Buy Cellular Phones in the Philippines

If you want to buy inexpensive cellular phones in the Philippines, how does US$4.50 a month sound?

You might be surprised, but telecom companies are very competitive in the cellular phone market. Some companies like Sun Cellular, for example, allow you to go home with your very own brand new cellphone for only P250 (about US$4.46) a month for 24 months.

They also come with pre-paid phone kits where you can get a cellular phone for around P7,000 (US$125). That cellphone kit also comes with pre-loaded credits over the next 24 months.

So, whether you choose to pay a one-time fee up front, or if you'd rather pay 24 affordable monthly installments, buying cellular phones in the Philippines may just be your best bet.
