Based on the first set of data: * GoSURF 15: Priced at 15 PHP, this offers 40 MB of data valid for 2 days.

The source also mentions other promos like GS505D (50 PHP for 300 MB valid for 5 days), GOSURF3D (99 PHP for 500 MB valid for 3 days), GOSURF7D (199 PHP for 1 GB valid for 7 days), and GOSURF499 (499 PHP for 3 GB valid for 30 days), which include freebies of data for an "App of Choice."

Freebies and App Bundles

A key feature of many GoSURF promos is the inclusion of "freebies," which are typically additional data allocations for specific applications or app bundles. The process for selecting these freebies varies.

For promos like GoSURF 50, GoSURF 299, GoSURF 599, and GoSURF 999 (from the first data set), after successful registration, the customer receives a text message asking them to select a free content option (e.g., musical.ly, Spotify, Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans + Clash Royale, YouTube, Daily Motion, Facebook, Snapchat, Viber).

For the promos listed in the second data set (GoSURF299, GoSURF599, etc.), the freebie is structured as a choice of one of four app bundles, each providing access to a specific set of websites and applications:

GoSHARE&SHOP: Provides access to social media and online shopping platforms including Twitter/X, TikTok, Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora.
GoWATCH&PLAY: Allows for video streaming and online gaming, covering apps like 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, and Call of Duty Mobile.
GoLISTEN&TRAVEL: Geared towards music and navigation, this bundle includes YouTube Music, Spotify, WeSing, Grab, Google Maps, and Waze.
GoLEARN&WORK: Designed for educational and professional use, offering access to YouTube Learning, Wikipedia, Zoom, and Viber.

The redemption process for these bundles involves sending a specific text command to 8080. For example, to redeem the GoSHARE&SHOP bundle for a GoSURF50 promo, a customer would text GS50 SNS to 8080. The validity of the app bundle data is the same as the validity of the main promo.

GoWiFi Access

Select GoSURF packages, specifically those from GoSURF299 and above in the second data set, include 1 GB of GoWiFi access. GoWiFi is a service that provides internet access at over 2,000 hotspots nationwide, including locations such as malls, supermarkets, schools, airports, hospitals, bus terminals, and MRT/LRT stations.

To connect to GoWiFi, users must select the network “@GoSurf_FreeWifi” and enter their mobile number along with a PIN that is sent via text message.

Add-ons for Additional Data

Customers can purchase add-ons to supplement their existing GoSURF promo data or to extend certain features. The source material lists several add-on options:

GS ADDSURF 15: Provides an additional 100 MB of data for 1 day. It requires a GoSURF 15, 50, 299, 599, or 999 promo and costs 15 PHP.
GS ADDSURF 99: Provides an additional 1 GB of data for 30 days. It requires a GoSURF 299, 599, or 999 promo and costs 99 PHP.

GoWATCH29: Provides 2GB of data for video streaming (for apps like YouTube, Netflix, iflix, iWant, Viu, V Live, NBA, and ONE) for 1 day. It requires a GoSURF 50, 299, 599, 999, 1299, 1999, or 2499 promo and costs 29 PHP.
GoWATCH99: Provides 2.5GB of data for video streaming for 3 days. It requires the same GoSURF promos as GoWATCH29 and costs 99 PHP.

It is noted that the GoWATCH add-ons provide bulk consumable data specifically for video streaming apps.

Registration and Redemption Methods

Customers can register for GoSURF promos and redeem freebies through multiple channels:

Text Registration: The primary method is to text the corresponding keyword to 8080. For example, to register for GoSURF50, one would text GOSURF50 to 8080. Customers must have sufficient prepaid load. A confirmation text should be received before data is turned on.
USSD Code: Registration can also be done by dialing *143#. From the USSD menu, navigate to All-Time Favorites > Surfing > GoSURF, select the desired promo, and choose Subscribe.
GlobeOne App: The GlobeOne app, available on Google Play and the App Store, allows for registration. Users must link their Globe number to their account.

The process for redeeming app bundle freebies is similar. After registering for a GoSURF promo, a text message will be sent with instructions on how to redeem the freebies. The specific text command (e.g., GS299 WNP for GoWATCH&PLAY on GoSURF299) must be sent to 8080.
