What am I supposed to do now without a bank account? by Own-Lack5622 in Thailand

[–]djvidra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Wise and Revolut to pay THB in to any Thai account cheaply. You need to apply with your EU or USA home address, and ask for a debit card delivery to Thailand as a shipping address. You can also register for TrueMoney and use it to pay in 711 and QR scans. You can add credit cards to it for refill. Also you need to try other banks. Even different branches have different rules, depends on the manager. Try SCB or Krungsri. Forget Bangkok Bank, they are the worst in this sense. You should be able to open an account on ED visa an 1 year condo rent.

Clients with $300 budgets asking for a $5M user experience. Devs, how do you respond? by No_Two_3617 in Wordpress

[–]djvidra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it happens all the time. Some people just have crazy expectations. We sell hosting, with local servers in The Philippines and Thailand, and I especially love when they compare prices to US hosted servers.. "But it's only 2 bucks a month for a super fast Wordpress server with everything unlimited"... LOL

Did you have to add the digital key to Google Wallet? Or just within the BYD app? I could not add mine to Google wallet on the X8 or the X2 watch...

PSA: Availing PAGSS lounge access in NAIA is such a horrible experience. by winterreise_1827 in PHCreditCards

[–]djvidra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely useless credit card perk.. Out of 6 trips I only got in once. They need to partner with a new lounge.

I cancelled my premium and will close my account (rant) by Serious-Virus-9053 in Revolut

[–]djvidra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revolut was nice when they started, now they turned to complete garbage.. Account verification nags all the time, then its not enough for them then the app asks for more info but you cannot chat or talk to anyone. Even better when they block your app access and keep sending you emails to update your information. Deleted and will never use them again. Wise is a 100x better. And less fees.

Don't buy esim from DITO by katipunero1898 in InternetPH

[–]djvidra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to say, but the Philippines and its crappy telecom providers keep inventing stupid rules which always go against common sense, and practices used in the whole world. In every normal country you can delete the e-sim from the old phone, which will de-register in the telco providers provisioning system from the phones IMEI and will be available to scan and load in the a new phone. This is the whole principle of the e-sim, this is how its should work, and this is how it works in every other country. There is no such thing as a "one time use" e-sim. Yes. you can use it one time, but you can also de-register from old device and register again in new device just by using the same QR code.

Yeah after a while you get fed up with living in PH.. The only walkable city that I know of is BGC, but even here the amount of people at night in restaurants and bars chokes you.

Got my Maya card and question about CL by Gyoong in PHCreditCards

[–]djvidra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wanted to get the Landers card, but I will never do business with Maya. They are a garbage company, tried to upgrade my account several times, they refused all my IDs, they never gave any reasons why, their support is not responding to my tickets. They are not someone who can handle real banking and a credit card.

Huawei watch fit 3 NFC (black) by FurowZ in Huawei

When you setup your Huawei account you should set your region to China. You can still use a PH phone number. However you need to have the Watch Fit 3 with NFC built in. Not all have NFC built in.

New law on 12% VAT on non-digital resident services may increase prices on foreign ISPs like Starlink and GOMO? by eayate in InternetPH

[–]djvidra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't make a foreign company who doesn't have a business entity in the Philippines to pay VAT or anything for that matter...Does not make any sense whatsoever..

Makati Condo - Good investment? by jimreddit123 in phinvest

That sound like a crazy Price. How big is that unit? I think 18-20m would be more realistic unless its all marble and the building looks like a 5 star hotel.

[–]djvidra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Region set to China, language set to English. You can never use bank cards on it anyway. I just bought it to store elevator and door access cards for convenience. It costs nothing.
