Take Control of Your DITO Mobile Load What Are the Benefits of Using Prepaid SIM Cards

Introduction

Our trusty mobile phones have come a long way. These mobile devices used to have small monochromatic screens and were primarily needed to text and call (and play simple games every now and then). Today, they’re basically handy and “smart” gadgets that can do almost anything: monitor your health, tell you the weather, schedule your day, you name it!

Smartphones are still powerful communication devices needed to form connections with friends, loved ones, work colleagues, and acquaintances. But to be able to enjoy your smartphone's text, call, and mobile data features, you need to put a SIM card in it. Major telecommunications networks like DITO Telecommunity offer prepaid and postpaid plans, and it’s up to you to choose which one is right for you.

Prepaid might be better if you want a flexible option. Topping up your SIM card isn’t a problem these days because DITO subscribers in the Philippines can buy prepaid load online. Read the rest of this article and learn more about the practical benefits of choosing prepaid.

 

Practical Reasons To Subscribe to Prepaid Plans

There are many reasons to subscribe to prepaid promos. Here are a few examples:

Affordable Load Promos  

Prepaid plans feature an array of affordable load promos designed to cater to various communication needs. At DITO, we have:

  • Level-UP Packs – One of our most affordable prepaid promos, our Level-UP Packs, provide subscribers with unli texts to all networks, unli calls to fellow DITO users, 300 minutes of calls to other networks, and an ample amount of mobile data. These plans start at ₱99 and are valid for 30 days with data roll-over options.
  • Data Sachets – Our Data Sachets are the perfect option if you just need mobile data. They are bite-sized promos that provide you with 5GB of mobile data for just ₱50.
  • App Boosters – With our App Boosters, you can get 7GB of mobile data to access specific apps. They are perfect for everyone, especially gamers, small business owners, and working professionals.
  • Unli 5G – If your phone is 5G-compatible, our Unli 5G prepaid promo can be an excellent option. These plans provide users with access to our 5G networks (available in select locations around the country), unli DITO-to-DITO texts and calls, and 300 minutes of calls to subscribers of other networks.

Regular load is also an option. A single text costs ₱1, no matter if the recipient uses DITO or other networks. DITO-to-DITO calls cost ₱6.50 per minute, while calls to other networks and landline numbers cost ₱7.50 per minute.

Easy Online Top-Up

Of course, you can still visit a nearby local or convenience store to top up your prepaid SIM card. However, for convenience, you can also buy prepaid load online. You can do so effortlessly using DITO App, MyDITO website, and other digital platforms. This eliminates the need to visit physical shops, helping you save time and offering a hassle-free reloading experience.

Multiple Payment Options

If you decide to top up your mobile load online, there are multiple payment options. You can pay using:

  • DITO Rewards Points – You earn points every time you reload using the DITO App. These points can be exchanged for other load promos once they accumulate over time.
  • Regular Load – The DITO App monitors your regular load balance. If you have enough, you can convert it to other promos.
  • Credit Card or Debit Card – If you are trying to buy load using online shopping platforms or the MyDITO website for online reloading, you can settle your dues using your credit or debit card.
  • Online Bank – You can buy DITO prepaid load using the BPI app. Once the transaction is complete, the amount will be charged automatically to your account.
  • E-Wallet – If you are buying load using GCash, Maya, AliPay, or any other e-wallet, the amount will be deducted from your account balance right away.

 

Easy Budgeting

Apart from affordability, flexibility is another reason prepaid plans are popular. Users can choose from various promos, making it easier to create a budget based on how much they usually spend on mobile load every month.

Additionally, since users pay for services upfront—through physical shops or online platforms—there are no bill shocks at the end of the month. This setup encourages mobile phone users to stay within their budgetary constraints and avoid overspending.

No Lock-In Period

Postpaid plans come with lock-in periods. It depends on the plan, but the contract can last between six months and two years, and during this period, you are prohibited from switching to prepaid or downgrading to a more affordable postpaid promo.

Prepaid subscribers do not experience this problem. These plans have no long-term commitments, so users can choose different prepaid promos based on their needs.
