i got a sun prepaid sim 0922-xxx-777x & i didn’t pay a single cent hehe. my friend from digitel just gave it to me for free.

i also got a globe number 0917-444-xx55 for the regular price of P200, it’s a globe autoload max retailer sim that comes with a P100 personal load. pang business pa, vanity number pa sya kasi nga 0917 yung prefix hehe!

the i was able to buy a globe prepaid sim 0917-33x-xxxx at P45 hehe. isn’t that cheap enough for a vanity sim?

You just have to be very diligent and madiskarte if you want to have “special” numbers without spending gazillions.

I got my Smart number 090X-XX-54321 for the usual SIM cost, same for my Sun number 0923-XX-66661. Kunting tiyaga lang talaga. =)

I used to work for SMART and sometimes it really costs more than 20K. Mostly chinese subscribers avail of vanity numbers thinking of goodluck for business and personal life.

I wouldn’t mind paying big for a vanity number if it will bring tons of cash!

Won’t they get inundated by people looking for textmates?

Got a few “special numbers” too but didn’t pay a premium for it. I guess I’m just lucky with my mobile numbers.

Some of my old “vanity numbers” include:

(09XX) XXX-7777
(09XX) 7X7-X777
(09XX) 7X8-X888

I’m actually surprised that 0909.8888.788 is cheaper than 0909.8888.882

I would like to have numbers like those, but of course, with the least possible price.

if you run a business, a mobile number is very important in some cases and a brandable and special one is worth a lot. im surprised theyre that cheap actually. its not like these things are a common commodity. how much do you think 9111111 cost for Pizza Hut or 77777, 55555, 922222 etc

I think the target market here are the Chinese Filipinos. You know how they are with numbers, from plate numbers to phone numbers. I noticed the numbers listed above have a whole lot of 8’s in them. The Chinese value the number 8 too much they may be even willing to shell out that kind of money.

As for me, I have Sun postpaid so I was able to choose my number. =)

I used to have a number 09XX-33X-XX33. Bought it for 70 pesos, memorized it less than an hour.

Due to the bad service I get from the network, I changed to the other, getting a number 091A-A3B-0AAB

A stands for a digit. B stands for another. Got it for 45 pesos.

I wonder why people want to buy such numbers away, they’re much more expensive than some phones. It would only take them maybe a week at most to memorize their numbers.
