How To Redeem Gosurf50 Freebies Complete Guide To App Bundle Codes

The GoSURF50 promotional offer from Globe Telecom provides mobile data users with 1GB of data specifically designated for their choice of applications. This comprehensive guide explains the process of registering for GoSURF50 and redeeming its various freebies, including the specific codes required to access different app bundles and services. The information presented here is based on official Globe Telecom documentation and verified sources.

Understanding GoSURF50 and Its Freebies

GoSURF50 is a mobile data promotion available to Globe and TM prepaid subscribers in the Philippines. For ₱50, users receive 1GB of mobile data specifically allocated for their choice of applications or services. Unlike standard mobile data that can be used across any platform, the GoSURF50 freebies are designed for specific applications, allowing users to maximize their data usage on their preferred platforms.

The freebies associated with GoSURF50 are not automatically activated upon subscription. Users must actively redeem them by sending specific codes to 8080 after registering for the main promo. This two-step process—first registering for GoSURF50, then redeeming the specific app bundle—ensures users only pay for the services they actually intend to use.

Each GoSURF50 subscription allows for only one freebie redemption at a time. If users wish to switch between different app bundles, they must wait for their current freebie to expire or register for another GoSURF promo variant. The validity period of the freebie matches the length of the promo subscription, with the expiration date calculated from when the freebie was redeemed rather than when the promo was registered.

How to Register for GoSURF50

Before redeeming any freebies, users must first register for the GoSURF50 promo. Globe offers two primary methods for registration:

1. Text Message Registration:

   • Ensure the account has at least ₱50 in prepaid load balance
   • Text GOSURF50 to 8080
   • Wait for the confirmation text message

2. USSD Code Registration:

   • Dial *143# from a Globe or TM mobile number
   • Navigate to the GoSURF50 option in the menu
   • Follow the prompts to complete registration

After successful registration, users will receive a text message prompting them to choose their free content or app bundle. This message contains instructions for redeeming the specific freebie options available with GoSURF50.

Available GoSURF50 Freebies and Their Redemption Codes

GoSURF50 offers multiple freebie options across different categories of applications. Each freebie must be redeemed by sending a specific code to 8080. The following are the confirmed freebie options available with GoSURF50:

Checking Freebie Status and Data Balance

Once a freebie has been redeemed, users may want to monitor their usage and check remaining data. Globe provides several methods to check freebie status and data balance:

1. Text Message Inquiry:

   • Text GS50 STATUS to 8080 to check the status of a specific freebie
   • For example: GS50 FB STATUS for Facebook freebie status

2. USSD Code Inquiry:

   • Navigate to GoSURF50 > Status
   • View remaining data and expiration information

3. GlobeOne Account:

   • Log in to the GlobeOne account
   • Check data balance through the online portal

These methods provide information about how much data remains for the specific app bundle and when the freebie will expire. This information helps users manage their data usage and plan when to redeem additional freebies or register for a new promo.

Managing Your GoSURF50 Subscription

Globe offers several options for managing GoSURF50 subscriptions, including extending validity, adding more data, and sharing data with others.

Extending GoSURF50 Validity

If users have remaining data when their GoSURF50 promo is about to expire, they can extend the validity for an additional 24 hours:

• Text GS EXTEND to 8080
• The extension costs ₱5
• Unused data will be preserved for the additional 24-hour period

Users can also extend via USSD by dialing *143# and navigating to GoSURF50 > Get Add-ons > Add Validity/Extend > Subscribe to GS Extend.

Adding More Data

When additional data is needed, users can purchase add-ons:

1. Standard Data Add-on:

   • Text GS ADDSURF 15 to 8080
   • Cost: ₱15
   • Adds 100MB valid for 1 day
   • Extends the existing GoSURF subscription

2. Video Streaming Add-on:

   • Text GOWATCH29 to 8080
   • Cost: ₱29
   • Adds 2GB data for YouTube, Netflix, HOOQ, and Tribe
   • Valid for 1 day

These add-ons provide additional data when users exceed their initial allocation, ensuring continued access to their preferred applications.

Sharing GoSURF50 Data

Globe allows users to share their extra GoSURF50 data with other Globe or TM subscribers:

• Text the promo keyword to 2 + 10-digit number of the recipient
• Example: GOSURF50 to 29123456789

This feature enables users to share their unused data with friends or family who may need additional mobile data for specific applications.

Stopping GoSURF50 Subscription

If users no longer need the GoSURF50 promo, they can deactivate it:

• Text GOSURF STOP or GS STOP to 8080
• Receive confirmation of successful unsubscription
• Note: All unused data and freebies will be lost after stopping the promo

This option is useful for users who want to switch to a different promo or avoid automatic renewal.

Special Considerations and Limitations

When using GoSURF50 and its freebies, users should be aware of several important limitations:

1. One Freebie Per Promo: Only one freebie can be redeemed per registered GoSURF50 subscription at a time. To access different app bundles, users must either wait for the current freebie to expire or register for another GoSURF promo variant.

2. Expiration Timing: The validity period of a freebie is determined by when it was redeemed, not when the promo was registered. For example, if a user registers for GoSURF50 (3-day validity) on March 15 but only redeems the freebie on March 16, the promo will expire on March 18 but the freebie will expire on March 19.

3. Data Carry-Over: GoSURF50 is stackable, meaning unused data can be carried over to a new subscription. However, this carry-over does not apply to specific app bundles, only to the general mobile data allocation.

4. Registration via USSD: When registering through *143#, users must select their app bundle or freebie before they can subscribe to the promo. This differs from the text message registration method where the promo is registered first, followed by freebie selection.

5. Home Prepaid WiFi Limitations: For users with Globe at Home Prepaid WiFi, certain limitations apply. Specifically, users cannot redeem the GoSURF50 freebies (300MB data for apps like YouTube, Facebook, Viber, etc.) through the WiFi device itself. Instead, they must access the dashboard and use the SMS functionality to redeem these freebies.

Using Reward Points for GoSURF50

Globe offers an alternative method to register for GoSURF50 using reward points:

1. Ensure the personal number has a registered PIN with 4438

   • Text PIN ON to 4438 (requires ₱1 minimum balance)
   • Set a 4-digit PIN by texting PIN 4-digit PIN MIDDLE NAME to 4438

2. Use reward points from either a prepaid or postpaid number to gift GoSURF50 to a Home Prepaid WiFi

   • This method costs only 10 points
   • Provides a potentially more economical way to access the promo

This feature is particularly useful for users who have accumulated reward points but prefer to use them on their Home Prepaid WiFi rather than their mobile number.

Tips for Maximizing GoSURF50 Benefits

To make the most of GoSURF50 and its freebies, users should consider the following strategies:

1. Plan Freebie Redemption: Since only one freebie can be active at a time, users should plan which app bundle they need most for the coming days or weeks.

2. Monitor Data Usage: Regularly check data balance to avoid unexpected service interruptions, especially when relying on specific app bundles for work or communication.

3. Stack Promotions: When nearing the end of a GoSURF50 subscription, consider registering for a new promo to carry over any unused general data (though not app-specific freebies).

4. Use Add-Ons Wisely: Purchase add-ons only when necessary, as they extend the validity period of the existing subscription.

5. Explore Bundle Options: Evaluate bundled packages like GoSHARE&SHOP or GoWATCH&PLAY, as they may provide better value than individual app freebies if multiple services in the bundle are used.

Conclusion

GoSURF50 offers Globe and TM prepaid subscribers an affordable way to access 1GB of mobile data specifically for their choice of applications. By understanding the registration process, available freebie options, and management features, users can maximize the benefits of this promotional offer. The key to effectively using GoSURF50 lies in selecting the appropriate app bundle based on individual usage patterns, monitoring data consumption, and utilizing the various management options to extend or supplement data as needed.

While the freebies are limited to one per promo and require specific redemption codes, the flexibility of individual app options and bundled packages ensures that most users can find a configuration that suits their needs. Additionally, features like data carry-over, add-on purchases, and the ability to share data enhance the overall value proposition of GoSURF50.

For users with Home Prepaid WiFi, understanding the limitations regarding freebie redemption is crucial to avoid frustration. Similarly, the option to use reward points provides an alternative access method that may be more economical for some subscribers.

By following the guidelines and utilizing the tips provided in this guide, users can optimize their GoSURF50 experience and ensure they get the most value from their ₱50 investment in mobile data.
