hi Guys, I came from a family of OFW , my aunt is working in singapore, my mom is in belguim and some of my cousins are in dubai etc. etc. me and my mom thinking about sending gifts to our friends and family in the Philippines. so we think about electronic greeting cards, and many more including online top up of prepaid load, although I heard about this service before from my friend who works in Germany as a babysitter. So me and my mom give it a try. for the first time . lol. we tried first to top up prepaid load in a small amount bout 4 euro, 200 in php. so if ever theres something wrong. at least its only 200 pesos to try. surprisingly its really easy and very safe and secured. you can choose your prefer mode of payments. and your family will receive it the same time. have you ever try this kind of online service? share your experience with this.. here is the link of the prepaid load top up provider that i tried Didn't ask, didyah.com
I used a similar service several years ago when we were travelling away from the Philippines in one of the other Asian countries, I forget which one. I recall that the website was very basic, and looked distinctly home made, but one of her friends had recommended it to her. Within a few minutes of placing the order I received a personal e-mail checking that the details were correct, and shortly afterwards the load was credited to her phone. I got the impression that I was dealing with one guy sitting at his home PC and running out to the sari sari store to buy load.
Cut to a cafe. All the customers are Vikings. Mr and Mrs Bun enter - downwards (on wires) Mr Bun: Morning Waitress: Morning Mr Bun: What have you got, then? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam; or Lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a mornay sauce garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. Mrs Bun: Have you got anything without spam in it? Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it. Mrs Bun: I don't want ANY spam! Mr Bun: Why can't she have egg, bacon, spam and sausage? Mrs Bun: That's got spam in it! Mr Bun: Not as much as spam, egg, sausage and spam. Mrs Bun: Look, could I have egg, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam. Waitress: Uuuuuuggggh! Mrs Bun: What d'you mean uuugggh! I don't like spam Vikings(singing): Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam ... spam, spam, spam, spam ... lovely spam, wonderful spam ... Brief stock shot of a Viking ship. Waitress: Shut up. Shut up! Shut up!

Hungarian: Great boobies, honeybun, my lower intestine is full of spam, egg, spam, bacon, spam, tomato, spam ... Vikings(starting up again): Spam, spam, spam, spam ... Waitress: Shut up A policeman rushes in and bundles the Hungarian out. Hungarian: My nipples explode... Cut to a historian. SUPERIMPOSED CAPTION: 'A HISTORIAN' Historian: Another great Viking victory was at the Green Midget cafe at Bromley. Once again the Viking strategy was the same. They sailed from these fiords here,(indicating a map with arrows on it) assembled at Trondheim and waited for the strong north-easterly winds to blow their oaken galleys to England whence they sailed on May 23rd. Once in Bromley they assembled in the Green Midget cafe and spam selecting a spam particular spam item from the spam menu would spam, spam, spam, spam, spam ... The backdrop behind him rises to reveal the cafe again, The Vikings start singing again and the historian conducts them Vikings(singing): Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam. Lovely spam wonderful spam ... Mr and Mrs Bun rise slowly in the air
Only a single link, and non referral, though it is a first post. I thought that new users were not allowed to post links, or is that another board... Might be a good idea to remove the link anyway.
Sorry kuya for posting a link. I thought it would be okay if i share things that might be helpful spacially those for the filipino not gonna happened again.
what i tried is prepaid union and its never disappoint me. very basic steps.. then they have very nice filipino chat support on their website
Very simple solution; use World Remit's "airtime" function. Yes, you can use it from within the Philippines. It even works reliably with the dreaded Globe Pocket Wifi, which can be hard to "load" at a sari sari store. For the sake of good order, I have no connection with World Remit.
Yep we have used both in uk and when in phills and works very well and the load the times we used was on the persons phone or pocket wifi in minutes.
