Global insurtech bolttech has partnered with Globe, the Philippines’ mobile leader, to launch Flagship Forever, the first device upgrade programme of its kind in the country. The initiative is designed to provide Globe customers with more freedom, accessibility, and affordability when owning flagship smartphones. A sustainable solution for customers that would like to early upgrade.
Programme launched nationwide in August
Flagship Forever officially launched this August in Globe stores across the Philippines, as well as through dedicated relationship managers for Platinum subscribers. The offering builds on the successful partnership between bolttech and Globe, following their earlier collaboration on Gadget Xchange, a postpaid programme that simplified device switching for consumers.
Hassle-free annual smartphone upgrades
With Flagship Forever, Globe customers can upgrade their devices to the latest flagship models every year. By simply trading in their current device, customers avoid pretermination fees and can choose from premium devices such as the Samsung Z and S Series and the upcoming Apple iPhone 17. Re-contracting subscribers can also upgrade as early as the 12th month of their existing plan, rather than waiting for the full 24 months.
Added benefits and flexible options
The programme offers comprehensive device protection, including screen repairs, replacements, and device switching. Customers benefit from flexible plans that include one free month for selected packages. Plans 2499 and 3799 come with affordable add-on fees, making the programme attractive to a wide range of Globe subscribers seeking premium devices.
Executives highlight customer accessibility
Mark Gil Pasaylo, Globe Head of Platinum, emphasised the company’s goal of creating curated experiences. “Our partnership with bolttech allows us to make premium phones very accessible and reachable, a reflection of our commitment to provide curated experiences and customer-centric solutions that truly meet our customers’ needs.”
Alexander Sarmiento, General Manager, Philippines at bolttech, expressed enthusiasm for the expansion: “We are thrilled to expand our ongoing collaboration with Globe to bring Flagship Forever to customers in the Philippines. By combining annual upgrades with complete device protection, customers can stay connected through the latest technology while enjoying meaningful savings in this accessible programme.”
