Overdosing your girlfriend on Oral Contraceptive pill is NOT a safe option for early pregnancy termination.
AV[/QUOTE]Offcourse you should not try to end an abortion by overdosing with Oral Contraceptive pill. You should not do anything you dont know about I think i have made it very clear. You must get the poper info and a very good source is that webpage u just gave the link to thats why ive posted that link 2 times allready.

SIM Cards
[QUOTE=X Man]How and when does a SIM card expire?
I have one card that I forgot to bring on my last trip, so it hasn't had a load in about a year.[/QUOTE]
Most SIM cards expire after six months but I have had them expire after only a few months so your old card is probably history.
It is very important for me to keep the same number so after a month or two I will reload it using Chikka or Pasaload.
A while back, I used an old Nokia which only had room for thirty text messages. Before I left the Phi. I would load the memory up so there would not be any room for incoming texts and have a text in limbo. Upon my return more then six months later the SIM card still worked!

I know there is a paid version requiring funds to operate but that money is to operate chikka. Im confused.

I think it is 3 month now.
Global changed it.
If most phone companies in Asia, if you don't charge your phone in 3 months it will be cancel.
SIM cards are so cheap, just buy a new one.
I go to Manila 2 times a year, and china 4 times a year.
I just buy a new one every time with a new number.
No big deal, just a monger phone to call the old girl friend and ISG members.

What I meant was that they will expire if there is no activity.
[QUOTE=Amavida]Um, how on earth do you reload a smart sim from chikka? I understand what chikka is.[/QUOTE]
You can send a load to any cp through Chikka Messenger.
Just set up an i$end e-wallet with payment via PayPal.

Regarding Smart, if you don't reload when your load expires, you then have 120 days to reload and keep the number active, otherwise you lose the number. So practically speaking, if you get a Smart sim, put 300 pesos of load on it and don't reload it again, the load will last 60 days and you get to keep the number going for another 120 days so in effect that sim is good for at least 180 days from purchase.
If you go overseas and turn on text roaming, you have to keep a minimum balance of 100 pesos in your sim in order to keep sending and receiving, in addition to the above parameters of activity.
Smart reload cards expire in about 6 months. Their expiration is printed on the back. When you use a sim card, the length of time the load will last depends on the amount purchased.

What smart tell you is not always correct in my experience. I have had smart sims last much longer.

I am overseas this week. I have a smart sim on roaming with 10 pesos load on it & am receiving txt's no problem.

The expiration on the sim card is for FIRST USE typically 12 months from purchase. If it is not activated by that date then its kaput. That is different to expiring in use. Yes load cards have finite periods just like prepaid cards all over the world, but the question was how long do sim cards last.

OK point taken, their website doesn't correlate with your field experience.
[quote=Amavida]I am overseas this week. I have a smart sim on roaming with 10 pesos load on it & am receiving txt's no problem.[/quote]
Sorry I should have made clear that a balance of 100 pesos was required for both sending and receiving during international roaming. At 10 pesos of load, yes you can still receive, but you cannot send until you get back into the Phils. Try it, you won't be able to. That I know for sure.

You will need to stand by her for the medical expenses which are beyond the average pinay's ability to pay & make sure to give her money to buy pain killers & iron supplements. She will be in pain & anaemic after she gets out of hospital. Their rice & a scrap of fish diet does not help anaemia.
All the best.

Smart SIMS
Have had a SMART number for past 7 years. Sometimes its up to 3-4 months before I go back to Phils. Number has always been fine.
Did notice in HK tho if my HK sim, can't remember brand, isn't used in 4 months then number is dead.
