I phoned up my mobile phone provider today to ask if I can use my mobile to make calls in the Philippines.
This is how the conversation went.
ME : Hi, can you tell me, am I able to make calls in the Philippines with my mobile?
HIM : Huh? Can you repeat that.
ME : Am I able to make calls in the Philippines with my mobile?
HIM : The Philippines....erm....give me a minute!
A short pause
HIM : What country is the Philippines in?
ME : The Philippines IS a country!!!
HIM : OK, give me a minute
A longer pause
HIM : err.....can't seem to find it on my list
ME : Try looking under 'P' or 'T'
HIM : OK, give me a minute
An even longer pause
HIM : Puerto Rico, Poland....hmmm....it doesn't look like The Philippines is on here
ME : Have you looked under 'T'
HIM : Yes
ME : OK, thanks for your time!
When I got home I decided to give them another ring and lo and behold I got my answer in about 30 seconds. I can use my mobile in the Philippines no problem.
