Today, in âDumber in the Philippinesâ
So Smart telecom, one of the Big Two cell providers in the Philippines, has two types of âload cardsâ for prepaid servicesâone for data and one for calls/texts. You cannot, say, use a call/text card to load up a wifi hotspot. You can only use it to load up a regular prepaid phone.
You can, however, give said card to a friend to load up their prepaid call/text account and then have them send load to your data account via text (they send a text to a number and the load gets deducted from their account and put into your account).
So whatâs the fucking point of having two types of prepaid load cards?
