    I was there 4 months ago and miss it so much and I am not even from there, Canada has been my home for many years but I can't wait to move to the Philippines this year. The warmth I felt, from the people and the weather was just too inviting!

    Globe and Smart have on par coverage with each other. But for speed, I recommend a Smart SIM card! (Since my phone is dual sim, I have both. Best of both worlds 😂)

    Are you discussing buying a physical SIM card or an eSIM card? eSIMs are fine for data only but as I understand it, you need a physical SIM card in order to make local calls and do texting. Many of us will need to make local calls and do SMS texting once we're there. Thanks.

    • @ERIKsONLINE

      Yes Airalo doesn't give you a local number. Buy an esim online from globe or smart for cheap

  • @Jamescraigjohnson
    @Jamescraigjohnson Рік тому +3

    You used to be able to buy a sim card anywhere and pay local rates. Now you can't, you have to register a local sim card with a local ID. Local Sim cards are about 40P and you can but cheap data. As for Globe vs. Smart, it really depends on where you are. It has gotten a bit better over the years but they both will have dead spots in The Philippines. Lots of locals have dual sim phones with a sim from both companies.

    Just a question. does the simcard you buy in the airport are already registered simcard?
    or you need to register them after buying it? if so how long do you have to wait for its activation?

    lol lol lol lol WHY buy a 1500php sim card at the Airport when you can get one ANYWHERE outside of the Airport for 100php. Use the FREE wifi at the Airport to get a "Grab" car. Then get a sim card from a 7-11 or wherever near where you are staying. DO NOT use the ATM, Money Exchanger(if you must only get min amount), or get a SIM card at the Airport. BIG RIP off! Wait until you are in town.
