Owning a prepaid SIM is a great way to save money. You get to control how much you spend on reloading your phone.

But that’s where the problem lies: most people don’t realize how buying load can take up so much of their finances! Those little purchases of load add up to a large amount, leaving you confused as to how you were able to spend that much in such a short period of time.

Don’t worry, though – we’ve figured out a few ways how you can save money when buying load.

1. Sign up for promos

Get familiar with your network provider’s promos for prepaid users. Not spending a peso on every text you send sounds like a great deal, right?

2. Utilize free Wi-Fi
Using data takes up so much load – even when you’re just on Facebook! Make use of the free Wi-Fi in your area whenever possible. This way, you can save up data and use them in emergencies.

3. Do forum research
We all have our own tricks on saving – why not ask around or do some research? Some forums or articles out there have great ideas that you could maybe apply to your own saving methods.

4. Use apps to talk to people
Sometimes, texting just doesn’t cut it. Download instant messaging apps that work just as fine as text does – and you can do it for free, too! Apps like Messenger, LINE, WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram allow you to get in touch with your loved ones without using your load. All you need is an internet connection.

5. Buy load with GCash
