Available Load Packages
Smart and TNT offer a variety of load borrowing packages designed to meet different communication needs. Let’s explore these options in detail and learn how to manage your borrowed load effectively.
Text Message Packages
The most basic package starts at ₱4, giving you 3 texts to Smart/TNT numbers. This is perfect when you need to send a quick message to family or friends who use the same network. The validity is 24 hours, so make sure to use it within a day.
For those who need to text different networks, the ₱5 all-network package is ideal. It provides 5 texts that you can send to any mobile number in the Philippines. This package is particularly useful when communicating with friends using Globe, TM, or other networks.
The ₱7 package offers the best value for Smart/TNT users, providing 9 texts within the network. This is great for group projects or when you need to coordinate with multiple people on the same network.
Call Packages
The basic call package costs ₱6.50 and gives you 1 minute of voice calls to Smart/TNT numbers. While this might seem short, it’s enough time to relay urgent messages or set up important meetings. Additional packages include:
Internet Data Packages

These packages help you stay connected to social media or send important emails when you’re out of regular data.
Checking Your Balance
Managing your borrowed load is crucial to avoid accumulating debt. For Smart users, texting “SOS BAL” to 7676 instantly shows your current borrowed amount and due date. TNT users should text “SAKLOLOAD BAL” to the same number.
Note: You can’t borrow multiple packages simultaneously, but you can choose the most suitable one based on your needs. For example, if you need both texts and calls, it’s better to load regular credit instead of borrowing.
How to Pay Back Your Borrowed Load
The repayment process is automatic. When you reload your phone next time, Smart or TNT will automatically deduct the borrowed amount. You can also choose to pay early by texting “PAY” to 7676.
Conclusion
Load borrowing is a handy feature that can help you stay connected during emergencies. Just remember to keep track of your borrowed amount and ensure you have enough balance on your next reload to cover it.
