Globe Telecom officially launched their postpaid plans for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C which includes a gadget upgrade program that will allow you to trade in your current phone for the new iPhone for free or with a one-time cashout.
What’s interesting with the iPhone Forever Plan is that as long as you maintain your plan for at least 12 months, you can upgrade to the next new iPhone once it comes out the following year by trading-in the iPhone you got from this plan. After 24 months, you can get a new iPhone just by re-contracting.
