It's a bit hard to find serious people for even small tasks in PH.

Dear all,

 

It's a bit hard to find serious people for even small tasks in PH.

Some members of this forum are reliable.

 

I am going to need someone to send me a SIM Card to my address in Europe so i can activate the sim card before i fly to PH.

 

Maybe something else like this might be needed in the future.

I will transfer some money for the favor.

 

Can you or someone you know assist me with this if i need?

 

Please let me know.

A simple google search will provide a large number of online Philippines SIM cards including Amazon.

Why would you need to activate it or need a SIM before arriving? You can get one at the airport on arrival. You will need to register it at the time you purchase. If you're a tourist it's only good for 30 days. If you have a Filipina waiting for you then best to get her to buy it and register in her name. When you arrive, you can just install it.

Unless Im missing the point here? 

Other option is this, https://www.globe.com.ph/international/traveler-sim#gref  , eSIM

Most of them are temporary for holidays.
I need a permanent one.
I am searching for an option and checking eSIM cards.

When you arrive at the airport you may buy yourself a SIM card it's fast and easy.

A SIM must be registered in your name. Were you aware of that?

I need to activate it in my bank account before leaving my country, so i can do banking operations in the Philippines without roaming charges.

Okay, thanks for the clarification! 

There are topics covering this issue if you ask this in the Banking section. There are several ways to go about that.

No. Why is that?
Last SIM i bought here in europe did not require name.

Yes, its a new regulation and I don't like it at all. Much too intrusive in my opinion but we must follow laws in Philippines.

My idea with the thread is finding someone reliable i can count with for mailing me the sim card.
Can you do it? 
Or can you recommend someone who can mail me the sim card?
