I just browsed at the Globe website and it says you need a 3g capable phone and a "3g provisioned sim" to make video calls over Globe 3g. What does "3g provisioned sim" mean?

"USIM - UMTS Subscriber Identity Module
Usually referred to as a SIM card, the USIM (UMTS Subscriber Identity Module) is the user subscription to the UMTS mobile network. The USIM contains relevant information that enables access onto the subscribed operator’s network."
So Globe might use USIM while Smart uses their regular sim na basta 3g configured, ok na. If Globe subscribers have purchase another sim to use 3G, that would not be so convenient.

Globe started using USIM when they had demo at Glorietta Activity Center. Then eventually, they decided that no need for a USIM when 3G is rolled out.
3G Provisioned SIM means that Globe will provide you with a special SIM for you to use their 3G service but I think this will no longer necessary by 2nd quarter.
Smart is using Nokia platform in their 3G while Globe is a combination of Nokia & Ericsson & a few more.

I hope they consider offer 3G data flat rate scheme - P300 for unlimited data for example. My place in QC has pretty good 3G coverage for Smart at the moment and I've been using it a lot. It would be useful when wireless VoIP becomes more prevalent.
