    Subscribed! :D 30 days free trial + ONLY 129php?, that's a really good deal if you ask me!

    Now that i've got the "Available Offline" option back (Coca-cola trial expired), i'm replacing stock "Music" app with Spotify on my iPhone's dock for good.

    Off T: you can listen to our music via Spotify too. ToneDef recordings or ToneDef beats. Sorry for the shameless plug. But our music has been with Spotify since last year except it took them awhile to bring their service here. Congrats to Spotify!

    Goodbye Spinnr (SMART)!

    Hello Globe Telecom (spotify.globe.com.ph)

    I happen to like testing links. I took a gamble when I got whiff of the news about Globe being Spotify's local partner through Yugatech.

    I'm a smart subscriber so I cannot try, how does the globe Spotify partnership work? Can I get premium and pay via globe load or something?

    Just tried the link @rdy0329. Entered my mobile number and it said I need to have a GoSurf (via GoSakto) data plan/promo.

    EDIT: "We’ve also struck an exclusive deal with one of the biggest telco companies in the Philippines, Globe Telecom to offer their users a more convenient way to subscribe to Spotify Premium as part of Globe’s new Go Surf bundle, also launching today."

    So Globe will launch the GoSurf promos/plans today. Maybe that includes the 5GB for P999 one that we've seen on their Galaxy S5 plans.

    Forgot to mention is does not work yet. From the news I've seen so far, Spotify will come free for Globe's GoSurf Subscribers and there will be a standalone premium subscription for postpaid not under GoSurf subscription (charge to bill, perhaps?).

    GoSurf pertains to tiered data packages Globe is about to roll out for postpaid subs.

    For prepaid, I'm not sure.

    just thought i'd share this, to those who want to add friends that are logged in not via facebook, you can put this string on the spotify search bar and input their username to follow them :)

    spotify:user:username

    So here's what the Spotify and Globe partnership is all about:

    Not bad. I wish they included 1GB on P299 though as we get that amount on GoSakto. But still, considering Spotify Premium is P129 alone, P170 for 700MB of data a month is a better deal than the old PowerSurf 299 which only had 300MB.

    GoSurf 299 for 700MB of data, Free FB and Spotify is a great deal IMHO. It seems like they are appeasing subs now which is good. Hopefully there's a 2GB option for 499 in the future, with that, I'll be a happy camper.

    am i correct in assuming that the data consumed by spotify will not eat away at the already measly data allocation we get?
