How to Overcome the 800MB Limit of Smart's Surfmax Promo?
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:

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.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 a complete list of Smart Big Bytes packages, they may also visit www.smart.com.ph/pages/bigbytes.
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.

thank you for the tut!
ReplyDeletety working po yung 30 mins sa kickstart sim
ReplyDeletewell im wondering, since a few days now surfmax50 seems to be unlimited for me cus i left my pc on trough the night to download DOTA 2 onto my new steam account it was 6.9GB download and when i woke up it fully downloaded plus im still getting 15Mbps to 25Mbps down and uplo speed. its ironic cus im waiting for globes Shitty
ReplyDelete(UP TO 5Mbps )line for 1599 pesos with a 50 Gb data cap per month... they have been letting me wait 2 weeks now... plus they had the audacity to let me come back to their outlet 3 times for stupid reasons like forgetting to let me sign somthing. so if im unli on 50Pesos a day with speeds up to 30Mbps why pay 99 pesos more a month for crapy 1 to 5 Mbps with a 50 Gb datacap? if this keeps on being unli for me I will tell Globe to go have a nice day....
we cannot tell how long this unli surf from smart will last, but I think Smart is better than Globe.
Delete@Paul
ReplyDeleteyour right, here in Davao City, SurfmaxPlus is not available, the registration code here was Surfmax 50 sent to 2200.. It was already for 3g, 4g and LTE base on your sim and modem. I'm using SmartBro LTE Pocket Wifi and My internet speed can reach at least 13Mbps, not bad for LTE, at first, the said 800mb limit was blocked my connection after I've reached it, I was so pissed off and planned to apply a landline internet. But suddenly since I haven't applied yet and days have been passed, I tried to register again using my pocket Wifi. I was amazed because I've reached 1gb but still my connection is good. I tried to download an ISO file about 1.5Gb and still it was completed using my IDM, I was thinking that it was a glitch or something like system error from smart, but I've experienced it every time I've registered so I think smart fixed it, In fact, right now my Download Capacity was already reached 3.8Gb and I am still downloading with a good connection :) well nice job for Smart I am relieved :)
AFAIK, unlimited po ngayon ang Surfmax, I just don't know kung how long it will be unlimited.
Deleteanong sim po gamit nyo?
DeleteWhen you're using SMART [BRO] LTE Sim ang pwede lang dito is yung "Surfmax", pag SMART Prepaid LTE Sim pwede dito both "Surfmax" and "SurfmaxPLUS". That's based on my experience, kasi dati naka Smart Bro Pocket wifi ako with SMART Bro LTE Sim (color pink/fuchsia pink) triny ko magregister ng "SurfmaxPLUS 299" kasi sabi ni Smart "All-day LTE" yung may PLUS, nagreply ang smart na "Promo is not available..." so triny ko yung "Surfmax 299" pumasok siya. After nun, bumili ako ng SMART Prepaid LTE Sim (color white as in plain white with Smart logo) kasi ginamit ko sa phone ko, ayun nakapagregister naman ako ng "SurfmaxPlus 299". :)
Delete^honest mistake, di nga pala color ang white :)) sry
Delete^BTW current connection ko pala can reach up to 7Mbps ;) pero minsan pag tinotopak si smart lalo na yung sakit niya sa gabi, nasa 3 to 5mbps siya
Deleteso wala kang mga disconnections? ano modem gamit mo sir?
DeleteSame thing here in the Visayas. I received the text the very first time I went over 800mb the first week of November, then was unable to connect to the internet the rest of the day. But the last two weeks, I haven't received any texts and I'm using between 1.5 to 3 gigs a day. Maybe they listened to their customer base after the first couple weeks of this thing?
ReplyDeletestill working pa din ba? naka globe kasi ko, balak ko sana mag transfer ng smart. Kahit anong device ba ng smart bro gagana yang Surfmax ? kumusta naman po pag torrent ang idodownload mabilis po ba? thank sa sasagot
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried torrent downloads, but the speed of usual downloading is great, can even reach 15mbps. mas maganda LTE-capable device with LTE sim.
DeletePersonally, I wouldn't torrent using the current surfmax promo, unless you're using a reliable VPN. Otherwise, that activity can be easily identified as torrenting and your sim could be banned and locked out.
ReplyDeletesir ask ko lang po... bakit yung skin ni reg ko sa surfmax 200.. sa umaga 25 mbps pagdating ng 6pm gang gabi n un 2 mbps lng at bumababa pa... ala ba caping yun..
ReplyDeleteganyan naman talaga ang smart noon pa man, depende kasi yan sa dami ng users, diba nga yun ang reason nila kung bakit nag lagay sila ng DATA CAP para ma limitahan yung mga tao na wagas kung mag download tulad ko. Pero at least kahit papano eh inalis nila,
Deletealam mo, mas mabuti na yung bumabagsak sa 2mbps kaysa naman maging 3G ang connection mo or ma block talaga, kasi experience ko dati nung ma reached ko ang DATA CAP eh sa speed test ng 3G eh 0.45mbps lang... TOINKS :)
update here in Davao City, Hey guys! listen up :) I tried to reach the current capacity data of Smart but I've reach 8gb already and still i am not blocked, then until my registration was expired. I was amazed because Surfmax is better than Unlisurf, because the Unlisurf promo have only at least 3gb and your connection will become 3g...
ReplyDeleteano pong gamit mo na simcard? jump-in ? kickstart? o smart lte?
DeleteI would to know this as well, please answer.
Deletesmart lte gamitin mo yong luma.. i guess marami pa yang stock sa mga tindahan.
DeleteBinan laguna location ko, I already have used 8.3GB and my connection still reaching 1.5MB/s
ReplyDeleteUpdate lang po here sa Davao, still working pa rin po ito, :)
ReplyDeleteYung sa aken hindi nag txt ang smart na na reach ko na yung 800mb limit kaso napapansin ko na bumababa na yung download speed ko.. hinintay ko na mag txt ang smart pero wala parin.. Ang ginawa ko nag load ako ng reg 5 tas nag register ako ng BIG5 to 9999 . at yon Wooossshhhh!! may magic !! hehe :) 3G lang gamit ko pero pumapalo ng 700kbs yung download speed ko. :) TRY NYO HABANG GUMAGANA PA :) sana magpatuloy pa eto :)).
davao here! i can still download but im constantly disconnecting. 20-60 minutes usage,, dc,, then i have to reconnect again. (Modem OD350)
DeleteSana meron din pong ganitong ways ma madali lang sa Globe. Please help me :(
ReplyDeleteThx Brod!! Good as ever..:D

Deleteyohohoho... big5 works on me
ReplyDeletei am registered in surfmax 999 since dec4. and was using the big5 twice since 3 or 4 days ago. and now i think my sim is locked out. wondering if this is just until midnight or for good.
ReplyDeleteMaybe smart is having maintenance in your area or you may contact the smart's CSR to report your blocked internet access.
Deletesim block !! fuck thissssss
ReplyDeleteGinamitan mo ng big5 tapos na block?
Deleteminsan naboblock rin yung INTERNET ko (hndi nmn cguro to sim block) after nito hndi na ako nakakaconnect for certain hours.. at kapag ini-on ko yung mobile data sa phone ko hndi nagpapakita yung internet na icon. yung may H+ ... nadedetect kc yan ng smart pre kung gaano ka kawagas mag download or mag net ... kaya ginagawa nila binablock nila yung internet mo tas narereset yan kapag midnight ... Yung sa aken nmn ngayon parang wala ng data cap .. every load ko ng surfmax msking hindi ako nag tetext sa BIGBYTES ng BIG5 .. nakakadownload parin ako ng mga atleast 2gb a day . pero minsan nandun parin yung sudden disconnection .. and i dont have any idea bkit nagkaganito saken. bug lng cguro (INTERNET BUG) xD .. hehe
Deletenormal po yan if you are in an area where auto CDC is in effect.
Deleteyung s22 ko may signal naman ng 4g at naka blue pero hindi makapag browse error 287 nakalagay.. any solution for this ? TIA!
ReplyDeleteI think error na po yan ng modem. please consult po dun sa mga marunong sa firmware nyan.
DeletePwede po ba ang Big5 sa Smart bro LTE sim?? Para makasigurado po ako...
ReplyDeleteNakakatakot naman to.. Hihihi XD Gumagana yung option 1 :D
ReplyDeleteThanks sa nagpost nitong post :D
Parang natatakot talaga ako.. :D
nakakatakot na ba ulit ang speed nyo?
DeleteSobra pong nakakatakot. HAHAHA XD
DeleteLalo na paghating gabi na... 9 MBPS... Lalo nat IP address ko pang Korea eh...
Sa Bohol po umaabot ng 21 mbps
DeletePAno po yung sa TNT ang reply po sa akin kapag tinext ko ang SAMPLE sorry your transaction is not allowed of this service etc.
ReplyDeleteyou can only register again to SAMPLE after 2 days.
Deletemay possibity ba ma block data sim mo pag ginawa mo isa dito tapos naging successful. ? and overdownload kana?.
ReplyDeletepag block kasi wala ka ng internet access so you cannot use the BIG5 promo anymore.
Deleteupdate ko lng po yung akin bago lng po ako nag avail ng surfmax nag try muna ako mag load ng 50tapos kinabukasan di pa tapos subcription ng 50 nag load ako ng 250 na register n a yung 250 di pa na expire yung 50 tapos dumating na ung oras ng expire nung 50 ayaw na magcontinue kahit na register na ko sa surfmax 250 isang araw ajong walang internet.
ReplyDeleteayaw gumana nung 30min na pahinga sa kickstart sim..registered ako sa surfmax 250...
ReplyDeleteSakin sir gmit ko kickstart sim sa globe lte 4g na modem b315 nung una ok lng namn sya wlang limit mga december or november ata ako ngstart tpos netong mga dec.19 humina napo signal ko nkkpg internet ako pero ang hina tpos sa isang araw mai mga 30 mins lumalakas ang net pero pgktpos nun humihina n anu probz neto sir?
ReplyDeleteSmart has undergone maintenance during the past week. one reason din yan.
DeleteHnd po kya magsisira na ang smart kasi parating nadaw ung fastest internet connection from abroad? O bka sinasadya lng nla
DeleteAng iniisip ko baka dahil sa pasko kaya mahina ang signal kasi yun nmn sakit ng mga network pg pasko so anu sa tingin nyu mga sir?
ReplyDeleteAsk ko lang po kung ung effectivity ng big5 is whole duration ng surfmax? Like nagregister ako ng surfmax 250. Minsan lang ba ako magregister sa big5 bypass na ung capping in 7 days?
ReplyDeletePwede ba mag register agad sa bigbytes kahit wla pa yung msg na na reach mo nanyung 800mb limit? Never kasi ako nakarcv ng ganon msg and napaka imposible lanv na dko nacoconsume yun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteyes. pero para tipid, if nathrottle lang kayo saka kayo magBIG bytes.
DeletePlease delete this thread... Spread it without knowing Smart Comm.
ReplyDeleteGMGANA PABA TOH SIR? ASK KO LNG NKAKICKSTART KASI AKO THEN REG ANG NG SURFMAX50 THEN NNGAYN CAPPING NAQ E... SO BALE REG AKO S BIG5 NOW THEN TRY KO... ISA PA SIR S JUMP IN N SIM WLA BANG CAPPING S SURFMAXPLUS?
Deletequestion if i am on a 995 monthly surfmax, then i reached the cap, if i load bigbyte5, will i be able to have unli cap for the day or for the entire month?
ReplyDeleteyou have to register to BIG5 everytime mathrottle kayo.
DeleteAng nangyari sakin, gumagamit ako ng smart bro pocket wifi yung zte... Pag magdadownload ako, minsan sa gabi biglang magpapakita sa laptop ko na "no internet access". Pero wala akong message na sinasabing "your limit has been reached..." bla bla bla... So paano to?
ReplyDelete7 days yung promo.. bumabalik din yung internet pero natatakot akong bakamablock ako or something so..
that's network instability lang po.
Deletehappy new mga sir tanong q lng po f gumagana pba ang unlisurf?? f mgpapalod po aq sa tindahan ung dretso registered na sa pocket wifi q po...smart 4g lte po ang gmit q po
ReplyDeleteyes, meron pa sila nyan sa mga retailer. pero direct SMS registration ay wala na.
DeleteWorking pa ba un surfmaxplus?
ReplyDeleteWorking pa ba un surfmaxplus?
ReplyDeleteSmart and Globe are trying to set the pricing on US and European levels, the problem with that is this, The Philippines cable infrastructure is 20 years behind the said continents. I think the 800mb cap is totally based on their crap infrastructure or lack of it. Until the philippines builds its own backbone interconnecting the main islands, it wont get any better. The economy is dependent on the cable getting better. The question is who is going to invest $50bn plus to create the modern infrastructure that is badly needed?????? On the basis of the current laws around foreign investment, NONE.... Investment laws need to change rapidly, retaining intellectual property is more valuable than ownership of companies willing to improve the country.....
ReplyDeleteEffective yung Big5 after magcap! :) Thanks! nakasubscribe ako sa surfmax995 then everyday na lang ako nagbi-Big5 kaya sulit yung download ko... :)
ReplyDeleteNot in my case. Nag-SURFMAX995 din ako, thinking minsan ko lang need mag-BIG5 dahil indi naman ako nagto-torrent or video streaming. Puro browsing and YouTube lang, eh since madami akong ipon na BigBytes from previous loading, indi apektado dapat. Pero wala, lumalagpas pa rin ng 800mb dahil tatlo or apat kami gumagamit minsan. Smart is a really f*ked up telco. So umaabot ng P80/day sa BigBytes pa lang. Mas mahal pa kung tutuusin kesa sa postpaid. Wala pa kasi nung Globe Platinum dito sa area namin, otherwise sulit yung P2,500/mo plan nila na 50mbps, no data cap
DeleteMay nakaranas na ba dito na sa sobrang pagdodownload na terminate ung sim(di na makaconnect sa internet---as in di na talaga. di na nagpapakita ung 3G/4G indicator)?
ReplyDeleteIf regster surfmax995 kailangan ba evrday mag Big5?? continues ba ung iba aftr 1mnth regstration..di nbblock? sa akn.kc jump.in sim 3g nlng ang signal..thanks
ReplyDeleteyou only need to register to BIG5 every time na bumabagal na ang speed nyo dahil throttled na kayo.
Deleteso kapag throttled na ung current subscription, kailangan lang mag text ng big5 send to 9999 pra balik ulit ung speed. so ung tanong ko, may time limit or data limit po ba ung pagsend ng big5? baka kc ilang big5 ang magagastos mo sa isang araw..
DeleteDisconnected nako at 8gb. Can't connect anymore. Any idea how i can connect again? Subscribed to surfmax996
ReplyDeletePero nakakatext pa kayo, natry nyo na bang pasahan ng PhP100, then follow the ROAM OFF procedure here:
Deletehttp://coolchura.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-to-unblock-your-blocked-internet.html
Thankyou so much for the comments here i am from australia in cebu and have been using smart surf max 299 etc and am worried about getting my speed shaped after the 800 mb limit. So basically if the speed drops after 800mb i can subscribe to a 5php BIG5 plan? I am using a Huawei Open line 4g/Lte Pocket wifi - What number do i text to and how do i subscribe to BIG5? Thankyou
ReplyDeleteYes, you can subscribe to BIG5. Send BIG5 to 9999
DeleteHi what sim po gamit niyo sa Huawei niyo? Naka smart prepaid po ako but wala padin akong internet after ko mag register sa surfmaxplus.
DeleteNagregister ako sa surfmax 995 tapos nung na cap na xa nag BIG5 ako pero 0.01mbps parin ung speed nya. My prang "special" process ba pra mareset ung cap?
ReplyDeletehindi naman, you can just restrt your modem.
DeleteTwice ko na pong nirestart ung modem, tapos twice na rin akong nag reg ng big e T_T
DeleteAh.. If nacheck nyo na LTE pa rin ang signal tas ganyan pa rin ang speed kahit off-peak hours na, ang SIM nyo na po ang may prob. Pwede naman kayo tumawag sa CSR ng Smart e.
Deleteahhh sim ba ung my problema pag hindi mo ma "bug" ung cap? kasi ung sa pinsan ko todo download xa using surfmax990 tapos pag na cap xa (after 7-10 days) nag rereg lng xa ng big5 pra mareset ung cap e.
DeleteSIM nyo na lang po talaga, iba-iba rin kasi ang SIM, may maswerte at malas na SIM e.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteIt isn't working for me anymore, i changed sim did the unli but when i do the BIG5 it still gets capped. I think smart fixed this.
ReplyDeletenot working anymore, i bought a sim and try to register to BIG5, it doesn't work anymore,any more solution?
ReplyDeletewala pong alternative solution e. I think na fix na sa lugar nyo. Dito sa amin hataw pa e, kahit after ko mareceive ang notification, patungan lang ng BIG5, go ulit.
DeleteNot working today in Makati/Mandaluyong FYI.
DeleteIsang way din para ma bypass ang capping is mag register kayo ng SURFMAX50 or any denomination ng dalawang beses hanggang lumabas yung "insufficient balance to register" ganun lang ginagawa ko. Kickstart gamit ko di ko lang alam kung gagana sa ibang sim variant
ReplyDeleteSalamat sa tip Sir, update ko po ang post.
DeleteThank you very much! it worked!
DeleteDo I have to do this everytime na mag-eexpired na ang surfmax ko, or one time ko lng siya kailangang gawin para ma bypass ang data cap.
Deleteeverytime
Deleteany update about this?
ReplyDeleteHindi na siya working as of yesterday :( Sa inyo ba? :(
ReplyDeleteHindi na gumagana ung solution 1 :(
DeleteNot working since yesterday, any new ideas to bypass the daily Capping of Smart Bro Prepaid Lte Sim?
ReplyDeletechange apn lang katapat nyan. internet, smart1, LTEsmartinet
DeleteUpdate nman jan mga kabro wla na kcng bug ehhh
ReplyDeleteAny update?? the BIG5 is not working since yesterday!?
ReplyDeleteYes... since yesterday. Big5 bypass no longer working on my Kick start DATA sim. :(
ReplyDeletesayang tangina dina gumagana yung big5
ReplyDeletedavao area here, di na gumagana big5
ReplyDeleteUpdate Davao .. wala na talaga ... tskk.x . atleast naka avail ako for a month . xD
ReplyDeletewala na ang big5 ..monitor na ng smart at na fix na din nila.
ReplyDeletePaano hindi masasara yang butas, eh coolchura.blogspot is one of the top Google search results when you search for "bypass Smart data cap" or other similar queries. Kung kaya natin basahin ang tips, kaya rin ng Smart. That's why I keep saying blogs like this should be for limited reading only. Or gawa na lang ng email newsletter to selected people, by-invitation only. Para siguradong kilala ng kakilala mo yung maiimbitahan. If Smart/Globe both feel that open info like this will cause them to lose revenue, the loopholes will be plugged. Ganun ka-asshole ang Philippine telcos.
ReplyDeleteHindi na gumagana big5. Naglalaro ako ng dota 2. Bigla nag throttle. Putang ina packet loss ko 72%? Nakakabad trip naman tong smart na to. 800 MB lang sa LTE na pinagmamayabang nila.
ReplyDeletei feel you bro, try mong register ulit para lumabas yung insufficient balance thingy. di ko lang alam if gagana sayo :)
Deletewag ka, 1GB nakasulat na limit sa site nila haha putangina nakakita ng pagkakakitaan mga putanginang to, nung mabagal pa net walang limit tangina
Deletekapag naconsume mo na ang 800MB at nagtxt na si smart, palitan mo lang apn mo, babalik ang speed nya. try these-------> internet, smart1, LTEsmartinet
DeletePaano palitan ang apn?
Deletesa settings po ng wifi/modem nyo, o celphone nyo.
DeleteDi na gumagana BIG5 dito sa cebu..
ReplyDeleteAny new tricks for this? dati kasi once lang ako nag big5 tapos ok na di na nagappear ulit except nung one time ang kaso lang nag big15 ako kasi emergency tapos nawala na ung bug ko hahaha
ReplyDeleteHindi ako talaga makapag online gaming. Putang inang smart to. Hindi naman makain sa bandwidth pag lalaro ng LOL at Dota 2 eh. Kailangan lang naman na stable internet. Kaso kapag thnrottle nila, 100% lag na.
ReplyDeletesakin ngayon lang din, nag text na si smart ng consume limit, tapos pag nag reg ng BIG5 babalik lang saglit tapos ma coconsume na ulet. Hindi na ata gumagana walang limit sa smart arggg. Ngayon lang ayaw sakin Feb.4, kahapon naman ok na ok pa. Manila area po
ReplyDeletesakin ganyan din.. pano ba gagawin.. laguna ako
Deleteayaw narin sakin in pampanga. Dati gumana at di nag nonotiff na ubos ang bigbytes. Nayon parating may notiff. Noticed that it auto offs the load guard sa dashboard thing pag nag register nang big 5. Dati Hindi naman
DeleteBig bytes 5 work around does not work for me anymore too...once I consumed the 5MB of Big Bytes 5 I will already get the message that I consumed the 800MB allocation
ReplyDeleteMe too.. I hope someone could crack the enigma code.
ReplyDeleteupdate plss
ReplyDeletedont know if this works for other areas but when smart throttled my internet i tried to register ulit and gave me the insufficient balance message and then boom the internet is back.. and oh yeah f*ck you smart..
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read that it worked that way also. Thanks for the tip. :)
Deletethis one works, sampaloc manila area.
DeleteIt works for now (Cebu)
Deleteit works, but the speed depends on the leased ip (cebu)
Deleteworks in Tacloban
Deletedavao area here..
ReplyDeleteIts working here in bulacan area.
DeleteThe insufficient balance message glitch works! and also smart stop being corrupt on your own country.you guys should be helping us have better situations! :/ such dissapointed
ReplyDeleteyou mean mag reregister ka po ulet ng walang load, para bumalik ulet?
DeleteOo, magregister ka kahit walang load. Then babalik ang internet connection speed mo. :)
DeleteNormal po ba na paputol-putol yung connection pag ginamit yung "insufficient balance" glitch? Di na siya bumabagal kaso every 10-15 minutes nagdidisconnect yung internet (WIFI).
ReplyDeleteprepaid sim or bro sim? and modem?
DeleteFuchsia pink na smartbro na binili ko na kasama nung Smart pocket wifi
Deletepag nagpuputol putol po ang connection nyo, I think nasa area kayo ng nagpapalit palit lagi ng IP. naexperience ko na yan dati, yung tipong every 10 mins e mamumula ang wifi at magrereconnect ulit. That's normal. Monitor nyo po if laging nagpapalit ang IP, that may be the cause.
DeleteGanyan din po na experience namin. lalo na pag nag lalaro kami ng dota 2. i guess every 5 mins, nag Di- "DC". May alternate solution po ba kayo kung anong gagawin dito? mabagal kasi ang globe samin dito. di pwede pang Dota2. pls help :(
Deleteworking saken nung una ung register sa bigbytes 5 tapos parang na detect na mga ilang weeks na nakaka raan tapos hopeless nako buti nlng na try ko yung solution 6 ung mag register ka ulit kahit insuffiece balance na ayun boom pag speedtest ko balik 21mpbs tnx autor
ReplyDeletewhat' the best sim for this? thanks
ReplyDeletedi gumagana ang big5
ReplyDeletepati insufficient balance glitch ayaw na gumana
ibalik ang unlisurf
wala na nawawala wala na din yung insufficient glitch grrr kakabadtrip talaga Smart and Globe wala ng ibang alternatives, sa madaling araw lang naman ako nagdodownload so hindi naman masyadong hassle yun sa ibang subscriber na gumagamit sa umaga lol. dapat kahit 12 to 6am lang no capped limit ok na sakin yun. badtrip talaga
ReplyDeletepa update naman kung anu pa ibang alternate solution. Ayaw nadin gumana nung insufficient load glitch. Back to data cap nanaman :(
ReplyDeleteworking pa sa Cebu area ang glitch na to.
ReplyDeleteanong solution po yung nag wowork pa? cebu din ako
Deletesa dashboard ng smart ka mag register pre.. dapat 12:00am-12:20am ka magregister para 2days unli LTE, di na kailangan pang mag register ng big5..kapag humina na connection mo register ka agad sa surfmax kahit insufficient balance.. working dito sa Naga,Cebu
DeleteUpdate naman guys
ReplyDeleteano na lang gumagana dito? May update po kayo??
ReplyDeleteany updates sa tricks na working pa?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletegumagana pa rin to
ReplyDelete1:kapag hindi gumana palitan nyo lng APN ung APN ng Globe gumana sakin o try nyo ibang APN wag lng APN ng SMART
2:kapag hindi pa rin gumana(for 4G/Lte connection)try nyo i down sa 3G at gawin ung no.1
cguraduhin lng na ginawa ang mga procedure sa taas ung pag register sa BIG5 (note:im using s-22 openline modem with smart prepaid,this is advice so i cannot guarantee if its working but mine is working)

ReplyDeleteSurfmax50 for 2 days already ended. I registered today and it supposed to expire the next day by 11:59 pm, showed on balance inquiry to expiration 24hrs at the same time i registered it at 12:01 am. Sayang i've been doing this since december and makakatipid ka talaga. Sir Eun can u verify this is the surfmax50 promo already ended?
ReplyDeleteFrom yesterday the 2 days of Surfmax for 1 payment is already no longer working.
DeleteI just registered and 11:59Pm expiration no longer works. It's a fixed 24hrs only.
DeleteSo i've confirmed it, last with my smart bro sim and now with my jump sim. All surfmax 50 now expires 24 hrs from the time u registerered. All he tricks had been prevented because smart's been monitoring this website so thats why i never leave a comment for hacks and tricks to overcome the 800mb limit,this is my second comment since last night, i was so disappointed with smart for discontinuing the surfmax 50 promo for 2 days, and come to think of it 50 pesos for 24 hrs only is a bit overpriced.smart should revise it. Smart is getting greedy. Its also our fault beause we live it out in the open those tricks and tips for all we know smarts been reading it too... So for now theres nothig we can do, just lessen the use of internet i guess...
DeleteSame here ... 2 days for 1 surfmax50 registration not working anymore.. :) walang 4ever talaga.. Hehehehe.. sana me bago ulit kahit hindi 4ever 😄😄😘

ReplyDelete(Iligan city, Mindanao) I think hindi na nagwo-work ung mag resend ng surfmax50 without balance.... i'm doing this for the past 2weeks and it is working, pero kaninang madaling araw (March 9) naglimit ako then nag send surfmax50 to 2200 ako tapos walang nagbago sa speed ng internet ko... GUMAGANA PA BA SAINYO? IS THIS THE END? UPDATE PLEASE....

ReplyDeleteMay LTE connection ba yung UnliSurf?
ReplyDeletePag lte sim mo carry na saka lte capable ang area
DeleteWala na nga talaga yung re-register na surfmax50. Ayaw na sa akin kahapon pa (March 9). Pati po yung 12mn magreregister para two days wala na din. ��
ReplyDeleteNakahanap ako ng store na may unlisurf tapos nagload ako ng unlisurf 200 pero di pa expired ung surfmax ko. Mag ooverwrite ba or mababalewala ung 200 na unlisurf ko? Pag nabalewala. RIP 200 pesos XD
ReplyDeleteDavao update here the insufficient balance trick and 2 days for 50 aint working anymore.. waiting for someone who has an idea of a glitch/bug to bypass this..
ReplyDeletesame here gensan area
ReplyDeleteI have a friend working on Smart. Yup, they're watching for bugs to bypass the FUP/limits on their promos and personally they don't like to plug the gaps kasi sila din affected (surprised nga ako nung kwinento niya dati na may mga taga-Smart na heavy users na naiinis minsan sa 800 mb limit ng Surfmax, iba nga nagpakabit na lang ng broadband eh, kasi ito lang source of Internet nila sa bahay) pero no choice kailangan sundin yung management: baka raw mabawasan ng revenue si Smart eh. I have to remain anonymous kasi plano kasi ako ipasok ng friend ko dun.
ReplyDeleteso, kaya pala nadiscover ng friend mo tong website dahil sayo... ikaw pala dapat sisihin kaya nila naayos ung bug...
Deletesiguro siya nagsabi dun sa friend niya...
Deleteplease naman... iilan lang naman kami may alam nitong mga bugs/glitch/hack pinagkakait pa nila...
kung may mga taga smart/globe na nagbabasa dito.... just always remember maraming nagsara/binenta ang companya dahil mahina ang kita sa sobrang mahal ng products and services nila, just like nokia and youtube, even apple suffered this kind of problem before. kaya kayo mga telcos kayo, ibahin niyo na marketing strategy niyo parating na si TELSTRA... IBALIK ANG UNLI... baka soon mapilitan din kayo ibenta o isara globe/smart dahil wala nang subscribers. Lipat to telstra na... JustSaying
Deleteanyone experiencing this?
ReplyDeletehttps://deuts.net/2015/09/28/the-smart-bro-flexitime-data-minutes-that-deplete-faster-than-real-use/
TLDR version:
Smartbro Flexitime minutes depletes faster than the real minutes you are using. I've been having this problem since last year but I ignored it because I seldom register to Flexitime. But since the BUG of bypassing 800mb limit is no longer working, I tried using the flexitime today since it did not mention about any limit/cap. The only reason I registered is because I needed to download a 1.6GB file and I have the file now so I can verify that they did not put a cap on this promo. I registered to 15hrs(900mins) of data for 7 days of internet for P100 and I only used around 103 minutes of the service and now I am only left with only 688minues! WHAT THE HELL SMART?
To Smart: bakit niyo inalis ang kaisa-isang bagay na nagbigay sa inyo ng lamang kay Globe, ang pagkakaroon ng unlimited Internet promos. Hindi ko gets bakit pareho kayo ni Globe nangungurakot sa inyong mga consumers kung kailan may paparating na pangatlong competitor, si Telstra. Since first time kaming nagkaInternet noong 2007, Smartbro ang family namin, mga panahong di pa uso ang Wifi, dalawang Internet stick sa bahay salit-salitan kami, yung bagal tiniis namin kasi unlimited naman pero sobra naman na ata kung may capping or throttling na di naman ganun kagenerous (800 MB, seryoso? Kung gusto niyo maglagay ng ganyan, pde na siguro mga 2.5 or 3 GB per day, tutal original daily policy niyo naman yan eh). Alisin niyo na lang yung free FB, Spotify, Youtube and other churva, baka yan yung kumakain ng bandwidth niyo eh kaya di kinakaya ang unlimited for customers who paid for it! Isang buwan na lang si Surfmax, tapusin niyo na, we want Unlisurf back! Pag nangyari yan, willing ako magpaload ng 1000 for 30 days Internet or 50/100 araw-araw, basta unlimited ang service, walang capping or throttling.
ReplyDeleteSir pls update mo kmi kng anu bago... Mga tga SMART alis nga kau dito KJ nyu nkkbwiset n kyu sumusubra na kayu!!!!
ReplyDeletedi na po gumagana.. resend trick. bicol area here . sa sobrang inis ko nagtawag ako sa smartbro dept. pinagmumura ko talaga sila ..LTE pa naman connection ko. hayys pero okay lang dito saamin may tinatayo ng transmitter or cellsite ang laki ..telstra daw sabi ng mga tao dito
ReplyDeleteunfair talaga masyado ba,nung una,yung BIG BYTES promo na sa Surfmax tinanggal,then sa site na nila galing yung instruction,then ngayon na sa Smartbro sim,na halos di na makaabot ng 30 kb/s yung pag download ko ng torrent,tinanggal pa talaga yung bug,WHAT THE F*CK!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my 3rd conment. SMART ang BOBO nyo! Di ba kayo nag iisip? The BigBytes bug was extra income for u, just imagine all subscribers adding bigbytes to their existing surfmax subscription, thats big income. You stopped the bigbytes bug so wla kayong extra income. Ngayon bababa ang sales nyo cause you took the surfmax50 2 day expiration. You want to earn more income ibalik nyo ang bigbytes bug. Kayo na ang nag calculate sa system nyo kung ilang subscribers ang mag add ng bigbytes sa existing surfmax subscription.
ReplyDeletetama po 😃 sana maibalik na .. tulad nung december sobrang lakas ng torrent ko umaabot sa 2mbps download speed. haist 😫
ReplyDeletePa-update nalang po kung may bug or program na makakaincrease ng data cap. At least nagrereset paring yung data cap sa midnight :/
