I have recently joined the two-phones/two-sims population where I have one pair of phone and sim for one network and another for a different carrier. I have both Globe and Sun, the Globe is used for my friends in college and high school while the Sun sim is for my family (since I work away from home). I find Sun very convenient because it offers very cheap rates. I usually purchase a Php150 card that covers unlimited text messages and four hours of free calls. That's more than enough for me. The only downside with Sun is that I often lose signal in different parts of the house, which is strange but still OK for my basic needs. How many cellphones do you use and which carrier do you prefer the most: Globe, Smart, Sun, Red?

i subscribe to 2 networks as well - Globe and Sun. Ive been using my prepaid Globe number for more than 3 years. Almost two years ago, i got a postpaid Sun simcard. I ahve the similar 'inconvenience'. The network signal of Sun is weak in some parts of the house. Everyone in my family has Sun as a second line. It's very convenient to get in touch with them using SUm. My sister and I are the only ones with line subscription. The rest are all prepaid. Since it features unlimited calls and texts (postpaid) they could always text me or my sister adn we'll be the ones to call them. I rarely load my globe since i also get a 250 freetext per month to other network. Its a pretty good deal. My friends or colleagues who are subscribed to globe (usually enrolled in globe unli) can text me in my globe number and i can reply to them using my sun, free of charge! also,if my Sun has no signal, they can still reach me through my globe number. I also purchased a 2mbps Sun broadband. A lot of people are skeptical to purchase one since the Suncel has a 'reputation' of having bad network coverage. But they actually have a different network/satellite (or something like that) for the broadband. it's actually fast, and convenient. They have affordable packages.

I only have one cellphone with me. Actually, I seldom use cellphone except when it is necessary to use it. As we all know, cellphones have the danger of giving off radiation which does a great harm to our health. Mostly, I use the landline for the sake of health problem. Well, some people like to use two more cellphones for different purpose. There's nothing wrong with them. We just need to take care of ourselves when using cellphones.

I have only one cell phone that I use, and we do not have a house phone either. I only need one phone, personally. Also, I do use a voicemail service which is free. I mainly use that for things such as selling online on eBay or giving numbers out to people I may not want to give my main number to. I can call them back from the voicemail service without them knowing my real cell number.

Here at home, since we don't have any landline, my hubby, me and our 2 kids, we own one each of us. They all have Globe lines, 1 postpaid and 2 prepaid. Mine is a pre paid Smart.

I have the same setup as yours. I have four cellphones, two Globe and two Sun. I use them for different purposes. For my globe, I have one on postpaid and one prepaid. Both my Suns are on postpaid. Their just the best for me. I have a problem too with Sun, the calls get cut off after 15 minutes and occasionally some bad receptions too.

Same here, I got two cellphones, 1 Globe and the other 1 Sun. My Sun is a postpaid, so I guess I got better signal than the prepaid one.

I am using a single phone right now and its under Smart. I used to have two lines but its not convenient for me to be carrying two phones around so I gave up my Globe line. I am using Smart mainly because of its Smart money Funtion and its mobiile banking features.I can transfer money from my bank account to my Smart money card when I need emergency cah. I can also transfer money from my smart money to my cousin's smart moeny whenever I send money at home.The charges are quite smaller compared to western union and LBC. transfering any amount from my smart money to another smart money card just costs 2.50 and is deducted from your airtime balance. Unlike in LBC where it charges around 30+ for every 500 peso to be sent.

I use only one cell phone as it very irritating to carry 2 cellphones, rather when I need to use 2 cell phones I would prefer to use a DUAL SIM supported Handset so that I do not have to carry 2 cellphones with me! Happy Mylotting!!!

a have to your 4 cellphones for the pass 2 years. The reason was I always loss my cellphone. Tips to avoid loss cellphone: 1) Hang you cellphone at your neck 2) ask your partner to keep it for you. 3) Do not buy any cellphone because if you do not have cellphone than you would not face any issues of loss cellphone LoL! Just joking

I have just one cellphone.Of course I have seen and do know that people use more than one cellphones.Normally one is used for official work and the other is for personal use.I completely understand that it is necessary to have separate mobiles if the number of contacts are very huge.It makes sense to have separate phone numbers for personal and official use.But for me till now I haven't faced a necessity for having more than one cellphones.I think if one has 2 phones then one should be very organized else managing them would be a problem.

I used one mobile phone and I use postpaid Mobinil this is one of the network here in Egypt. Back home I use Globe since I've got my first phone and I haven't tried to use other carrier. I like Globe because I always have full signal in most places I go or anywhere in the house and I never got issue using globe.

I live in India and I use two cell phones. One is having Vodafone connection and the other one has BSNL. For sms purpose I use the BSNL mobile and for calling purposes I use Vodafone. In city areas Vodafone has the best coverage and in the village areas, BSNL has the best coverage. I am satisfied with both the network connections.
