While Mai and I are miles away (I'm still in Manila, she's back in Cebu), our usual means of communication now are through texting, Yahoo! messenger. I'm not really a textaholic and I don't like texting or even phone conversations (wait, I did work in call centers before, right? Okay, that's a different story). I have no choice, though, because that's our only ways to communicate. And so far, it's been expensive.

Okay, we don't actually call each other and spend hundreds of pesos on text messaging but for us, it's a big deal that we have to spend Php 50 almost every 4-7 days to text each other. We're both using Globe sims and I didn't really pay attention to Globe promos until today.

My bro actually informed me about this promo weeks ago and I didn't bother to learn more about it so I thought it's only for 1 day (I think he did explain it but I wasn't paying attention), and I might use the load to call someone and won't be able to because I converted it to ImmortalTxt. But, since our texting expenses is really off the charts (okay, for our budget, that is), I decided to look more into this.

Globe ImmortalTxt promo works like this - you convert Php 10.00 load to ImmortalTxt and you get 50 texts to Globe and TouchMobile #s PLUS 10 texts to OTHER networks. And, wait, there's more!! There's NO expiration date! How great is that?!

I know, I know, I'm way too late in availing of this promo. I say, it's better late than sorry. Heehee!

Alright, here's how to convert your Globe prepaid load to ImmortalTxt. Note that this is only available to Globe Tattoo and Globe Prepaid subscribers.

1. Make sure you have at least Php 11.00 remaining balance:
   Php 10.00 to convert to ImmortalTxt
   Php 1.00 as maintaining balance
2. Text IMMORTAL10 to 8888.
3. Wait for the confirmation message that your Php 10.00 load has been converted already.

That's it! Hurry and convert or register now because the promo was only extended 'til November 30th! (See updates at the end of this post)

Now, here's the catch. Actually, there are 2. Although there's no expiry date for ImmortalTxt, you still have to load to maintain your SIM's validity. Secondly, if you use up the Php 1.00 maintaining balance (for instance, you used up all the Globe-to-Globe/TM but not the texts to other networks), you won't be able to use the remaining ImmortalTxts you got left until you load at least Php 1.00 again to your sim.

If you want to find out how much ImmortalTxt you got left, you can text IMMORTAL<space>BAL to 8888. Take note, though, that you'll be charged Php 1.00 when doing this.

So, I'm off to converting at least Php 20.00 to ImmortalTxt so I can text away! I'll now take advantage of all promos I can get. Woohoo! (lolz)

Update: This promo has been extended til January 2010. So, hurry! I've got about 300+ ImmortalTxts remaining hehehe.
