globe free fb | Prepys' Homepage

Globe and Facebook partnered 6 months ago to offer Free FB on all Globe/TM subscribers a service which, according to Mark Zuckerberg, doubled the number of people who are using internet and data in the Philippines.

It is further claimed that more than 1% of Facebook users worldwide are using Free Facebook on Globe (802 million daily active users on average in March 2014).

However, since last week, Globe has been sending text messages to their subscribers that the Free Facebook service will expire in April 30. The service was initially for only 3 months and was then extended for another 3 months.

It seems like Globe has no intentions of extending it once more. Once the free FB service ends in April 30, subscribers will be charged the normal data rates.

Late last month, Globe Telecom granted all of their subscribers (Postpaid and Prepaid) free access to Facebook. Although a great service it may not always appeal to everyone especially to those who are subscribed to unlimited data. So if you want to opt out, here’s how you can do it.

free fb

1. Dial *143# on your phone’s dialer then press send
2. Choose number 2 (FreeFB)
3. Choose 4 (Stop)
4. You will then receive an SMS with a link provided, click it
5. Click Stop Using Facebook for Free on Globe

And that’s it! You will again receive an SMS confirming that you’ve successfully unsubscribed to the free service. You will no longer get the “Leaving Facebook” notification whenever you click on links that will lead outside Facebook.

You may resubscribe to Free Facebook by visiting m.facebook.com/free for FREE on Globe Network. Promo is valid until January 25, 2014.
