- Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Ministop, FamilyMart) — Tell the cashier your number and amount. Load is applied instantly.
- Sari-sari store — The classic Filipino method. Ask the tindera for load and give your number. Usually available from ₱10 up.

- Online banking — Most Philippine banks (BPI, BDO, UnionBank, Metrobank) have a "Buy Load" feature in their apps.
- Autoload / Auto-Recharge — Set up automatic loading when your balance drops below a certain amount. Available through GCash and network apps.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Mga Hakbang-Hakbang na Instruksyon
-
Choose Your Loading Method
The best method depends on what's available to you. If you have GCash or Maya with balance, that's the fastest — you can load anyone from your phone in under a minute. If you're outside, any convenience store or sari-sari store can sell you load. If you're loading for someone else, pasaload is handy if you have extra load yourself.
For the best value, always load using a promo or data package instead of regular load. Promos give you much more data and texts for the same price. We'll cover popular promos in the section below.
-
Load via GCash (Easiest Method)
GCash is the most popular way to buy load in the Philippines. Here's how:
- Open the GCash app and tap "Buy Load" on the home screen
- Enter the mobile number you want to load (yours or someone else's)
- The app will auto-detect the network (Globe, Smart, TNT, DITO, etc.)
- Choose between Regular Load (plain load amount) or Promos (data/call/text bundles)
- Select the amount or promo you want — popular options start at ₱10
- Review the details and tap "Confirm"
- Enter your MPIN or use biometric authentication
- Load is delivered instantly — you'll get a confirmation in the app
Tip: GCash sometimes has load promo bundles that are cheaper than what you'd get via text registration. Check the "Promos" tab before selecting regular load.
-
Load via Maya
Maya (formerly PayMaya) also makes buying load simple:
- Open the Maya app and tap "Buy Load"
- Enter the recipient's mobile number
- Choose the network if not auto-detected
- Select a load amount or promo pack
- Confirm and authenticate with your PIN or biometrics
- Load arrives within seconds
Maya often has cashback promos on load purchases — check the "Deals" section before buying.
-
Piliin ang Paraan ng Pag-load Mo
Ang pinakamainam na paraan ay depende sa kung ano ang available sa iyo. Kung may GCash o Maya kang may balance, iyon ang pinakamabilis — pwede kang mag-load ng kahit sino mula sa phone mo sa loob ng isang minuto. Kung nasa labas ka, kahit anong convenience store o sari-sari store ay nagbebenta ng load. Kung naglo-load ka para sa ibang tao, ang pasaload ay madaling gamitin kung may sobra kang load.
Para sa pinakamainam na halaga, palaging mag-load gamit ang promo o data package imbes na regular load. Mas maraming data at text ang makukuha mo sa promos para sa parehong presyo. Tatalakayin natin ang mga popular na promo sa section sa ibaba.
-
Mag-load via GCash (Pinakamadaling Paraan)
Ang GCash ang pinakapopular na paraan ng pagbili ng load sa Pilipinas. Ganito:
- Buksan ang GCash app at i-tap ang "Buy Load" sa home screen
- Ilagay ang mobile number na gusto mong i-load (sa iyo o sa iba)
- Awtomatikong made-detect ng app ang network (Globe, Smart, TNT, DITO, atbp.)
- Pumili sa Regular Load (plain na halaga ng load) o Promos (data/call/text bundles)
- Piliin ang halaga o promo na gusto mo — ang mga popular na option ay nagsisimula sa ₱10
- I-review ang mga detalye at i-tap ang "Confirm"
- Ilagay ang MPIN mo o gamitin ang biometric authentication
- Na-deliver ang load kaagad — makakakuha ka ng confirmation sa app
Tip: Minsan may load promo bundles ang GCash na mas mura kaysa sa makukuha mo sa text registration. Tingnan ang "Promos" tab bago pumili ng regular load.
-
Mag-load via Maya
Ang Maya (dating PayMaya) ay madali ring gamitin para bumili ng load:
- Buksan ang Maya app at i-tap ang "Buy Load"
- Ilagay ang mobile number ng tatanggap
- Piliin ang network kung hindi auto-detected
- Pumili ng halaga ng load o promo pack
- I-confirm at mag-authenticate gamit ang PIN o biometrics mo
- Darating ang load sa loob ng ilang segundo
Madalas may cashback promos ang Maya sa pagbili ng load — tingnan ang "Deals" section bago bumili.
-
Load via Retailer or Convenience Store
If you prefer paying cash, you can buy load at any of these locations:
- 7-Eleven, Ministop, FamilyMart — Tell the cashier the number, network, and amount. They'll process it through their POS system. Load arrives instantly.
- Sari-sari stores — Most neighborhood stores sell e-load. Just tell the tindera your number and the amount (minimum usually ₱10). They use their own phone or a loading app to send it to you.
- Globe Stores / Smart Stores — Visit an official store for help with loading and promo registration.
- Bayad Center, Cebuana, Palawan Express — These remittance centers also offer load purchasing services.
Tip: At sari-sari stores, the seller sometimes adds a small markup (₱1-2) on top of the load amount. This is normal — it's how they earn from selling load.
-
Load via Pasaload / Share-A-Load
Pasaload lets you transfer load from your phone to another phone on the same network. This is useful when someone nearby has extra load and you need some urgently.
Globe Pasaload:
- Dial *143# and select "Pasaload"
- Enter the recipient's number and the amount (minimum ₱2)
- A ₱1 service fee is deducted from each transaction
Smart Share-A-Load:

- Example: LOAD 25 09171234567
- Minimum ₱2, and a ₱1 service fee per transaction
Note: You can only pasaload/share-a-load within the same network (Globe to Globe, Smart to Smart). Cross-network pasaload is not available.
-

Mag-load via Retailer o Convenience Store
Kung mas gusto mong magbayad ng cash, pwede kang bumili ng load sa alinman sa mga lugar na ito:
- 7-Eleven, Ministop, FamilyMart — Sabihin sa cashier ang number, network, at halaga. I-process nila ito sa POS system nila. Instant ang pag-dating ng load.
- Sari-sari stores — Karamihan ng mga tindahan sa kapitbahayan ay nagbebenta ng e-load. Sabihin lang sa tindera ang number mo at ang halaga (minimum karaniwang ₱10). Gagamitin nila ang sarili nilang phone o loading app para i-send sa iyo.
- Globe Stores / Smart Stores — Bumisita sa opisyal na store para sa tulong sa pag-load at pag-register ng promo.
- Bayad Center, Cebuana, Palawan Express — Ang mga remittance centers na ito ay nag-o-offer din ng pagbili ng load.
Tip: Sa sari-sari stores, minsan nagdadagdag ang nagbebenta ng maliit na markup (₱1-2) sa halaga ng load. Normal ito — ganito sila kumikita sa pagbebenta ng load.
-
Mag-load via Pasaload / Share-A-Load
Ang Pasaload ay nagbibigay-daan sa iyo na mag-transfer ng load mula sa phone mo patungo sa ibang phone sa parehong network. Kapaki-pakinabang ito kapag may kakilala kang may sobrang load at kailangan mo agad.
Globe Pasaload:
- I-dial ang *143# at piliin ang "Pasaload"
- Ilagay ang number ng tatanggap at ang halaga (minimum ₱2)
- ₱1 service fee ang ibabawas sa bawat transaction
Smart Share-A-Load:
- I-text ang LOAD [halaga] [number ng tatanggap] at i-send sa 808
- Halimbawa: LOAD 25 09171234567
- Minimum ₱2, at ₱1 service fee bawat transaction
Tandaan: Pwede ka lang mag-pasaload/share-a-load sa loob ng parehong network (Globe to Globe, Smart to Smart). Hindi available ang cross-network pasaload.
-

Pro Tips
Mga Payo
- Always register for a promo instead of using regular load for calls and data — promos give you 5-10x more value per peso.
- Use the network's official app (Globe One, My Smart) to see exclusive promo bundles not available via text.
- Stack promos wisely — some promos can be layered (e.g., a call promo + a separate data promo). Check the terms before registering.
- Load from GCash on the 15th and 30th — these are common promo days when GCash offers cashback on load purchases.
- Set a data limit warning on your phone (Settings > Mobile Data > Data Warning) to avoid running out of data unexpectedly.
- Keep at least ₱1 of regular load at all times — some emergency services and registration texts require regular load, not promo credits.
- Palaging mag-register ng promo imbes na gumamit ng regular load para sa calls at data — nagbibigay ang promos ng 5-10x na mas maraming halaga bawat piso.
- Gamitin ang opisyal na app ng network (Globe One, My Smart) para makita ang mga exclusive promo bundles na wala sa text.
- Mag-stack ng promos nang matalino — ang ibang promos ay pwedeng i-layer (hal., call promo + hiwalay na data promo). Tingnan ang terms bago mag-register.
- Mag-load mula sa GCash tuwing ika-15 at ika-30 — ito ang mga karaniwang promo days kung kailan nag-o-offer ang GCash ng cashback sa pagbili ng load.
- Mag-set ng data limit warning sa phone mo (Settings > Mobile Data > Data Warning) para maiwasan ang biglang maubusan ng data.
- Mag-iwan ng kahit ₱1 na regular load sa lahat ng oras — ang ibang emergency services at registration texts ay nangangailangan ng regular load, hindi promo credits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mga Madalas Itanong
What's the cheapest data promo in 2026?
For Globe/TM, GOSURF15 (₱15 for 300MB, 2 days) is the cheapest data promo. For Smart/TNT, GIGA25 (₱25 for 1GB, 2 days) offers the lowest entry point. However, the best value per peso is usually the 7-day promos like GIGA99, which give you the most data for the price. DITO tends to offer the most data overall, with their ₱99 promo giving 10GB for 7 days.
Ano ang pinakamurang data promo sa 2026?
Para sa Globe/TM, ang GOSURF15 (₱15 para sa 300MB, 2 araw) ang pinakamurang data promo. Para sa Smart/TNT, ang GIGA25 (₱25 para sa 1GB, 2 araw) ang pinakamurang entry point. Gayunpaman, ang pinakamainam na halaga bawat piso ay karaniwang ang 7-day promos tulad ng GIGA99, na nagbibigay ng pinakamaraming data para sa presyo. Ang DITO ang karaniwang nag-o-offer ng pinakamaraming data sa pangkalahatan, na may ₱99 promo na nagbibigay ng 10GB para sa 7 araw.
Can I pasaload from Globe to Smart (cross-network)?
No. Pasaload (Globe) and Share-A-Load (Smart) only work within the same network — Globe to Globe, Smart to Smart. If you need to send load to someone on a different network, use GCash or Maya instead. Both e-wallets let you buy load for any network regardless of your own SIM.
Pwede ba akong mag-pasaload mula Globe patungo sa Smart (cross-network)?
Hindi. Ang Pasaload (Globe) at Share-A-Load (Smart) ay gumagana lang sa loob ng parehong network — Globe to Globe, Smart to Smart. Kung kailangan mong magpadala ng load sa isang tao sa ibang network, gumamit ng GCash o Maya sa halip. Pareho nitong e-wallets ang nagbibigay-daan sa iyo na bumili ng load para sa kahit anong network anuman ang SIM mo.
Can I convert load to GCash?
There is no official way to convert prepaid load back to GCash or cash. Once load is added to your SIM, it stays there. Some informal "load buyers" on social media offer this service at a steep discount (e.g., they'll give you ₱80 GCash for ₱100 load), but this is risky and not recommended. The best approach is to use your load by registering for promos or making calls/texts. If you regularly end up with excess load, consider switching to buying smaller denominations.
Pwede ko bang i-convert ang load sa GCash?
Walang opisyal na paraan para i-convert ang prepaid load pabalik sa GCash o cash. Kapag naidagdag na ang load sa SIM mo, nandoon na iyon. May ilang hindi opisyal na "load buyers" sa social media na nag-o-offer ng ganitong serbisyo sa malaking diskwento (hal., magbibigay sila ng ₱80 GCash para sa ₱100 load), pero mapanganib ito at hindi recommended. Ang pinakamainam na diskarte ay gamitin ang load mo sa pamamagitan ng pag-register ng promos o pagtawag/pagtext. Kung palagi kang may sobrang load, isaalang-alang na bumili ng mas maliliit na denominations.
How do I check my remaining data?
Globe/TM: Text DATA BAL to 8080, or open the Globe One app to see your data, load, and active promos. You can also dial *143# and navigate to My Account.
Smart/TNT: Dial *121# and select "My Account" to check data and promo status, or use the My Smart app.
DITO: Open the DITO app — your remaining data is displayed right on the home screen.
Paano ko i-check ang natitirang data ko?
Globe/TM: I-text ang DATA BAL sa 8080, o buksan ang Globe One app para makita ang data, load, at active na promos mo. Pwede mo ring i-dial ang *143# at pumunta sa My Account.
Smart/TNT: I-dial ang *121# at piliin ang "My Account" para i-check ang data at promo status, o gamitin ang My Smart app.
DITO: Buksan ang DITO app — nakadisplay ang natitirang data mo sa home screen.
