Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Is the GlobeOne app free to download and use?
Yes, the GlobeOne app is completely FREE to download from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges. SIM registration through the app is also free. You only need internet data to use the app (approximately 10-15MB for registration process).
❓ Can I register multiple Globe numbers in one GlobeOne app?
Yes, you can add and manage multiple Globe numbers in a single GlobeOne app account. After logging in, tap “Add Number” in the Account section, verify the new number with OTP, and register each one individually. This is useful if you have separate numbers for personal and work use.
❓ What if I don’t have a smartphone to use the app?
If you don’t have a smartphone or can’t use the GlobeOne app, you have two alternatives: (1) Register via the Globe website using any device with internet browser (computer, tablet, even basic smartphone browser), or (2) Visit a Globe Store for in-person registration assistance. Both methods are equally valid and free.
❓ Does the app save my ID and selfie photos?
No, the GlobeOne app does NOT save your ID or selfie photos in your phone’s gallery after submission. Photos are uploaded directly to Globe’s secure servers for verification and then removed from the app’s temporary storage. This protects your privacy. The photos are only stored in Globe’s encrypted database for regulatory compliance purposes.
❓ Can I use the app to check my registration status later?
Yes! This is one of the best features of using the app. Go to Account → SIM Info → Registration Status to check if your registration is Pending, Approved, or Rejected. The app also sends you a push notification when your registration is approved (usually within 24-48 hours). You can check status anytime without calling customer service.
