GLOBE GCASH allows any Globe or TM (Touch Mobile) user to send and receive money, buy prepaid load, pay bills, and do a lot of other money-related transactions, anytime, anywhere using SMS.

Di ko ma-gets ang instructions mo, bunso. so simple yet I have a hard time following. Kaya naman pala ala akong mobile phone. LOL
now this is really helpful! thanks for sharing this information.
Is Gcash available also for raoming services? I doubt it but if it does, it would be great.
I've already tried Gcash in one of my ebook purchase, It's so easy only that some attendant of the Globe Center lacks the ability to persuade their client to stay on the line while their service is not yet available,
oh Marie, read it very intently since i wonder if i can create paypal for my father in the Philippines, however, he usually resist any technology, i will share this to my niece though and let her explain to her lolo, if tatay understands or gets it, then, may have to use paypal since the transaction fee for sending money can be very disappointing. however, if he can't, i have no choice, haha. anyway, thanks for this, i know a lot others would find this very helpful too.
i am also fond of gcash and have been using it for my online purchase. Thanks for sharing :)
I have used Gcash facility a lot of times in the past especially in doing the payment for all of my online purchases.
Thanks for this wonderful piece of tutorial, Marie. It's of huge help to a lot of online buyers like me :-)
I have always wondered how Gcash works, now I have an idea....will try it sometime, thank you for this information you selflessly shared...my brother would love to use this system I'm sure...have a lovely day and do take care always :)
I have heard of GCASH when I was still in the Philippines, but it was not widely used back then. I am glad to hear that, many people are now using it to transfer money.
I hav tried gcas too. its really easy however the fees are a bit high.. nonetheless it is still a great service
