mobile phone package

so much choice there , just dont rush into the first deal, get the best phone for the price and use another service for calling the phils, we use rebtel, it users the spare free minutes and it works for us, as long as your free minutes can call the 020 numbers, good luck

I have a Smart roaming sim card from Phils (bought as part of a pack of 3) and keep it in my cheapo basic nokia phone, it costs my wife 1 peso to sms me. I then use an Orange Camel PAYG sim which I then can call her back and chat. I still use my contract Orange phone to sms her back, which is probably not such a good way to do it, but I still do anyway.
Alternatively, get her a smart phone with yahoo messenger on it and she can text talk for free on the internet. But like Steve says, there are so many ways that we all do it, take your pick.
