During Off-Peak Hours
Time Saved: 2-4 minutes (instant OTP, fast server response)
⚡ FASTEST Registration Times:
| Time Window | OTP Speed | Server Load |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM | 30-60 seconds | Minimal |
| 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | 1-2 minutes | Low |
| 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM | 1-2 minutes | Low |
| 10:00 PM – 12:00 AM | 30-90 seconds | Very Low |
❌ AVOID These Peak Times:
- 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (lunch rush – OTP delay 3-5 min)
- 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (after work – OTP delay 3-7 min)
- Weekends 10 AM – 8 PM (OTP delay 2-5 min)
📊 Data: Early morning (6-8 AM) registrations are 4x faster than evening registrations due to instant OTP delivery and zero server congestion.
Use GlobeOne App (Not Website)
Time Saved: 1-2 minutes (auto-fill features, faster photo upload)
Why App is Faster:
| Feature | Website | GlobeOne App |
|---|---|---|
| Name auto-fill | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (if existing user) |
| Address auto-fill | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (from account) |
| Photo upload | Browse files | Direct camera access |
| OTP delivery | SMS only | Push notification + SMS |
| Progress saving | ❌ No | ✅ Auto-save draft |
✅ Result: App users report 40% faster registration times due to smart auto-fill and seamless integration.
Skip Selfie, Upload Pre-Taken Photo
Time Saved: 1-2 minutes (no repositioning, retaking, adjusting lighting)
Before Registration Starts:
- Find good lighting (near window)
- Take 2-3 selfies using camera app
- Requirements:
- Face clearly visible (no glasses/hats)
- Neutral expression
- Plain background
- Good lighting (face not in shadow)
- Pick the clearest photo
- Save to gallery (name it “Selfie for Globe”)
- During registration: Upload from gallery instead of taking live selfie
💡 Why This Works: Taking selfie during registration adds pressure. Pre-taking gives you time to get the perfect shot without rushing.
Use Autocomplete/Autofill Features
Time Saved: 30-60 seconds (instant field population)
Enable Browser/Phone Autofill:
For Chrome (Desktop/Mobile):
- Settings → Autofill → Addresses
- Add your complete address once
- During registration, Chrome suggests auto-completing address fields
For iPhone:
- Settings → Safari → AutoFill → Contact Info
- Select your contact card with address
- Safari auto-fills address fields during registration
Expert-Level Hacks (Maximum Speed)
Have 2 Devices Ready (Phone + Computer)
Time Saved: 1-2 minutes (multitask while waiting for OTP)
Advanced Strategy:
- Computer: Open registration portal (larger screen = easier form filling)
- Phone: Keep nearby to receive OTP SMS instantly
- While waiting for OTP on computer: Use phone to verify all info is correct
- As soon as SMS arrives on phone: Type code into computer immediately
- No need to switch between windows or apps
OR reverse: Register on phone, use computer to have all details displayed on larger screen for quick reference.
Create a “Registration Kit” Folder
Time Saved: 3-5 minutes (everything in one place for multiple registrations)
One-Time Setup (saves time on ALL future registrations):
- Create phone folder named “Globe Registration Kit”
- Add to folder:
- ID photo (clear, high-quality)
- Selfie photo (good lighting, neutral expression)
- Screenshot of complete address (from Notes app)
- Screenshot of ID details (type, number, birthdate)
- Screenshot of name exactly as on ID
- For family members: Create sub-folders for each person
- During registration: All files in one place – just tap and upload
🚀 Ultimate Speed: With this kit ready, registration takes 2-3 minutes total. Just open → tap photos → paste text → submit!

Speed Killers: Mistakes That Slow You Down
❌ Starting Without Preparation
Result: Pausing mid-registration to find ID, remember address, retake photos. Adds 5-7 minutes.
❌ Registering During Peak Hours
Result: OTP delays of 3-7 minutes. Server slowness. Timeout errors requiring restart.
❌ Taking Photos During Registration
Result: Rushed photos → Blurry/glare → Rejection → Restart entire process. Wastes 10+ minutes.
❌ Typing From Memory
Result: Typos in name/address → Rejection → Resubmission. Each error costs 3-5 minutes.
❌ Not Double-Checking Before Submit
Result: Missing field, wrong format → Rejection → Start over. Prevention takes 30 sec, fixing takes 5+ min.
❌ Weak Internet Connection
Result: Failed uploads, timeouts, lost progress. Switch to stable WiFi before starting.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I really complete registration in under 5 minutes?
Yes! With proper preparation (hacks 1-4) and registering during off-peak hours (hack 5), 3-5 minute registration is achievable. The key is: pre-take all photos, prepare all information beforehand, and register when servers aren’t congested (6-8 AM or 10 PM-12 AM). Users who follow all 10 hacks consistently report 3-5 minute completion times with first-attempt success.
❓ Which hack saves the most time?
Hack #5 (registering during off-peak hours) saves the most time – 2-4 minutes – because it eliminates OTP waiting time and server delays. The second biggest time-saver is Hack #1 (pre-taking ID photo), which saves 2-3 minutes by avoiding fumbling with camera during registration. Combined, these two hacks alone save 4-7 minutes.
❓ Do I need to use ALL 10 hacks or just some?
You can pick and choose! Each hack independently saves time. For maximum speed (3-5 min), use all 10. For moderate improvement (7-10 min vs 15-20 min), focus on hacks 1-5 (preparation + timing). Minimum for noticeable improvement: Use at least hacks #1 (pre-take ID photo), #3 (copy name exactly), and #5 (off-peak hours) – these three alone save 5-7 minutes.
❓ Will pre-taking photos reduce quality or cause rejection?
No! Pre-taken photos are often HIGHER quality because you have time to set up proper lighting, check focus, and retake if needed – without registration time pressure. Make sure photos meet requirements: (1) ID photo: all corners visible, no glare, text readable when zoomed; (2) Selfie: face clear, good lighting, neutral expression. Pre-taking actually REDUCES rejection risk because you can review and perfect photos beforehand.
❓ How long does preparation take for first-time setup?
Initial preparation (creating “Registration Kit”) takes 5-10 minutes one time. This includes: taking good ID photo (2 min), taking good selfie (2 min), typing address in Notes (2 min), copying name/ID details (2 min), organizing in folder (2 min). BUT this 10-minute investment saves 12-15 minutes EVERY time you register (yourself, family members, future SIMs). Total time saved increases with each registration – highly worth it!
