How to get the best Pokemon GO experience with Freenet, PayMaya and Smart

Everyone’s been waiting for the Philippine release of Pokemon GO, one of the most exciting and widely anticipated mobile games this 2016. And the great news is, it’s FINALLY here! Philippine trainers can now go on the streets and around their neighborhoods in search of elusive pocket monsters and claim ownership of Pokemon gyms from fellow trainers.

The best part is you can level up your Pokemon GO experience with a little help from your digital friends at Voyager Innovations and PayMaya Philippines. They’re bringing you the tandem of freenet and PayMaya apps to help you on your quest to become a digital Pokemon master–the same way Misty and Brock accompanied Ash and Pikachu on their way to greatness! Here’s how:

Download the Pokemon GO app for FREE via freenet

To jumpstart your Pokemon GO journey, download the app for FREE and without data charges from freenet! Yep, that’s right, Android users who are Smart subscribers (available soon to Sun and TNT subscribers) only have to open their freenet apps and download the app from there, and they don’t even have to have a data plan to do so. It’s as simple as that!

Get news from the local Pokemon GO community

Once you have the Pokemon GO app, check out the dedicated page on the freenet app to get updates from the local Pokemon GO community. Read news about Pokemon GO, check out what the latest official updates are, and connect with fellow Pokemon enthusiasts. The best part is–you guessed it–you can do all of these things on your phone for free and without data charges.

Through freenet, users will also be able to access Facebook Lite, Twitter, and Instagram for free, so they can be updated and share their Pokemon Go experience with friends anytime, anywhere. Aside from these, users also get to access dozens of apps and websites without data charges, all thanks to freenet.

Play Pokemon GO without data charges with Smart

Speaking of FREE, you can also play Pokemon GO without data charges! Smart has already announced that all of its subscribers can play the game for FREE for 7 days upon launch. So don’t worry about running out of load or skyrocketing phone bills for now, and make sure you have enough power banks in handy instead!

Buy Pokecoins easily with PayMaya

Once you’ve gotten a feel of the game and caught your fill of Pikachu, Rattata, Staryu and Zubat, it’s time for some serious Pokemon GO gameplay with the help of Pokecoins! Players only have to download the PayMaya app on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, load up their accounts with at least P60 to cover the standard app store verification fee, and link their virtual VISA card to their app store accounts to be able to make in-app purchases for Pokecoins.

Pokecoins allow players to purchase various items that will help them easily navigate and get the most out of the game, such as Pokeballs to catch Pokemon with, Lucky Eggs that allow them to “hatch” various types of Pokemon, Potions to restore the health of their Pokemon, and Incense and Lure Modules that make it easy to attract wild Pokemon to their immediate vicinity.

In-app purchases are made more convenient with PayMaya as mobile game players can easily load up at any of the over 15,000 PayMaya reloading stations nationwide that include SM Malls Business Centers, Robinson’s Department Stores, Bayad Centers, 7-Eleven stores with Cliqq kiosks, TouchPay Kiosks, and Smart Padala Centers, on top of online banking via BDO. What's more, with PayMaya, you can conveniently track your purchases for a worry-free experience.

So what else are you waiting for? Download Pokemon GO, freenet, and PayMaya now!
