When I went to the mall yesterday, I have seen this machine before I enter the grocery area. I thought at first that it was an ATM machine. But when I came near, I noticed that it was smaller than the ordinary ATM machine so I became curious and started to read what is written on it. I found out that it is actually a e-loading machine and this was my first time to see this. I usually buy cards or electronic load offered by some stores, but I find it amazing to see a machine like this one so I started to operate it. I followed the instruction on the screen, drop some coins and I got my load automatically! Have you seen this kind of machine around your area my friends!
Have a nice day!

retailers is not also safe for me since we normally wrote down our number and others can see it, sometimes i receive an anonymous text from someone who want to be my text mate or other person asking me to load them or something and i hate it, then a lot of messages from network provider for some kind of alerts and even if i already called the network provider to stop all alerts then when im loading again in retailers there comes all the alerts again, so i just normally buy card for at least a minimum of 150 pesos though i bought 300 pesos card load which i only pay 290 pesos and with 35 free text, without annoying alerts and no anonymous messages which i hate.

Hi Ghajini! Yes, this machine is very convenient to use. If I only have my own shop I would want to have this also. Have a nice day!

hi aries1973.
i've seen these e-loading machines as well but have never used any yet. i think that it is a clever machine and a very helpful one. there is one that i normally pass by and it is located in the elevated walkway in our financial district. i think it is very handy to have access to load credits even if there are no stores located nearby or even during the wee hours of the morning.
anyway, i might try using one later so at least i can say that i've experienced using an e-load machine.
cheers and happy mylotting!!!

i guess i've seen one of that kind but i could not totally recall which mall it was. i just didn't bother to check or how it really works as i presently enjoying a fixed-load subscription. well, that's how pinoys are, we invent a lot that provides help. it's just like the ATM (automatic tubig machine) that we invented.

I'm not sure if it's Philippine made though. I think I've seen some Chinese characters on the side part of the machine. Not sure really.

what kind of loading machine is that load for prepaid cellphone or prepaid internet or online games. its not new to me in fact theres even cellphone charging in the mall and other establishment which is coin operated, in our work we also have loading machine and its good thing for a prepaid mobile user like me.

Hi jeanne! Yes one must have an exact amount when using the machine. I also notice, that it did not accept the ten peso coin. I use 3 five peso coins in order to have the minimum load of 15 pesos.

Hello 
Aries1973, I didn't realize that, but will this discourage people from going to this kind of situation. Wish you can show us some samples and should have taken a picture of it. this is the first time I've heard it in a discussion, thank you for telling us this.

Hi LetranKnight! Actually, it was also my first time to encounter such machine at the mall. Actually I am researching online about this machine and I found out it is called Digital Eload Vending Machine. I also found out we could actually make a franchise for only 30,000 pesos ($750). I get this information at uload.com I still have to make more research about it.
Thank you for the response.

I have not yet. But, that's a nifty machine. I load on my Globe tattoo for internet and that would not be neat to load on an e-load machine. I hope globe has it?

Hi glory! Yes it is really! I think it can load any network. I use smart and I was just amazed of the machine so I tried it too. I am not sure if others know it already because I had been staying in the remote area for 3 months so I was not able to go out of the city.
I just thought I'm ate on everything already. I just don't have my camera with me yesterday so I was not able to take picture of it.
Have a nice day!

Hi friend! I'm glad to know that there are several e-loading machines in your area. It will be more convenient for us to top-up every time we run out of load. Thank you for sharing!

Cool idea that you can load by yourself.

Hi ardoy! That's what I thought of it at first. But am not contented if I've seen something interesting and I will just look at it. So I tried it myself and the load automatically came in. It's really cool!

I have seen this one near the school. I was also amazed seeing such machine even though I haven't tried it myself. I think sooner or later, similar machines would flood the market and eliminating many trash and plastics from ticket load and cell cards.

Hi kenshin! Yes that's true. I think this is also a very good business venture.

If I am not mistaken, I found the same machines at the airport, I'm not sure though what terminal it is. I sure wish we have these near our place. It will be pretty convenient, plus those who sell loads in retail by collecting the numbers often make "use" of their clients' numbers. A good example is my friend (he's a foreigner) who buys his load thru the e-loading stores because he just can't make the prepaid card work. So he asks them to load him up. After that, he will receive some unwanted text messages or calls from girls wanting him to be their text mates.

Hi Raine! That is one of the advantages on the part of the customers. On the part of the entrepreneur, it is also advantageous in the sense that it will totally eliminate purchase on credit which is one of the disadvantages on manual eload retailing.
Thank you fro sharing.

Hi I don't know the name of this machine, I forgot but I first saw this on TV in the defunct game variety show Happee Yipee Yehey. Just like what you stated it is like an Atm machine with of course screen on it. Its really cool. I have not yet seen it personally but I think this is a really good additional to any business.

Hi mrsuniega! Yes this Eload vending machine is really cool. I'm sure this is a good business venture. It really caught my attention but I have to make thorough research to know more about this thing. I am really considering of having a business but this kind of loading business require bigger capital than the ordinary loading business that I know. What do you think friend? Do you have any suggestion?
