Globe APN Settings for Mobile Internet on Android [✏]

August 12, 2012

It's not everywhere that we find a signal for wifi network. That's why it's still advantageous to be subscribed to an unlimited data plan. Alternatively this is also available to prepaid subscribers with a rate of Php10 per 30 minutes of connection.

For Android users that are Globe subscribers and want to connect the internet via the mobile network, here's the APN settings that worked for my phone which is an HTC Wildfire S running on Android 2.3.5.

Name:      [you can put any name here]
APN:        www.globe.com.ph
Proxy:       203.177.42.214
Port:         8080
Authenitcation Type:  PAP
APN Type:   default

Leave the other fields with their default values. With these settings you can now connect to the globe mobile network and surf the internet.


~o~

For the month of July, I was one of those Globe subscribers who availed of their one-month long promo of free access to mobile Twitter. Through this, I got to explore the settings of mobile network on my phone. This information could be helpful for other subscribers of the network so I decided to make a post about it. :)
[UPDATE]: Many have found this post helpful and I'm glad that this setting worked for you. As for those asking, I'd reiterate points here that have been asked several times by blog visitors *see long list of comments below*


  • You need balance to be able to surf using this setting.
          You need at least Php5.00 to be able to surf the internet (Regular rates cost P5/15minutes).


  • Internet connection using this setting may be very sloooow.
          Internet speed actually would depend on the 3G signal in your location. As for me, internet was fastest when I'm in Manila. Worst case I've experienced was the internet was too slow that no web page would load. I had to refresh the page several times before the web page loaded successfully. This may be the case for those who posted that this setting is not working for them. Certain apps (i.e. Facebook) may also encounter errors/exceptions because it cannot connect successfully to the internet.


  • I recommend to use Opera Mini Browser when using this setting. 
          This browser uses less data (compared to other mobile browsers) in surfing the mobile net. With a slow connection, this browser can load web pages faster because it needs fewer data to load the pages. Other browsers would still work too though.


  • I have tried  this setting only on a Globe simcard.

          I haven't used this on a TM, but maybe it would work too. Just try it yourself. :D

If your question was not answered by the points above, scroll down on the comments section below. Others might have posted the same question that you have. :)

~o~

[UPDATE (July 19, 2013)]
Hi guys. I've tried using this setting for 3G recently and to my surprise, it was not working and displayed 'Invalid APN Setting'. I am not sure what happened but it was connecting properly before. Maybe Globe modified the network setting?

Anyway, please continue sending your feedback. I hope this becomes fixed soon.

 [UPDATE (October 27, 2013)]
I think it's working again! I tried to connect again from my phone today and no error was displayed. I was able to load a page (twitter.com) but the connection is still too slow. :O

[UPDATE April 24, 2015]
So I received this advisory from Globe, and by the looks of it, you won't be needing to set up any setting or configuration on your phone to start mobile surfing! Read their advisory below:

Experience a new way of surfing with Globe Prepaid! Now you can go online automatically using your phone even without configuring the internet settings. To avoid unexpected charges, turn on SurfAlert. This FREE service will put browsing on hold when your device tries to connect online and you're not registered to a surf promo. For info, dial *143# > My Account > Mobile Internet Usage. You  can also turn off your cellular data in your phone settings. Have a wonderful day!
I have not tried this myself. Have you? Share your experience on the comments below. :D

    In my phone (HTC Wildfire S), the above settings can be applied by going to

    Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

    then choose 'New APN' in the Menu.

      @Anthony: Please don't post your mobile number here. As for your question, try surfing the internet after connecting via Mobile Network and see if the page would load.

      @kim: Maybe there's something written in your phone's manual for that. :)

      I am not that familiar with the config on other phones. On mine, the APN type is a text field and you just have to type the words "default" on it.

      Hmmm. I suggest you try all three of them and see if one works.

      Yes it can. It will work just like when you are connected on a wifi network with internet access. The speed of the connection will just depend on the 3G signal in your location.

      That would really depend on your location. As for my experience, loading and posting on my twitter timeline would take at least 10 seconds (I'm in Manila). I really haven't tried surfing the internet or logging in on FB via 3G so I don't have a rough idea on the general speed of the connection.

      0.0 Try surfing the net during the wee hours of the morning. Usually it's faster during that time. If it's still slow, then it's really in the signal in your location. Maybe you could report that to Globe, so that they can improve their service in your area. :D

    5. katalinarosario27 December 2012 at 15:48

      It means during the very early hours of the morning (1:00AM - 6:00AM for me). The connection gets faster I think because most people are asleep and are not online therefore there's less traffic in the internet highway. :D

      Hehe. Good luck! ^________^

      By 'activate apn' you mean setting up the values above? No, you don't need load to do that. Just access the settings on your phone and set up the values indicated. You'd only need load once you connect to 3G via those settings.

    Ganito din naging problema ko for a month,after mag send ng apn update tong globe na nainstall ko naman na hindi ko alam na ganito pala mangyayari eh dun na nagsimula ang isang buwan na kalbaryo. Nakaka connect naman ako tru wifi pero yun nga sa mobile data hindi na. Umabot pa ako sa point na pinatos ko yung free browse na nilalagay ng mga marunong mag hack ng free net kaso diko matagalan yung bagal at 5mbps lang kaya sa mga files na pwedeng idownload. After ng mahaba habang reasearch natry ko din to yung tulad ng sabi ng nag blog kaso di tumalab sa phone ko actually samsung galaxy s4 gamit ko ilang tips na ginawa ko then finally kagabi nakita ko yung options sa apn settings ko na "reset to default" clinick ko yun then nawala mga apn settings na nilagay para makapag browse ka ng libre naisip ko baka gumana na ulit pag ka click ko sa globe prepaid apn settings ko boom sobrang bilis na ulit ng net ko nagagamit ko na yung mobile data ko.

    I think I just need to thank you for this :)
    Just got my new smartphone and not much of this phone in Philippines (Oppo R819), its a really great phone but the Data Settings (APN) is not ready here (unlike my Note 2), looked for several threads, post and blogs til I found this one. Apparently, the Configuration Settings sent by globe doesn't accept the default PIN which is "1234" so I need to configure it Manually. Thanks for this! 3G is now working in my phone :)

      Hi Ivan! You're welcome! How's the connection speed on yours? It's still too slow on my phone, takes lots of time to load a standard webpage.

      Hi! Sorry, di ko pa na-try mag-configure sa ibang phone maliban sa HTC, so hindi ko alam.

    sometimes, it really takes so slow to browse the internet on globe. but i understand that!
    but compared to any other networks. GLOBE IS THE BEST AND COULD BE BETTER :) I LOVE GLOBE! :)

    Thanks for the list of proxies - they are becoming more and more important in todays climate just to access basic sites such as twitter.com. Another one to mention, which I currently use, as it always enforces access 1337x in UK
