Posted on May 30th, 2012. Written by Rico.

Interested in getting a Samsung Galaxy S III bundled with one of Globe’s postpaid plans? Here are the total costs you can expect to shoulder over two years.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is the company’s latest “flagship” phone, marketed as the smartphone with the best hardware and capability built in from the manufacturer. It’s predecessor was the highly-praised Galaxy S II, which set new standards for performance and speed for mobile phones.

You can pre-order the Galaxy S III from Globe through here. Available colors are “Pebble Blue” and “Marble White”:

The S III is available under “Promotional Pricing” through a variety of Globe postpaid plans:

	Plan	Freebies	Consumable	Cashout for Phone	Monthly fee under cashout installment	Total 2-year cost
MySuperPlan Unli Surf Combo (Unlimited data included)	Plan 999	1	None	₱16,800	₱1,699	₱40,776
	Plan 1799	3	₱800	₱4,800	₱1,999	₱47,976
	Plan 2499	5	₱1,500	None	Not applicable	₱59,976
	Plan 3799	7	₱2,800	None	Not applicable	₱91,176
MySuperPlan	All-Unli Plan	None	None	₱24,648	Depends on subscriber	₱24,648 +base monthly fee
	Plan 299	1	None	₱26,808	₱1,426	₱34,224
	Plan 499	2	None	₱24,640	₱1,526	₱36,624
	Plan 999	3	None	₱16,800	₱1,699	₱40,776

Subscribers availing of these plans can opt to pay the cashout for the phone upfront, or divide it over the 24-month length of the contract if they are Citibank or BPI credit card holders. For those who pay the cashout in full, the monthly fee is reflected by the number in the plan name. For example: for Plan 999 it’s ₱999 a month.

The “Unli Surf Combo” plans are reminiscent of what was available for the iPhone 4S, and should be appealing for users who’ve always had a good 3G/4G connection with Globe. The Plan 999 in particular—with its total two-year cost of ₱40,776—may prove very appealing to new and renewing subscribers, as pointed out by MigsMobile.net.
