Umobile Rates 1

Let’s take the “100 peso load” as an example
I need to receive 200 ads to get a 100 peso load.
With a 100 peso load, I can:

  • send 666 text messages (Php 0.15/text u to u) or
  • call up to 20 mins (Php 5/min u to u)

  • 166 text messages per week or
  • 5 mins talk time per week
