The FREEBIES are a lot more clearer now.. I hate it when they breakup the lines and say free! I really thought  it was Free calls and text to Globe/TM, albeit, unli call and text. Good thing this 'free' is really free this time unlike the (previous?) G-Plans (non-consumable plans)!!! ^consumable amounts can ONLY be used for calls, text, and mobile surfing. Share-A-Load, wallpaper downloads, ringtone downloads, and others will be charged on top of your bill!

Part 3: Explanation.

You get to consume the amount that you pay for plus freebies unlike the G-Plans (that I think Globe is still offering). Gotta love these consumable plans! I am currently on a 250 consumable extension line and it is really flexible! (but now I'm planning to switch to this) Here are some examples. First: 299 (E) What you get: unlimited calls and texts to only 1 Globe/TM number and consume 199 for other things* You pay: 299** Second: Plan 299 (A) What you get: 10 min calls & 200 SMS to Globe/TM and you get use the 299 for other things* or in a different perspective, 10 mins + 499 texts to Globe or 56 mins of call + 200 SMS to Globe... sweet :-) You pay: 299** Third: Plan 499 (A, E) What you get: 10 min calls, 200 SMS to Globe/TM, unlimited calls and text to 1 Globe number and consume 399 for other things* You pay: 499** Fourth: Plan 499 (E, E) What you get: unlimited calls and text to 2 Globe numbers and consume 299 for other things* You pay: 499 only** Fifth: Plan 1799 (A, A, D, E, E) [I guess by now you get the point] What you get: 20 min call, 200 SMS to Globe/TM, 3hours mobile surfing, unlimited calls and text to 2 Globe numbers and consume 1,799 for other things* (P200 is not consumed) You pay: 1,799** * consume the total amount (example 199) for 199 text messages, 30 min for Globe-to-Globe call, OR 9 hours mobile surfing (example 299) 299 text messages or 46 mins of Globe-to-Globe calls, OR 14 hours of mobile surfing **if you did not go over your consumable balance or avail of other services

Part 4: Verdict.

If you are on a tight budget and  only call and text people sometimes and have a significant other subscribed to Globe the Plan 299 (E) is perfect because you get to enjoy unlimited texting and calling to your significant other and  use the 199 for texting or calling your family members and other friends or surfing the net (Google Maps navigation, checking email, or Google searching on the fly). I like it and I set it as an example because my bill last month sky rocketed to 850 pesos instead of the usual 250, because my significant other likes to ask for load and avail of UNLITXT and of course I have to reply to all the messages sent to me. I don't text a lot and most of my load is consumed when replying to people with UNLITXT!

Part 5: Other information (FYI)

• Lock-in period is 1 year for a subscriber who did not avail of a handset. 2 years for those who availed for a handset.
• There is a early termination fee of P550 if you want to cancel out early. (You still need to pay for the handset if you avail of it)
• Unused freebies will not carry-over to the next month.
• You can change your freebies as often as every month. (let's say your significant other does not want to load up on July, then opt for A instead of E for July)
• Plan 999 and above will NOT consume P100 from your consumable amount when availing of the SUPER ONE freebie (E) [another perspective of the first fine print]
• You shall not unlock the phone given to you by Globe. (do it after the lock-in period hehe')
• You can also avail for other handsets than the ones provided.
