What is Globe’s Magic IP and why is it free?

Been getting a lot of comments from readers regarding this certain Magic IP from Globe which allegedly allows users to be able to still surf the net even with zero load. So I sent out a message to @talk2globe if they knew anything about it.

All I got was this answer — @talk2globe: Nope! We don’t have or offer such service. .

However a number of Tweeps replied back to me saying it is possible.

I did a little bit of digging, found a number of instructions in the forums and tried it.

After a couple of tries, I was able to surf the net using a Globe Tattoo and a Globe SIM card with no load in it except for a few hundred free SMS credits. Nope, I’m not teaching you how to do it but if you’re motivated enough, a few Google searches will point you to the right direction.

This is because you can still dial-in and connect to their network without any load credits (what Globe does is cap your bandwidth down to 0kbps until you reload).

It looks like the Magic IPs are a block of IP addresses you can use as a proxy to bypass the bandwidth cap set by the network (or something to that effect).

Turns out that this loophole has been out as early as last year (some says it’s been there since 2009). The Magic IPs actually expire or is eventually blocked by Globe’s network engineers every month so users will look for a new set of IPs.

What’s actually more interesting is that a number of enterprising people who have early access to new sets of Magic IPs would actually peddle them — all for a very low price of Php200. Been seeing comments from some of them here but ignored it for the longest time.

    you have made your assignment but left half undone. Its not only globe that has Magic IP’s (or ipis). Even Smart and Sun has their share of Magic IP’s. Try Smart Magic IP’s mate, their faster than Globe’s.

      Kahit alam na namin ito ng matagal na, hindi ko masikmurang magnakaw ng hindi sa kin o ng hindi ko rightfully nababayaran. Siguro sa mga tulad nyong KRIMINAL e ok lang. Ang KAKAPAL kasi ng mga mukha nyong iskwater!

      paanong naging kawawa pa ang mga nagma-magic IP? nangunguha na nga lang ng data connection na di naman nila binayaran, kakaawaan pa…

      dapat sa mga ganyan bina-block ang phone para di na magamit e.

      ang kawawa yung mga NAGBABAYAD.

      kami pa talaga ang kawawa ah? kahit kailan hindi ako maiingit sa mga maling gawain. Kayo kong magbayad at kailanman hindi ako umaasa sa libre.

      magbanat kayo ng buto para mamuhay naman kayo ng tama. sinisisi nyo ang mga taong nasa tama gayung alam nyo na kayo ang salot sa lipunan na to.

      mas nanaisin ko pang walang internet connection kaysa matutunan yung mga kawalangyaan at kagaguhang pinaggagawa nyo.

      Sino nga ba ang social climber? Yung mga nakakabayad ng maayos or yung mga can’t afford mag-unlimited postpaid internet kaya nagreresort sa mga ganitong illegal na aktibidades? Mamuhay kasi kayo ng naaayon sa pagsisikap nyo! Hindi yung magnanakaw kayo at mamemerwisyo ng ibang subscribers na nagbabayad!

    Squatter mentality. Don’t reason out Globe’s failures to give you decent service. Just have your line terminated and switch to another ISP. Don’t retaliate by being bandwidth leechers.

    tama si comentados, ginawa ko na din ito sa gigil ko sa globe! nagbabayad kami ng 1250 per month para sa broadband pero palagi napuputol, mabagal ang connection at poor customer service! kaso hindi ka din ttagal sa magic ip’s dahil hindi ito stable… bagsak pa din ako sa poor broadband connection:( ayusin dapat ng globe ang buhay nila para matigilan na kami maghanap ng alternitibong paraan para makapag internet :)

      pinaglalaban ko lang yung tama, hindi sa nagmamalinis ako alam ko may pagkakasala din ako. pero sa sitwasyon na alam ko ang tama at mali syempre tama ang pipiliin ako dahil marunong akong magisip. ikaw alam kong alam mo na mali ang pagnanakaw di ba? eh bakit patuloy mo parin ginagawa? kung madiskarte ka mas alam mong makakamit mo yung gusto mong makuha kung tamang daan yung susundin mo.
