Posts: 28New Entry Requirements To Enter The Philippines
Gentlemen: I'm not an avid poster here but appreciate all of the great reports! I'm trying to confirm some information my lady friend just sent me in Manila. I just received it Friday, May 27th here in the USA. Late afternoon! She said GMA. A Philippine TV station mentioned EFFECTIVE June 1st. NO MORE COVID TEST REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER THE PHILIPPINES.. IF.. IF.. YOU HAVE YOUR BOOSTER SHOTS! Can someone confirm this? This isn't a joke. I just want to confirm any changes as I'm arriving in early June. I did just check. Website and no info there yet! I hope this is true and I hope this is helpful to others!

Posts: 451I actually have / had multiple phones / numbers and would forward calls to my local phone / SIM. Better to leave your primary phone in the safe, especially if it is expensive one.
I am not sure if the good old days of easy travel will return. In the current climate, one of the reasons you could be nabbed or movement restricted is Covid. If you are far from your hotel and cannot get back if a lockdown / quarantine happens, it is better to have your good phone and SIMs with you. So far doesn't happen in Philippines.

Posts: 451Are you using an e Sim with Verizon? Check the menu, you should be able to software disable a SIM if using multiple SIMS. You can always test in the US with a cheap prepaid Sim or borrow a SIM from a willing friend.
Always check the SIM status if roaming, especially if you have multiple SIMS. I had cases in the past where my SIM selection would change randomly. Had a couple cases where I got charged for receiving SMS at exhorbitant rates in Europe.
As for calls and data, you need to set in your menu. Verizon might allow you to disable international roaming or calls but I don't recommend it.

I put my Au phone to a separate phone which stays in my room.
I put the local sim into my main phone. I use the data for my usual apps like Whatsapp, which retain my Au number.

But generally I prefer to remove the national one and keep only the locally brought one mainly to avoid any mistakes.

Posts: 333New President
I wondered why nobody here is talking about the recent elections.
Marcos jr. Will be the new President and he is a lapdog of Mr. Xi.
Times will change for us.
We should enjoy the phills now. It will change soon.

Posts: 102SIM cards with local number, and using my Verizon iPhone from the US?

Somehow that seems too easy.

As for ATM use Bank ATM at the Mall in Angeles just outside the bank. It is safe. When in Manila use China bank ATM. They can be found in the malls as well.
