Absolutely Mike!

I had to wait until she woke up this morning to find out. She says that she purchased a SMART simm card. She has what they call "Roaming" which means International in the Phils. She bought the simm card with 500php load at first and she has to maintain 100php for the account to stay active. So what she does is she texts them using the American phone that has unlimited texting and her family and friends in the Phils text the SMART simm card roaming phone for the same price as they would text her if she was in the Phils. Ena said 1 peso is all it cost them for each text.

As far as I know that is the cheapest method yet when it comes to texting. I hope that helps Mike!
