We witnessed the launch of it since last April and waited for our queries from their officials. It took us over 3 months of waiting and researching for this blog post and as we are just hours away to maximize this offer. Up to this time, we never got any answers from them after a number of follow-ups so looks like our self-discovery did the trick after all.
Maximizing the Smart Free Youtube offer as we took some tidbits of info (converting our questions into answers) that you may not gonna see in their FAQs section
1. Playing 720p for 1 hour info - Well this is not true as we can still play Full HD video or even 2K on the Smart Youtube free offer but as a warning, the higher the resolution the bigger data that you will gonna consume
2. Not only 1 GB - At home and in our workstation, we are proud of using Smart Bro Home LTE WiFi that we reviewed last August 2017. We are maximizing the free Youtube offer and all the time, we are getting 1,300+ MB or more than 1.2 GB of free Youtube access
3. Also on Home LTE WiFi - At the media launch at that time, it was not yet available in Smart Bro Home LTE WiFi but gradually they added it only on BOOST50 which is the device's own call to Smart Prepaid's GIGA50 but unfortunately they did not include it to BOOST299 and higer offers
4. In all platforms - This is another missing info in the FAQs section if the said offer can be used in all of available Youtube platforms: app, desktop thru www youtube com and mobile at m.youtube.com . Good to know, it worked in our tests
5. In two Youtube-related apps too - Happy to share that the offer is a-ok to Youtube Go (the other Youtube app dedicates more on using less data by telling you how much MB can you consume on a video and it is capped mostly at 480p) and Youtube Gaming if you are more into watching e-sports related content
For now, Smart will gonna end their free Youtube offer until July 31. Either they will gonna extend it once again or not, it was a very good 3 1/2 months of freebie. Just imagine, we saved 105 GB of data (if you will maximize 1 GB per day) from this offer but for sure, we are still looking forward for more
