Available for only P25 valid for one day, GoUNLI25 allows subscribers to connect with contacts in any Globe network as well as with other users subscribed to other networks both in the Philippines and abroad, for as long as these contacts have Viber accounts.

Subscribers who want a full Viber experience can also avail themselves of unlimited Viber Calls and Chat for only P20 a day and get access to Viber’s high-definition voice calls and best sound quality. For as low as P10, budget-conscious subscribers can still enjoy a whole day of Viber Chat with friends. To register to any of the Viber mobile browsing promos, subscribers can dial *143# for free.
