We have been using the GOSURFBE34 for our data needs for the last five years and we were all at loss as the promo code is no longer valid in the Globe subscription.

With the end of GoSAKTO promo codes, we provide you an alternative to GOSURFBE34 at a higher cost but with more internet data and unlimited text to all network! Yes, we find ways. This is working as of this posting, 3 January 2024.

How to Extend the Validity of Go50 for Students?

From Sun Cellular website, Non-stop surf 50 is for Non-Stop surfing and 100MB open data access. But once registered, you can browse and download large files. However, you cannot watch Netflix using this promo (you might need a VPN to do this). No torrent download. If a site won't load, just turn off-on your modem.

Promo is valid for 3 days.

It was known in prints that this unlimited internet has 800MB cap per day under their FUP. Once 800MB usage is reached, your internet speed will throttle to 2G speed but speed will reset at 12AM of each day. But this is not so, once registered, you can watch Netflix, or  do anything you want in the internet except torrent downloading. Unlimited is real!

Promo is valid for 3 days.

Talk 'N Text subscribers can now enjoy longer validity of their consumable data at a cheaper price. This trick is similar to Globe's Cheapest Consumable 30-and 7-day internet post. Yey, the perk is no longer exclusive for Globe subscribers! This trick is better suitable for your mobile data internet need. I will NOT suggest this to use in your pocket wifi or modem which is usually shared over a number of users. You can now enjoy a month-long internet connection as long as you can manage your daily internet use, setup your mobile data limit in your Android data setting to 3GB and have the notification for 70MB use so that you can track your consumption. I can say that I am a moderate user (Facebook with video streaming, Messenger call/video, Viber, Instagram (IG), 15 mins Youtube, Arena of Valor (AOV), Mobile Legend (ML), Rules of Survival (ROS), Pokemon Go, UCWeb browsing for 30 mins, and my Mobile Banking Apps are my daily apps usage). It won't last for 30 days if you stream movies using this trick i.e. Netflix, iFlix, DramaFever, etc. Also, these TNT promos doesn't have allocations for calls or texts. You can use Facebook Messenger instead.


How to Have 2GB Internet Data Plus 750MB Free Apps for 30 Days for Only PhP180?
Provision:

2GB Consumable Open Access Internet Data
750MB Free Apps Data (Youtube, FB, Messenger, Mobile Legend)
2GB Youtube Data (Valid for the first 2 days only)
Valid for 30 days for only PhP180 

To Register:
1. Make sure you have at least PhP180 load in your TNT SIM.
2. Send GAANSURF150 to 4545 and wait for confirmation (PhP150). If 1.5GB internet data and 750MB of tropa apps are enough for you to last in 30 days, you can stop at this step. If you want additional 500MB and 2GB Youtube Access (for 2 days), do Step 3.
3. Send PDATA30 to 4545 and wait for confirmation (PhP30). Also, you may opt to do this step when your remaining MB from your GAANSURF is becoming low, like when you are on your 20th day and your Gaansurf data is only 200MB, you can then register to this promo. It is not necessary that you register to this promo right away so that you can manage if you have the need for additional 500MB.
4. Done. Enjoy your internet connection for 30 days!

Need More Data?
If you will need additional 500MB along your 30 days consumption, you only need to register to PDATA30 as long as you have at least PhP30 in your TNT account. You can do this multiple times if you can afford it and you want more of the 500MB additional. Just remember to do this within your
30 days validity. If you may prefer to have additional 1GB data, you can register to GIGA50 to 4545 at a lower price, PhP50. Unlike when you register twice to PDATA30, it will cost PhP60.

How to Extend the Validity of Your Promo?
An hour or two before your promo expires, register to GAANSURF150 to 4545 again (PhP150).  Through this, your remaining data will be carried over to your new validity with additional 1.5GB consumable internet and 750MB of FREE apps access.

How to Check Your Balance?
Send ?1515 to 214 or use your SIM Menu}Balance Inquiry.

Internet data is now a necessity to everyone who owns a smartphone. Our inclination to the social media sites, websites and communication had made us more dependent on internet access. Our telecommunication providers had provided us with unlimited internet but sadly, with the sense of limited speed and data usage. Where's the justice in the unlimited world, eh? So, we now opted to the consumable internet.

Globe Telco had given us options on their different load packages ranging from text-call only to data only and a mixture of these packages to suit our week and month-long needs. Now, we have another cheaper option for data only! Are we supposed to be happy with this cheaper alternative? If it lessens our expenses, why not?

How to Register to a 30-Day Consumable 2GB Internet?
Allocation: 2GB consumable internet data for 30 days
Price: PhP108.00
Validity: 30 days
No longer working as of July 2018

To register,
1. Send GOSURFBF50 to 8080 and wait for the confirmation (PhP50).
2. Send GOCOMBOAIEBFA29 to 8080 and wait for the confirmation (PhP29).
3. Again, send GOCOMBOAIEBFA29 to 8080 and wait for the confirmation (PhP29).
4. Done. To check your balance, send GOSAKTO STATUS to 8080.

To add another 1GB internet data:
Send GOCOMBOAIEBFA29 to 8080. This costs PhP29. You can do this for several times within your 30-day promo duration as long as you have PhP29 load in your balance. 

I suggest that you use this load package for your mobile internet only. If you use this in your WIFI needs, it will only last for a few hours.

If you need to extend your remaining internet data package, send GOSURFBF50 to 8080 an hour or two before your package expires.

Note: You cannot add call and text package that will last for 30 days unless you get your combo package here.

Since Talk 'n Text now has LTE SIM and LTE network, let's couple it up with their unlimited internet for just PhP20 a day. If you are in a budget and not very particular with streaming or downloading torrent files, then this unlimited internet is for you. This used to be available for Smart users only; but time has changed and is now provided for Talk 'n Text users also.


How to Avail Unlimited Internet for only PhP20/Day?
What you need:
TnT LTE SIM card
LTE capable phone or modem
PhP20.00 load

Provisions:
Unlimited internet for a day without video streaming and torrent downloading restrictions.
Download capable
No capping experience but slow download speed (just leave your download overnight)

Procedure:
1. Insert your TnT LTE SIM to your LTE capable device.
2. Register your SIM to Talk 'n Text unlimited internet by sending UNLI20 to 5555. Wait for confirmation.
3. Once registered, connect your device to the internet and you now have a cheaper internet subscription for a day.
4. Done. Enjoy!

Note: This promo is valid only for unlimited browsing and file downloading. Streaming videos in Youtube and downloading torrent files are not applicable. You may opt to use anonimity softwares to be able to do this. 
If you are not satisfied with the speed, you can register to SURFMAX promos instead. More expensive but full-throttle speed.

Finally, Talk 'n Text has upgraded their SIM cards! The TnT LTE SIM is now available. I have been a TnT user ever since because of their affordable call and text promos. But without a fast and reliable internet speed, I have added Globe in my preference mainly because of Globe's 30-day promos. TnT was not very particular with their internet promos before as they mainly improve their call and text promos one after the other. In the time of 4G and the upcoming 5G speed, I think this upgrade is very timely. One may not want to be leftout with a sluggish 3G speed, eh?
So, I purchased the said TnT LTE SIM and inserted it to my LTE capable modem and availed the UNLI20 promo, unlimited internet for a day. This promo used to be available to Smart users only but later offered to TnT users as well. The signal is in LTE but the speed of internet is not that great during the day. But from 10PM to 7AM, you can say that the speed is in LTE. This may vary depending on your location and your nearness to the Smart's tower. I live where Smart and Globe internet speed do not even reach 3mbps, I guess it was because of my location.

You can now opt to go to Smart store and have your old TnT SIM replaced with this new LTE SIM. If you don't want to retain your old number, you can simply buy the new TnT LTE SIM. 

With this new TnT LTE SIM, you can also register to SURFMAX promos to have the unlimited internet. Maybe with this promo, the speed will greatly increase. Try it and let me know thru the comments below. Note that you need an LTE capable device.

Globe Telecom features are constantly upgrading. Now, not only load denominations can be shared to your friends and family. They have added to their Share-a-Load the new Share-a-Promo. This new feature allows a Globe/TM user to load another Globe/TM user with a GoSurf or unlimited promo through their load sharing system. You no longer have to go to your load retailers to have a GoSurf or unli promo. Just ask your friend to load your SIM and get in touch in the online world.


How to Share-a-Promo in Globe/TM?
Option 1.
Send the KEYWORD to 2+10-digit number of your friend or family. The process is similar to their Share-a-Load.
Ex. GOSURF99 then send to 29051234567
Confirm the sharing and you are done.

Available KEYWORDs are:
GoSURF10, GOSURF15, GOSURF30, GOSURF50, GOSURF505D, GOSURF99, GOUNLI 30, SUPERUNLI 25, GOIDD 200 and GOSURF299.

Option 2.
Instead of sending KEYWORDs, you can opt to dial *143*8# and choose your preferred promo.

Piso will be charged from you in every successful sharing.

For more information about the Share-a-Promo KEYWORDs, visit Globe Share-a-Promo website.

With the continuous upgrading of Globe in their system, especially with those regarding their internet promos, we are now at lost with the cheaper variety of text, call and internet promos. But we will not be totally missing out on the alternatives with the cheapest variants.

Since my previous post in Tricks for Cheap GoSakto Text, Call and Surf is nearly outdated and the comments section is already crowded and old (thanks for the netizen who extended his concern to make a new comment section for this topic, here is the new post), I created this post to come with the New Year, first post. :)

These GoSakto Promos will provide Globe users  (NOT TM users) with an alternative to a longer validity promo at a cheaper cost.

Known Issues:
The system has detected multiple registrations from this mobile number and no longer allowed to register blah blah. Solution is just wait for at least 15 minutes before you register again. Do not hurry to send another codes. Register during off peak hours to prevent this from happening.
The amount for the registration was deducted but the promo was not availed/registered to your account.  Sad to say, the only solution for this is to call Globe Customer Hotline at 211 and report to them that your load was "kinain" during the registration. Globe will graciously return the specific amount if your claim is valid.

Thank you to all sharers who have made these codes known to us for FREE.

3. Done. You can add other promos such as:

a. Send GOCOMBOIKEA35 to 8080 for additional 1GB data (Add PhP35). Other options for additional 1GB: GOTSCOMBOKEA37 and GOCOMBOAKEA38.

To extend, register to GOTSCOMBOEAD41 to 8080 an hour before the expiration of your promo.
To check your remaining data, text GOSAKTO STATUS to 8080.

This is NOT applicable for TM users. 

Known Issues:
1. Our system has detected multiple blah blah... - Do not panic, just wait for about 15-20 mins before registering again. Better if you will register during off-peak hours or early mornings. 
2. You have consumed all your MB before expiration, can I add another 1GB? - Yes you can, BUT it won't last until your expiration. It will only be good for a day. 
3. I have extended my promo earlier than expected, will the additional 7 days be counted after my supposed to be expiration? - No, additional 7 days will start count right after the day you registered. So to make your registration longer, extend only on the day of your expiration, an hour or two before the expiration time.

Thank you to the discoverer of this promo, without you, we will not be able to enjoy this cheaper version.

If you are looking for the cheapest combo promo from Talk 'n Text, I suggest you avail the UnliTextPlus10 promo. Talk 'N Text has upgraded this UTP10 as you can read from my previous post here. This promo is suited for users who prefers the combination of unlimited text with call minutes features and a bit of internet data allocation. For only Php10, you will be provided with unlimited text to Smart/TNT/Sun, 50 consumable minutes calls to Smart/TNT/Sun, 50 allnet texts, and 30MB of internet data for Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Facebook Messenger, etc.

Additionally, you can extend your subscription for another day for only Php5. Extending the promo can be done for 365 days for as long as you have remaining peso balance sufficient to extend. After 7 days of extension, you will be given REWARDS for either unlimited tri-net texts or 100 minutes call to Smart/TNT/Sun for a day. You can enjoy this reward even if your subscription has already expired.

How to Register to UTP10?
Load at least PhP10 and text UTP10 to 4505. Wait for confirmation and start enjoying your subscription.

To extend your promo for a day, text EXTEND to 4545. Each day extension costs PhP5.

To avail of the rewards after 7 days of extension, just follow the instruction from notification that you will receive on how to claim your rewards. Claiming of reward is FREE of charge.

To call when registered to this promo, just dial the number directly. No worries if you have remaining peso balance because you will only be charged from your call minutes balance.

I tried to register to BB DAY today and unfortunately, Smart Communications no longer offer this promo. Instead they sent me an ad regarding their new promo, the Giga Surf 50. With the same amount of PhP50, a subscriber can enjoy 1GB of consumable internet data plus FREE 300MB of Youtube, Iflix, Spinnr, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Skype Qik, and Dubsmash access. (Update: This promo now has unlimited all network texts!) Moreover, if you cannot consume all the data in three days, you can share your remaining data allocation to your friends or family using the new PASADATA feature of Smart (just like in PASALOAD). Minimum data to share is 50MB.

I also searched if Globe has a better promo for Php50. To match this Smart's new promo, Globe has upgraded its GoSurf50 with 1GB data for internet usage plus 300MB data for a chosen app (i.e. Viber, Spotify, SnapChat, Youtube, DailyMotion, CoC, or Clash Royale), and unlimited Allnet text and FREE Facebook app use.

If you want to have the additional unlimited Allnet texts, then go with the Globe's GoSurf50. But if you are more specific with the data provision, I suggest you register to Smart's GigaSurf50.

As corrected below in the comment form, both subscriptions are LTE signals if your device and SIM are LTE capable.

To register to Go Surf 50 or Giga Surf 50:
Globe
1. Text GOSURF50 to 8888 and wait for confirmation.
2. Enable your data settings and start browsing the web.

**You can make this promo last for 10 days by:
Option 1. Register to GOTSCOMBODD70 to 8888 (PhP70) an hour before the expiration of your GOSURF50. By adding DD70, your remaining data will carry-over with DD70 with additional 1GB data.
Option 2. If you are only interested to extend your GOSURF50 for another 7 days, register to GOTSCOMBOAHD10 to 8888 (PhP10) an hour before the expiration of your GOSURF50. Your remaining data will carry-over with AHD10 but only 100MB data will be added to your previous subscription. 

Smart (Jump-In, Nano, Buddy, etc)
1. Text GIGA50 to 9999 and wait for confirmation.
2. Enable your data settings and start browsing the web.

All promos are valid for 3 days. 

Smart's PASADATA 
Text PASADATA (11-digit number) (amount in MB) to 808 and follow the instructions in the notification message. Example, PASADATA 09091234567 80MB to 808. P1/transaction. 1 day expiration only.

Smart Communications, along with MyPhone, has offered its customer a very affordable phonekit at the start of year 2016. For the first 50 thousand customers, they were able to provide the MyPhone My28 for only PhP888 with free sports watch and a monthly 100MB data allocation for 12 months. But due to growing demand and with the phone running out of stock, the phone kit was downgraded to a lite version, the MyPhone My28S. The My28S with the "S" is a downgraded version because the used to be 8GB internal memory of My28 was turned to 4GB and its camera quality cannot compare to the previous version. But it is still a bang for your buck since the retail price of this phone is PhP1,999. Now, it's one of the only two Android phones in the price range of below PhP1,000 and running a quad core processor (the other one is Cherry Mobile Flare Lite 2, Globe's counterpart to this Smart's promo). I have ordered one online to grab this sale opportunity while I am still in NCR;  it's COD with no shipping fee so, the price is still PhP888 (yey! no sweat in waiting in cue). You will only be allowed to order a maximum of 3 phonekits online or even when you purchase from a Smart store due to the high demand.


The features of this Smart phone kit promo
1. Dual-SIM slots with both slots locked in Smart. You can use TNT, Smart and Sun SIM.
2. Free two SIMs: Smart and Talk 'N Text. You can use the Piso per Two Days Promo in TNT. 
3. You do not have to pay monthly charges or be in a locked-in with Smart. It is a one time payment for only PhP888.
4. You get PhP30 rebate every time you accumulated a minimum load of PhP100 per month.
5. You will receive 100MB data every month for one year in the Smart SIM card.

Phone Specifications
4-inch WVGA display
Runs in Android 5.1 Lollipop
1.2 Ghz Quad-Core processor
512MB RAM
4GB internal memory and Expandable up to 32GB via microSD card
Two-Point Multi-touch screen
5MP fixed-focus main camera with flash and 2MP front camera with flash
GPS capable
Network/Connectivity: 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Included earphone has a good bass
1,450mAh battery

Cons
The battery drains easily so, equip yourself with a powerbank.

I have decided to buy one because it is rare for Android phones to be selling below P1000. Also, this phonekit promo easily runs out of stock due to high demand so, find yourself lucky if you got one at Php888 price. Smart has restock their supply with the new My28S. The available colors of this phone online are white and black. The phone can also be brought at some Smart stores in red, yellow and blue colors.

You can order MyPhone My28S online via the Smart website and wait at least 7-10 days. They ship for FREE to anywhere in the Philippines. You can purchase online using DragonPay (BPI, UnionBank, etc), BancNet ATM Cards, or using credit cards. If you want your purchase to be instant, go to the nearest Smart store in your location.

This promo is until April 3, 2016.

The new year is about to start and I have been away for the holidays so many have been asking through private messages of any cheaper internet access for Smart users. As of today, Smart has already fixed the TNT Surfmax Glitch, there's really no forever. And also the Super10 and FB10 unli internet access already served their sole purpose.

Christmas is fast approaching and with this, let's take this opportunity to gift ourselves with freebies from Talk 'N Text. You can avail of the new SurfMax promo of TNT even without load and you can extended it until the years to come through the TNT web portal (but don't abuse or else, you will have a BLOCKED SIM in the end). Amazing! Many had already reported this glitch but it still working up to this writing. So, grab it now until it is still not patched. It's the season to be sharing, tra-la-la-la-la. Hurry now, it's about to end.  
NOT Working as of December 24, 2015.


How to Have an Immortal Subscription of TNT Surfmax?
Requirements:
Talk 'N Text SIM (even without load) inserted to a modem/broadband stick/pocketwifi/phone/tablet with enabled internet data access and ready to start browsing.
Laptop/desktop/tablet/mobile phone

Provided Service:
3G/WCDMA  Unlimited internet access with 800MB bandwidth limit (throttling to 2G speed after the limit). No solution yet for this throttling since there is no Big Bytes promo in TNT.

Dito may forever.

Procedure:
The procedure can be viewed and downloaded here.
Just click the SKIP AD button after clicking the download link.

How to Bypass Surfmax's 800MB Limit?
You can read the tutorial here.

How to Check the Expiration of Your Promo?
On the TNT dashboard (see pic above), click the REFRESH link (the one in the red box, besides the Latest Time info). Your expiration will be updated at the right side of the dashboard page (just along the Latest Time info). Just be patient, it's slow to update.

To those who are having difficulty accessing the dashboard page, register first to SAMPLE to 4545. It only costs PhP1.00. This will provide you a faster internet connection and it will ease up your dashboard access. If you don't have piso load, then try going to youtube.com first and let the dashboard load from there.

-This tutorial is good until it's working and the obtained subscription is good until Smart hasn't provided a fix for those who already subscribed to it.
-Don't abuse the expiration extension or else your SIM will be BLOCKED and you will NOT be able to enjoy this free internet. Use at moderation. Unblocking a TNT SIM is very difficult these days.
-Better do this during off-peak hours for less traffic in the network.

-Not working for Mindanao (and some Visayas) area.

If you are in a tight budget and you cannot make the Piso Unli Internet to work on your device, then try the tutorial below for Smart and TNT SIM for less than PhP10 a day spent on subscription. Let's hope that by these promos, there will be no more hassles and no-browsing problems anymore. Adding to the unli internet access, the promos below will let you have unli call and unli allnet texts. It will provide your Smart (Jump-IN, Buddy and Nano) and TNT SIM with internet access that will let you download, stream videos and access the social networks with no need for VPN to access the restricted sites like Youtube. Still, if you prefer a cheaper version for TNT, try the Internet Access for PhP5 but it needs to use VPN to access the restricted sites and no unli call/text were included. Just choose what's convenient with you. You have four available options for different budgets.

Note: This tutorial is not exempted from the 2.5GB bandwidth capping of Smart so use accordingly. Don't abuse or else you might need a new SIM card. If you are tagged as heavy user and your SIM got blocked, try this tutorial on How to Unblock Your Blocked SIM Card.

Smart Communications has stopped their LTE promos (i.e. LTE50 and Unlisurf) last October 31, 2015. These were replaced with the new SURFMAX and SURFMAXPLUS promos. Same speed, same denominations, BUT with limits. According to their Surfmax guidelines, the promo allows subscribers to enjoy all day surfing up to 800MB/day at optimal speeds and once this is consumed, all day surfing services will still be active but connection quality may vary until 12 midnight. There you go, sounds familiar with Globe's Fair Usage Policy (FUP), eh? So, nothing is unlimited now in the Philippines. We live more with limits? Internet should be a wide universe with no boundaries, we are paying for it so, we should get the best out of it!


Smart offers the following denominations for their new Surfmax promos:

SurfMax Promo denominations, keywords and validity. Click to enlarge.

The Surfmax promo is available for Smart Postpaid, Prepaid and Smart Bro users. Better use the SurfmaxPlus if you are in an LTE-covered area and your internet device is an LTE-capable one to ensure that you have the fastest internet speed.


How to Overcome the 800MB Limit of Smart's SurfMax and SurfMaxPlus?
We are all very disappointed with this new restriction in their internet promo, right? But Smart provided us a solution to get past their 800MB bandwidth limit usage. As stated in their guidelines:

Upon reaching their Smart SurfMax daily limit, subscribers may also switch to any Smart Big Bytes offering to continue enjoying optimal speeds. For a complete list of Smart Big Bytes packages, they may also visit www.smart.com.ph/pages/bigbytes.

So, the number 1 solution to prevent being throttled to slow network speed is to register to Big Bytes. Once you received a text from Smart notifying you that you have already consumed 800MB data, you only need to register to a Big Byte promo to revert your internet network speed to normal. It did not mention the denomination, so we prefer the cheapest one, the Big Byte for PhP5. To do this, send BIG5 to 9999 and wait for the confirmation then restart your modem and voila, your internet speed should be back to normal even if you have consumed the 5MB data from BigBytes and your Surfmax promo is not yet expired.

For Talk 'N Text users, you can send BIG5 to 4545. You can also register to SAMPLE to 4545.

Number 2 solution is to register to their SurfMaxPLUS promo using a Jump-In SIM card. Do not use SmartBro or KickStart Sim, these two are very strict when it comes to capping. They are so much updated with your internet data usage.

Number 3 solution is to register to their SurfMax promo using a KickStart Data SIM. If ever Smart notified you with the 800MB limit, turn off your modem for 30 mins and reconnect after that 30 mins. But most probably, Smart will not send notification using this SIM and this promo.

Number 4 solution is to restart your modem/broadband stick once you receive the 800MB usage notification. By turning your modem off, you allow it to change its IP connection and thus giving you a chance to get a nonthrottled IP. This works with KickStart Data SIMs.

Number 5 solution is to download more than 1GB files when you are enrolled in the promo and never mind the notification that you have used the 800MB data. If your download speed is maintained after you receive the notification, then say "My SIM is Great!" This works with some Jump-In SIMs but not all the time. So, try at your own risk.

Number 6 solution is to resend the promo code once your speed is throttled. Just resend the SURFMAX promo code to 9999 or 2200 even if you do not have enough load. Just ignore the insufficient load balance notification and restart your device. You can also use the SmartBro dashboard to register to SURFMAX. When you do this, make sure that you DO NOT have load greater than PhP49.

Update December 8, 2015: All SURFMAX users, expiration in this promo is until every 11:59PM. So I suggest you register after 11:59PM, i.e. 12:01AM, to have your subscription last for two days. Example, you register in Dec.8, 2015 12:01AM, your expiration will be on Dec 9, 2015, 11:59PM. That's two days for the price of PhP50.

Alternative for Unlimited Internet Without Limit
Instead of subscribing to SurfMax, subscribe to UnliSurf. Though Smart have announced that Unlisurf is no longer available, this promo is still available in your retailer store's SmartLoad Menu. You don't need to keywords to register, you only need to go to your suking tindahan and ask the SmartLoad retailer to load your Smart SIM with UnliSurf. They can also load your SIM by texting UNLI50 (your number) and send to 4122.

Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that all these tricks will work to prevent your SIM from being throttled once you have consumed the 800MB data. It's effectiveness is a case-to-case basis. Your location/area is a determinant of its success as well as the SIM you are using. Since Smart is still in the process of upgrading their system, once or twice you will encounter a glitch in their network. You might even use their one day promo for more than a week, or you might end up not being able to connect to the internet even if you have just registered to the promo.

Try at your own discretion.
