I checked it out too and definitely it requires a request to confirm on email. No mobile phone numbers were mentioned at all.

I don't understand his problem.

Ok not sure what the problem was with my registration either. I tried again today and it did not require me to register via text message to cell. It finally allowed me to use my email code and log on.

Sorry for the questions but thats what the site was telling me.

I'm a dia member now.

Thanks for the assistance!

i created a new DIA profile for a freind on my laptop and (for the first time) it asked for this TXT code . Maybe it checks if there have been previous profiles opened on that computer/IP address and only sends the message asking for SMS clearance in suspicious cases??

Hi I will soon need a 3rd visa renewal. For my second one i had to pay an additional charge of $50 for an electronic ID or something. But i never had chance to pick it up in Cebu. now I am in Puerto Princesa. Does anyone knows whether , because I haventg picked it up they are going to charge me again.

I think these things were only introduced recently *(as yet another way of scamming tourists re visas) Does anyone know exactly what they are, what they look like, How long they might hold it at the Cebu immigration office etc?

My understanding is that this is your ACR card which is now required with the first 59 day extension (not the 21 to 59 day). The card is supposed to be good for a year. Not all offices are able to issue you this card, but they are charging you for it. The advice I've seen elsewhere says to hang on to your receipts, especially the one that mentions the expense for the card so that you can show you've already paid for it when you do subsequent extensions. Hope that helps.

I guess Ill see if i havent thrown away the receipts. What a farce these things are.

I've been chatting with some young hotties on CB. They all say the same thing. They want a "serious man. " Translation. A guy to marry them and get them out of there.

Here's my question. If you go over there mongering and meet up with these girls (especially the 20-21 year olds).can you get them in the sack (since they are non-pros) after one date (or at the end of the first date). I'm only going to be there for a few days. And don't really want to work at it that hard. The girls seem eager to meet.

I cold go the easy route with pros. But like the idea of the enthusiastic young no-pros,

Anybody have any advice with this?

Thanks!

Blackangst is right it is discussed extensively on the dating section but to summarise (at least my take on it).

1 The prime motive of the majority of girls (apart from scammers is to find some medium-long term relationship hopefully leading to marriage and hitting the jackpot.)

2 However, if (1) is not on the menu, then maybe 30-40% will be open to a shorter term romp.

3 The majority of the girls will not discuss money but in my view (and again this has been lengthily discussed of late), if you have gone for short term fun they will be very much expecting/hoping some sort of financial payback 500P short time or 1000P overnight is probably the "going rate" but some of the cuter or more experienced ones will have higher expectations. One can handle the often embarrassing issue of payback by "here is something for your taxi " or " I would have bought you a present but I didn't know exactly what you wanted "

4 If you are here for just 2 or 3 days the key to this is to sort out if the girl is in the 30% who can beforehand by being pretty upfront in your profile and clear in subsequent messages. Otherwise you are going to waste alot of time.

5 Being late or no shows is pretty common, its best to have a plan b or c

6 Angeles is probably the worst city for online dating as there is so much commercial stuff going on.

7 Manila and Cebu are probably the best as there are plenty of open minded girls there.

8 In other towns it is very possible, but the numbers are likely to be smaller and results more hot and miss.

Maybe 1 in 10 girls will request you don't use a condom. In my view , unless you have had a vasectomy this is reckless as it potentially opens you up to a "honey Ive missed two periods" email 3 months later

[QUOTE=Kycuriosity]Did I read a report correctly before? If you purchase and activate a magicjack in the US then you can take it to Philippines and get free calls to the US while in Philippines? I know internet services aren't the best, but I'm sure I read that somewhere here. Does anyone know about that idea?[/QUOTE]
You can also receive free calls as long as you have MJ logged in, check voice mail as well !
[QUOTE=Azmodeus Fl]It does work well but not with the cellular modems. But connections at the hotels offering internet connection and starbucks are good enough.[/QUOTE]
MJ has a new 3G air card app. but have yet to try it.

This is from another Philippine forum:

Anyway, as of an hour ago, I counted 71 DIA pages of girls from "Angeles," 150 pages of girls from "Angeles City," and a smattering of girls from Pampanga, AC and a few misspellings. There are 10 girls per page, so that amounts to something on the order of 2100-2200 DIA profiles from AC.

You are absolutely right, there are many and many of those are cute. But in my experience a high proportion are bar girls or cam girls etc. Most bar girls have a problem with "sneaking out" as they are heavily penalised if they are caught with guys outside the barfine system. So often they will say Ok meet me at such and such a bar- in which case you may as well have saved yourself the hassle and found the one you most liked in physical reality. That said I have met a couple of excellent girls from DIA in AC but myt percentage success was not as high as in say Cebu. But you are right its certainly not the worse place in Phils for DIA.

[QUOTE=GregLondon]Most bar girls have a problem with "sneaking out" as they are heavily penalised if they are caught with guys outside the barfine system.[/QUOTE]But it's very easy for them to come into say Manila for example. You don't need to go to AC to get AC girls. Many will come to you for a few peso and good time.
