Philippines Latest Smart Phone Card APP Storage Method

Friends who have been to the Philippines all know that the Philippine phone card storage operation is still in a relatively backward state, far less convenient than the domestic phone recharge.

If you want to use the local SIM card to make phone calls or surf the Internet in the Philippines, you usually need to go to the mall to buy a stored value card, then manually scratch the password on the card, enter the password, and finally obtain a series of complicated operations such as the stored value of the phone.

In 2022, Smart, one of the three major telecommunications companies in the Philippines, launched the App stored value function. We foreigners can use the App and credit card payment to store value online, eliminating the need to go to the mall again. At present, many people also report that Smart's network speed is faster than before.

* Three major Philippine telecommunications companies: Globe, Smart, Sun

Among them, Sun's cost is relatively cheap, but the signal is poor, which is suitable for those who need to make long-distance calls frequently. Globe and Smart have slightly better signals. But for those of us who are used to high-speed networks, the local signal and network speed are still quite poor, and students who are new to the Philippines will feel a big gap at first.
