How much does your cellphone load cost you??
Reviewing my Load expenses for the year 2009. I concluded that, for me to have a convenient life and not worrying about load, I need to have an annual budget of Php 6500.
Sulitxt15 will cost you 15 pesos a day, amounting to 450 pesos a month or 5400 a year. That is equivalent to 100 texts a day.
Unlitxt, using its 5 day promo, will cost you 80 pesos per 5 days amounting to 480 pesos a month or 5760 a year.
Then I discovered Globe’s Immortal Call. With only 15 pesos registration I can have 50 text messages and 5 minutes of call. The good thing, it doesn’t expire.
The table below shows the Amount that you can invest in registering in Immortal call and how much is its equivalent in texts and calls.
|
Number of times registering
|
Amount in Php
|
Equivalent number of Texts
|
Equivalent number of Calls in minutes
|
Approx. Months of use
|
| 5 | 75 | 250 | 25 | .5 |
| 10 | 150 | 500 | 50 | 1 |
| 20 | 300 | 1000 | 100 | 2 |
| 40 | 600 | 2000 | 200 | 4 |
| 60 | 900 | 3000 | 300 | 6 |
| 100 | 1500 | 5000 | 500 | 10 |
| 120 | 1800 | 6000 | 600 | 12 |
With 1800 pesos, or equally distributing it per month, I would have a monthly expenditure of 150 Php. That is equivalent to 6000 texts and 600 calls annual, or 500 texts or 50 calls a month.
| Original Budget | 6500 |
| Forecasted Cost | 2000 |
| Savings | 4500 |
If most of your contacts is using the same network as yours i.e. Globe. Then this will be a big saver for you.
