Mar 4, 2013
Filipinos that are working and living abroad today enjoy a privilege that are not present before- that is the presence of modern technology that made communicating across the distance so much easier. Still, in spite of the many ways to bridge the distance nowadays, voice calls remains a favorite form of communication. Nothing beats hearing the voice of your loved ones but many are careful in using this form of communication because they are concerned about expensive international call rates.
Fortunately, part of Sun Cellular International Services is the Sun Todo IDD tawag which allows anyone from the Philippines to call their loved ones in select destinations abroad for as low as P2 per minute. This service is open to all Sun prepaid subscribers. It is also available to all FLP/Easy line subscribers. Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs ) about this OFW product from Sun Cellular:
