Filipinos are known for being among the most text savvy in the world. Many Filipinos living abroad also keep in touch with their family and friends in the Philippines using text messaging.
One of the cheapest ways to let your loved ones reach you is by carrying a second phone from the Philippines utilizing a roaming SIM card. This allows anyone in the Philippines to send a text message to a local Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular number for only 1 peso per text. Once you get the message you can text back using your own local phone, Yahoo messenger or Chikka Messenger.
If you don’t have a phone from the Philippines you can get a roaming SIM card in places like the Filipino sari sari or even a Free Philippine Sim Card online. Make sure to keep your SIM doesn’t expire by keeping it loaded online at www.aryty.com.
Tonight was the ABS-CBN Premiere Screening of Sakal Sakali Saklolo at the Alex Theater in Los Angeles. The turnout was strong for both showings of the movie and fans couldn’t hold back their screams when Judy and Ryan arrived on the red carpet.
In between showings Judy and Ryan signed autographs for lucky VIP’s during the meet and greet. Yes, even yours truly made sure not to pass up the chance for a photo opp!

Rave Reviews
Sakal Sakali Sakalo was well received and the theater was full of laughter throughout the film. I’m glad Aryty got the chance to support the screening and give out free load for Globe, Smart and Sun Cell phones to fans that attended the event. We also were able to explain to many people carrying a roaming Philippine cellphone that Aryty can be used to buy load for those roaming Globe, Smart or Sun cellphones. Of course they were even more happy to hear they could get a free load to try us out!
Next stop on the Sakal Sakali Saklolo tour is Hawaii. If you live in Honolulu make sure to attend Sunday night at the Hawaii Theater. The movie will be playing at 8pm. Congratulations to Judy and Ryan on the terrific movie and to the ABS-CBN team for doing a great job with the Premiere!
Globe Telecom, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular are bracing for the rush of New Year’s text messages that are only hours away from starting.
Typically on holidays like Christmas or New Year’s messaging volume increases several times the norm in a very short period. This means that it can take some time for people’s messages to make it through to their loved one’s phone. If you are planning on sending texts to a Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular phone for New Year’s Eve make sure to do it early so your loved one will get it in time!
And remember all those text messages your loved one’s are sending means they need load now more than ever. Make sure to login to Aryty to send your Globe, Smart or Sun load for New Years!

Last week a few of us from Aryty stopped by for a tour of the ABS CBN offices in California. TFC (The Filipino Channel) is the core product of ABS CBN.
TFC became popular in thousands of Filipino households across America for broadcasting hit shows like Wowowee, Bandila and TV Patrol from Manila. ABS also produces top shows like Myx, Citizen Pinoy and Balitang America in their Redwood City studios which play on TFC and are also favorites among Filipinos in the states.
The ABS headquarters houses other products and services such as their music and dvd sales, telecom distribution and balikbayan shipping operations. The facility is truly state of the art and very impressive to visit.
Aryty is working with TFC to spread the word about sending load to the Philippines and our special promo to get a free Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular load. Make sure to watch for our latest commercial!
