Here are some of the popular and funny text jokes circulating around the web and across mobile phone networks.  Enjoy!

When a pretty woman passes, nine out of ten men imagine somethin. The wise one is doin something.

We always try to do something that cannot be done, for the simple reason that we are fools.  Of all the things that look impossible, the one I always try is forget you...only to learn I am not able to.

The past we try to forget, the present we try to let pass, the future we try to reach. It is a good thing we just try, or else we'd end up nowhere.

A girl phoned me the other day and said..."Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home.

Birdy birdy in the sky, left a poopie in my eye. Me don't care, me don't cry, me just happy that cows can't fly!

It's important to find a man who has money, a man who adores you,a man who is great in the sack. It's also imprtant that these 3 men should never meet!

Finally, the National Telecommunication Commission or NTC has issued a memorandum circular that lets prepaid cellular phone subscribers enjoy their load longer.  In fact, a prepaid load of more than P300 is now good for four months.

Under Memorandum Circular No. 03-07-2009, mobile phone operators are required to extend the validity period of prepaid load of subscribers and allow subscribers to accumulate prepaid credits.  A P10 load of prepaid credit is now good for three days while a load amounting to more than P10 to P50 is valid for 15 days.  A load of over P50 to P100 is good for 30 days or a month.

A load of more than P100 to P150 should be good for 45 days; over P150 to P250 for 60 days or two months; over P250 to P30 for 75 days; and over P300 for 120 days or four months.

Has anybody heard about this promo of Red Mobile, a unit of Smart Communications, which offers video and call rates of as low as 50 centavos per minute.  Come to think of it, this rate is even lower than the P1 regular cost of text messages.  

Well, in its publicity campaign, Red Mobile, which is previously available only on the third-generation or 3G network, now offers its service on second-generation or 2G, which means that it will use the nationwide network of Smart Communications for voice and text services. 

Mr. Danilo Mojica, head of Smart's wireless consumer division, said that by expanding the service of Red Mobile to include 2G network using the cell sites of Smart, more people can take advantage of Red Mobile's offering.  Mr. Mojica said only 10 million handsets, representing 15 to 20 percent of the total mobile phones in the Philippines, are 3G capable, while the rest are 2G capable.

It is election time and some politicians are now busy knocking on the door of telecom companies for attention.  Mobile phone operators such as Smart and Globe Telecom are the most profitable companies today, no question asked, and politicians look at them as milking cow this election campaign season... Which turned out to be beneficial to subscribers, ironically.

How, you may ask.  Well thanks to politicians, there is now an effort to make telecom companies more accountable for missing load, which were paid for by subscribers with hard-earned money that a decade ago was spent for food and education.  Now, people waste their money on value added services, such as downloading mobile games or joining online contests for a prize that are actually forms of gambling.

Finally, a consumer group, had the galls to file a class suit before the National Telecommunication Commission or NTC, against the country's three major mobile phone operators for allegedly robbing subscribers of millions of pesos in the form of vanishing electronic load.
