Prepaid internet is no stranger in the Philippines, especially when the country is still branded as the social media capital of the world. There is no question that we always want to stay connected to the web, whether for social media interaction or just to be updated with current events. Although, in order to stay connected outside the comfort of our homes, we need to have access to mobile data. Thankfully, our local telcos have adapted to the changing tides in technology and are providing various plans for us to stay connected. Not to mention, just last year, consumers were given the opportunity of having prepaid home broadband options.
We’ll be starting a series of guides on how much data you can buy at a set amount. Today, we’ll be looking at plans for those on a “not so high” budget. So, how much data can you buy for Php50? Let’s find out!
Author’s Note: Listed promos are the best deals you can get for Php50 from the included Telcos. They may have other more affordable and more expensive plans which you can check at their websites.
Apart from providing their consumers with mobile data, Telcos sometimes also include a few add-ons to their plans. This could include calls, texts, and even free data for apps such as YouTube or some games. Here’s a table of their offers.

Globe sucks
The last time I know, SUPERSERF50 is “UNLI” for 1 day, but with capping of 800MB/day.. yes per day… supposedly you registered 10PM today, used your 800MB allocation before 12MN, you can never surf again (or probably slow connection), then after 12MN, connection is refreshed/reset and you have another 800MB. should you be using it up, then, register for another day again. :)
TM GOSURF50 does not include unlimited text to all? I thought it is offered to both Globe/TM. But anyway, I don’t use them…
I’m with globe, and using 108 Gosakto for 1 month validity, then adding gosakto 37 for 1GB on top. I have internet at home and in the office so I just need some moments during commute to connect to Data. :)
Giga surf 50 also comes with unli text to all network.
SUPERSURF50 is unlimited access for one day? Is this is even existing knowing globe’s reputation.
GOSURF50 for TM is valid for 3 days… and kindly indicate if it has data capping and how much. . Thanks
gosurf50 for globe wala pong data capping? with in one day?
Correction: GAANSURF50 is vald for 7 days not 1 day :)
Thank you for the heads-up! We’ve edited the table.:)
