Claiming Freebies in GoSURF50: A Guide to Redeeming Data and App Bundles

GoSURF50 is a promotional offer from Globe and TM designed for budget-conscious mobile users seeking short-term data access. The promo provides subscribers with 6GB of mobile data valid for three days at a cost of ₱50. In addition to the base data allocation, GoSURF50 includes a freebie component that allows users to redeem access to specific app bundles or content. The redemption process is managed via SMS commands sent to 8080.

Understanding the GoSURF50 Offer

The GoSURF50 promo is structured to provide value through a combination of general mobile data and specialized app bundles. According to the source material, the total inclusion is 6GB of mobile data. This data is split between general usage and specific app categories. One portion of the data is allocated for Facebook and Instagram, described as an additional 3GB (1GB per day). The remaining portion, often referred to as the "freebie," is 1GB of data designated for either mobile games or video streaming, depending on the user's selection.

The validity of the freebie is tied to the time it is claimed. If a user registers for the promo and waits a day before claiming the freebie, the freebie will expire one day after the promo registration. Users can redeem only one freebie per registered promo at a time. To redeem a different freebie, the user must wait for the current freebie to expire or register for a new GoSURF promo variant.

Eligibility and Registration

To register for GoSURF50, subscribers must have a Globe or TM mobile number and at least ₱50 in prepaid load balance. Registration can be completed through three primary methods:

SMS Registration: Text GOSURF50 to 8080.
USSD Menu: Dial *143#, navigate to the GoSURF50 menu, and select the subscribe option.
GlobeOne App: Download the app, link the Globe number, and register through the interface.

Once the registration is confirmed via text message, the user is eligible to redeem the associated freebie.

How to Redeem GoSURF50 Freebies

Shortly after successfully registering for the promo, subscribers receive a text message prompting them to choose their free content. The freebie must be redeemed by replying to the message or sending a specific keyword to 8080.

Available Freebie Options

The available freebie keywords provided in the source material include:

Video Streaming: For access to YouTube and Dailymotion, text GS50 VIDEO to 8080.
Mobile Games: For games such as Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, Arena of Valor, Clash Royale, and Pokemon Go, text GS50 GAMES to 8080.
Social Media:
- Facebook: GS50 FB
- Instagram: GS50 IG
- Twitter: GS50 TWITTER
- TikTok: GS50 TIKTOK
Music: For Spotify, text GS50 SPOTIFY to 8080.
Communication Apps:
- Viber: GS50 VIBER
- Snapchat: GS50 SNAPCHAT

An alternative categorization of bundles mentioned in the source material includes the "GoSHARE&SHOP" bundle, which covers social media and online shopping platforms like Twitter/X, TikTok, Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora. To redeem this specific bundle, the syntax requires texting GS<denomination> SNS to 8080. However, for the specific GoSURF50 promo, the primary keywords listed above are the standard method.

Managing the Subscription

Users have several options for managing their GoSURF50 subscription and verifying their status.

Checking Status To verify the status of the main promo subscription and view remaining mobile data, text GOSURF STATUS to 8080. Alternatively, users can dial *143# and select the "Status" option under GoSURF50.

To check the status of a specific redeemed freebie, the syntax is GS50 <CODE> STATUS. For example, to check the status of a Facebook freebie, the user would text GS50 FB STATUS to 8080.

Stopping the Promo If a subscriber wishes to terminate the promo early, they can text GOSURF STOP or GS STOP to 8080. A confirmation text will be sent. It is important to note that stopping the promo results in the immediate loss of all unused mobile data and freebies.

Extending the Promo GoSURF50 offers an extension feature. If a user has remaining data as the expiration approaches, they can extend the promo for an additional 24 hours by texting GS EXTEND to 8080. This allows the user to utilize remaining data without losing it upon the standard expiration.

Technical Notes and Limitations

The source material highlights specific limitations regarding the redemption of freebies. When using certain methods to access the service, such as via a Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi device without a linked smartphone interface, users may be unable to redeem freebies directly. In such cases, the dashboard must be accessed to view SMS messages to complete the redemption process. Additionally, the status of remaining data cannot be inquired via SMS in that specific setup; the Globe at Home app is required for data usage monitoring.

The freebie availability is subject to change, and the source material notes that freebies may not be available in the future.

Conclusion

GoSURF50 is a short-term data promo that requires active redemption of its app bundles via SMS keywords. The process involves registering for the promo, waiting for a confirmation message, and then selecting a specific freebie category (such as video, games, or specific social media apps). Users are limited to one active freebie at a time and must manage their subscription status via SMS commands to avoid data loss or to utilize the extension feature.
