SMS

The Philippines is widely referred to as the SMS (i.e. texting) capital of the world. This is because ever since the advent of SMS, it has been a vital part of the Filipino lifestyle. SMS services are very common in the Philippines, from news briefs to multimedia services. Communication through SMS, also known as text messaging, was an important part of the 2001 overthrow of the Estrada government. Major telecommunications service providers expect that the number of mobile phones/subscribers will rise to 49 million, almost 60% of the population by 2005.

Calling to the Philippines

A lot of Filipinos work outside of their country and they keep contact with their families back home using calling cards to the Philippines because those are cheaper than direct calling.

Some people use e-mail or Instant messaging, but the preferred method is still the phone.

Rates: For 5 USD, a person can call the Philippines and talk for around 2 hours.(2008)

Telecommunications Regulatory Environment in the Philippines

LIRNEasia's Telecommunications Regulatory Environment (TRE) index, which summarizes stakeholders’ perception on certain TRE dimensions, provides insight into how conducive the environment is for further development and progress. The most recent survey was conducted in July 2008 in eight Asian countries, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Thailand, and the Philippines. The tool measured seven dimensions: i) market entry; ii) access to scarce resources; iii) interconnection; iv) tariff regulation; v) anti-competitive practices; and vi) universal services; vii) quality of service, for the fixed, mobile and broadband sectors.
