Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

the " pinoy sm " that you are asking
is the " Smart Pinoy Sim " ?

for " Smart Pinoy Sim " , the answer is YES !

you can use it in the Philippines like any other ordinary Sim.

-----

" Smart Pinoy Sim " compare with other ordinary Simcard is just more convenience to the users that going abroad ( Overseas ) by pre-activated International Roaming service;

the Ordinary sim are not pre-activated for International Roaming, but you still can activate it for the service of International Roaming like the " Smart Pinoy Sim " .

aside from this, there's Nothing much different for
" Smart Pinoy Sim " with Ordinary Simcard

but because of " Smart Pinoy Sim " is pre-activated for International Roaming service, you need to de-activate it first before you use in the Philippines.

if not,
you will be charge as " International SMS " when using SMS,
and are not able to use " voice call " service here in the Philippines.

-----

for ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION PROCESS :

To disable the service,
just text “ROAM OFF”
and send to 333 in order to use the SIM in the Philippines.

To activate your voice roaming service,
just text ROAM ON < country of destination>
and sending to 333 one hour before leaving the country
