No More Internet Settings Needed to Surf in Globe

Globe Telecommunications has announced yesterday that starting May 8, 2015, all prepaid users will be able to use mobile internet without manually configuring their phone's internet settings. Users can automatically go online; no more hassle of setting up their internet configuration. Just register to an internet promo, open your browser and enable data connection in your phone and whala, internet on the go!

They also let their subscribers to manage this automatic internet connection by turning on their FREE SurfAlert. It will put the user's browsing on hold when their device attempts to connect online and they are not registered to a certain surfing promo. This is similar to Smart and Sun's Load Protect which protect the load balance of users from accidental consumption because of sudden enabling of data connection. They will be redirected to a FREE site that informs them that they are not being charge for the internet access and they will be prompted to register to a promo first before connecting to the internet.


I presume this is another precautionary measure of Globe from unwanted internet access of users using apps or programs that bypass their system gain FREE access. This is like a checkpoint to those who are requesting access in their network but are not subscribed to a valid internet promo. This can save Globe's bandwidth demand but I doubt this attempt that it will totally eliminate ALL the "internet squatters". Ika nga nila, laging may butas jan, hanap-hanap lang! Globe can put barriers and set up walls but not a bugproof network.
