Piso Unli Internet Access for TNT and Smart

Let's call this trick the PisoNet since this provides Talk 'N Text and Smart users with unlimited internet access for at least one peso per day. This is way cheaper than the Smart's new Unlimited Internet for PhP20/Day.  This also beats the TNT's PhP5/Day Internet Access for Clash of Clans Users. Better, right? As for Smart users, it's actually PhP2/day while for TNT users it's PhP1 per 2 days. You can browse, e-mail, chat in social media, download files, stream videos and play online games. The internet speed after availing this promo will depend on your location as the strength of TNT and Smart signal vary. The signal is an H+/HSPA+, not LTE. It can be used on phone/tablet and modems as long as there is a SIM slot. This doesn't work for SmartBro SIM. Pisonet is also working for Mindanao area users (thanks to Jan Do You's feedback).

NOT Working as of February 22, 2015
1. Send PROTECT ON to 9999 and wait for confirmation.
2. Subscribe to Youtube promo by texting YOUTUBE5 to 9999.
3. Send FB2 to 9999 and wait for confirmation.
4. Send POWERAPP OFF and wait for confirmation.
5. Send MMS ON to 333 and wait for confirmation.
6. Enable data connection and start surfing Youtube using your device's built-in browser. If you can access the site, then congrats your SIM is already bugged! If you are redirected to the Smart's PowerApp page, text POWERAPP OFF to 5555. If you are having trouble sending POWERAPP OFF to 5555, try sending it to 7577 (Thanks to Sir Janver for the comment below).
*If you cannot register to FB2, register first to FREE WIKI to 5555 (or to 7577). You need to redo steps 2-5 everyday. If you used FREE WIKI instead of Youtube, use the FREE WIKI again in your next registration. This is cheaper than PhP5.

Known Issues (Jump-In/Buddy Users):
No browse even if you followed the steps properly. Just check your current IP and make sure it is not 10.156.xxx.There are Android apps that will help you identify your IP and as for PC/laptop users, just go to your modem/broadband stick dashboard. If it is not displayed in your dashboard, go to Command Prompt and type cmd /k ipconfig /all then hit enter. If you are in the 10.156.xxx IP, just send
POWERAPP OFF to 5555 (or to 7577) twice (2x) and turn off your modem or phone (airplane mode) for 10-15 minutes. Then open again your device, connect again your modem or Android device to the internet, your problem is solved. If it still did not work, try sending PROTECT OFF to 9999 then PROTECT ON to 9999 and restart your device. 
Still no browse even if you sent the POWERAPP OFF thrice already. If the above no browse solution will still not let you access the internet, try the following solution:
1. Send PROTECT ON to 9999 and wait for confirmation. 
2. Send FREE WIKI to 5555 and wait for the notice that you are still subscribed to the FREE Wikipedia. 
3. Send POWERAPP OFF to 5555 and wait for the two confirmation texts. 
4. Turn off your device for one minute and open again to connect to the internet.
Slow Facebook loading. Use VPNs such as HSS or Psiphon for Android users. For laptop/desktop users, change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. I cannot provide the use of changing the DNS but Google is your friend or you might try using this DNS Xchanger. You can also use browser extensions such as Zenmate or Hola.

Note: This tutorial is not exempted from the Smart/TNT 2.5GB capping each day. If you want to prevent your SIM from being blocked due to bandwidth overuse, check the tutorial on How to Prevent Your SIM from Being Blocked, it may work with your SIM. But for the better, I suggest that you do not abuse your internet usage as this is already cheap and it will keep you away from being tagged as heavy user in their system. You can also VPNs such as Psiphon3 or Ultrasurf to prevent your SIM from being blocked.
If your SIM was blocked due to heavy usage, follow this tutorial on How to Unblock Internet Access in Smart.
If you're using an Android device, you can use this Speed Up Your Internet Using 3G/4G signal.

Credits to all the discoverer of these tricks and developers of apps. If not for them, we will not be enjoying this cheap internet.  

Again, not working with KickStart or Smartbro SIM.

No More Prefixes in Smart/Talk 'N Text Calls

Finally, Smart Communications had updated their system when using their call promos. Life is more easier without the fuss of keying the different prefixes when calling while enrolled to a certain call promo. No need to get complicated and confused, simply hit the call button when calling the Smart/TNT/Sun number of your friend or family.


To use:
When a user is subscribed to a certain Smart/TNT call promo, he can directly dial the 11-digit Smart/TNT/Sun number (without the +63) of the person he wants to call and hit the call button.

Example: 
I am enrolled to the new Smart UCT50 (3 days unlimited call to TNT/Smart/Sun). I will just browse my phone book to look for my friend's number and press the call button (i.e. 0918-3214567 then press call button).

That's it.

Internet Access for PhP5/Day and Play CoC (TNT)

Since many had been asking for cheap internet access to play the ever-popular Clash of Clans (CoC), Coolchura will now serve this request. If you are one of the many who prefer to access the internet just to play CoC instead of the having the combo subscriptions stated in this post of Cheap Gosakto promos or maybe you are one of the few who are not willing to use Globe network, then maybe you can try this Back-to-School Bundle for PhP5.00 per day using a Talk n Text SIM. This bundle is the cheapest you can get besides the GOCOMBODD70 which is PhP10 per day. There is a glitch in this promo that allows TNT users to ALSO access Clash of Clans along with other social media and email service. Read the whole post first before asking questions if this is working or not as I always update the activity of this promo using the highlighted words below.

New! Piso per Day Unlimited Internet Access for TNT and Smart Users 
Unlimited Internet with Unli Call and Unli AllNet Texts for Less Than PhP10/Day (Smart/TNT)
CoC, Talk n Text, internet, cheap, Access, school
PhP5/Day Back-to-School Bundle

New method is at the bottom of post. 

Service Provided:
Main internet access to Social Pages, Emails, Wikipedia, Google Search, and other sites
Additional unlimited access to Clash of Clans and other online games
Valid for one day

You will need:
TNT Sim card with at least PhP7.00 load

To register:
1. Send SCHOOL to 5555 and wait for the confirmation message that your registration is successful. This promo is worth P5.00. You can register many times within the day for longer validity. So, if you have PhP60 load, you can register 12 times within a day and the validity will be good for 12 DAYS already.
2. Start surfing the net using your phone/desktop internet browser or start attacking in Clash of Clans.
3. Update: If you want to stream Youtube videos and access other restricted sites, you can download Zenmate (for Chrome add-on) or Psiphon for FREE. If you don't want to use these VPNs, you can register to SAMPLE to 4545 for PhP1 per 2 days.

This promo is quite ironic as its main purpose is for students to access the net for their homework using Wikipedia and Google Search but instead it also allows them to FB and play CoC.

Note:
You CANNOT download torrents.
Facebook access has enabled pictures/images. 
You can use the registered SIM in pocket wifi, broadband, modem or your phone/tablet.
I haven't tried registering using a Smart SIM (Jump-IN, Kickstart, etc) but you are FREE to try and update us with the notification message through the comment form below.

Procedure:
1. Send PROTECT ON to 4545 and wait for confirmation.
2. Register to COC 10 to 4545 and wait for confirmation.
3. Enable you internet data access and start playing CoC.4. Done. You now have 3 days unlimited access to CoC.

How to Turn ON Suncellular Load Protect (Surf Protect)?


My SunCellular Load Protect Issues
I was using Suncellular Lite PhP25 for three days unlimited internet as I mentioned in this SunCellular's 3Days Unlimited Internet for PhP25 post. The subscription is cheaper, right? But I cannot load more than PhP25 every registration because I cannot turn ON the Load Protect in my SunBroadband SIM. 

What happens when I load more than PhP25? My Sun SIM consumes the remaining load even if the mentioned subscription is unlimited. Weird, right? This is because the Auto Connect Even When Roaming is enabled in my device. This setting lets me use the SMART signal (Sun's sister company) thus, the "roaming" to network and NOT the roaming we know about when we are abroad. And when it uses the SMART network, it charges my account for the "roaming" fee at the default rate of PhP5/15minutes. This is not quite fair. But still I prefer to surf while roaming with the SMART signal because the internet is way faster than the SUN signal. You can notice this once you started using SunBroadband SIM. The equation is like this: when the SUN signal is shown on your device, slow internet; when the SMART signal is in use, better internet speed.

Thus, the problem occurs when I am loading more than the amount I need to register. Sun sent me notifications that I have been charged PhP5/15minutes for accessing sites without data even if I am in unli subscription. My remaining load will be consumed and the notifications will only stop once my balance reaches zero. The pain of loading the exact amount on my part is that I have to go to the store every time I need to reload. This going to a retail store is strenuous unlike when I am just buying SunCellular prepaid load cards one time to load my account in the future. Another thing, the retail store charges me another Php2 for every load!
SunCellular, Load Protect, Surf Protect

How to Activate the Sun Load Protect?
SunCellular's notification includes an info that I can turn the Load Protect in my SunCellular SIM by sending LOAD PROTECT to 2300. Yey but not yet! So, the trick to activate the Load Protect in your device is NOT sending LOAD PROTECT to 2300 because no matter how much load you have and how many times you'll try, it won't send (just failure). Maybe the keyword is intended only for Suncellular Prepaid users and not for SunBro users. You can try the keyword using a regular Suncellular prepaid SIM; if it did not work, try the guide below. Update: Send DATA OFF to 9999 instead. That will prevent internet charges to your SIM when you are accessing websites without an active data package. Thanks to an anonymous user below who provided us this keyword!
Activating, Surf protect, Load Protect, enabled, active, tutorial, how to, guide, SunBroadband, SunBro
My Sun Load Protect Activation Guide
The workaround for activating the Surf/Load Protect feature in SunCellular/SunBroadband SIM card is to register and create an account in the SunCellular webpage for the SIM number. To do this:
1. Go to My Sun website (click) and enter your Sun SIM number in the box to continue. See pic above for reference.
2. It will detect that you still don't have a My Sun account and the page will prompt you to register.
3. Input your name and surname. Create a password, retype it at the last box and hit REGISTER.
4. A verification code will be sent to your number and you have to check your broadband device for the message.
5. Input the verification code in the box at the My Sun page and click OK. Now, your Sun SIM has a valid My Sun account!
6. Click the My Account at the upper right portion of the page. You will see the Surf Protect logo and the indicator that it is turned OFF. Click the indicator to turn it ON and a new window will pop-out.
7. Wait for the new window to fully load and enter your My Sun account password. Then, the pop-up window will disappear and your Surf/Load Protect is now enabled.
SunBroadband, Sun Broadband, Load Protect, Turn ON
SunCellular SIM Load Protect is ON
No more annoying data charges even if your account has extra load after registering to a Sun's promo! The feels of freedom!
