Maximize Your Sun Cellular Free Monthly Text Allocation

If you want to maximize the initial free monthly text allocation of your Sun Cellular simcard, the first thing you should do is call 221 (cellphone load balance inquiry).

Imagine getting a new Sun Cellular simcard...

Miss, can I use the new simcard now?

It still has to be activated. Give it around 24 hours.

Really? Hmmm... maybe I can try sending a text to my existing non-Sun phone.

(Tries texting, and successfully receives the SMS text message.)

Miss! How come it works? I thought you said it will be activated in 24 hours pa?

That's a pleasant bonus, isn't it, Sir?

Eventually, the simcard gets "activated" but when you do a balance inquiry by calling 221, you discover that you have far fewer free texts.

Hello, Customer Service? How come I have only a few free texts, when I only sent out one test text message?

Sir, did you first call 221?

Uh... no. Should I?

Sir, you should've called 221 first.

(According to the Sun Cellular Hotline Customer Service people, please call 221 first when you get a brand new simcard. Happy texting, folks!)
