GETTING STARTED
To get started with SafeZone, users only have to visit www.safezone.ph or download the mobile app in the Google Play Store to see a list of partner apps and sites that they can access without additional data charges. Once in SafeZone, users will have to switch “Load Protect” ON to ensure that they do not get charged for accessing other mobile apps and sites that are not part of SafeZone.
When Load Protect is turned ON, users will not be charged the standard P5 for 15 minutes of usage when they access SafeZone’s partner apps and sites. When users proceed to a site that is not part of SafeZone, they will be redirected to a landing page where they have the option to continue surfing by subscribing to a data package.
To know more about SafeZone and the services it offers, simply visit www.safezone.ph or download the SafeZone app at the Google Play Store using your Smart mobile phone.
