 Meanwhile, Globe launched the first truly unlimited mobile Internet surfing subscription offer for BlackBerry handset users-the Super Surf for BlackBerry MAX. The latest offering from Globe allows users to access not only websites covered by BlackBerry network such as Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and Multiply, but also sites that are not yet optimized on BlackBerry Access Point Name (APN) like YouTube.

The current Super Surf for BlackBerry allows users to freely surf only on sites within the BlackBerry APN. Accessing sites not covered by the BlackBerry APN, especially those with video streaming, will cost the subscriber extra P5 for every 15 minutes of web browsing.

 “We want to make the Internet experience as smooth and worry-free as it can be. Super Surf was designed with that in mind: Giving our customers unlimited and convenient access to the Internet content and websites that they love. Now with Super Surf for BlackBerry MAX, we are upping the ante and letting them go anywhere they want in cyberspace, no holds barred. We encourage all our BlackBerry users to upgrade their surfing experience with Super Surf for BlackBerry MAX,” Globe PostPaid head Martha Sazon said.

Open to Globe postpaid BlackBerry subscribers, Super Surf for BlackBerry MAX is just P1,500 a month or P300 for five days, and will be available till Aug. 18, 2010.

To avail of Super Surf for BlackBerry MAX, Globe BlackBerry subscribers simply need to register via SMS by sending BB MAX 300 to 8888, for five days of unlimited browsing, or BB MAX ON to 8888 for the full 30-day service.
