You want to download games or movies, or you need to update your Windows and your Android/Apple phone, yet your unlimited internet in Globe has this Fair Usage Policy? Well, you can download big files now without getting throttled to 2G speed! I have been a Globe user for years and their FUP has been an obstacle for my download days ever since. If you are being like me, here's how you can download big files.



How to Download Big Files Without Being Blocked by Globe/TM?

A. Use Regular Load (no promo)
1. You only need to load around 30php-50php. Make sure you do not have existing registration to promos. If you have, buy an extra Globe/TM SIM for your download activities only.
2. Text SURFALERT OFF to 8080.
3. Start your download. It is advisable to download during off-peak hours (11PM-6AM). You can just start the download before you sleep and let it finish. Just make sure that your regular load is only the amount you want to spend for the download. The download speed during off-peak hours is faster and Globe/TM only charge Php5/15mins. It downloads at 4mbps.
4. Once you are done, send SURFALERT ON to 8080 to make sure that your internet won't consume regular load next time you reload.

B. Use Consumable Internet Promos (Not Unlimited)
1. If you can afford to download using data promos, just send GOTSCOMBOKEA37 to 8080 and you will have 1GB of consumable data for your 1GB download. If you want more data allocation, register again using that promo to have 2GB and so on. It costs PhP37 for every successful registration.

These tips will ensure that your download speed won't throttle to 2G.

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.

Finally, Smart Communications has upgraded their consumable internet promos. They are now offering consumable internet for 7 days with FREE Facebook and unlimited all network texts. Choose your promo below and enjoy a week-long internet access and other benefits. These promos are better availed if you want to access the internet using your mobile phones. This is NOT recommended to be used in laptop or desktop internet usage.


Smart's GIGA70/BIG70

The GIGA70 is a better version of Globe's GOTSCOMBODD70. Recently, Globe had stopped providing FREE Facebook to all their promos. So, make the switch or have a dual network.

The consumable internet provision can view all websites and can access all internet games, you only need to monitor your usage so as to budget your internet consumption.  

To check your remaining consumable balance, do a balance inquiry via your Smart Menu.

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.

Online shopping became a hit in 2016. In this fast-paced lifestyle, online payment becomes more convenient for the millennials. If shopping will be made online, where you do not have to go around to look for the best and the "sulit," by just typing the keyword you'd like with available sorter from lowest price to highest and vice versa, and what's hot and relevant, undeniably, your budget might get out of hand.

Good thing we have a new local option --- Shopee! When Lazada entered the market, we thought that we already found a cheaper version of items with their big discounts. Hope not! Although Shopee is not as famous as Lazada, their service is almost as good. Although I cannot guarantee the quality of both online shops absolutely, let me share my experience with them and allow you to judge and share yours on the comments section below. But before that, let me give you some of my thoughts.
Benefits of Shopee
Shopee lets their user purchase items with at least PhP5 price tag. It's like an online Divisoria but less the crowded place and traffic. The sellers have their individual virtual stores where you can browse their products. You can also view the store's ratings and feedbacks for a particular item. Shopee guarantees that you will have your money back if you did not receive your order. Just make sure that you make all your payment transactions in Shopee. It offers a chat service where you can inquire directly from the seller and even make a bargain for your purchase.

The products in Shopee ranges from homewares, electronics, health and beauty, clothing, shoes, and bag, you name it.

I am also a subscriber of AliExpress and I can say that Shopee offers products which can be found in AliExpress. So, instead of purchasing in AliExpress and waiting for at least 3 weeks of shipping time, have the Shopee experience for a shorter waiting time and free of custom handling fee.  

Rebates
Shopee coins are earned once a successful purchase and delivery has been confirmed. For every 1000 coins earned, you will get PhP10 off from the Shopee preferred items.

Payment Methods
You can pay your orders in Shopee through:

It will be easier to pay if you have bank accounts with enrolled DragonPay billing. Unlike Lazada, Shopee does not accept debit or credit card payments yet.

Shipping
Shopee offers FREE shipping nationwide with at least PhP250 purchase from a store. Once your order is confirmed, you have to wait for at most 3 days before your order is shipped. So, the shipping time ranges from 3-7 days or more, depending on their market traffic. But if you are not in a hurry to get hold of your product, this will not have a bearing on your part. I still suggest that you go for the cheap yet slow than the fast yet costly, in the end you will have the same item. Why bother to spend more of your pesos if you can wait for a few more days.

Shopee vs. Lazada Experience
My first Shopee experience is during the holiday season. I bought gifts for my friends in bulk. Although it took a longer time to arrive, around twelve days, still I was able to give it to them during our Christmas party. I ordered fifteen (15) travel pouches from Shopee which I purchased for about P135.00 less than the price of Lazada. Can you imagine I saved about P2025.00 for my gifts? The only problem is that five out of the fifteen pouches had a different brand, but they are in new and good condition. Should I complain? I guess not. With the savings, I could care less.

I was a bit hesitant to order in Shopee again but another opportunity came, so I dared to try again. I am organizing an event and I wanted to save up our budget as much as I can without compromising the quality of our souvenirs. I ordered thirty (30) pieces of pencil bags in Shopee which costs around P350 less than Lazada's tag (savings of P10,500.00). This time, all of the items are as I have imagined it to be, with a bonus of free two (2) mini calendars. Also, unlike before, it arrived in four (4) days. Perhaps the delayed delivery last time is just brought about the season. Even Lazada had a delay during that time since I ordered from them as well. I also ordered six (6) foldable bags from Shopee, priced at P120 less than Lazada's. They, too, are in good condition.

My experiences with Shopee may not have been enough but in my perspective, Shopee can be considered in the same platform of Lazada. I did have a few not so good experiences with Lazada, like a defective shoe organizer and frail luggage bags. So if you are saving up, try Shopee!

How to have the Shopee App in your device?
You can also browse Shopee Philippines using your mobile and tablet devices. Simply go to your Google Playstore or App Store and search the Shopee PH app.

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.
