Mobile internet access has become an indispensable part of Filipinos’ daily routines. In an effort to address this need, Star Telecom Alliance Resources, Inc. (STAR, Inc.) and Voyager Innovation partnered to provide Starmobile users with free internet access out of the box by pre-loading freenet into their latest Android smartphones.

With this 100% free-to-use app (Smart SIM required), users can visit white listed sites such as Lazada, Philippine Airlines, PayMaya, and Philippine Star to name a few. They can also participate in missions where they can earn points and exchange them for free Smart, Sun, TNT, or Globe prepaid packages.
Freenet is available initially on the newly-launched Starmobile UP Xtreme, but will soon be available in succeeding models.
