Has anyone got SMART’s Plug ‘N Talk yet? Basically it's a VOIP client that comes with a USB stick that takes a SIM card. The text prices are only P1 or P2 and though the call rates to Philppines phones are not the lowest I've seen they are not that bad - would be a lot better if the pound was stronger

The nice things about it is it free to receive calls (guess it's normal Philippines mobile rates to call), you can load it online, and it does support Pasaload.

I'm tempted to buy one when we're out in the Philippines over Easter
