Arrived in Singapore without any problem, except that I was really very tired. Oh and ROAMING.. My phone was set to roam at the last minute. Last option actually because my SUN phone has not activated roaming yet.. Good thing I saw the roaming instruction at the NAIA while Honey and I were trying to move around in search for a free cellphone charging..
How to set your phone to roam:
SMART
type ROAM ON
send to 333
for prepaid make sure you have at least P 100 load to be able to do so..
roaming is automatic.. and I mean automatic, I did mine when the plane was almost taking off, engine and all..
GLOBE
type GROAM ON [Start Date] [No. of Days]
send to 2884
For example, if you want to activate your roaming on Decemberember 26, 2010 for ten days, then text GROAM ON 09/26/2005 10 send to 2884.
make sure that you have P100 balance before activating your International Roaming
maintain P100 daily load while abroad to ensure continuity of your roaming service
Note: You may request for roaming activation 7 days before departure or at least an hour before departure. Maximum number of days for activation is 180 days.
I was not able to set my globe to roam..
SUNCELLULAR
the customer service personnel we spoke with on their hotline said
type ROAM ON
send to 222
unfortunately, it didn't work..
my sister had to call the hotline again and again.. Anyway, it was indeed a good idea that I set the smart phone to roam, otherwise, my Tito and the guys would not have any way to reach me.. or me to reach them..
