If you
are visiting the Philippines and purchased any travel arrangements from our
office, Air, Accommodation or rental car you
are entitled as a free bonus to receive a local sim card with ample credit to make numerous calls to mobile phones or landlines as well as sending text messages or even access the internet from your laptop via GPRS.
We can mail the simcard to any address world-wide or even leave at the reception if you booked a hotel with us.
Please note that many phone company's provide you with "blocked" phones so you can only operate on there own network our use "international roaming" which can be very costly. Usually there is a substantial charge involved if you want to have your phone unblocked. Fortunately in the Philippines you can find many phone repair shops capable to cure this blockage within a few minutes and at very low charge (usually around $ 2-3)
In the Manila area try Harrison Plaza in Malate (upstairs), Cyber Zone in Quezon City (behind SM shopping complex) Ali Mall in Qubao; this just to mentioning a few places where you can find 'Phone doctors" who can cure this unpleasant blockage.
