New Prepaid Load Expiration Validity for Globe, Smart, Talk and Text, Sun Cellular, and Touch Mobile Subscribers

I have good news to all Globe, Smart, Sun, Touch Mobile, Sun Cellular, and Talk and Text Subcribers. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has finally done it’s job and ordered these telecoms to extend the validity of loads. This is such a wonderful news to a person like me who hasn’t loaded up her cell phone for months now because the loads just keep on expiring without being used up. I’d rather turn on the laptop and communicate through YM or chikka – at least it’s free. But now I’ll be able to use my cellphone again, thanks to NTC for doing it’s job finally and to Senator Enrile for being the highest ranking government official to stand up against these companies which led to something worthwhile. As of today, July 19, the abovementioned companies have promised that the new expiry validity load should have been in effect. I’m sure in the following days we will find out ourselves if they indeed were true to their promise.

Here’s the list of the new prepaid load expiration validity as of July 19, 2009:

10-or-less load – 3 days
10-20 load – 7 days
20-30 load – 10 days
