Frequently asked questions

How much does a Cherry Roam pocket WiFi cost per day?+

Cherry Roam lists its pocket WiFi at PHP 50 a day, which sits at 2 on daily price among the 59 brands compared. Daily data on that rate is unlimited and renews at midnight Philippine time, and fixed plans with a set data allowance are also available.

Is there a deposit, and how does it compare?+

The unit comes with a deposit of PHP 2,000, which places Cherry Roam at 6 among the 18 brands compared on deposit. Readers who want a lighter upfront amount can weigh the deposit listed for QCell at GMD 5,000 alongside it.

Is the data genuinely unlimited?+

Unlimited data is one of the listed features, unlimited data, 5g and hotspot, and the daily allowance renews each day at midnight Philippine time rather than running as one long block. Fixed plans use a set data allowance instead, which suits lighter use on a trip.

How far does the coverage reach?+

Coverage runs to 150 countries, and plans are sold on a regional and global basis, so regional and global options both appear. Cherry Roam is headquartered in Philippines, and courier delivery is set up for Metro Manila, with other areas arranged through support.

Can my whole group share one device?+

A single unit connects 5 to 16 devices at once, and hotspot sharing is supported, so phones, tablets and a laptop can share the connection. 5G is supported as well, which makes one unit workable for a family or small group rather than one device each.

How do I get the device, and can I add data later?+

Top-ups are available, so data can be extended mid-trip without a new booking. Instant activation is among the listed features, unlimited data, 5g and hotspot, and delivery inside Metro Manila is by courier with a fee attached, while outside Metro Manila it is arranged through support.

How do I get help once I am abroad?+

Cherry Roam is an MVNO based in Philippines, and support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is available in several ways during a trip. Because delivery outside Metro Manila is arranged through support, the same channels handle both setup and problems once you are abroad.

Who runs the service?+

The service is run by Cherrymobile Communications Inc., an MVNO headquartered in Philippines, so the terms and support sit with a Philippine entity. Support is reachable on email, chat and phone if anything goes wrong with activation, delivery or a top-up.
