As I have blogged a few days ago I bought EyesMobile prepaid card at an Asian Store even though I don’t know how to use it, it should not be my first time if I didn’t return the prepaid card I bought a month ago in Itaewon. Yeah right, when my husband and I went to Seoul to eat lunch as a birthday treat for me I also took the chance to buy load at the phone store in  Itaewon exit 3.  I was handed a prepaid card, while waiting for the train and looking to the card configuring how to use it, I realized that there’s really no way I can use it so I run quickly to exit 3, luckily I was not charged again on my subway card.

When I reached the phone store I am literally chasing my breath and I can’t speak so I just do sign language and create sounds. I think the older male felt slighted and told me to speak because he can understand English. So I did, and after which I was gasping for air, releasing the pressure in my chest.  Haha, anyway the load was sent directly to my mobile phone after the young female call someone.

The other day, I decided to use the prepaid card but I don’t know how to activate the card number so I dialed the Customer center for foreigners (080-807-1234) written at the back of the card, I pressed 2 for English and so on. I was able to speak to Customer Representative and share my ordeal, I was asked if I want a  recharge, I replied yes and was asked for my mobile number twice because I took long time to respond as I am digging for my card number in my wallet.

One thing I learned from calling the customer service is they call load as recharged.  In the Philippines we normally call it load or reload, now I learned that if I dial the customer service again I will pressed 2 for English and then pressed 1 for recharged.

The other day I went to downtown to do overseas transfer from my husband Korean account to his account in Canada.  I can’t do anymore excuses not to do it because I have done it once, the bank was not full so I took the chance to get new bank book as his bank book was already finished. I am able to get one but of course not able to sign the bank book as my husband’s owns it.  Transferring money overseas is easy I can do it in the ATM machine in just few clicks.  After transferring money overseas I went to the family owned supermarket to buy frozen chicken breast and headed directly to bus stop, I went to Asian store just beside it and bought some Filipino treats on my husband’s permission, I already asked him before going to downtown to let me spend ₩10,000 of goodies in-exchange of not buying groceries (for me) on shopping day.

I only bought few sardines, water turnips and pancit bihon. I also look for prepaid card and I was glad to find EyesMobile prepaid card because it only means I don’t need to go to Itaewon just to buy  a load. I bought one prepaid card for ₩10,000 despite the fact that I don’t know how to use it, I just thought I’ll figure it out when I already need to use it.  The EyesMobile prepaid card can only be used in Korea, US, Japan, China, Russia, Mongolia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Honestly, I would like to buy a card that I can use to call Philippines but I can’t find a TNT prepaid card, and I am not sure if I  can use the other cards in Korea so I just stick to Eyes Mobile because the sim card that was given to me when I bought a phone is also EyesMobile plus my friend had told me that when I buy a load I should tell that my card is EyesMobile because there are different type of load/card.
