Innovations of “Share A Load” Services
Here in the Philippines, the pre-paid (as opposed to post paid / line subscription) business model accounts for a huge percentage in the revenue stream of telcos. Because of this, several “unique” things have developed to ensure that the inconvenience of not having any credits will not happen. One such device is the “pass a load” system where a subscriber can send credits from his or her own phone to anybody under the same telco prepaid service. This is done by registering your phone via SMS, typing out an SMS containing the indicated amount and a service number. Easy as pie.
Of course, there are some system quirks like delayed sending of credit, but essentially, the service works to the advantage of consumers who like to keep a hawk’s eye in tracking expenses.
