Yes. I have my phone from Philippines and im using it for texting. I bought Smart OFW pinoy sim before i left PI.

I have two cellphones now, my US phone, and PI phone. I text my friends in PI via my US phone (Metro PCS) because its free and they reply on my PI phone for just 1 peso. a cheap way of communication. :thumbs:

It is better to use US phone with a phone card to call PI because it is cheaper.

I have been VERY pleased with Startec...

http://www.startec.com/US/EN/default.jsp

NO connection charge, and 16.9c min. to the cell with 11.9c min. to land-line. Here's my Feb. tracking so far. We've been using a lot of YM, so that's why the durations are limited, LOL..

That last one is from my cell-phone, which bills directly to my home line. Pretty slick. Of course, I still pay the per-minute cell charge as usual, in addition to their's.

Moving on w/life

we use vonage and it is only $24.50 + tax. the good thing about it is it is UNLIMITED CALL to our house in the PI :thumbs: your house in PI should have DSL connection though.
