- Wikipedia
- Inquirer
- PhilStar
- Interaksyon
- Rappler
- ESPN
- SPIN.PH

Aside from the free web access to the sites, people will be able to connect to the basic services of Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
Users can download the free Internet.org app on the Google Play Store. Alternatively, you can simply text INTERNET 9999 using any Sun, Smart or Talk ‘N Text SIM card.
