I actually thought that this service was already available since I was able to activate roaming service using my Sun postpaid sim when I was in the US.
Well anyways, I guess roaming service back then was available only for postpaid subscribers. So now, if you don’t have a postpaid line, you can now avail of the prepaid roaming service from Sun Cellular.
Prepaid roaming service is initially available in limited countries like China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore. You can use any prepaid Sim to activate this service.
What’s good about it is no required maintaining balance for you to be able to receive text messages. I wonder if this will still be applicable when this service is already available in the US, since there is a charge when receiving and sending text messages there. If I remember it right, receiving text messages in Singapore is also free.
If you are a postpaid subscriber, you can still enjoy international roaming on 100 Countries worldwide.
To activate your sun roaming service, Just text “ROAM ON” to 222
How does one activate roaming for Sun Cellular prepaid? Going to Hong Kong on the 17th of November . How much maintaining balance do I need? Is 500 pesos for 10 days enough? I will just text anyhow. Perhaps 1 or 2 calls. will bring load cards.
Just text “ROAM ON” to 222
