texting the philippines

[bornatbirth]

i can use the globe/smart card on my phone here in the uk.surely this is the cheapest and easiest way?
i know texting me there is only 1 peso for her and texting me here is 30 peso,which is odd way its so cheap?she will only get withdraw symptoms if she cant talk to me or text me everyday.

it is cheaper for you to text from your uk phone. & her to send to your roaming phone.

calling,- the best way is to use an 0871 number i think

really it gets to a stage where saving an extra penny/peso becomes to much hassle
