Extending the Life

Today, my prepaid load was scheduled to expire. That is one of the problems of prepaid subscribers like me, here in my country - the load has an expiry. They had already lengthened it but because I am not using it that much, most of the time, my load still expires.
Since I know that my load will expire, I had to extend its life. I have to risk some to extend most of my load. I shared my load to my other number the other day, and yesterday, I sent it back to my main number. And in doing so, I had extended it to 45 more days.
Another way is by loading new prepaid credits, but I don't want more load, so sharing it to my other number is the best way for me.
Are you a postpaid or a prepaid subscriber? Does your prepaid load also has an expiry?

@Lucky15 yes! They didn't get it back unlike before when the sender texted me and I sent it back.

Globe.. and I sent it to my TM and also got it back.
Do you know why I have lots of load this month? I received P150 from an unknown sender.

I did not know that sharing will extend your load expiry. I have lost twice Globe loads of more than a thousand each because I forgot to add new load on expiry day. One time, I think I lost P1,700 and the next was over a thousand. I don't use my Globe very often because it's only a back-up.

Awwwww! You should have sent it to me. Then I will send it back to you. Lol! But they have a maximum amount that can be shared per day, and 150 per transaction.

Plan zero? Hmm I didn't know they have that. So how does that work? How much do you pay per month on the average?

Yup, I do this with my regular load. I don't usually subscribe to promos because I don't usually call and text. I can't maximize it too.

Prepaid subscriber here (I don't call and text much, so I don't have use for a postpaid subscription). I haven't done what you're doing. That's an interesting trick.

@brokenbee I see! I have a monthly plan and they take the amount from my credit card. I find that convenient.

Which one? The prepaid load? Oh, it's for my mobile phone. I am extending the life of my prepaid load so that I can still use it for a few more weeks. If not, it will expire and I need to load up again.

I use a prepaid load, just enough, and just like you, I share it with my son or my husband, then I'll get it again.

Hihi yup! I also load just enough but this time, I have a lot left because I received a P150 load from an unknown sender and didn't get it back.
