Voyager Innovations announced that it is bringing more mobile rewards and free digital experiences so Filipinos can enjoy the best of the Internet through its\u00a0freenet\u00a0mobile app and platform.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With eight million users as of\u00a0end-August 2018,\u00a0freenet\u00a0has been\u00a0opening up\u00a0new ways for consumers and enterprises to connect. The free internet and rewards app is now the no. 1 free lifestyle app on Google Play in the country, helping further accelerate digital adoption and usage among Filipinos.<\/p>\n

Freenet users earn points by completing \u201cmissions\u201d within the app, which could range from visiting partner sites, downloading partners\u2019 apps on their phones, or inviting new members to download and register with the app using their unique referral codes. They can then redeem these earned points in exchange for telco load and data packages from Smart, Sun, TNT and Globe as well as gaming\u00a0ePins\u00a0and digital vouchers.<\/p>\n

With the expanded offer,\u00a0freenet\u00a0is stepping up its rewards to include digital vouchers for goods and experiences. Voyager Innovations expects that this will foster increasing digital behavior among consumers.<\/p>\n

To kick off the expanded offer to its users,\u00a0freeenet\u00a0launched its innovative \u201cFreeniversaya: a\u00a0FREEnet\u00a0concert\u201d event, which allows users to redeem FREE concert tickets using the points they have accumulated from being loyal users of the\u00a0freenet\u00a0app.<\/p>\n

The concert, slated for September 20 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, is being headlined by top OPM acts that include Bamboo, Gloc-9, Moira\u00a0dela\u00a0Torre, KZ\u00a0Tandingan, Shanti Dope,\u00a0Ben&Ben, and Hashtags.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started with telco load and data packages for all networks in the\u00a0freenet\u00a0shop, then recently expanded to gaming e-Pins which were such a huge hit among Filipino gamers,\u201d said\u00a0Dindo Marzan, VP and managing director for Marketing Technologies at Voyager.\u00a0\u201cThis time we\u2019re giving a more rewarding experience to our users by enabling them to redeem free concert tickets using the points they accumulated within\u00a0freenet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connecting the \u2018unconnected\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Marzan said the massive popularity of\u00a0freenet\u2013particularly among the young and price-sensitive mobile users\u2014suggests a pent up demand for sponsored data and rewards in the Philippines, where a third of the population is still unable to experience always-on Internet.<\/p>\n

Latest data from We Are Social show that the number of Internet users stands at 67 million Filipinos as of 2018, translating to 63% of the population.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s accessing our partners\u2019 apps and sites or redeeming data packages using their points, the goal of\u00a0freenet\u00a0from the start has always been simple: to connect the unconnected and underserved so that they can take part in the growing digital economy,\u201d Marzan added.<\/p>\n

On top of the\u00a0Freeniversaya\u00a0concert,\u00a0freenet\u00a0app users can also get a chance to win prizes\u00a0everyday\u00a0for your daily dose of happiness with\u00a0Dailygaya\u00a0Raffle Promo. Every day, until September 29, a lucky\u00a0freenetizen\u00a0will take home awesome prizes from\u00a0freenet\u00a0– from\u00a0PayMaya\u00a0credits,\u00a0sodexo\u00a0GCs, to brand new smartphones and motorcycles.<\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a0freenet\u00a0also offers free data access to select apps and sites to Smart, TNT, and Sun subscribers nationwide. Some of the free apps and sites that can be accessed without data charges through the platform include\u00a0PayMaya,\u00a0Lendr, Lazada, Zalora,\u00a0Unionbank, and Philstar.com, among others.<\/p>\n

Aside from access to partner apps and sites,\u00a0freenet\u00a0also offers limited-time access to select sites during \u201cNetzee Hour,\u201d including free daily access to Facebook, Instagram, and Clash of Clans from 7AM-8AM; Twitter\u00a0and\u00a0Rules of Survival from 12NN-1PM; and Mobile\u00a0Legends from\u00a08PM-10PM.<\/p>\n

Initially launched as\u00a0SafeZone\u00a0in 2015,\u00a0freenet\u00a0is available to all mobile users in the Philippines by simply installing the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n

Voyager Innovations is a technology company in the Philippines.<\/p>\n
