INTRODUCTION:

Epson officially brought its EcoTank Monochrome series to the Philippines. Having different variants, the family is composed of the M1140, M2140, and M3170. All members are equipped with the brand’s PrecisionCore technology, allowing the said devices to have increased print resolutions, fast speeds, and improved productivity at an affordable price.

Luckily, our team got a chance to try the M1140– the series’ most basic model.

PHYSICAL:

Inside the box, we’re greeted with the M1140 unit, user guide, warranty card, software disc, free ink, detachable power source, and a high-speed USB cable.

Free bottle of black ink

As expected, Epson dressed it with a black-and-white color scheme, which looks very similar to its brothers. Its front panel comes with an Epson branding, too.

It is the smallest unit in the series, and it also has a light body. Having a compact design, users can easily lift it whenever they like to move it from one place to another, most especially when they opt to keep it inside the box when not in use.

However, our team decided to put it in one place as it won't occupy a large space in our room. We just noticed that its white body can easily attract dirt.

What we like about the most about its design is that we can effortlessly see the amount of our ink. It also allows users to refill it easily without spilling the ink. In addition, users will love its A4-paper input tray, wherein they can place up to 250 sheets for a more productive experience.

PERFORMANCE:

As the name suggests, the M1140 produces black-and-white outputs. Of course, Epson packed it with a free single bottle of black ink. And since it’s an ink tank printer, the device offers an affordable printing cost as users can print up to 6,000 pages in just one bottle of ink.

The brand also claimed that it has a top print speed of 20 ipm for simplex and 9.0 ipm for duplex. Printing documents, files, and photos were really fast during our tests, and we're also glad that it allows back-to-back printing.

Inside

In terms of quality, printing texts was never an issue. However, when printing images, we noticed that it’s not as sharp as expected. It’s still clean though. We’re also impressed that inks were dry enough even when printing a file that requires heavy amount of ink.

USB Port

Moreover, its USB connectivity allows us to use it as our personal printer, while we can also use it via wireless connection if we want to share it with others.

VERDICT:

The Epson EcoTank M1140 is a good printer at its price point. It is also perfect for consumers who want to save more bucks, as it offers affordable printing cost and fast print speed.

It is now available in the Philippines with 4 years or 50,000 pages of warranty, whichever comes first.

Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi device was introduced around the first half of 2017, and more than two years after its inception, Globe Telecom slashes 1000 pesos on its original SRP, making it more affordable for just Php999.

Moreover, the Globe Streamwatch Xtreme Prepaid is now only Php1,999 which's 3000 pesos discount from its original price tag of Php4,999.

These promos are part of our efforts in preparing our product offerings and technologies for higher data demands of Filipino families especially content streaming,” shared Winsley Bangit, VP at Globe at Home Prepaid.  “By giving more value to our device prices and data packages, we aim to connect and empower more Filipino homes with the high-quality Internet in an ever-increasingly digital world.

With no installation required, customers simply need to plug it, and top-up at any Globe reloading station to start surfing. Without monthly fees, consumers just have to reload the device and pay for the data they need. It also comes with 10GB free data upon purchase, so customers can surf instantly.

“We understand that our subscribers lead different lifestyles, so we’re offering more ways for them to enjoy our plans,” shares Martha Sazon, Senior Vice president of Globe At Home. “Our Globe Prepaid Home WiFi is perfect for those who do not want monthly fees, but still want to provide the best for their families.”
“Internet connection is becoming a necessity, and we’d like to offer the Globe Prepaid Home WiFi to everyone, regardless of budget and location,” says Sazon. “With this product we could bring home WiFi to more households,” she adds.

Below are some of the Globe's GoSURF promos:

GoSURF15 with 40MB of data, valid for two days
GoSURF50 with 1GB of data, valid for three days
GoSURF299 with 1.5GB of data, valid for 30 days
GoSURF599 with 4GB of data, valid for 30 days
GoSURF999 with 8GB of data, valid for 30 days

Globe advised users to place it in a central location at home, which is far from barriers such as thick walls and televisions. The company also noted that the placement of the WIFI device is essential to be able to maximize the connection.

Around November of 2017, Globe introduced the HomeSurf promos, which are as follows:

  • HomeSURF15 - 1GB data allocation valid for 1 day for only 15 pesos
  • HomeSURF199 - 5GB data allocation plus 7GB free for a total of 12GB valid for 7 days for only 199 pesos
  • HomeSURF599 - 15GB data allocation plus 25GB free for a total of 40GB valid for 15 days for only 599 pesos
  • HomeSURF999 - 30GB data allocation plus 35GB free for a total of 65GB valid for 30 days for only 999 pesos
  • HomeSURF1499 - 45GB data allocation plus 55GB free for a total of 100GB valid for 30 days for only 1499 pesos

With Globe At Home Prepaid Wifi, more Filipino homes can enjoy fast and reliable internet connection. The new HomeSURF promos let customers surf more – from social media to online videos – all at an affordable price,” Globe At Home SVP Martha Sazon said.

Take note that the new HomeSURF promos are exclusively available through Globe At Home app, while the HomeSURF15 is just an exclusive add-on to GoSURF50 and other HomeSURF promos and cannot be used as a standalone promo.

On August 17, 2018, Globe announced that all HomeSurf promos come with free access to video streaming apps and games.

In line with our thrust to deliver fast, reliable, and affordable home internet to more Filipinos, Globe At Home has partnered up with some of the most in-demand apps. We’re proud to offer free all-day internet access for videos and games through our partners so our customers can go home and enjoy their favorite shows and games right in the comfort of their own homes. Now all they have to do is plug, load, and surf,” Martha Sazon, Senior Vice President for Broadband Business of Globe, addressed.

The Globe GoSAKTO70 comes with 1GB of regular data that subscribers can use to access anything on the internet, 7GB (that is 1GB per day for 7 days) of free data for GoSHARE&SHOP plus GoWATCH&PLAY, and 1GB of GoWiFi access with the same 7 days validity. Moreover, it comes with unlimited texts to all networks and a free GCash Voucher.

For those uninitiated, the GoWATCH and GoPLAY free data can be used for YouTube, Netflix, iWant, Viu, iflix, NBA, HOOQ, ONE, Mobile Legends, Arena of Valor, Rules of Survival, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile. Meanwhile, the free data for GoSHARE and GoSHOP can be used for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Shopee, and Zalora. The free 1GB data per day for GoSHARE&SHOP plus GoWATCH&PLAY will refresh daily.

This may not look much for heavy users, but if you spend lots of your data on Facebook and Instagram as well as watching videos or playing online games, then this offer is a nice thing to have. You can use your 1GB open access data on other things, such as checking and receiving emails, browsing favorite websites, visiting other social media platforms, and communicating with friends and loved ones through online messaging apps like Viber, LINE, WhatsApp.

Meanwhile, if you need to call Globe or TM numbers, then GoSAKTO120 and GoSAKTO140 are the way to go. The former comes with 3GB regular data, 7GB of GoSHARE&SHOP and GoWATCH&PLAY, and 2GB GoWiFi for a total of 12GB plus unlimited all-net texts and unli calls to Globe and TM for only 120 pesos, while the latter is almost the same, but with 4GB open access data for a total of up to 13GB of data for only 140 pesos.

Globe Telecom bigger-than-ever GoSURF and GoSAKTO promos now come with additional more data for Globe Prepaid subscribers to enjoy more time watching videos online with their favorite streaming apps and play a lot more online games without worrying about overspending.

Globe GoSURF50 Now with 6GB of Data and Unli All Net Texts; Still for Only 50 Pesos

Globe Prepaid customers who register to GoSURF50 will have free 1GB of data daily for GoSHARE&SHOP, GoWATCH&PLAY or GoLIVE&DISCOVER, while those who will register to GoSURF299, GoSURF599, GoSURF999, GoSURF1299, GoSURF1999, and GoSURF2499, will have free 10GB of data for GoSHARE&SHOP, GoWATCH&PLAY or GoLIVE&DISCOVER with the same validity of the registered promo. All GoSURF promos also come with free 1GB GoWiFi access.

Meanwhile, those who will register to GOTSCOMBODD70, GOTSCOMBODD90, GoSAKTO70, GoSAKTO90, GoSAKTO120 or GoSAKTO140, will receive an additional 1GB of free data daily for GoSHARE&SHOP and GoWATCH&PLAY, with the same validity as their registered promo, as well as free 1GB or 2GB GoWiFi access depending on the promo.

This means that if you subscribe to this Go SURF 50 Globe Prepaid Promo, you will have a total of 5GB of data that you can consume within the validity period. That is 1GB of regular data + 1GB of GoWiFi Access + 3GB (1GB per day for 3 days) of free data for GoSHARE&SHOP, GoWATCH&PLAY or GoLIVE&DISCOVER depending on your choice.

If you are following our site, the Go SURF 50 comes with a total of 6GB of data before, meaning the total data now is 1GB lower than before. And, if you are wondering what was removed, it was the free 1GB for an app of your choice.

Previously, the GoSURF 50 also comes with FREE unlimited texts to all networks, which is quite great if your friends and family are on the Smart, TNT, or Sun. But, this time around, the Globe SoSURF page, https://www.globe.com.ph/prepaid/gosurf.html, does not show that. However, we tried sending SMS to Smart and SUN numbers, and both our texts were received on the other end.

The main difference of this offer on the previous one is that Globe Prepaid removed the free 2GB GoWATCH & PLAY of data. And, replaced it with 1GB of free data per day for GoSHARE&SHOP, GoWATCH&PLAY or GoLIVE&DISCOVER for GoSURF promos, or 1GB of free data per day for GoSHARE&SHOP + GoWATCH&PLAY for other promos. For us, this is a welcome change, because 1GB data per day means more, for example, the GoSURF50 now has a total of 5GB of data within the validity period.

There are a whole lot more to your streams and gameplays when you have bigger data. To be specific, here are the things that you can enjoy with your additional free 1GB of data daily:
  • GoWATCH and GoPLAY free data can be used for YouTube, Netflix, iWant, Viu, iflix, NBA, HOOQ, ONE, Mobile Legends, Arena of Valor, Rules of Survival, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile.

The data that will be consumed to access the above-mentioned apps, games, and sites will be deducted to the free 1GB data, while browsing the web and performing other things will count towards the regular MBs of your GoSURF or any of your GoSAKTO subscriptions.

“The digital Filipino youth has various passions and obsessions. As purveyors of the Filipino's digital lifestyle, Globe knows that they need access to a wide breadth of content in order to pursue these passions. Because of this, we're proud to offer additional GBs for customers to GoWATCH and PLAY for free on top their favorite Globe surfing promos.
