Looks like Globe Telecom has finally brought back unlimited 3G internet with a the rebranded service called Globe Super Surf.
Nothing new or earth-shaking actually, just that they now also offer prepaid daily unlimited surfing for Php20 per day. For postpaid subscribers, it’s Php2,000 per month on top of your regular MSF. This is the same rate for Globe Visibility Unlimited before so Super Surf is just a re-branding.
Super Surf is just a promo — available starting October 19, 2009 until March 31, 2010. This could be a trial period to see if there are subscribers that will be hogging the network and slowing down connections of other subscribers (it has happened before, you know).
There’s a lock-in period of 3 months.
Note: The prepaid Php20 per day rate is only applicable to mobile sites of GMail, Twitter, Plurk, Wikipedia, Friendster, Facebook and Ping.fm.

It’s just a rebranding so there’s nothing to be excited about really. And for that price tag? It’s ridiculous!
Better than nothing… hehehhehe… will definitely, try this one out and hopefully the network will not bug down…
@jhay – as Alma said, it’s way better than my last month’s Php9,000 3G internet bill.
i just applied for this one today. been waiting for it for like almost a month now since only globe offers blackberry plan here in our place. Since my storm has no wi-fi, this will surely be a big help and it’s actually cheap for blackberry users since there’s no more limit to the amount of kb you can use on your phone unlike before where a few hundred kb of data transfer per month is worth 1k or something?! this is definitely a bargain for BB users. Just my two cents.
two thousand pesos per month for unlimited internet time on an inferior wireless network. Globe Telecom has lost its marbles!
I wish they add Skype na rin.

@carl: two things: Globe is still a telecom company, so why would they want to cannibalize their revenue stream? The second is that the VoIP will definitely put a strain in their already limited data network if it catches on that you can use VoIP to call another Skype mobile user.
ciao!
I thought they will be offering daily unlimited but apparently its limited per website. Good start to do Unlimited Mobile web but i its too expensive to pay P2000 especially when DSL is lower and wifi is all over the place. I hope SMART and SUN can be more aggressive on giving subs want and not focus too much on revenue.
wew kala ko pwede balak ko pa naman i hook sa computer lol
re-branding indeed. Before this they used “connected 24 ever” to pitch unlimited access to selected sites.

Anyone know if there are a limited set of websites for the post paid plan. It doesn’t appear to be too clear anywhere.
Globe signal sucks in some sta rosa laguna areas
SuperDuo and Super Surf are on the center spread of Philippine Star today.
is there a shortcut way to register to super surf? it says you have to call their hotline.
I think for prepaid, the Php20/day unlimited surfing is per site also. So 20 for FB.. another 20 for Wiki.. another 20 for Gmail.. and so on.
this is good news!
just in time for my pinas xmas vacation
Mabilis naman kaya connection? And whatever happened to their Tattoo? Simcard na lang? We got turned off by Globe’s Tattoo, QC area na nga lang suuuuper bagal magconnect.
Sun 1day unlimited internet for only 50 pesos was just announced yesterday. Now if only they are more than mainly in the metro manila area

yeah… re-branding..
same apple different plastic bags!!!!
why not offer this unlimited with iphone 3gs!!!
Katatawag ko lang sa Globe CS, dipa daw ma avail to ng mga prepaid? Tama ba?
@Erin
Actually, what I’m referring to is Skype chat. It’s our primary communication tool at work which would really be a convenience to me if they add that up.
ok na rin kesa sa wala,pero kung pang masa ang pag usapan,subscribers cannot be reach that price talaga.
from what i’ve read, it is a rebranding of visibility but the difference is that you can attach the unlimited surfing account to your
old globe line/sim. so it’s an all in one sim. unlike the original visibility which allots another sim for the surfing account.
although, unlike sun’s broadband wireless sim, globe’s visibility can make calls and send text messages.
Smart Bro offers unlimited surfing for P1500 vs the Globe 2000 unlimited offer http://philippinestuff.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/globe-all-you-can-unlimited-surfing-on-cell-phone-or-usb-addict/

Well, after checking the other telco’s offering, Globe’s internet rates are the highest among the three. Smart has the 1500/999 unlimited plan (SmartBro), and even now, Sun has the P50/day unlimited internet load.
I’d stick to my SMART Bro Prepaid, or I might get the unlimited plan. Nothing beats Smart’s 3.5G coverage using the HSPA 850 network.
Abe,
Before they launch new services, they have to consider first our Globe Tattoo concern.
I was encouraged to purchase this Globe Tattoo recently here in a mall in Cabanatuan City.
At first, I thought it was just an isolated case whenever I experience either being disconnected or having very slow browsing.
It’s very unfair for their customers for this treatment.
I have been a Globe prepaid customers for the last 4 years. So I believe that Globe will consider our concern.
what’s wrong with this? -> everything
what’s good about this? -> NOTHING!
No more codes needed? You’ll just go to one website and that’s it?
unlimited nga kaso limited website lng din pala
20php per website awts!
Yeah-Globe is for the elite,smart for the middle class,Sun is for the lower class.
I have sims for these 3 networks.nothing beats SMART in terms of data communication.it has d speed of lightning yet it is branded as”MAGNANAKAW NG LOAD”kahit Piso load mo knukuha.Globe-it has snail speed when it comes to surfing yet superb in call/txt msg(esp in Videocall) and Customer Service and for SUN-Offers cheapest unlimited call yet after the sun went down u cnt use its unlimited call.
Yikes, too expensive.
Sun has what you call their Elite plans. They have a 1500 plan with unlimited mobile browsing, unlimited call and text sun to sun and unlimited landline calls. Plus they have free IDD minutes i think.
How can prepaid users register for this? Papatulan ko na sana. Naka TIME based ako sa curve 8520 ko. Wala ring nangyari. Ni di ako maka download ng app.
Paano ba a-activate yung BIS nito? Nakapag register na ako sa globe.blackberry.com.
Nope, don’t compare this to household DSLs, Broadbands or Plug-its, which you cannot connect directly (directly means no use of Wi-fi routers) through your iPhone or Blackberry. You can’t bring your lines and modems to malls and rice fields, either. If you think you could do these, then go stick with your modem and ISP.
P2,000 isn’t that hefty, I must say. My bill stays at MSF + P2,900 since my blackberry will always try to get my latest e-mail, feeds, etc. I think you can also use your phone as a modem so you can connect your laptop to the internet. So its unlimited kB for your phone + a Plug-it.
I tried Sun Broadband Wireless and it suck*d like hell. I left my Plug-it on their office and fortunately, I never received future bills from them. P1,500? I would rather shell out another 500 for Globe’s Super Surf than subscribing to Sun and buy Paracetamol tablets worth 500 to ease headaches, backaches, and all kind of aches you can encounter when surfing the net using Sun. Eww
I think I should stop using my bb. Akala ko magagamit ko siya even if prepaid. Wala man lang nag explain sa akin from Globe earlier na kailangan pala naka line. kainis
http://www.iloverainb0ws.com/?p=708
Can postpaid Globe subscribers subscribe to the P20/day unlimited surfing?
I think for Smart, P20 is only good for 60 minutes. What Smart offers is consumable 60 minutes of Internet surfing. This means within 24 hours no matter how many connect and disconnect, Internet use of 60 minutes costs P20. With that, I think the P20 unlimited surfing from Globe is better. But the news that it’s only for certain websites is a downside.
It’s misleading…
this is really cool.. i like this one ..
but the question is, how am i going to register for that P20 per day surf?
is there any registration procedures like in unlitext or unlicall?
if you know, please explain..
thanks so much!
@purple take note it’s not P20/day. It’s P20/day/site which only includes several sites. anyway, I think there’s still no other registration method other than calling 211 or their landline hotline number. Nung first time ko nga mag inquire through 211 di pa nila alam kung ano yung supersurf. noob CSRs LOL
Okay na ba siya sa prepaid?
holy crap this is pricey
available din ba to opera mini, o sa default browser lang
Ala kwenta. Pakisabi sa globe tanggalin yung tang inang harmony proxy nila. Pumapangit mga images. At para maka freebrowse ulet kami.
Is it limited to built-in browser? If so, then globe can shove it up their a$$.
hay naku sorry na lang kayo…wala kasing WIFI ang cellphone nyo..me? with my IPHONE 3GS i dont need the 3G all i have to do go to a cafe with wifi hotspot..saya say libre pa…
bumili na kasi kayo ng IPHONE 3Gs, tapon nyo na yang kopong kopng nyon nokia…
@ARIEL: IPhone3gs mo? may GPS na din ba yan? HTC ko kasi WIFI GPS na eh.
for others, swap nyo kay ariel yung phone niyo na kopong kopong daw. mayaman naman daw siya eh.
Mga gago! Aanhin ang wifi kung pwede gumamit ng 3g/3.5g anytime, anywhere.
For Free.
Ariel douchebag, have a nice day.
2,000 is too expensive. Unless if working profs and their company allows to shoulder it. NP. =P
wow naka iphone 3g sha….mag rocket mobile nalang kayo by rogers net work
what i know is,our internet here in pinas sucks regardless of service provider it might be.
I will not pay for 2000 a month for unlimited surfing.. The normal add-on is enough.. Tinulad nila to sa States and other countries na nag-ooffer ng unlimited internet surfing.. Pero super mahal naman nung sa atin.. O_o
This is an add-on too so any post paid plan can avail of this service.. Mapa-iPhone man yan o Samsung o Nokia, basta may web browser..
Yabang naman ni ARIEL.. Porket naka-iPhone lang akala mo kung sino na.. Masyado ka namang pa-cool.. Gumagamit ng web browsing ang mga tao dito for the sake of their businesses na dapat IMMEDIATE ang response.. Kumbaga, hindi lang nagpapabongga ng telepono..
Sad to say di ka maka-afford g unlimited browsing.. Eh pano kung wala nang Wi-fi signal, eh di deads ka na..
There are much better phones than your awesome iPhone3gS.. July next year, may bago na ulit, at luma na yang telepono mo.. Kung ako sayo, itatapon ko na yan dahil magiging oldies na yan next year.
)
is it just me being a dummy or talagang may bawas pa rin (P 5.00/login) kahit naka-charge na sila ng P20? naka-prepaid lang kasi ako. tapos tinry ko lang to.
Okay siya sa prepaid, specially sa Twitter browsing. Just make sure na may Php20.00 load ka for registration fee & extra load na rin kahit Php1.00 lang. Then using your default browser punta ka sa m.twitter.com (Any sites na applicable sa promo: Facebook, Friendster, Flickr, WikiPedia, Etc.). Then sa homepage may option ka, the SURF ALL DAY FOR Php20.00 or regular rates according to your browsing plan (Time or KB). Siyempre choose SURF ALL DAY, tapos may confirmation message na matatanggap then yun, browse na ng Twitter 24/7. Super astig ang GPRS signal sa Lucena City kaya ayun na eenjoy ko siya, lalo na madalas ako sa byahe.
Follow me pala: http://www.twitter.com/alBEYONder
This is such a funny promo for this bulok network…why would you pay 2000 per month for unlimitted access to a very limitted sites when I can go on wifi to any coffee shops around the metro for free and my wifi at home, thats what i do with my Iphone 3GS nakakapag update pa ako sa mga apps kahit saan sa apple for free and ulimitted browsing from pornsites to news sites CNN, BBC, NYT IHT CBS etc. libre tapos dito sa globe hanggang FB, twitter ka lang at gmail? NAKAKATAWA KAYA SILA!
why not focus on their network coverage na lang kaya, dahil super pangit signal nila in some areas around Laguna, Tagaytay, Davao and Gensan…

@ARIEL: IPhone3gs mo? may GPS na din ba yan? HTC ko kasi WIFI GPS na eh.
Oo naman, mine has a compass and a GPS i can get my exact coordinates kahit saan ako sa mundo, which i often do dahil napaka lakwatsero ko at di ako mawawala some when i do long distance travel from manila to davao with just a car, i do enjoy driving esp long distance driving tapos stopover sa mga nice places around the countrysides, tingnin lang ako sa iphone 3GS ko kitang kita ang mapa ng lugar kung asan na ako with matching coordinates at alam ko kung san ako heading kung mali ba ang direction ko nakikita naman ang national highway sa mapa. If your a frequent traveller around the country you know what i mean…Ive waited so long for this app to come out of apple esp the GPS and when it did i threw away my SEP990i.
kaya you guys throw away your bolok na nokia matagal ko ng ginawa yan noon pa ng lumabas ang SE series …
@ariel: funny how you feel like you are the jet setter of the world and having an iphone 3gs makes you ahead of other people. when in fact your iphone 3gs isnt that maximized with the network capabilities of the local mobile communication providers in the philippines…
you seem to me as a pathetic social climber… brag to us when your tax for a month can buy an iphone 3gs… your phone maybe new to you but to the rest of the world it ain’t… and i bet your iphone doesnt even have an applecare…
remember this you may have one iphone 3gs… but i have 2! haha beat that you moron!
Heard that SMART just launched their own version of UNLIMITED Mobile Internet. Although its not yet commercially published, you can already find it in m.smart.com.ph/surf. I was able to visit the site a while ago and plans are available in three variants P50 for 1 day, P300 for 7 days and P1200 for 30 days.
yung P20 UNLIMITED SURF, sa WAPSITES lang pwede gamitin. example yung wap site ng facebook is m.facebook.com. until december 5 lang daw para sa prepaid. hehehe

Why are you so upset? you are so pathetic for that matter…I am not competing with anybody, or with you, the hell i care if you have a thousand and one iphone, i have one and and only one unit but I love love mine…is it a crime to tell the world that you have an iphone? in the US people are so proud with their iphone and accept the fact that its the most coveted smartphone in the US and Europe…(oh well maya masasabi ka na naman for this statement) siya sige sabihin mo na at magmura ka pa sa gusto mo baka aatekihin ka pa ng puso pag di mo ginawa yan ako pa ang dahilan ng pagpanaw mo…
and besides ano ngayon kung malaos ito a year or two bakit hihingi ba ako ng pera sa yo pambili ng bagong unit ng iphone?
Social climber? hahaha if you only know me…if your definition of an antisocial person is a social climber then i am one…
now whose the moron here?
tsk, tsk.. globe super surf po ang pinaguusapan dito, hindi iphone..
So what do you do to avail of the P20/day/site surfing? I’m happy with just Twitter.
Hoy mga putang ina ninyo! kala niyo kung sino kayong mga sosyal! kung alam ko lang ariel kumakain ka rin ng tamod ng tricycle driver tang ina mong bakla ka! buwiset!!!
dapat sana sa lahat ng web … boring naman kasi kung isang web site lang …
Hopefully meron ding unlimited surfing per day! not per site ha?:)
“now whose the moron here?”
lol ariel you’re the moron. it’s who’s because it’s who is. whose is kanino. bobo.
ariel saksak mo sa baga mo yang iphone 3gs mo.. eh kung mga games mo na pangbata lang naman ang habol mo sige mag iphone ka nalang, seems like you’re the type of immature person who would like that. the blackberry is the phone of the elite. yung nagaayos nga ng psp sa greenhills eh naka iphone 3gs din tulad mo eh lol. magsama kayo
Smart and Globe are both have their unlimited broadband internet. On iphones you can also download free online movies at http://downloadmoviesfree.net.
