is it for roaming services? so her friends and relatives can send her text message for only P1.00? i actually have no idea how to reload online. When i was abroad, i activated my roaming (smart #) 1 hour before my flight and my mother would just load it every 2 months to keep it active.. you can visit smart website for more infos.

Its just a piece of cake Abby. Just ask her family to load her up from a loading station here in the Philippines and the load will be delivered to her cel number. No online purchase or whatsover.

What happen to her Globe number? that was the number Sheryl was using to SMS me.

I bought a Smart Buddy card while I was there and turned on roaming before I left. It was my understanding that IT would receive incoming texts for free forever whether loaded or not? Am I wrong? AT&T only charges me .10 cents per txt to her so I receive on the Smart and send on my cell account. If I need to load though, I'd just ask her to send some of hers to my phone. They do that with eachother there all the time. I'd load mine, she'd steal it..LOL If ur already sending the family money, that would be the easiest way. They load their phone and send her some of it :D
