SIMCARDS..celfon numbers

 

nobody is perfect including the telcos kaya napipilitan ako magkaron ng 4 numbers..
so with my 1 work phone na usual hawak ko sa morning- i have TNT sim as main number, but its data is so mabagal in our area, & mahal yung data ng TNT.
So i am forced to have a Gomo (powered by Globe) sim as sim2 for data. Sobrang tipid ng data sa Gomo sim at mura siya kasi walang expiration ang data, you will only use it sa labas pag walang wifi, at higit sa lahat is mabilis siya.
so yun din gamit ko as sim2. But me text receiving issue ang Gomo globe, the text is sent but the receiver, walang narereceived na text. so i am forced to use TNT as my main number, because TNT is realible sa text, nakaGomo nalang pag gamit ng data.
--
then with my 1 personal phone na gamit ko sa gabi if medyo personal like paginom sa tropa, pagbike, pagbasketball, pang bible study..
here, i have both Gomo & Dito sim numbers, since usually if personal lang, usually messenger, viber at IG or data lang yung gamit. Bihira na kasi nagtetext & call now if personal, usually sa messenger nalang, Mabilis kasi data ng Gomo at Dito, hopefully makacatchup ang Smart TNT 5G
so basically i am using all the telcos available..hahaha, yes i am only using 5G phones na dual sims.. laking bilis as compared to the old non 5G phones. I dont like iphones because it is single sim only & i find esim a little complicated to use..
