For now, Globe and PLDT are urging their 3G customers to shift to 4G, the prevailing mobile standard in the Philippines. They also continue to support 2G , which is mainly used by subscribers using phones for basic call and text messaging features especially in areas with poor internet coverage.

The Philippines operates on a GSM phone network , and T-Mobile and AT&T are the only U.S. carriers using the GSM network, according to CNET. Other U.S. providers use the CDMA network and may have less extensive roaming capabilities overseas than AT&T and T-Mobile.

In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1900 MHz .
