Remember sending a Globe, Smart or Sun load to your loved ones in the Philippines is one of the easiest way to let them know you’re thinking of them! Aryty?!
We continue to get emails from people asking what the catch is with the free Globe, Smart or Sun load that we give away to allow people to test out Aryty. I want to let you know there is no catch. We are just so sure that Aryty is the best way to buy load or send load to the Philippines that we let you see for yourself by sending the first time free.
For the Newbies:
Log onto www.aryty.com and enter the mobile number of your loved one in the Philippines or of a roaming Philippine mobile phone you might want to load. Aryty can e-load any Globe, Smart, or Sun Cellular prepaid phone. This includes Addict Mobile, Touch Mobile and Smart Buddy. We will give you up to 150 pesos of free load with no strings attached! The amount varies by carrier but is at least 115 pesos.
Don’t believe us. See for yourself and get a free Globe, Smart or Sun load now. Isabihin mo yung kaibigan mo tungkol sa Aryty!
In between checking out the sights of Kathmandu I had the chance to meet up for lunch with Bal Joshi the founder of Thamel.com. Thamel allows Nepalese abroad to buy gifts and services for their relatives living in Nepal.
It was a great exchanging ideas with Bal as both of our companies are focused on serving friends and family separated from their loved ones back home. Thamel does an amazing job providing services from birthday cake delivery to offering mortgages to buy a home in Nepal. They even take a picture of gifts being delivered to family members for their relatives to enjoy overseas. Thamel’s most unusual product is live goats which they deliver. That’s when I realized how easy the load business really is!
Every year I try and get far away for Labor Day weekend to take a break and relax. This year I choose to check out Kathmandu in Nepal. Hope you are enjoying your holiday is much as I am. Happy Labor Day!
New York and New Jersey is home to thousands of Filipinos and todays attendance at the Philippine Fiesta in the Meadowlands was standing room only. Starting with the young talents in the morning time to Piolo making a PA and almost bringing the house down!
The Aryty Team was busy giving away free Globe load, Smart load and Sun load to folks who stopped by the booth to say hello in addition to handing out some promos! Lots of Filipinos still don’t know how easy it can be to help a loved one by sending load so it was a great chance for us to spread the word. Surprisingly many people have roaming mobile phones from the Philippines and were excited to learn they can buy load and recharge their mobile using Aryty. A special surprise was Beau Canlas, the fast rising star on MYX coming to the event with his family from Virginia and the Philippines! He kicked it with the Aryty Team and even took pictures with fans.
Tomorrow the Fiesta will start with a mass at 10am and then the day really gets exciting with Pops Fernandez making an appearance in the Aryty booth at 2PM! What a true honor and privilege to have this beautiful filipina and Concert Queen stop by! Of course we know everyone will cherish a picture with Pops and we’re excited to offer the chance.
See Pops Fernandez, meet Beau from MYX, watch the Miss Philippine Fiesta pagent, hear the next Philippine Idol and enjoy Filipino cuisine all at the Philippine Fiesta 2007! oh….bring your friends by our booth so we can tell them about the best way to buy load too! Get Philippine Fiesta Details
This week we added a new feature that allows you to have more than one credit card registered at Aryty. You can designate a primary card on your account which will be charged each time you send a scheduled load or load via SMS and you will have the option of selecting which card you would like to have charged whenever you send via web. You can change your primary card with just a click and always pay for load using the card that’s best for you. Just one way to make sending load to the Philippines even more convenient!
One of the best ways to keep in touch with loved ones in the Philippines is by sending them a text. Although most carriers in the U.S. and Canada will allow you to send international text messages it can be expensive option for you and your loved one.
Many Filipinos in the states use a Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular roaming phone from the Philippines as an easy way to stay connected. When you use a Philippine roaming phone your relative abroad is only charged local text rates when they send or reply to all messages via your local Philippine mobile number. It does cost a bit more however to send text with the Philippine phone since you will be roaming if you are using it outside the Philippines.
Another option is to link your U.S. phone to a Yahoo messenger account and send text through the messenger. Your cost is the same as local text and your loved ones pay a low rate when they reply. Yahoo connects to all mobile carriers in the Philippines so you can communicate with any phone. If you like the messenger option you may also want to try downloading the Chikka messenger which allows you to send sms messages from the web to Philippine mobile phones.
Whatever you decide is the best way to text to the Philippines just make sure to keep your loved one loaded with Aryty so they will have enough load to text message you back!
This guest post is written by Noelle Hernandez, who is currently on break from the Philippines visiting her sister in New York City. She will be returning to Manila soon and we were fortunate to have her help us out at the Aryty booth during the PAFCOM Parade and Festival last weekend in Jersey City.
Hello to everyone reading this blog! My name is Noelle and nandito ako ngayon sa New York visiting my sister. How I met Nils and how I ended up hanging out with his team, helping them hand out fliers and balloons last Sunday, is too long a story to tell; but I’ll let you in on one thing, my Sunday was definitely a day well spent.
I mean, fiesta time sa New Jersey, ang galing diba?! The sun was out and the morning air was filled with the aroma of the tastiest Filipino dishes you can imagine, yung amoy na lagi mong malalanghap pag nagluluto si lola sa kusina back home. Kaya nakakamiss tuloy umuwi. The strip was filled with smiling faces and children running around with Aryty balloons tied to their wrists (we did such a great job handing those out!). Nakakatuwa talaga pag nakakakita ka ng mga Filipino families when they come together, everyone happy and laughing; but it was even better seeing that even non-Filipinos were enjoying pinoy culture just as much and that made me feel very proud. At saka meron palang parade with members of the community marching around in colorful maria claras and barong tagalogs, the younger girls strutting their stuff wearing their crowns and sash. ang ku-cute talaga at akakatuwa. Oh and lets not forget that we even had our very own Philippine Fiesta Idol! How cool is that? =)
I can’t say this enough, but it was really such a great day well spent! Fiestas are definitely part and parcel of Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, fiestas will always be the tie that binds Filipino families, friends, and communities together. A celebration where we rejoice family and friendship, hindi mo na ngaminsan papansinin ang gastos para lang makapag-fiesta! haha! Pinoy na Pinoy! At para lang makasam mo yung iba mong barkada at kababayan.
Sharing this fiesta with Nils and his team made me realize at the day’s end that Aryty.com is actually celebrating a different kind of fiesta with us and for us where everybody can experience it everyday, touching base with our pinoy family and friends here and abroad through texting and even sending load. A single text can go a long way and, likewise, so can load!
