Globe vs Smart: Which has better prepaid mobile data promos?

With the increasing penetration of smartphones, and popularity of social media, Filipinos have since been hooked to staying online, whether to check news or share their memorable experiences.

Team Globe or team Smart?

Just on Facebook alone, the Philippines is making a name as it has over 60 million active users on the platform.

Given this, we always try to search for a good network. So we always read news on who offers faster mobile data, Globe Telecom or Smart. But here at GIZGUIDE, we would try to compare which provider has better mobile data promos

Please note that we only compared those promos that are stated on the operators’ websites. 

Starting off with both telcos' three-day mobile data promo.

Globe vs Smart: Which has better prepaid mobile data promos?

According to its website, Smart is offering GIGASURF+ 75, allowing its subscribers to enjoy 1GB plus 1GB per day for YouTube, iFlix, iWant TV, NBA League Pass, Cignal TV. The promo is also paired with unlimited calls to Smart, TNT, Sun, as well as unlimited texts to all networks.

Globe, meanwhile, has GoSURF50. For three days, you will enjoy 1GB of data, and 2GB GoWatch & PLAY + premium video access and in-game items. Aside from free data for gaming and video entertainment, Globe is also giving 300MB for an app of your choice, and unli text to all networks.

For this part, clearly PLDT's wireless arm Smart emerged as the winner as it gives extra 1GB of free data everyday compared to Globe. It should also be noted that the GIGASURF+ 75 promo of Smart provides unlicall to TNT, Smart, and Sun.

Now, let's move on to Globe and Smart’s mobile data promos that are good for one whole week.

GOSAKTO70 and GOSAKTO90 of Globe offer 1GB and 2GB of mobile data, respectively. Both promos also have unlimited text to all networks, and 2GB GoWatch & PLAY + premium video access and in-game items.

The network also has GOSAKTO120 and GOSAKTO140. The only difference between these two and the cheaper GOSAKTOs we mentioned is GOSAKTO120 and GOSAKTO140 have unlimited call to Globe and TM.

Smart, on the other hand, has GIGASURF+ 149, providing 2GB of data and free 1GB per day of video everyday for YouTube, iFlix, iWant TV, NBA League Pass, Cignal TV; unlimited calls to Smart, TNT, and Sun; and unlimited text to all networks.

It was a close fight for this part, but we still chose Smart given its free 1GB of data per day for subscribers' to enjoy seamless streaming.

For our last stop: let’s compare their mobile data promos for 30 days.

Globe has GoSURF299 with 1.5GB; GoSURF599 with 4GB; and GoSURF999 for 8GB. 

These three promos all have 1GB of free data for an app of your choice.

How about Smart?

It has GIGASURF+ 449 with 2GB; GIGASURF+ 749 for 5GB; and GIGASURF+ 999 for 8GB. Just like all of the Smart data promos we included here, these deals have 1GB of free mobile data per day for video entertainment. They also allow subscribers to enjoy unlimited text to all networks and unlimited calls to TNT, Smart, and Sun. 

Again, while Globe’s GoSURF299 and GoSURG599 are much cheaper than Smart’s GIGASURF+ 449 and GIGASURF+ 749, the latter telco carrier provides more services.

Also, although GoSURF999 and GIGASURF+ 999 have the same price, you will make the most of your money with Smart with free 1GB of data everyday for 30 days.

Smart’s free 1GB of data per day, as well as its unlimited calls to sister wireless networks TNT and Sun are surely its edges against rival Globe.
