okey........... pwede ako magtagalog dito for filipino users lang naman di ba
para sakin SUN CELL for its unli tawag ang saya basta't may barya kang load makakatawag ka ng walang humpay
it will help you to stay in touch with your friends and family
and make new friends too as well as new enemies(yung mga mahilig mag frank calls) hehehe

Hello, my dear, who told you you can use Tagalog here? You're right, SUN CELL is good but only if your barkadas use the same cell. I know it's easy to get all the simcard you want in the Philippines. But the thing is nobody really wants to stay in one sim forever.
By the way, welcome to mylot and hope you get more cents here in the near future.

all of the above mentions sims except suncel i don't have it...because it is not available in rural areas...i used 4 cellphones everyday with different simcards...i don't have favorite among them...i am a dealer of smart and sub-dealer of globe...all of them are beneficial to my business...every individual have their own reason why they used that simcards and why they are connected on that network...no need to argue.

At first I was using Globe, then our company gave me a mobile phone with Smart SIM in it and free monthly load. So I switched to Smart ever since. As for the best, if Sun Cellular can widen its coverage, I'll like SunCel because of its unlimited talk and text to fellow SunCel.

I use my Smart sim most of the time. The smart sim is for my friends and family while the globe sim is for my business and the sun is just for me and my husband. We use sun cellular when my husband is away from home. The sun cellular call is unlimited so we talk and update each other more often.

Globe would be the best for me. It has a lot of features that other telecommunication company don't and most of my friends used globe. Sun would be great to because of its unlimited texting and unlimited call feature but their service still need a lot of improvement. It's less reliable compare to Globe especially when you're in an emergency

hi palawena!
well, i had been a subscriber of Smart for the last 4 or 5 years. i have a subscription plan. and it works very well for me. every two years, i get a new free phone from smart. so i think it is worth it. and i don't scrimp on text and calls. and my text and calls come out cheaper.
so i think it is cool. i prefer smart, even though in church, every one else has globe. hehe
take care and God bless you!

I don't know which is the best but my bet always goes to Globe and Smart. I've been a Globe subscriber ever since I first got my very first cellphone. Now our company provided me a cellphone with Smart SIM so now I have two cellphones with Globe and Smart SIM. But my wife and I have always wanted to try out Sun because of the cheaper rate and free call and text for all Sun subscribers. What's stopping us from switching to Sun because we are unsure if Sun has now a farther reach all over the Philippines.

I love Talk n' Text the best because of their Gaan Text promo. For only 10 pesos you can have 40 text to smart and Talk n' Text users, while you got another 5 to other networks. I am not a heavy texter, I only average 5 texts a day or 10 the most. So I don't like unlimited texts because it only last 24 hours. Whereas Gaan text sometimes lasts for three days for me. It's like spending 3 pesos per day. Also their Gaan Talk 10 minutes can be divided. Isn't it great?

I don't have a favourite per say about Subscriber Indentity Modules like what you have enumerated though, I currently have a Smart SIM. It has been my SIM for a long time and I don't really bother on getting a new SIM from another provider unless I have a new phone to put it into.

I say its globe although I am using Smart as most at home uses it. Smart is fine but it cheats. Whenever I put credit on it they would send me Logos and charge me for it. I phoned up Smart and it was the worst service I have had. Complaining about these charged logos and credits gone that I don't know how, they were like trying to tell me that it was me to deal with it and don't care for what ever Im experiencing with their network.. BAD SERVICE..

Well, I have two SIMs, the smart sim is my main sim since I have incororated everything in it, my mobile banking, smart money, and all my contacts. Basically I also do mobile internet with my smart sim as well as pay bills through smart money and load credits. The Globe sim is my back up sim. I conduct lecture on first aid and emergency courses to different places. In some instances, I also found some places in the Philippines where smart has no coverage but globe has. So in cases like this, I use the globe sim to keep in touch!

I think it depends on the person on what he really likes. If you are on a budget and you text and call often you could save more if you use sun. But if you want quality you could use smart or globe. I think using smart is much cheaper than globe. I also use smart because i have been using it for a very long time already and i dont like changing numbers again and informing my friends of my new number, i think it is really a hassle doing so..
