new Prepaid Load validity

There is a reason to be jolly even when we are in the midst of recession, poverty, and corruption. You read it right! Thanks to the harassment (lol) and pressure from the Senate, the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) has ordered big guns Smart, Globe, and Sun to triple the shelf life of prepaid credits for mobile phones. This will take effect at exactly 12:01 am of July 19, 2009 which is any minute now hehehe. On the other hand, those who have enrolled their credits to unlimited calls or text will not be covered, but only that of regular prepaid load.

Check out the complete list below:

10 or less load = 3 days
11 to 20 load = 7 days
21 to 30 load = 10 days
31 to 40 load = 14 days
41 to 50 load = 17 days
51 to 60 load = 20 days
61 to 70 load = 21 days
71 to 80 load = 24 days
81 to 90 load = 30 days
100 to 150 load = 45 days
151 to 200 load = 60 days
201 to 300 load = 90 days
301 to 600 load = 150 days
601 to 1,000 load = 180 days
