Nowhere is texting as popular as in the Philippines. Filipinos are equipped with an array of mobile phones, from the oldest and cheapest ones to the newest models in the world market. Because making phone calls is relatively expensive, people use mobile and online text services to communicate.
The most common way of charging minutes is to purchase minutes from loading stations, which are phone company representatives or local vendors. Loading stations may range from the humblest kiosks to modern stores inside the biggest malls. Every peso will get you a certain number of loaded minutes. Some loaders send minutes directly to your phone via text.
Locals call the process "Pasa-Load", which means Pass a Load. People purchase minutes and then sell off little amounts and send it to your phone.
For some reason, text messaging is such a big hit among the young people. Most young people in major Philippine cities would rather purchase minutes than anything else, just to be able to send a few text messages to friends. The loaders take advantage of the young market by selling small amounts of load.
Four major telecommunication companies also sell prepaid phone cards loaded with minutes from PHP100 to PHP1000. The four big communications companies Smart, Globe, Sun and Talk and Text provide these prepaid cards.
You can get these cards everywhere, from kiosks to malls. The third and newest method for charging mobile phone minutes is through an online loading service. Morbie.com is the biggest service of this nature in the Philippines. Part of the reason why this is such a popular site is that it allows you to send minutes to any mobile number in the Philippines at any time. This service is very fast and easy to use. You also have the option to use Philippine pesos or American dollars. These minutes can be loaded onto a phone on any network and you do not need to specify. In the Philippines, mobile numbers start with a code that identifies the network that the number is registered with. Thankfully, morbie.com also knows these codes. Mobile phone numbers in the Philippine begin with the country code 63, followed by the three numbers that correspond to the telephone companies, and then the mobile number. The last step is to add to the Morbie shopping cart and check out. With the click of a button you can send minutes to anyone in the country. You will receive a text confirming your purchase.
