    Any tips? Am currently using Globe prepaid, then nagsusubscribe na lang ako to GoSurf299. i also redeem Rewards now and then for mobile internet.

    Google for Globe prepaid tips and tricks ... currently using 246.00 monthly for 500 minutes Globe/TM calls, 1000 all net SMS and 1GB data ... good thing is you can rollover to next month any unused minutes, SMS and data ...

    Bro much better ang internet connection overall ng Globe vs Smart imho. Stick with Globe. Mas mura internet sa prepaid nila.

    Hindi risky ito? I read some people tried to avail of these bugs, but if you are unlucky enough to have Globe fix it before you register, then you will still be charged and get nothing.

    I am amazed, this is super cheap, for 300/month my starter plan, I only get 300 mins call Globe/TM, 300 all net texts and 200mb data, it can also be rolled over indefinitely.

    If you are using android it has a setting that you can turn off background mobile data. This means it will not allow apps to use the internet in the background while mobile. Also use Facebook lite and messenger lite of you must have these apps.

    My colleague is using this and yes I am amazed pag nakita ko free minutes (unli ata globe to globe) and texts niya.

    Is that illegal? Or hack? Glitch?

    How come allowed kay globe?

    Go to settings, then Data Usage. Then click the menu on the upper right corner. There should be "restrict background data" there.

    This will block apps using internet on background, but you will still be able to use internet when the app is on foreground. Also works only mobile data, when on wifi it won't be blocked.

    But of course it will also block your email and messenger apps since those are backgrounds. So you won't get update unless you sync the email manually or connect to a wifi.

    these are actual call/text/data promos from globe, but someone or probably somebody from globe released to the internet a workaround or tricks as others say, that when you combine some of these combo promos it will extend the validity to 30 days instead of the regular 3-7 days...

    TRUE SMART IS CHEAP but datawise you can hardly connect.

    Right now I'm using Smart's GIGA99 - 3GB shareable internet data + 600MB for YouTube, iFlix + Unli FB valid for 7 days. Promo is up till July 10 only, then it's back to 1.5GB and 300MB respectively. I'm using this in both my pocket wifi for home use and my celphone for mobile use. I can do PASADATA from the phone to the pocket wifi kung maubusan na ng load sa latter. I'm using it kasi with my laptop for browsing and occassional YouTube videos. If I want to do heavy YT viewing, I do it in my brother or sister's house where they have unli broadband data.

    Except for the network upgrades that caused some outage in the past days, okay naman connection ko with Smart. It's mostly 4G with switching to 3G infrequently at speeds of 21 to 38Mbps downloads and 21 to 33Mbps uploads. Of course, at such speeds, youtube switches automatically to HD, so sandali lang ubos na rin yung 3GB even before the 7 days is up.



    There is also SurfMax with unli data, with validity of 1/ 2 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 15 and 30 days. The only catch is it has an FUP cap of 800MB per day. Once you reached that, your speed is throttled. For Globe, the "unli" plan is even stringent, with a cap of only 3GB per month.

    Hinay hinay lang sa speed test ng mobile data. It consumes around 50mb of data per test.
