GoSURF50 Freebies: Codes, Redemption Process, and Eligibility for Globe Telecom Users

GoSURF50 is a prepaid mobile data promo offered by Globe Telecom in the Philippines, designed to provide users with mobile data and free access to specific digital content. The promo requires a prepaid load balance of at least ₱50 to register. Subscribers can register by texting GOSURF50 to 8080 or by dialing *143# and selecting the GoSURF50 option. Upon successful registration, users receive a confirmation text message. A key feature of the GoSURF50 promo is the inclusion of 1GB of mobile data intended for specific apps or "freebies," which must be redeemed separately by the user.

How to Redeem GoSURF50 Freebies

After registering for the GoSURF50 promo, subscribers must redeem their chosen app bundle or freebie to utilize the associated 1GB of data. The redemption process involves sending a specific keyword via text message to 8080. Users can redeem only one freebie per registered promo at a time. If a user wishes to switch to a different freebie, they must wait for the current freebie to expire, stop the current promo, or register for a new GoSURF promo variant.

The available freebies and their corresponding redemption codes are:

Video Streaming (YouTube and Dailymotion): Text GS50 VIDEO to 8080.

To obtain the most current list of available freebies, subscribers can text GS FREEBIE to 8080.

Managing Freebie Status and Expiration

The validity of a redeemed freebie is tied to the time it was claimed. If a freebie is claimed a day after the main promo registration, the freebie will expire a day after the promo's expiration date. Even if a user re-registers for the GoSURF50 promo, they cannot claim a new freebie until the previously claimed freebie has expired.

To check the status of a specific freebie, users can text GS50 <CODE> STATUS to 8080. For example, to check the status of the Facebook freebie, one would text GS50 FB STATUS.

Managing the GoSURF50 Subscription

Subscribers have several options for managing their GoSURF50 subscription, including checking status, stopping the service, extending validity, and purchasing add-ons.

Stopping the Subscription: To stop or turn off the GoSURF subscription, text GOSURF STOP or GS STOP to 8080. A confirmation text message will be received. It is important to note that stopping the promo results in the loss of all unused mobile data and freebies.

Checking Status and Data Balance: To check the status of the GoSURF subscription and see the remaining MB of data, text GOSURF STATUS to 8080. This method also provides the expiration date for the promo and data inclusions. Alternatively, users can check their data balance by dialing *143# and navigating to GoSURF50 > Status, or by logging into their GlobeOne account.

Extending GoSURF50: If a user has remaining data and wishes to avoid losing it upon expiration, they can extend the promo for an additional 24 hours. To extend, text GS EXTEND to 8080. The extension costs ₱5. Users can also extend by dialing *143# and selecting GoSURF50 > Get Add-ons > Add Validity/Extend > Subscribe to GS Extend.

Promo Add-ons: Users running low on data can purchase add-ons to increase their data allowance. Texting GS ADDSURF 15 to 8080 adds 100MB of data for 1 day at a cost of ₱15. Registering for an add-on also extends the validity of the existing GoSURF subscription. For example, if a user has 150MB remaining and buys the add-on one day before the promo expires, they will have a total of 250MB of data with a validity of 2 days.

A video streaming add-on is also available. Texting GOWATCH29 to 8080 provides 2GB of data for YouTube, Netflix, HOOQ, and Tribe for 1 day at a cost of ₱29.

Stacking and Sharing: GoSURF50 is stackable. When a user registers for a new promo, any unused data from the previous subscription is carried over and added to the new promo’s inclusions. However, this carry-over does not apply to specific app data (freebies).

Subscribers can also share their extra GoSURF data with others. To share the promo, text the promo keyword (e.g., GOSURF50) to the recipient's 10-digit number prefixed by 2 (e.g., 29123456789).

Other GoSURF Promos and Freebies

Globe Telecom offers other GoSURF promo variants with different data allocations, validity periods, and freebie options. The redemption process for these promos follows a similar structure, using denomination-specific keywords.

GoSURF299: This promo costs ₱299 and provides 1.5GB of mobile data with a validity of 30 days. It includes a freebie of 1GB mobile data for an app of choice from a list including musical.ly, Spotify Basic, Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans + Clash Royale, YouTube, Daily Motion, Facebook, Snapchat, and Viber. To register, text GOSURF299 or GS299 to 8080. To redeem the GoLEARN&WORK bundle (YouTube Learning, Wikipedia, Zoom, Viber), text GS299 LNW to 8080.

GoSURF599: This promo costs ₱599 and provides 4GB of mobile data with a validity of 30 days. The freebie includes 1GB mobile data for an app of choice from a list that includes musical.ly, Spotify Premium, Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans + Clash Royale, YouTube, Daily Motion, Facebook, Snapchat, Viber, and Disney. To register, text GOSURF599 or GS599 to 8080. To redeem the GoLISTEN&TRAVEL bundle (YouTube Music, Spotify, WeSing, Grab, Google Maps, Waze), text GS599 LNT to 8080.

GoSURF999: This promo costs ₱999 and provides 8GB of mobile data with a validity of 30 days. The freebie includes 1GB mobile data for an app of choice from the same list as GoSURF599. To register, text GOSURF999 or GS999 to 8080. To redeem the GoWATCH&PLAY bundle (YouTube, Netflix, iflix, HBO GO, NBA, Viu, V Live, ONE, Mobile Legends, Marvel Super War, Arena of Valor, Clash of Clans, Rules of Survival, Free Fire, PUBG, Call of Duty Mobile), text GS999 WNP to 8080.

For all GoSURF promos, the validity of the redeemed freebie matches the validity of the main promo. If a user registers for a 3-day promo on March 15 but redeems the freebie on March 16, the promo expires on March 18, and the freebie expires on March 19. Only one freebie can be registered per promo at a time.

Registering for GoSURF via USSD Code

Subscribers can register for GoSURF15, GoSURF50, GoSURF299, GoSURF599, and GoSURF999 using the Globe/TM USSD code by dialing *143#.

GoSURF50 for Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi

The GoSURF50 promo can also be used with Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi devices. However, there are specific considerations for this method. Users do not need a smartphone to register. A noted disadvantage of registering through the modem's interface is the inability to inquire about the remaining data balance directly; the Globe at Home app is required for this. Additionally, redeeming the freebie for GOSURF50 (which historically included 300MB for apps like YouTube, Facebook, and Viber) cannot be done via text message. Instead, the user must access the modem's dashboard to view SMS messages and complete the redemption process.

Using Reward Points for GoSURF50

Subscribers can use reward points from their personal number (prepaid or postpaid) to gift GoSURF50 to their Home Prepaid WiFi. This method is reported to be cost-effective, with a cost of approximately 10 points. To use this method, the user must first register a PIN for the rewards program. To activate a PIN, text PIN ON to 4438 (a minimum balance of ₱1 is required to send this message). The user will then be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN. To complete the PIN setup, text PIN <space> 4-digit PIN <space> MIDDLE NAME to 4438.

Conclusion

GoSURF50 is a prepaid mobile data promo from Globe Telecom that offers 1GB of mobile data and a 1GB freebie for specific apps or app bundles. Registration is done via text or USSD code, requiring a ₱50 prepaid load balance. The freebie must be redeemed separately using specific codes sent to 8080. The validity of the freebie is dependent on the time of redemption relative to the promo's expiration. Users can manage their subscription by checking status, stopping the service, extending validity, or purchasing add-ons. Similar freebie structures and redemption processes apply to other GoSURF promo variants like GoSURF299, GoSURF599, and GoSURF999. The promo is also compatible with Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi, though with some limitations on freebie redemption and balance checking. Reward points can be utilized to acquire the promo for use on Home Prepaid WiFi devices.
