save your money my friend and just buy the sim card to use on your tp2. i used Globe Tattoo prepaid sim when i was there. the sim will let you use your phone as modem, if i remember correctly, for PhP5/15mins of connection. never got a chance to try it though. if you were gonna be in the region of Luzon, i would recommend Smart. not sure regarding the Visayas/mindanao region. travelled almost up to the northern tip of the Philippines to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and my Globe signal was weak majority of the time....but my nephew who uses Smart had better signal than i did. while i only got 1 or 2 bars he was getting much better signal/reception than i was. wanted to make the sitch to smart but expected important phone calls and the number i gave was the Globe number
Thanks for the info. I'm also heading over in August and wondered the same thing.
