Globe offers free Facebook access to subs

It started with Twitter, now Globe announced that they’ll also offer free access to the Zuckberg-owned social media account starting on October 31.

The free FB access doesn’t require any SMS subscriptions. All there’s left for a Globe subscriber to do is logon to m.facebook.com using their smartphone’s browser.

As long as you don’t click on an outbound link, the service will not incur additional data charges to your load or postpaid bill. However, if you did click on an external link, you’ll immediately be notified about the charges which, in the case of an out of load prepaid sub, can be deducted on the next top up (10MB for Php10).

Globe’s free Facebook access is slated to begin on the 31st of this month and and will run until January next year.

Will it still be free if you access Facebook through its app if you’re using a smartphone?

Medyo delikado sa mga Postpaid users lalo na if your using non rooted android phone.So better use prepaid sim for this free service.

sa ibang bansa tulad sa Africa, libre ang facebook pero text only via . sana pati dito sa Social Media capital of the world tulad ng Pinas, libre din.

“in the case of an out of load prepaid sub, can be deducted on the next top up (10MB for Php10).” – correct me if i am wrong, if i clicked a link that opens another site, and it uses up 10 pesos worth of data, and i have no balance at the moment; the next time i load worth 20 pesos, my load gets deducted 10 pesos automatically? can’t they just not load the website in the first place? as the post above says, it’s a trap!

@sonex its an option and ignorance of your gadget and what your browsing will not excuse you from paying what you used up.

“ignorance of your gadget” BIG WORD!!!

alam mo naman siguro na once binuksan mo ang mobile data mo, lahat ng app mo tulad ng fb messenger, viber, kakao talk, line, wechat, etc eh magtritrigger ng outbound request para mag fetch ng data. pwera nalang kung may i-provide silang ibang APN na strictly domain lang ng fb ang maaccess. pero dahil PWEDE ang outbound link, ibig sabihin pwede ang request to other domain. kaya nganga ka pag nagkataon.
