Thanks Sam! You just answered 3 of my questions. 1) Where I will meet my taxi driver upon arrival. 2) Where can I change money? 3) Where I can get a SIM card? Fantastic, I will not get lost! Thanks again!
Thank you Aaron. That’s why I made the video. When I first came here 15yrs ago I had no clue what to do. Glad I could help and thank you for joining us. U be safe
Just get a SIM Card from 7-11... it's cheaper (US$1) then reload whatever amount you wish. Never get your SIM Card from the Airport Arrival lobby -- ripoff!
I agree with that ripoff stuff. That’s why If I need one in a pinch. I’ll just go to Lawson and buy a SIM card for 50pesos and add my own load. But if you can’t do it. Then there’s other option
I think that’s a different package. I’ve haven’t try that one yet…wish I can help. I normally get the 499 pesos plan and it’s for thirty days of free talk and text and lots of gig of data. Let’s say I’ve never run out before 30days..by the way. Don’t leave it on roaming. It will eat your data up. FAST
Join…thank you for joining us…yeah, make sure you have that international package..I think it’s $10 add on to your TMOBILE. Data is slow but in some places it’s really fast. If you have a friend to show you. Just go to the mall and buy a SIM card for 50pesos. Have your friend register it and show you all the different packages the smart has. I normally use the 499 pesos one. And it’s good for 30days. And every month I do it again. So less than $10 I have great data and unlimited calls and text through smart.
Sam, thanks for the follow up response. Yes, my asawa is from Philippines, I have been going there sine 1984. Normally I have one of the ladies at a phone stand help us out. A little tip for them makes the process easier. Thanks again, take care. And keep up the good videos.
Don’t buy SIM card in the airpot it is expensive, you can get in touch with your Friend or GF through messenger, WhatsApp etc…since there is a wifi in the airport anyway, just a suggestions.
You are absolutely correct. That’s assuming you have a gf to meet…But you can go by Lawson at terminal 3 and buy the sim it’s cheap there. You don’t have to pay that expensive package at the kiosk. If you need to get connected after you leave the airport best to get registered at the airport cuz you need wifi to register
If you change your sims card do you lose all your photos and info on your phone? I’m not bring my sims card and all my plane and hotel document will he on my phone.
No, Photos and documents are not saved on SIM cards. They are saved on your Data cards on your phone. Or cloud or an external hard drive. Be safe and have a great trip
@@goatman3828 yes, but the problem is. If your phone doesn’t take a 2nd Philippine SIM card and if your phone doesn’t have an international data plan. now what are you going to do? I don’t think they sell phones at the airport. You’ll have to wait til you go to a mall and buy a new phone.
Wow, cool. I remembered…thanks for the tips that you gave me.look me up on messenger I have some questions for you if you are available. You have a great rest of your trip in Dumaguete. Be safe guy…and say hello to your gd for us. …
Have a question when you guys travel do you bring your sims card too or just leave it at home? Also when I change the sims card will all my travel documents be lost or will it still be on the phone? Because all me air flight and hotel information will be on the phone but I guess I can print out copy’s too
I actually travel with two iPhones phones. One with TMOBILE. That one I leave alone cuz you get free data and free text on the international package. I also have an unlocked phone for my Philippine SIM card. To answer your question, you will not lose your contacts or documents cuz that’s saved on the phone not the sim card …hope that helps you out William. Also it’s good to print traveling documents.
I went back to the kiosk at the airport, as of now the smart kiosk has eSIM but it’s more expensive ( over 2000pesos ) but the data doesn’t expire in 30 days which is nice. Globe doesn’t offer eSIM as of now.
@@papadougpapadougsadventures I agree, you can also find cheaper ways to get data in the Philippines…but I made this video, so first time travelers can get immediate internet without stress……thank you for the comment papadoug…you have a great day…
dude..why use so much data when travelling?Im sure you use a lot at home country why use more when travelling? also, there are wifis everywhere..Are you just gonna stare at your cell phone most of the time when in holidays? thats absurd dude.. last time i went to the philippines and I always have my phone in airplane mode and constantly connected in wifis@@SAMLAMB
