Pasaload used to let eligible Globe/TM prepaid users share regular load with another prepaid number. Today, the safest approach is to treat old SMS and *143# pasaload as legacy options and use direct loading through GCash, GlobeOne, online banking, or an e-load retailer when the old methods fail.
Important update before you try pasaload
Old Globe/TM SMS and USSD pasaload methods may no longer work for many users. The commonly reported legacy format was PASALOAD RecipientNumber Amount sent to 808, often with a reported ₱1 service fee and typical range of ₱1 to about ₱150. If it fails, use GCash, GlobeOne, online banking, or an authorized e-load retailer instead.
Quick Steps: How to Send Load to TM
| Method | Best for | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| GCash Buy Load | Most convenient current option | Recipient number and GCash balance |
| GlobeOne or online loading | App-based loading | Internet and payment wallet/card |
| Retailer/e-load store | Cash loading | Recipient number and cash |
| Legacy SMS / *143# pasaload | Only if still available on your account | Registered prepaid SIMs, enough balance, and current service availability |
TM Pasaload and Loading Methods
Method 1: Use GCash Buy Load
- Open GCash and tap Buy Load.
- Enter the recipient’s 11-digit TM or Globe prepaid number.
- Choose regular load or an available promo.
- Review the number, amount, and promo details.
- Confirm payment and wait for the SMS confirmation.
Method 2: Use GlobeOne or Online Loading
- Open GlobeOne, your bank app, or another trusted loading app.
- Enter or select the recipient prepaid number.
- Choose regular load or a promo.
- Pay using the available payment method.
- Ask the recipient to check balance after confirmation.
Method 3: Load Through a Retailer
Give the recipient number to a trusted sari-sari store, convenience store, or authorized e-load retailer. Verify the number before paying.
Method 4: Legacy SMS or *143# Pasaload
If your account still supports legacy pasaload, older guides commonly list the SMS format as PASALOAD RecipientNumber Amount sent to 808. Some users also used *143# when the menu still showed a share-load option. These methods may fail if Globe/TM has removed or restricted the service for your account.
Fees, Amounts, and Limits
- Legacy pasaload was commonly reported with a ₱1 service fee when available.
- Commonly reported transfer amounts were around ₱1 minimum and about ₱150 maximum per transaction.
- Sender and recipient should both have registered SIMs under the Philippine SIM Registration Act.
- Pasaload is for TM or Globe prepaid numbers; Globe postpaid numbers cannot receive prepaid pasaload.
- Promo data, freebies, borrowed load, or bundled allocations may not be transferable.
Why TM Pasaload Fails
| Problem | Likely reason | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy SMS pasaload fails | Old service may be discontinued or restricted | Use GCash, GlobeOne, online banking, or an e-load retailer. |
| *143# has no share-load option | USSD menu has changed | Use direct loading through an app or retailer. |
| Insufficient balance | Not enough regular load for amount and fee | Check your balance first, then load more if needed. |
| Invalid recipient | Wrong, inactive, unregistered, or postpaid number | Confirm the 11-digit prepaid number before resending. |
| Service unavailable | Temporary network or account restriction | Use GlobeOne/GCash direct loading or contact support. |
Safety Reminders Before Sending Load
- Double-check the recipient number before confirming.
- Do not share OTPs, GCash MPINs, PINs, or account codes with anyone claiming they need them for pasaload.
- Keep confirmation texts until the recipient confirms receipt.
- Use official apps or trusted loading channels only.
- For account problems, contact TM/Globe support instead of strangers online.
FAQs
Can I pasaload from TM to Globe?
Traditional pasaload was generally for TM and Globe prepaid numbers because TM operates under the Globe network. It does not apply to Globe postpaid accounts, and current availability depends on Globe/TM’s active service rules.
Can I pasaload to a Globe postpaid number?
No. Pasaload or prepaid sharing is for prepaid numbers. A Globe postpaid account should be paid through postpaid bill payment channels.
Can I send promo data as pasaload?
Usually no. Pasaload is normally for regular prepaid load. Promo data, app freebies, borrowed load, or bundled allocations may not be transferable.
How do I check if pasaload or load was received?
Wait for the sender confirmation SMS, then ask the recipient to check balance. They can use TM balance inquiry methods such as *143#, GlobeOne, or SMS balance checks.
