Hellow IDD Card From SMART

You can now avail of affordable IDD rates by using the SMART International Services Hellow Reloadable IDD Card.

For Filipinos who enjoy calling their loved ones all over the world, connecting is as inexpensive as a P30.00 IDD card. Imagine, as low as P2.50 per minute. Reload for as low as P15!

Here are the inexpensive IDD Rates:

US, Canada, Guam, Hawaii - P2.50/minute

Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Brunei - P5.00/minute

Japan, Australia, UK, Italy, Thailand - P8.00/minute

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, India, Bahrain - P10.00/minute

Rest of the world - $0.40/minute

This is one way of showing that more and more companies are recognizing the need for Filipinos to keep in touch with their friends, families, and relatives living or working outside the Philippines. Something as basic as hearing someone's voice... instead of just relying on SMS text.

I guess this means OFWs really want to hear the voice of their children, to help them get over their homesickness, or perhaps to inspire themselves to keep working hard (especially now that the Philippine forex rate is not exactly that attractive to exporters and OFWs remitting money back to the Philippines).

Naisbitt was right: high tech, high touch. It's a good thing keeping in touch is now within the reach of the budget-conscious thanks to the SMART Hellow IDD card.
