If you are a GSAT Satellite TV subscriber, you might be interested to know how to load your GSAT account using GCash. Maybe you can’t buy a prepaid card or purchasing one is too much of a hassle for you. Fortunately, you can easily load GSAT and GPinoy using GCash on your mobile phone so that you don’t have to go to the store to buy a prepaid card.

GSAT (Global Satellite) is a direct-to-home satellite television provider in the Philippines with more than 200 local and international channels, including HBO, CNN, National Geographic, History Channel, Discovery, Cartoon Network, and many more. GSAT is a viable alternative to cable TV because it doesn’t require a coaxial or fiber-optic cable connection, instead relying on a satellite TV dish that is usually placed on the rooftop of your house or building.

To watch GSAT, users must have an active subscription plan which can be purchased online on their website or through prepaid cards that can be bought from authorized dealers. A more convenient option is to load your GSAT or GPinoy account using GCash. This involves purchasing load credits on the GCash app and then redeeming the load on the web loading portal.

In this article, I’ll teach you how to load GSAT or GPinoy using GCash by purchasing an electronic PIN on the GCash app and then redeeming it on the web loading portal. Make sure that you already know your GSAT box number because you’ll need it to redeem your PIN. You don’t need the box number, however, to buy load credits on the GCash app.

Step 6: If payment is successful, GCash will send you two text messages: one informing you of the successful load transaction, and another one with your GSAT PIN.

It might take a few minutes for the text messages to arrive, so don’t worry if you haven’t received your PIN yet. If you didn’t receive the PIN after an hour, you may call the GCash hotline 2882 or email [email protected].

Once you’ve received your PIN, the next thing to do is to redeem it so that it will be credited to your GSAT account. Continue reading to learn how to redeem your load.

How to Redeem Your GSAT PIN

There are two ways to redeem your GSAT PIN and reload your box: through the web loading portal and via SMS.

How to Redeem GSAT PIN Using the Web Loading Portal

The GSAT web loading portal is a self-service online loading platform that allows you to redeem your purchased load credits and load them to your GSAT or GPinoy account.

Here are the steps to redeem your load on the web loading portal:

  1. Open the web loading portal.
  2. Enter the following required information:
    • Box No. – Enter your GSAT box number or serial number.
    • PIN – Enter the PIN that was sent to you via text message after purchasing it on GCash.
  3. Check the captcha box (“I’m not a robot”).
  4. Click “Submit.”

How to Know Your GSAT Box Number

You can find your GSAT box number by looking at the bottom of the green set-top box. The box number is 12 or 16 digits long and is usually indicated by the letters SN (which stands for serial number).

  • GPinoy – Begins with 77405370.
  • GSAT – Begins with 77405371 or 018 or 025.

You can also find your box number by pressing the “INFO” button on your remote control.

How to Refresh Your GSAT Box

Do you have load but you’re always encountering a “no access” or “no authorization” error? Then refresh your GSAT or GPinoy box to solve the issue. You can refresh your box on the GSAT website or via SMS.

To refresh your GSAT/GPinoy box, type a text message in the following format: REFRESH<space>BOX NUMBER.

For example: REFRESH 7740537123456789.

Send the text message to 46814769 (for Smart subscribers) or 09191604728 (for non-Smart users).

Note: Make sure that your GSAT/GPinoy box and TV are turned on before attempting to refresh your box.
