GOMO Problems Limitations and Disadvantages of Unlimited Data

UPDATE DECEMBER 12: GOMO problems, limitations, and disadvantages are focused on this post. If you are looking or wondering what are the benefits and advantages on choosing GOMO, then go to GOMO

UPDATE November 25:

If Globe has a strong signal in your area then better buy or convert your existing number to GOMO as it appears to be using Globe’s resources/facilities. You won't have any problems when using GOMO.

Additionally, it seems that GOMO offers the cheapest internet promo when it comes to prepaid data allocation:

  • 1GB = 10pesos (for example, 30GB = 299 pesos)
  • It has No Expiry. No need to worry to register to another promo just to extend unused data allocation
  • Unli internet flash offers. If you know you’ll be doing lots of download and upload for the month, subscribe to this one as your No Expiry Data remains intact while enrolled in the Unli Offer
  • No Expiry Calls and Text. Think of it as Baon. Convert some data allocation for Call and Text to be used only as needed. Those Call and Text also has No Expiry anyway

Now going back to the main topic of GOMO disadvantages and limitations, although it may have a few problems, it is still a great to choose promo internet promo. To give an idea of how awesome this cheap GOMO unlimited data promo is, it can easily manage simultaneous data workload from different users without any errors.


Limitation of GOMO unlimited internet offer - 5Mbps ONLY!

The first disadvantage some people may think is the speed cap. Interested readers may note that the internet speed is limited at 5Mbps. Now some may ask:

  • Isn't that a bad thing? 
  • Is it slow? 
  • Is it actually a limitation?

Based on actual experience, it is not that noticeable as it can handle simultaneous workload -- two full time work from home and two full time online classes. This already includes the video sessions, meetings, presentations, file transfer, quiz sites, Google Meet, Zoom, MS Teams.

Streaming is also NOT Affected as the kids are watching YouTube and Netflix at the same time without lag or buffer.

Basically, at 499 pesos for unlimited data, abay, talagang sulit na sulit sya eh

Unlimited data is not always offered

This is not actually a GOMO problem but seems more like a strategy. Just imagine the service degradation that may happen if millions of users availed at the same time and do streaming or downloads.

Instead of considering it as a disadvantage, look at it at another perspective, exciting at ka-abang-abang ang unli data offer ni GOMO (parang yun mga abangers lang sa CODM)

Is GOMO unlimited data problematic in downloads?

At 5Mbps, the download speed rate will fall somewhere between 400Kbps to 1Mbps. So yeah, that might be a limitation to some.

But not to uses who no longers download stuffs. Why download when it would only take up hard disk space? Also, in this day and age where everything is going to cloud and shows are already available online, why download davah?

GOMO 4G not working

It all depends in the area. Research shows that GOMO uses Globe facilities. If Globe has strong LTE, 4G, or even 5G service in your location, then for sure, you wouldn't encounter any problems with your GOMO sim.

However, if this is the first time that this has happened, then it is possible that there is an outage in your location. Better check if there is a maintenance activity in your area

How to check if there is a GOMO maintenance in my area?

Network operators usually send out SMS advisories if there would be a maintenance in a localized portion or nationwide outage. However, it is also a good idea to check out GOMO's official online or social channels for such announcements. Medyo masipag si GOMO mag announce sa kanilang GOMO fam.

Cannot register in GOMO app

New users who are experiencing problems registering their new GOMO number in the app may also do it via the GOMO website. Technically, if you are able to register in the GOMO website, then the app may have not installed correctly. Better re-install it.

Where can I load my GOMO sim?

This is possible within the GOMO app, GOMO website, and via GCash

My GOMO sim did not arrived

Sometimes that is dependent in the delivery address or with the courier. However, if the SIM has not yet arrived within a week or beyond the expected arrival time, better raise it with GOMO support (masakit ma-biktima ng Ghosting. Yun walang paramdam)

When does GOMO unlimited data becomes available?

It is not regularly offered but based on historical observation, it will be offered during the monthly sale of online shops. (Para syang pag-ibig, bigla na lang darating kaya iavail mo na bago pa mawala)

Which is better GOMO or Globe or Smart or Dito?

For the longest time, only Globe and Smart are the two network operators here in Philippines. I can't say that it has always been happy days the two as there are instances of bad experience. 

Currently using GOMO and so far enjoying it (tsaka maganda numero ko bwehehhe). As for Dito, haven't tried it yet since I'm not sure if Dito services are already available dito (see what I did there? Ausba?)

GOMO VS Rocket sim

As mentioned, I would have to choose GOMO. I did try out Rocket and for some reason it worked great on the first few days but wouldn't launch certain apps and sites. Besides rocket has their own problems: Smart Unlimited Data Problems Errors Disadvantages

GOMO VS Postpaid

Again I would have to choose GOMO. Postpaid numbers do not expire but so is GOMO. Their data, call, and text does not expire plus the added benefit of no monthly bills.

Does Globe and Smart also does not expire?

Apparently, that is possible. You only need a great jutsu for that. I won't discuss it here since it has been explained at Globe Smart No Expiration Promo

That's just about it. One final thought to ponder is why not try and experience it first hand so you can decide for yourself based on actual usage. It is relatively cheap for unlimited internet good for a month and determine if it is suitable for you or your household needs.

  8. Not advisable for GAMING. Hindi mobile gaming but GAMING. Anlaki na ng mga video games sa pc at console HINDI SULIT. How many days mag download ng 80gb game sa 600kpbs/5mbps speed. Also my regular sim can go 30mbps while gomo barely reaches 1mbps.
