Globe has launched its VoLTE (Voice over LTE) roaming capabilities, starting with partners in Asia and the USA.

- Australia via Optus

- India via Aritel
- Japan via Softbank

VoLTE enables users to make high-definition voice calls, send texts, and use mobile data simultaneously without older technologies. It provides uninterrupted connectivity, faster call setup, and concurrent voice and data use—all at no extra cost beyond regular roaming rates.
“Traveling abroad should not mean being cut off from life back home. With VoLTE roaming, Globe ensures that our customers stay fully connected wherever they are, whether making calls for real-time updates or receiving important text notifications such as OTPs from their most-used apps. The last thing they should worry about is losing communication,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Head of Globe International Business.
Without VoLTE roaming, Globe customers may face challenges such as the inability to make voice calls and send texts in countries that have phased out 2G and 3G networks.
To use VoLTE roaming, customers need:
- a VoLTE-capable device
- an account provisioned for VoLTE
- an LTE signal from Globe’s roaming partners.
Customers are encouraged to check device compatibility and enable VoLTE in their settings before traveling.
“Traveling abroad should be a delightful experience. With our rapidly expanding global VoLTE roaming footprint, Globe customers can focus on enjoying every adventure, knowing their mobile service has their back,” Castillo added.
Globe has also launched VoLTE roaming with inbound partners in the Philippines, making the service available to travelers.
