If you really feel that way, perhaps you can find the perfect place where everything goes your way all the time.
Let us know when and if you find it.

BTW, one other important aspect. If your cp has dual sim? Yes duo as in 2 sims, then put your primary SIM in SIM 1 slot. SIM 1 will get the better connection like 4 g or LTE. SIM 2 will only get 3 g or 2 g in most cp.

Posts: 451The first thing I suspect is your phone. Or one of its settings. I am not sure if you got a new one or if you got the right bands.
Secondly, as other have said, it is simple. Most stores will be able to sort out the obvious. I suspect you should do a factory reset as you might have an used phone.
Third. Turn off sync on mobile data and sync only on wifi.
Four. I saw some ads for unlimited plans specials. Still pretty cheap if I recall.
Five. IMHO, a roaming SIM just ties you over when you land. A local prepaid gives you anonymity and the caller can call and text you locally. Cheaper for some of the gals who cannot afford data.
They are also less inclined to help you since you did not get the phone from them. As I mentioned before, the right phone makes your life easier and keeps those Kodak moments. The great thing about iPhones is that support is great if you walk into their store. They really do try to help you. It is nice. But you pay the price.

Go to the Globe Express lane in Ayala (Cebu) for example and ask a team member to show you how to insert the SIM and activate it.
LOL.
You think am joking. I have seen that more times than I care to remember and many get totally pissed off they take so much time when it is supposed to Express.

Posts: 3244SIM cards are pretty simple
In PH SIM cards are pretty easy to use.
1. Buy enough load for package.
2. Register for unli texting package, data and / or calls.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 again when package expires.

And have Data wherever I go. I have used it in 9 countries without a problem. Instead of describing the service here is a link. If you activate through the link you get a $20 discount.

But you ask a lot a questions and were in Gen San based on an earlier questions so we don't see anything on that visit in 2017? See the link in the relevant section and RTFF as it is all there if you have 15-30 minutes.

I'm planning some travels soon and don't seem to find much of anything about Cebu? Is there a special location here for a Cebu thread? Recommendations for hotels there are also appreciated, to too fancy, not sleezy. Thanks, Daz.

Posts: 192Phone service observations.
Plenty to not know when trying to get a cellphone to work here. After 2 weeks I am getting a little smarter. At the airport I loaded Smart sim and enough time and internet to cover my 3 weeks. Twice now I have been texted by smart that I am expired and the darn thing quit working. When I go to a 7/11 or similar and ask why this is happening I get blank stares and a "I don't know sir". One hotel CP "expert" told me I should have gotten Globe instead of Smart because Smart will randomly take load away from your phone. I don't really know the truth and it seems no one else that I have found does either. Just a caution to new arrivals, be prepared for a steep learning curve if your experience is like mine.
