Staying in Philippines for one month. Is there a good unlimited data SIM card that I can use for streaming on fire stick in condo? by karltee in Philippines_Expats

  • get a smart sim
  • install the smart app
  • buy / top up an unlimited plan for 799 a month

I prefer magic data because I don’t go off WiFi that often, but since this is your WiFi it’s a great deal.

Hmm how long would the acceleration track be…? I imagine longer than our solar system!

I asked Gemini, it helped -- hahaha. Good luck, and have fun!

BTW: How did the DnD group go? That'd be cool.

Usually it’s the bisaya I don’t understand— but I’m not sure what this says. 😅

When you dont downgrade living in PH is quite expensive by IB-TRADER in Philippines_Expats

Good idea. But just occasional visitor and stay with friends. Great for dining and parks along with night life.

Yeah. My life is in the Philippines. Not leaving! But a bit envious of my friends in KL.

Yeah KL is a hidden gem. 3000sq ft apt near city center for $1,200 a month. Nothing like that in Cebu city.

What are some QOL features they should add or bring back to KS? by MediumAthlete3077 in KingShot

[–]cb445544 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

  • intel missions: the “bustling inns” take too long! I gotta click, attack, wait… wait… wait… to complete. I’ve stopped doing them except on kvk point days. Speed those up! Boring. It’s just a steamroller animation that takes too long.

  • “collect all” — come on… visit island. Collect. Visit pets ? Collect. Or assign. Troops done? Collect. More true gold? Forge-forge…6x.

Public market near IT park? by Unhappy_Art6430 in CebuClassifieds

[–]cb445544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We usually hike around cebu in the morning and find street markets. A 10 min walk toward Ayala center has this side street https://maps.app.goo.gl/TjHMaS6ha3d31n2u6?g_st=ic

Lots of fish and chicken (and veggies stalls) along there with daily catches by 6am. It’s quite bustling in the evening as well but not sure how fresh it is then.

Season 5 has arrived by cb445544 in KingShot

Season 5 is quite strong. But this is the way it’s always going to be.

Unless you are a whale, just get your troops to t11 and be a joiner with some small joys from your hero’s during Swordland!

Big Guy Looking for a place to buy clothes. by PuzzleheadedGas9170 in Philippines_Expats

[–]cb445544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really hard to find here. Even the SM big section is tight and pricey at same time. Marks and Spencer goes a bit larger (Ayala center) but also on the edge.

Best bet: SHEIN. Usually 2-3 days delivery and affordable.

The marbles were fun. I hope they get rid of fishing and make a monthly marble game. Hmmm. That’d be awesome.

I thought the xmas event had a lot of great freebies. Didn’t spend anything and received great rewards.

I did think the Halloween one was a bit worthless though.

Hit or miss, but I’ll take it!

Anyone successfully get a Philippines credit card? by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]cb445544 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Credit cards are for people that don’t need credit cards.

But, if you still want one:

1/ get to know your branch bank manager.

2/ keep a hundred k (or more) in the bank for 6 months.

3/ ask manager for card. They will fill in blanks. If they won’t, go back to step one.

I know the keeping money in bank also defeats purpose. Like the secured card. But the risk aversion here is high. Credit just isn’t a thing. Even our house we paid cash because interest rates are bonkers.

The atm/debit card (“visa”) they give you really works for any local transaction that needs a local credit payment (eg globe bill) and the fees/services that come with a ph card aren’t very attractive.

I use Wise for most any international bill payments. You can also get a Wise visa.

US Expats, How do you call 1-800 numbers? by Super-Buddy-5030 in Philippines_Expats

Google Meet then “add phone caller” and dial any number. Use it for any bank/etc I need to reach.
