e bakit naman kasi naka-data roaming? or even calls? lintek naman dapat ang i-roaming mo lang e text, at naka-all calls barring ka para di ka matawagan at text lang ang pwede. pag andun ka na sa abroad e di bumili ka ng sim card ano! passport lang naman ang need mo i-present para makabili ng sim card. meron pa nare-rent na cel phone sa airports. tanga na inutil yan!

at bakit siya naka-data roaming? tweet-tweet-tweet! tsismosang bakla pati utot naka-tweet!

tagal ko nang naka-roaming, text lang. kaya di pa umaabot ng 1.2k roaming bill ko.

may free wifi sa airports. hotels. starbucks. shopping centers. restaurants. bars. pati massage parlor may free wifi na ngayon, at kung wala e maki-internet ka na lang dun sa phone ng masahista mo.

Sinisingil din ako before ng Globe ng P25k for unli-data roaming charges sa HK. Although, nag avail din ako ng bridge data roaming.

But it ended well for me... isang tawag lang sa dispute dept. nila, inayos account ko at nag-reflect na yung tamang charges on the next bill.

Pano ma-a-upload yung mga selfie sa ibang bansa kung di naka data roaming? Gusto mang inggit ng selfies eh, ayan pang-inggit nya ngayon yang 3M bill nya.

Dapat pala matuwa na ko sa recent P8k bill ko sa Globe

On my most recent trip, I was on roaming too. But I was only texting though I can still make/receive calls. What I did was to buy a local sim.

Sobrang mahal ng roaming data charge talaga kaya kuya ko nag data roam ng unli, I think it is USD15 per day. Bakla ba? Kasi may officemate ako na bakla umabot din ng 200k plus ang bill. Buti winaive ng Globe. Though he admitted na ginamit nga niya yung internet abroad

parang may mali..hindi ba may "credit limit" din ang postpaid?

mine before (sun cell), ginamit ko for roaming, tawag at text (hindi ko kasi alam na ganun pala kataas ang rate) tapos biglang nagtext na na-reached na daw ang limit ko then wala na outgoing/incoming calls at text incoming nalang. limit ko noon is 2500 lang.
