Smart Mobile is Dumb

I made the mistake of buying a music game from Playstation that can only be played if you buy a fake guitar and drums. After wasting time on their website that pretends to accept refund requests whilst giving me the run around I resigned myself to calling them. I tried putting credit on skype but there's no continue button on the final page of the payment process so I try to use my phone. Smart's website claims I can make international calls from 3cents/ minute if I pay 1cent/ day on a subscription that can be cancelled anytime. So i type in the code and it is invalid. I try to find the price without the subscription and it is a secret. I call anyway and hope I can finish up before running out of credit and a pre-recorded voice tells me they're busy and to call back later.

I had to stay up til 11pm in order to call them at 9am and they're already too busy.

Smart works on my phone. I think its quite a good deal. Try through the SmartNas app

But if not, just get a Skype subscription for about $5 a month. you may even get 1 month free trial if you've not had before

Smart are terrible. I tried paying for Skype with smartpay and they kept deducted internet til I ran too low to pay.
Never again.
Cellcard for internet. Maybe metfone or cellcard for calls

On the subject of mobile providers, can someone provide me the codes for the plans for Metfone? I entered what apparently should be the code for the one week, $1 plan, which should provide on network calls, SMS and some internet.

Then I get an SMS saying to wait for the SMS. But I never got it. It never came. Can anyone help?

OK, it turns out that it had actually started the plan for me but never sent an SMS. Problem solved!
