We always buy the Singtel Hello card for our filipino helper..

There's one called Hello Pinoy or something.

Singtel hello card will give you most minutes and best connection. Some neighborhood will sell a $10 card for $9 and talk time is almost an hour.

hihi,

i just bought a singtel hello card prepaid card

the person was telling me, if i use 019 to call to phi , call 8min then will have free 10 min. so it about 18 min for s$2.

havent try it out yet..

Sunshine calling card has very cheap rate too, but sometimes the connection can be a little bad. Most of the time, it's good.

so far I've tried the Home Connect Card (by the green provider) but recently I learnt that SingPost sells these type of cards too...its called SMILE...have not tried it but a $5 card can call Indo on Hp about 50 minutes...if I remember correctly.

just found out the details from singtel

using hi card to call philippine (assume calling within 8pm-8am)

1st min - 34cents/min
2nd to 8th min-22cents/min
9th to 18th min-8cents/min

so it will cost $2.68 / per 18 min .
