Globe Wireless... SIMs Into Milestones (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Globe Wireless has reached a significant milestone, surpassing one million...

...GSM minutes per month. Since its launch in April 2009, GlobeMobile has grown to become the world’s largest Maritime GSM network with more than 20,000 active subscribers on just over 1,300 vessels. GlobeMobile provides complete flexibility for crew members including: standard voice calls to and from the vessel, SMS messaging, and free onboard mobile-to-mobile calling.


GlobeMobile can be used with Inmarsat FleetBroadband and VSAT terminals through the Company's unique Globe Wireless built GSM network. Crew members simply insert the GlobeMobile SIM card into their GSM phone, and within a few minutes they are able to send and receive voice calls and SMS messages while at sea.
