Cell Phone Craze

I have fallen into the whole cell phone craze here in the Philippines. It’s not just about having the newest and coolest phone; it’s about having a phone for every sim card (every cell phone provider). Each cellular provider here has there own promos and deals and everyone wants to take advantage of it. There are promos such as non-stop texting for a certain amount of days within the same provider, cheaper calls within a certain time periods within the same provider, there are also unlimited text and calling within the same provider and you can buy phone cards for this, the more expensive for the more days. There are also downfalls here of course, such as bad connectivity and delayed text messages, but people here don’t seem to mind. Pinoys are the most in touch people I know! They are texting their girlfriend with one hand and their barkada (friend) with the other! So it is very common to see people walking around with a cell phone in each hand and some might have another one in their pockets or purse! I am one of those with two cell phones… yes, I have succumbed to the good deals! Don’t be surprised if you people over there in Canada start carrying around two cell phones soon… after all, we here in the Philippines are a lot more technologically savvy and up-to-date! Hehe. So don’t throw out those old cell phones, you never know when they will come in handy!
