This was so long ago, that I don't know if it is still relevant today. But I remember for some reason I wanted to or had to buy a sim card and get load as I exited the airport (can't remember, but probably because I wanted to update a girl or girls I was meeting so that they could get on there way and we could meet faster as opposed to getting to the hotel and then buying my sim and texting the girl (s). Could save me a few hours). I purchased the sim and the remainder of 1000 pesos for load, figuring that it should last me a good part of a week and I could always add load later. Had them install it and add the load, he showed me the balance of 900 something load and I paid him and left. After a couple of days I ran out of load? I know I was texting a lot of girls, but still that was a bit fast. Did some research and found out that when texting different networks, it cost more but at that time it still wouldn't have burned up my load. Also found out that there are sim cards that people sell that steal load. Possible. Came to the conclusion that they sold me load that had a short life (cheaper for them to buy) so my load expired before I used them.

This a post from Manila thread.

The issue with your load is that you were on a casual plan. Your phone is using load just on data pings. The only way to use a prepaid mobile in Philippines is on a "promo".

I only know Globe promos, I suggest something like GOTSCOMBODD90 which you text to 8080.

This text and data promo comes with 2 GB mobile data and texts to all networks valid for 7 days (1 week) – for 90 pesos.

I was recently denied entry at Manila airport for being on the blacklist. I was given no explanation or reason and I left on the next flight out. I have no idea how I got on the list as I have no criminal background, never broke any laws during my previous trips and have no problems entering other countries. The only thing I can think of is one of my long term girls that I have cut off recently making some false reports to authorities. Some of those girls probably have my info because I have taken them on trips abroad and in some cases I had to sign forms at immigration to get them out. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer that can help me with this? Is it even fixable? Or should I just forget about Philippines? Thanks in advance for any help.

It is fixable at great cost. Nevertheless, why bother? The Flips have make it quite clear that you are unwelcomed in the Philippines. There are worst things than being banned from Cheap Pussy Paradise. Going through the trouble of begging and bribing your way in just for the privilege of paying for cheap Flip puss does not make sense. Whatever charges your ex fuck toy made against you could possibly land you in a Flip jail indefinitely as you await trial in a corrupt judicial system. The immigration officials actually did you a favor when they denied you entry into their jurisdiction. Just take your cock to some other low budget mongering destination. In the future, do not get into relationships with the paid pussy, and keep your identity to yourself. You can still get into Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. Just do not aggravate the pussy in those countries to the point that they blacklist you too.

Sad to hear that but your reasoning could be logically possible as they can file some complaint with the police and then go to the BI. Not care if true just they are pinay and they must be right etc. I know others threatened with the same and no reason was given to them at the airport.

Plenty lawyers around but many have the habit of charging high and doing zero. And you won't find out until you have paid a lot beforehand!

But PM me I know a good one who represents old Manila friends assuming you want to go that that route, he has helped a few old friends in the past including me.

Westies. The 6 month PP rule applies to many countries and if taking a pinay out of the Philippines it is the first thing I ask her. As for US customs not knowing the rules. No surprises there LOL. Some ask and you cans how a return 'ticket' that you buy for around $10 but depends on the airline and how much sophistication the system at check in has. Many I know use this method with the budget airlines whose staff will accept a paper ticket and can't look up the booking but on bigger carriers am not too sure.

Also 2 x in the last year a check-in agent (once in US, once in Asia) swiped my PP, took a long look at the computer screen, and informed me that I could not board the outbound flight from US to Phils. Reason: There was no return flight listed on their computer (no phils outbound), and I did not have a pre-approved 59-day visa (their computers caught this)

Home airports may also deny boarding if you have Residency or Citizenship documents that do not appear official or are not translated. When in doubt make life as easy and as simple as possible for airline and immigration personnel and don't rely in their knowledge of the fine points of legislation.

Interesting. Is there a way one can find out before boarding the inbound flight is he is blacklisted as such?

I am aware (starting about 1 year ago) that the US outbound airlines might try and stop you from boarding if there might be an issue (they are responsible for returning you from Phils to your starting point if you get the boot). For example, if your PP is near the end of its expiry, and within the 6-month limit for Phils, you might be denied boarding in the US (because the airline is responsible for your deport / return). Also 2 x in the last year a check-in agent (once in US, once in Asia) swiped my PP, took a long look at the computer screen, and informed me that I could not board the outbound flight from US to Phils. Reason: There was no return flight listed on their computer (no phils outbound), and I did not have a pre-approved 59-day visa (their computers caught this). In reality I had outbound flights on other airlines, but past the 30- and 59-day limits. Both agents told me I could not proceed. The first agent, in the US, worked for a major American airline. I mentioned to her that Americans can stay up to one year by repeatedly extending the original 30-day visa to 59-day visas. "Not. Must have a 59-day visa for that". I showed her the (much) later phils outbound ticket on the other airline. "Sorry. You can't board. I am Filipina and I know my country's Immigration laws". She had the look and accent. Well, musta mahal. I asked her to call a supervisor and look thru the Phils Immigration rules. She did just that. She and the super took more than 5 minutes reading the regulations, and they found it. "Aha. There is exception for Americans. Did not know that. You may proceed sir. ". At another airport in Asia I ran into the same thing; had to call a supervisor to help find the correct Immigration rule. Should have asked them for a screen capture of it. In both instances, their computers red-flagged the issue to start.

If computers are this sophisticated, why didn't the airline's system flag something?

Good catch. I wanted to quote but the quote was from the Manila forum where they were jabbering about Globe and sim cards, which should be in the General Info section IMO.
So I went to the General Info and grabbed your post JUST TO USE THE QUOTE TEXT (and brackets etc) so it would show up as a quote. Sorry, I didn't realize it referred to the post!

Next time just click on 'Reply with quote' in the Manila forum, copy the entire text of the post (including the brackets etc), go to the General Info forum, click 'Add Report' and paste the copied text.

[Free2]

How did you manage to quote me saying something I didn't say Free2??

I have lived here for 21 years. I don't buy load. I have post-paid accounts and have had them for 20 years with Globe.

When I click on "view original post" in your quote I am taken to my quote about Cebu being dead and nothing about buying 100 php load cards?

Weird stuff.

That works really well if you visit often.

Check the expiration date on the back of the load card.

Usually the smaller denominations have a shorter life span.

Also depending on where you purchase your load card, check the expiration date before you buy it.

All prepaid load now has a validity of 12 months regardless of value. I'm pretty sure that's from activation on a phone rather than manufacture date of the plastic card. I'd expect cards issued at the telco kiosks to be very fresh but yes, in remote areas, it is something to watch for. Previously it could be as low as a couple of days for low value top ups.

Girls will often ask what network you are on and give you the corresponding number as, depending on what package you / they are using calls and SMS across networks can be significantly more expensive than intranetwork. SMS on the same network are typically only free or 1 p each. Larger packages do offer free SMS to all networks.

Some things to watch out for: girls love to chat so a meaningless SMS conversation can eat low value load if you are not aware of your pricing; it's very easy to send load to another phone so if a girl is using yours she could be sending your load to hers quite quickly without your knowledge. A.

Generally I've found I use SMS less and less as chat apps like WhatsApp etc become more popular.

Enjoy. G.

Westie you love to make things hard for yourself pun intended! Go to the Asia page as Albert says. I use this method is simple and fast LOL.

Vivastreet, Locanto, Massage Republic if you are loaded.

Do simple Google searches. Escort - Manila. Etc and theyy will pop up.

[Transporter]

Ye I am behind the times but I am preparing again, what system is used now CL is gone? Where do I find the freaks?

It is the digital world, everything has moved underground.

Damn good idea!

It is much easier to just add load via the internet a day or so before you travel. Depending upon which service you use, it may cost a little bit extra for the convenience, but it is worth it. It has been many years since I have physically purchased load, as it is much more convenient for me to just add from my laptop or phone.

What is important to remember is to avail the promo, otherwise your load will disappear fast.

[Free2]

As a regular visitor I purchase a P100 load card when I leave the country. I then use that card wen I next arrive in country.

Damn good idea!

[Red Kilt]

Your and Albert's way are no fewer clicks than mine. Alternate method for those regular visits: Bookmark it once you find it.

Cebu is dead anyway so the thread is only representative of the current scene.
