LoadXtreme's Load Wallet Bank Replenishment Update, or should I say LX Corporation

Gladly, I did check out the LoadXtreme website today.

There was a pop-up notification box informing me of LoadXtreme's new information on load wallet replenishment via banks.

Hopefully, all loadxtreme dealers & retailers get to be informed of this:

The most significant change is the account name. From Vmobile Technologies Inc. to LX Corporation. The change in company name probably required new bank accounts.

I hope that LX Corporation conduct SMS notification to all members for vital info such as this one.

My 2014 Prepaid Cellphone Strategy - Nokia Asha 501 with Sun Power Unlimited Text 200

I began 2014 with a some changes on my prepaid cellphone usage.

And in doing so, I hope that I can get the most out of my cellphone unit and the services that I avail.

Nokia Asha 501 is my daily CP.

I have decided to use my Nokia Asha 501 as my day-to-day phone and plans to give away my Nokia C2-00 to my elder brother. Then, I look into making the most out of my Nokia Asha 501 by exploring means to maximize its use. Unfortunately, updating its software can only be done via wifi. I shelled out some prepaid load just to do that.

Then, I had my Sun Cellular prepaid SIM card cut into micro-sim size. So that I can use it on my Nokia Asha 501. Sim Cut cost me another Php 100.

Lastly, I feel that I can save in prepaid by loading Sun Power Unlimited Text 200. This service offers 1000 text/SMS to other networks, 240 minutes Sun-to-Sun calls and unlimited Sun-to-Sun texts, good for one month.

Of course, I got additional savings because of VMobile's loadxtreme.

I wish that 2014 will be better mobile experience to all of us and more sales for my prepaid loading side-business. :) Type rest of the post here

Loadxtreme Online Facility Error - Secure Connection Failed

Loadxtreme's online loading facility was down a while ago, to my great disappointment.

I was greeted with a Secure Connection Failed message. Normal reaction would be closing the browser and try loading after a while. But in this instance, I read the explanation of the error and tried something that work.

To all my fellow Loadxtreme dealers and retailers out there who frequently dispense load via Vmobile's online loading facility, I can feel your frustration whenever the site is down.

For some reasons, I tried editing the URL by adding www before the domain name, loadxtreme.ph.

Thankfully, it worked! I was able to dispense load.

So, if you encounter the same problem while loading online, please try what I did. Hopefully, it would also work for you.

Vmobile Featured in Sun Business Website: What is it to US?

On the surface, it is nice to know that Vmobile got featured by an established business brand. But what does that mean to us, dealers or retailers of Vmobile?

I learned via twitter that Vmobile Technologies have been featured in Sun Business Website. Every Filipino cellphone owner knows about Sun as a mobile telco provider.

So, I browsed more to know what Sun Business is. As per its about page.

Sun Business aims to help business owners who are seeking innovative ways to reinvent themselves get more rewarding ways to gain leverage over their respective competitors. As we cater to corporate solutions, we provide a wide range of products and services that were crafted to help you with your business needs, whether small or big. Do all this and more for your business for less with Sun Business.

By making communications and operational support facilities affordable and reliable, we partner with every enterprise's vision of success. Take your business to new heights by making Sun your Pro-Business Partner today.

As I understand it, Vmobile just tapped the services of Sun Mobile with regard to the communication requirements of Vmobile's operation.

A quick check of Vmobile's website reveals no update on this regard. In fact, the Vmobile homepage does not reflect any update. It's quite a pity that Vmobile does not tap the influence of the web by providing update or even a blog.

I was hoping that Vmobile can improve its reliability in dispensing Sun Prepaid products. But it looks like the partnership with Sun Business isn't about that wish.

LoadXtreme Unavailable on December 11

I just read from Vmobile's Facebook page that LoadXtreme will be unavailable on December 11, 2011 from 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM due to the power maintenance that will be conducted by Robinsons Galleria Corporate Center Administration.

Also, I came to know about this scheduled service interruption via twitter @loadxtreme

No loading or other transactions over the LoadXtreme system will be possible during that time period. Retailers will surely be angry at the loss of revenue. LoadXtreme members that use it only for personal loading should remember to load their cellphones on Saturday.

It is only now that I learned that Vmobile is working to have its own genset for quite some time now. I just wish that goal can be achieved a little faster.

Again, I reiterate to the management that improving the system is the key for the business to flourish. Real product movement (i.e dispensing of prepaid load by dealers & retailers) will ensure LoadXtreme's existence. It can only be done if the system is regularly upgraded to be able support the growing number of dealers and retailers that dispense load daily.

Though I am no longer active finding retailers or selling prepaid load, I still long for the day when loading via LoadXtreme will be as reliable as traditional loading business.

Finding My Old Smart SIM Card For My Upcoming Nokia C2-00

I'm so hopeful of owning a Nokia C2-00 dual sim phone next month. Together with my Globe sim, I intend to use a Smart SIM on the other slot. It is easy to get a new Smart sim these days but I thought my old Smart sim would do just fine.

That is, if I find it and if my old Smart sim is still active.

I stopped using my old Smart sim when my cherry mobile C55 cellphone gave up on me early this year and forgot about it until today. Fortunately, I was able to find my C55 among my clutter and the Smart sim inside it.

I can't remember when I last loaded it. So, you can imagine my great relief to see the Smart Gold logo when I inserted it to my current cellphone - Nokia 1110.

I feel that my old Smart sim will help me be contacted by long lost friends/colleagues and former prepaid loading associates.

When I finally use that Nokia C2-00, I feel that I'm giving my friends more ways to reach me using cellphones promos they find cheaper from either Globe and Smart.

A dual sim phone is greatly advantageous for my loading business as I also offer pasaload (for Smart) subscribers and share-a-load for (Globe subscribers). Using both Smart and Globe also help this blog as I can share first-hand experience using both.

There are other advantages in using a dual sim phone as enumerated by Nokia. And today, cellphone users have a lot of choices for dual sim brands. I just really like Nokia because all my Nokia phones lasted long enough. And I expect the Nokia C2-00 to be also that durable.


My Globe and Smart sim cards are eagerly waiting their next home, the Nokia C2-00 Dual SIM phone.

What is LoadXtreme? Video Presentation

I recently noticed that Vmobile has its own Youtube Channel.

I just like to share with you a video of LoadXtreme, the one I blog about from time to time in this blog.

LoadXtreme is the universal prepaid loading platform that I use to dispense prepaid load to my own cellphone and to my prepaid cellphone customers.

Basically, loadXtreme provides me savings on my cellphone load and allow me to use it or the internet to sell prepaid products to customers.

In case, you are also interested of turning your own cellphone into a cash-saving/cash-generating gadget, just e-mail me at doms28 [at] gmail [dot]com.

LoadXtreme Error Notification - Stale Commands

I was trying to load my Smart Bro plugit via LoadXtreme a little while ago.

I composed the usual command syntax and send it to my assigned gateway.

However, it took some time more than the usual, before I finally received this LoadXtreme error notification about stale commands.

LX: LOAD command for 09996134182 sent on 03/05/2011 12:49:01 ignored as it was rcvd on 03/05/2011 13:25:12 due to telco congestion. Your Balance is XX.XX

The LoadXtreme system automatically rejects any SMS command received beyond thirty (30) minutes from the time it was sent. This system feature protects a dealer/retailer from potential loss when delivery of the SMS command suffers delay due to telco congestion.

The system then sends a notification just like the one above informing a dealer/retailer why the load did not push thru and that their loadwallet was not deducted.

Good thing, this happened to me and not with a customer.

LoadXtreme® Customer Service Hotline 311- 3000

LoadXtreme's customer service hotline number is 311-3000.

I had no choice but to seek them twice this week with regards to my load replenishment and their online loading facility glitch.

Actually, this was a rarity for me since LoadXtreme resumed operation under Vmobile.

The first was concerning loadwallet replenishment.

As the previous weekend turned out to be a long one (because Monday, November 29 was declared a holiday), I wasn't able to go to the bank to deposit for loadwallet. So by Tuesday, I really have no more prepaid load to dispense. So, I called on the customer service to facilitate the crediting of the money right after I deposited it. The one who answered me was courteous and promised to take care of it. By early evening, I have loadwallet.

My next concern was about the online loading.

Normally, after I loaded someone's cellphone using Loadxtreme's online loading, I would immediately receive an e-mail confirmation of the transaction. On this occasion, I loaded 3 different cellphone nos. successively. My clients already paid me but I just want to make sure that they receive the load on time. Since there was no e-mail confirmation, I tried to log in into my account but the database could not be accessed.

I called LoadXtreme®'s customer service hotline 311 - 3000 once more.

This time there was something new in the recording. It indicated a number corresponding to the order in which my call will be accommodated. I was the 8th caller. Surprisingly, I have a lot of patience to wait until it was my turn. I customer services representative revealed that there was indeed some technical problem and the confirmation/non-cofirmation of the transactions I am inquiring about will only be known when the problem is resolved.

Anyway, the database was restored not so long after and all is good.

My Newest LoadXtreme Retailer

Surprise, surprise! I have a new loadxtreme retailer.

I was long resigned to the fact that I'm going to use LoadXtreme for personal prepaid load savings. That is, until the topic was brought up in a casual catching up with an old friend I've never seen for quite a while. He became interested because I was able to load his CP even though we are of different mobile networks. I gave him a free loadxtreme retailer account.

I explained that a LoadXtreme retailer account allows an existing SIM to dispense or sell prepaid load to all mobile network in the country either via the cellphone itself or thru the internet.

The main advantage of course is CONVENIENCE. A loadxtreme retailer can dispense prepaid load to his own CP or others at any given time/place as long as there is cellular phone (capable of sending at least 1 text/sms) or internet access to the loadxtreme online loading facility.

The savings that can be enjoyed is normally 10% and can increase depending on the number of CPs the retailer will be dispensing prepaid load to.

If done as a sideline, earnings are the basically the same as that of traditional retailers (except the normal text/sms charge when dispensing via CP).

As I have not done so for a long while, registering an account for him took a while but went smoothly nonetheless. I even sold him loadwallet worth 300. That he can utilize to load his own CP.

The real challenge, though, is replenishing the loadwallet. He can either go to the main office, the building beside Robinsons Galleria in Edsa Ortigas, to a loadXtreme dealer like me or to selected banks ( BPI, BDO ). But his office is near a lot of banks and he enjoys internet connection at work and at home. All he needs is just some little time & effort to replenish his loadwallet.

I hope he continues to enjoy the prepaid load savings just like me.

You? Are you interested to become a LoadXtreme Retailer? Perhaps you need more information? Just e-mail me at doms28 [at] gmail dot com. ;)

VMobile Technologies Inc. @ PBEX 2010

Vmobile Technologies Incorporated - the management arm of LoadXtreme- is among the participating companies in the Philippine Business & Entrepreneur Expo (PBEX) at the SM Megatrade Hall that will run from July 22 - 25, 2010.

VMobile took over the management reins from Portal Innovations and has revived the LoadXtreme® prepaid retailing platform.

I am still using loadxtreme primarily for my personal prepaid loading needs and a little bit of sidebusiness. I am grateful that the business was revived.

I hope that the participation of VMobile in an event like the PBEX will signal to more development of the business and of course us - dealers & retailers.

The 2nd Philippine Business & Entrepreneur Expo

... the event will showcase more business-enabling products and services. From business plans to financing, marketing strategy and advisory services, this Expo will provide comprehensive yet easy to understand overview of the issues and requirements in starting or growing a business – large, medium, small or micro enterprises.

Loadxtreme's New Homepage

Loadxtreme is now sporting a new homepage.

I'm glad that LoadXtreme decided to upgrade the website. It is not only pleasing to my eye but I think more corporate looking.

This can certainly good for the business and a sign that it is evolving positively.

This one looks better but I'm quite irritated by pop-ups. Oh, well, They are just there for notifications.

I sure hope that the business will prosper and add more prepaid products. Perhaps, utility payments?
