Get information at your fingertips anytime, anywhere even without WiFi

If you didn’t know it yet, now’s the best time to be alive and well informed! All the information you need or want is made available to you at the touch of a button, thanks to the Internet. From knowing the latest weather news that help you plan your day accordingly to splurging on the best fan fiction from still-undiscovered writers, the Internet is the source to staying updated—and connected—about almost any topic and might just be the best thing mankind has produced since sliced bread.

And now, your favorite social media platform has made it even easier for everyone to stay connected. On March 23, 2015, Facebook launched Internet.org app in the Philippines, marking the app’s debut in Southeast Asia through wireless service provider Smart Communications, Inc. under the Talk ‘N Text (TNT) brand. The Internet.org app enables TNT subscribers to enjoy free access to an initial listing of 24 popular websites on their mobile phones. The websites, which also include Facebook and Messenger, feature very informative and practical content that TNT subscribers will definitely find useful in everyday life. The launch of the app was made even more official when Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Mark Zuckerberg posted on his personal page on the social site: “We’re one step closer to connecting the world as we launched Internet.org in the Philippines today. Now everyone in the country can have free access to internet services for health, education, jobs and communication on the Smart network.”

Now imagine getting access to very rich content from websites such as INQUIRER.net and Wattpad, even without WiFi! Internet.org’s partnership with TNT is enabling Filipinos all over the country to do so, improving lives in the process. With that, INQUIRER.net has prepared this handy infographics guide to help you surf the Internet with ease:

A game changer for Pinoys

Through the partnership of TNT and Internet.org, online activities like job hunting, buying and selling, or reading news, which typically would require the use of desktop computers five to seven years ago, are now made available for free access on mobile phones for TNT subscribers. Aside from current news via INQUIRER.net, TNT subscribers can also access a broader range of other highly useful topics and information through the Internet.org app, such as financial literacy (via YourMoney.com), childcare information (via MAMA), and free programs and trainings found on the official website of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (via TESDA.gov.ph). To learn more about the available services/websites under the Internet.org app, visit www.talkntext.com.ph/internetorg or simply text INTERNET to 9999. Indeed, it’s the best time to be well informed!
