Share-A-Load

We’re loving the idea of this - a new system in the Philippines that lets mobile users share their credit with each other and top each other up if they are running low. Using technology to enable human beings connect with each other and exchange valuable things? Hmmm . . . . that feels very familiar doesn’t it?

“Globe allows its users to send (via SMS) their phone credits or “loads” to others running low. The service costs PHP 1 (about US .024) for each transaction and is available to prepaid and postpaid Globe subscribers. Donors simply contact an automated number, punch in their pin code, the recipient’s number, and how much money they’re giving and both parties are notified upon receipt”.
