Is there still an unlimited data offer here in Philippines?
Telecommunication companies here in the country are rarely offering the unlimited data feature these days to their prepaid user. Internet is widely used in the Philippines but you’d be surprise that most of the people are still using data. There are a lot of factors since we’re an island nation, it could be internet service providers are not offering service in their area and also not everyone can afford to have a monthly internet subscription.
We discovered that Gomo is offering unlimited data promo with up to 5mbps speed for only ₱499 valid for 30 days. This is a good deal and very affordable compared using consumable data.
