No. GoWATCH MBs do not roll over.
I am a Globe Prepaid/TM customer. Can I use GS EXTEND or TM EXTEND5 to extend my GoWATCH MB expiry?
No, GoWATCH is not extendable. If you want to enjoy GoWATCH for a longer period, you may register to another GoWATCH promo. This will add up all your GoWATCH MBs and extend its validity to follow the longest expiry.
Are my GoWATCH MBs shareable?
GoWATCH MBs cannot be shared or donated to another user.
Is GoWATCH available in Share a Promo?

Why can't I access some videos on HOOQ/Netflix/Disney/Tribe/ Cartoon Network/ NBA/ iWanTV?
Some videos on these apps will require you to avail of a premium subscription. GoWATCH does not include premium subscriptions. You can buy premium access to an app/site of your choice by via *143# > Surfing.
On how many devices can I watch the videos?
Your GoWATCH MBs can only be consumed by the SIM you used to register to the promo. When you host a hotspot while others watch videos, you may end up consuming your GoSURF MBs or be charged the regular browsing rate. Using Chromecast or other similar devices to project to a larger screen is not recommended as this requires a higher resolution and may consume your MBs faster.
