These promotions are designed to provide flexible internet access without long-term contracts, appealing to users seeking budget-friendly connectivity options. The available data promos vary in allocation, validity, and cost, with some tiers including additional benefits such as free access to specific apps or third-party vouchers. Management of these services is primarily conducted through the Globe At Home app, which serves as the central platform for activation, monitoring, and accessing exclusive deals.

HomeSurf Promo Data Allocations and Pricing

The core internet data packages for Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi are branded as HomeSurf promos. These vary significantly in both data volume and duration, catering to different usage patterns and budgets. According to the documentation, the promos range from minimal data for short periods to substantial allocations for extended use.

HomeSurf 15: Provides 1GB of data for a validity of 1 day at a cost of PHP 15.
HomeSurf 199: Offers 30GB of data valid for 15 days at PHP 199.
HomeSurf 349: Provides 50GB of data valid for 15 days at PHP 349.

In addition to these standard offerings, an enhanced version of the higher-tier promos was introduced, featuring larger data allocations and extended validity periods. These specific promos are available exclusively through the GCash app.

HomeSURF599+: Provides 30GB of open data allocation valid for 30 days, priced at PHP 599. This represents a doubling of the standard validity period for this price point.
HomeSURF1499+: Provides 120GB of open data allocation valid for 30 days, priced at PHP 1499.

It is noted in one source that promo offerings are subject to change without prior notice and may be discontinued, similar to previous product lines like GOSURF99.

Free Data Add-Ons and App Access

Certain HomeSurf promo tiers include complimentary data specifically for accessing popular applications. These freebies are generally available to subscribers of HomeSurF199 and higher plans.

Social Media and Video Freebies: Subscribers to HomeSurf199 and above may receive free access to specific platforms. One source indicates that customers can get free online courses, Shopee discounts, and Grab Express vouchers. Another source specifies that HomeSurf199 and up subscribers can enjoy free 1GB of YouTube access daily for the duration of the promo. A separate promotion offers Globe Prepaid customers (including HomeSurf subscribers) an additional 1GB daily for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, though this requires registration to any Prepaid promo priced at PHP 20 and up. This specific social media freebie expires daily at 12 AM and refreshes the next day, provided the underlying promo is still active.
Watch, Learn, Chat, and Earn Apps: The HomeSURF599+ and HomeSURF1499+ promos include free daily access to a curated list of apps.
- Watch & Learn: YouTube, Google’s G Suite, DepEd Commons, TESDA.
- Chat: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber.
- Earn: Lazada, Shopee, GCash, Grab. The documentation states that the total data allocated for HomeSURF 599+ subscribers is 60GB (30GB open + 30GB for apps), which is 5GB more than the standard HomeSURF599. Similarly, HomeSURF1499+ subscribers receive a total of 140GB (120GB open + 20GB for apps), 10GB more than the standard HomeSURF1499.

HomeWATCH Promos for Streaming

For users focused on video streaming, Globe offers the HomeWATCH promo series. These packages provide data specifically allocated for streaming services.

HomeWATCH199: Provides 34GB of data valid for 15 days. It includes a free 4GB daily allocation for streaming via YouTube, iWant, Netflix, iFlix, HOOQ, TikTok, and NBA.

Enrollment and Redemption Methods

Accessing HomeSurf promos and freebies requires specific enrollment steps, primarily managed through mobile applications.

Globe At Home App: This is the primary tool for managing HomeSurf promos. Customers are encouraged to download the app (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store) to avail of exclusive deals. Through the app, users can set up their profile, activate freebies, and load data. The app is also the channel for accessing the exclusive freebies mentioned in Source 1, such as the Shaw Academy course, Shopee discount, and Grab Express vouchers.
GlobeONE App: Globe Prepaid customers (excluding HomeSurf subscribers) use the GlobeONE app to subscribe to Prepaid promos and register for the daily free 1GB for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
GCash App: The enhanced promos (HomeSURF599+ and HomeSURF1499+) are available exclusively via the GCash app.
Share-a-Load: Subscribers can also register for HomeSurf promos via Share-a-Load. However, this method has limitations; prepaid numbers can only perform Share-a-Load transactions 5 times per day. This restriction can make it difficult to top up multiple times in a single day to achieve a desired data volume (e.g., repeatedly sharing HomeSurf 15 to accumulate 10GB).

Device and Service Characteristics

The Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi device is a modem that provides internet connectivity via prepaid load. It is positioned as a flexible alternative to postpaid broadband plans, requiring no installation fees, lock-in periods, or monthly fees.

Setup: The device is described as compact, easy to set up, and requires no technical installation—users simply plug in the device and load it.
Performance: Advertised speeds are up to 50 Mbps. However, user reviews suggest that actual speeds can vary significantly, averaging around 15 Mbps, and ranging from 0 to 49 Mbps depending on location and network congestion.
Costs: The modem hardware costs PHP 1,999 (one-time payment, non-refundable). There are no recurring monthly fees; users only pay for the data promos they choose to load.
Support and Limitations: As a prepaid service, support is not available 24/7. The device does not include a landline, which means users cannot take advantage of free calls or texts that may be bundled with other Globe mobile plans. Reloading the device can be described as difficult by some users.

Conclusion

Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi provides a variety of data-centric promotions through the HomeSurf and HomeWATCH lines, ranging from short-term, low-volume data to substantial monthly allocations. The service relies heavily on digital platforms—specifically the Globe At Home app, GlobeONE app, and GCash app—for promo registration, management, and the redemption of exclusive freebies such as daily app data, educational course vouchers, and e-commerce discounts. While the service offers flexibility and no lock-in periods, users should be aware of potential speed variations, hardware costs, and transaction limits associated with loading data via Share-a-Load.
