GoSURF50 is a prepaid mobile data promo offered by Globe in the Philippines. It provides subscribers with a specific allocation of mobile data, validity periods, and the ability to redeem additional data "freebies" for selected apps and services. Understanding how to access and redeem these freebies is essential for users looking to maximize the value of their prepaid load. This article details the registration process, redemption steps, and eligibility rules based on available documentation.
GoSURF50 is designed for users who need short-term data access with added perks. According to the documentation, the promo typically includes 1GB of open-access mobile data for general surfing, valid for a limited period. However, details regarding the exact validity period vary across the provided sources. One source indicates a validity of 3 days, while another suggests a validity of 1 day. Users should verify the current terms upon registration. In addition to the base data, GoSURF50 includes a "freebie" component. This allows subscribers to redeem a specific amount of data for use on selected apps or categories, such as social media, video streaming, gaming, or productivity tools.
To subscribe to GoSURF50, users must have at least ₱50 in prepaid load balance. Registration can be completed through several methods: text registration by sending the keyword GOSURF50 to 8080; USSD menu by dialing *143# and navigating through the menu to select GoSURF50; or through the GlobeOne App by downloading the app, linking the Globe number, and registering through the interface. After successful registration, the user will receive a confirmation text message. It is essential to wait for this confirmation before using data to avoid unintended charges.
The core feature of GoSURF50 is the ability to redeem free data for specific apps. Shortly after registration, users receive a text message prompting them to choose a freebie. The redemption process involves replying to this message with a specific keyword corresponding to the desired app bundle or category. The documentation outlines several categories for freebies. It is important to note that users can generally redeem only one freebie per promo registration at a time.
According to the provided sources, GoSURF50 offers a total of 6GB of mobile data for all Internet needs. The promo costs ₱50 and lasts for 3 days.
