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

Wow! Thanks a lot!!!^^
it really realky helped!
Hi! I’d like to ask if you know how to solve my dillema:
i was waiting for our flight yesterday at Clark.. Around 3 hours before our flight to Singapore, i texted Sun in registration for roaming.. I waited… And waited but the confirmation text never came… An hour before our flight I texted again just to make sure…
And I had hoped that by the time we arrived in Singapore it would’ve already been activated but nothing happened… I had to buy a different sim here in Singapore just to communicate with my friends and family… And its really really expensive!!!
Can anyone help me?

I actually experienced the same. I forgot which country I went, but I actually failed to activate the roaming…
what I did was I emailed SUN’s customer service indicating my concern. They replied and activated roaming on my account.
If you are a postpaid subscriber, just watch your usage though, my bill reached almost 7k when I was in the US. 4K when I was in Singapore.
Next time I suggest to use Globe prepaid and activate the roaming service. You can also do the above if you fail to activate it.
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
