For a mobile phone user, especially those on prepaid, having load or credit is very vital as it allows you to send SMS, make calls, or connect to the Internet. This shouldn’t be a problem if there’s’ a loading station available nearby, but in case there isn’t, you can just borrow load and services from Globe and Smart.
Globe and Smart’s emergency load services allow you to loan or borrow prepaid credits or subscribe to services even if you’re out of load. The telco will just deduct what you have borrowed on your next load.
