Finally! Globe PowerSurf MB Now Available for Prepaid!


Haaaah finally! I've been requesting for this since it become available last August. You can now subscribe to Globe PowerSurf volume-based data plans. For an explanation, volume-based data plans is very good if all you do on your phone is check Twitter, Facebook and other sites which is optimized for mobile.

Here's the rate table of Globe PowerSurf vs. Smart Always On.


Here's a note for PowerSurf 15/30/50 though, once you text the "POWERSURF <15/30/50>" keyword, it will ask you if you want to subscribe to time based data plan or the volume-based data plan. For a shortcut if you want to subscribe to volume-based data plans, here's the keywords:

MB15 send to 8888. (20 MB valid for 1 day)
MB30 send to 8888. (50 MB valid for 1 day)
MB50 send to 8888. (100 MB valid for 3 days)

Plan 99/299/499 are only available on volume-based data. By the way, to check your remaining MBs, send PSURFMB STATUS to 8888.

It's nice to see that telcos are now offering this kind of data plans here. I just don't like the old-school time based data plans. With these plans, you can leave your Twitter on 24/7 on your phone without worrying for high data charges.

I will try to subscribe to PowerSurf 99 and will report back here if it suits my needs.
