Kenneth Cobonpue: BlackBerry performs best with Globe Business
MANILA, Philippines - International industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue may be based in Cebu — with his office and factory located there — but the entire world is his place of business. One day, he could be having a show in New York, and then in Paris a few months later. The challenge, then, is for him to stay in touch with his Cebu headquarters.
Kenneth’s journeys have taken him around the world, whether for business, speaking engagements or for his personal travels (which are a source of inspiration for his celebrated designs). His favorite gadget for keeping in touch is still his BlackBerry Bold 9900. He maximizes the capabilities of his BB smartphone through the Business Flex package that comes with it through Globe Business.
“No matter how impressive a BlackBerry handset is, I’ve found that only the high-tech, reliable network of Globe Business makes it work at peak level. I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving the country without my BlackBerry Bold 9900. I depend on it for my emails, my calls and other messages — whether for business or personal use.
“In a pinch, I could even use it as a camera to capture an image of something in my natural surroundings that may later serve as an inspiration for my designs. For me, it’s the perfect tool for entrepreneurs,” he says.
Customized Business Flex Plans
According to Manny Aligada, head of Corporate & SME Segments, Globe Business, the Business Flex plans from Globe Business are especially designed for an entrepreneur’s needs, especially those who, like Kenneth, need to travel across the country or overseas.
“We at Globe Business believe that effective communication is important to the growth of any enterprise regardless of its size. With our Business Flex deals, our customers pay only for what they need. And they also get to enjoy the lowest call and text rates to other networks — they can maximize their company resources,” says Manny.
Business Flex offers unlimited calling within one’s pre-registered circle of contacts. Other available services include: bulk or unlimited calling to Globe/TM, landline, or overseas calls; and bulk or unlimited messages to Globe/TM or other networks. This results in greater value for money and lower communications costs for entrepreneurs.
Besides these, a Business Flex subscriber also has the option to avail of bulk or unlimited mobile browsing and/or Blackbery services. The subscriber has the option to mix and match these services, or avail of other add-on services. The businessman who is always on-the-go will benefit from these services, as these keep him or her informed and in touch with family, friends and business contacts.
Business Flex subscribers also receive a free handset, as well as handset insurance (for the high end plans).
Business Flex offers special plans for BlackBerry users. In Kenneth’s case, he received his BlackBerry Bold 9900 free with his Plan 3799 subscription.
Kenneth’s Globe Business Flex Plan 3799 includes unlimited call and text
To Globe/TM; free international call and text; and free mobile surfing. The plan also comes with unlimited access to BlackBerry Enterprise Server including email, BlackBerry Messenger, IM, social networking, and Internet browsing.
Another great feature of Plan 3799 is the free insurance of the handset. It is something that Kenneth finds very reassuring. “Whenever we travel, we always have the risk of losing our mobile phone. It’s good to know that my BlackBerry Bold 9900 is insured by Globe Business,” he said.
The insurance on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and other phones in the Plan 3799 and other Business Plus packages is provided free by Globe Business to subscribers.
“The free insurance is definitely our competitive advantage on this plan. With our Plan 3799, entrepreneurs would have peace of mind in case their phone is lost or damaged, which can jeopardize their business operations,” Manny shares.
