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 Php10USD 0.17INR 14EUR 0.16CNY 1).

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!

What if the subs is on Unlisurf plan, will Globe still incur charges on top of the monthly bill?

What happens if you have other apps working in the background, like watsapp or viber, even your email app?

Nakaka-free FB ako sa laptop ko. Gamit ko yung tattoo 3g sim sa broadband stick.

Ang dami kong link na na-click kahopon pero di naman bumukas yung external site. Ma-charge pa rin kaya ako pag nag-load ako?

Doesn’t work well if you have regular load on your phone. Once you enable data connection on smartphones, it automatically charges you 5 pesos for 15min. Free facebook is mostly useful for non-smartphones or keep your Globe prepaid with just 1 peso load to enjoy free facebook.

may nakalagay naman na u’ll be notified na may charge pag pumunta ka sa outbound link,so, nasa user na un kung tumuloy siya. .but still for me panloloko yan, kasi kung talagang free, wala na dapat paliligoy,magset nalang sila ng apn na free. .tapos!

How do you DISABLE the service?

thanks.. cause I’m already unli-internet anyway, but I accidentally clicked on the free link, and now it’s telling me it’s going to charge me if I go out of facebook mobile site..

thanks.. I just want to disable it

I’m trying to figure out din kung pano i-disable yun sa FB app. Instead of just going straight to the browser when I tap a link, dadaan pa sya sa isang dialogue screen asking me if I wanna get an unli data package. It’s annoying as hell.
