How much do text messages actually cost?


Travel Info
Assuming that you own a prepaid account, and that you are not subscribed to any unlimited text service?

Globe to other mobile carriers?
Globe to Globe?
Smart to other mobile carriers?
Smart to Smart and TNT?

I'm a Globe subscriber.
I need your ideas because I'm starting to doubt that text messages only cost P1-2 pesos. I loaded my phone with P20 this afternoon, and after only 7 text messages (approx 150 characters each) to a Smart phone I reached zero balance. Is this normal?

Travel Tips
it should only be P1. if you think you were incorrectly charged, you can call Globe's customer service number 211 for free.

i was charged for a service i didn't use and i complained about it. they gave me back my P30 load.

as far as i know, globe to globe is "piso" but you can avail of the unlimited text packages which makes texting cheaper and more enjoyable

globe to other carriers is definitely 1-2.50. replying to chikka msngr is 2.50
Globe subscriber - local and also roaming
I experienced that Smart has a habit of sending you text with some charges/deductions when you open it. They like to send you some ring tones and other crap without you asking for it. Thus, your load never lasts very long even if you don't send any text. Thats why I switched to Globe. If they start doing the same way then I will just throw the phone into the river.
For Prepaid Account SMS rates are all the same for 1 Peso per SMS.

Globe to other mobile carriers = 1 peso
Globe to Globe = 1 peso
Smart to other mobile carriers = 1 peso
Smart to Smart and TNT = 1 peso
yeah sometimes there are ghost charges on users of both prepaid and postpaid, and if it麓s not a bother or you would like to get back what was taken, give them a call and complain about it, as far as I know texting to your own network would just cost 1 peso but to other network I guess its around 1-2 pesos...
