Are there places at Ninoy Aquino where to purchase a Globe prepaid SIM? My plane arrives at 22:00, so this might be too late. Any recommendations are welcome.

Does Globe's prepaid program have access to GPRS and WAP?

Thanks.

Actually, any prepaid SIM recommendation at the airport is welcome... does not have to be Global.
(I read somewhere in ESATO that SUN provides free GPRS at the moment).

Thanks.

You can get prepaid cards almost anywhere. Just ask around.

Sun's GPRS is not free but it's cheaper.

I ended up purchasing a globe SIM card from the car rental office right across the street on the arrivals floor. PHP400.
