The GoSURF50 promo from Globe and TM is a mobile data offer that includes a selection of free content bundles. According to promotional materials, the offer provides 6GB of mobile data for 3 days at a cost of ₱50. A portion of this data—specifically 1GB—is designated for a "freebie" or app bundle that users must manually redeem from a list of available options. The process for claiming these freebies involves specific text commands sent to the number 8080.
Registration and Initial Setup
To access the freebies, a user must first register for the GoSURF50 promo. Registration requires a prepaid balance of at least ₱50. There are two primary methods to subscribe:
- Text Registration: Send the message
GOSURF50to8080. - USSD Registration: Dial
*143#, navigate the menu to the GoSURF50 option, and follow the on-screen prompts.
Upon successful registration, the user receives a confirmation text message. This message typically includes details about the validity of the main data allocation and instructions on how to claim the specific free content included in the offer.
How to Redeem Free Content
Once registered, the user must redeem the freebie to access the dedicated 1GB of data for specific apps. The redemption process requires sending a specific keyword to 8080.

It is noted that users can redeem only one freebie per registered promo at a time. To redeem a different freebie, the user must wait for the current promo to expire or register for a new GoSURF promo variant.
Managing the Subscription
Users have several options for managing their GoSURF50 subscription and checking their status.
Checking Status
To check the status of the main GoSURF subscription and view remaining 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, text GS50 <CODE> STATUS to 8080. For example, to check the status of a Facebook freebie, the user would text GS50 FB STATUS.
Stopping the Promo
To stop the GoSURF50 subscription entirely, text GOSURF STOP or GS STOP to 8080. The user will receive a confirmation message. Note that stopping the promo results in the loss of all unused mobile data and freebies.
Extending the Promo
If the user has remaining data as the 3-day validity period ends, they can extend the promo for an additional 24 hours. To do this, text GS EXTEND to 8080.
Validity and Limitations
The validity of the freebie depends on when it is claimed. If a user registers for the promo and claims the freebie a day later, the freebie will expire one day after the promo's original expiration date. The freebie cannot be claimed if the previous freebie is still active. The freebie is valid until the same date and time as the "FREE unli texts to all networks" mentioned in the registration confirmation, which in the provided example is valid until 2017-12-31.
