plan inclusions
Free call - 100mins
Free text - 350 text

rates
Call rate - Php 7.00
Text rate - Php 1.00




Computation:
Load equivalent for calls
100 mins x 7.00 = Php 700
Load equivalent for texts
350 texts x 1.00 = Php 350

Total load equivalent = Php 1,050.00
 
Being able to have an equivalent of 1,050.00 from monthly payment of 1,599.00 , we can say that you will be paying the phone for P 549.00 monthly.

And since you will be locked in to globe for 24 months (2 years) this will be the total payment you will be making for the phone:
P 549.00 x 24 months (lock in period) = P 13,176.00

All in all, your iPhone will cost

Iphone 3g 8gb - P 7,200.00 + P 13,176.00 = P 20,376.00
Iphone 3gs 16gb - P 12,850.00 + P 13,176.00 = P 26,026.00
Iphone 3gs 32gb - P 18,450.00+ P 13,176.00  = P 31,626.00

for reference , these are the price of various iphone models on the market:
Iphone 3g 8gb - P 27,000.00
Iphone 3gs 16gb - P 33,200.00
Iphone 3gs 32gb - P 38,200.00
