I might try Smart and see how I go. I do try to use the hotel WIFI whenever possible, but I'm mainly in MNL, CEB for business prior to having a bit of fun elsewhere and rely on the the laptop for that, but the hotel WIFI is generally hit and miss.
When I do revert to the phone as a back-up, it's been pretty shitty with Globe. Thankfully I don't really have to call people back at home while I'm away as I correspond via email for business and make up some bullshit about the time difference. And as for family, I only have my old man left.
I use WhatsApp to keep in touch with all my girls / contacts in the PH. Thanks for the info on landlines for business with Google Voice. I'll look into it for sure.
Much appreciated. Phil.

I don't make any ISD calls. Everyone I call back home has WhatsApp which only uses data and often hotel WiFi rather than load. The few family that don't have WhatsApp know that I'll be away and don't expect a call for a while. If you're calling landlines for business, there are a few apps that can do this eg Google Voice.
Cheers. G.

I use smart. Smart has an eSim you can buy but it needs to be activated in country you can complete the registration after you activate the sim and use the smart app on the app store to top up your load with a credit card.
Buy the sim here 99 p - https://store1.smart.com.ph/view/2661/.
Buy the promo here - 48 gb for 749 - https://store1.smart.com.ph/addons/.
The Magic Data never expires which is why I go this route however you need to add load periodically to keep the sim active which is the fine print.
In country you can load "All Net 299" which will give you unlimited text and talk which should cover a 30 day trip for 1147 php about $20 USD and mostly likely you won't spend all that data but I like to have that data as insurance.

Posts: 225Sim Cards
Hi guys,
Hope this is the right thread to post.
Every trip, I've had lots of hassles with Globe sim cards.
(Rather than paying expensive international roaming charges, I generally buy a sim card for a spare phone that I just use in the PH and for whatsapp).
Any advice on alternatives and experiences would be appreciated.
Phil.

I guess Qatar has so many direct flights that guys don't need to transit in Dubai etc so there is no point in the girls going there to wait for them.

I'm not aware of any world wide hooker shortage. 😜.

Posts: 3580I know a few attractive girls who seem to "holiday" quite frequently in Dubai, either though sponsored or self funded trips. However, I've noticed that none are over there now to make the most of World Cup opportunities. I thought every hooker with a passport would have made her way across but that doesn't seem to be the case. Surely it's a target rich environment either in Qatar or some of the transit counties.
Anyone have any ideas why?
