    Finally, a cell phone

    That's… a phone

    With rates as low as $3.75 per week ！

    “Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids ！ The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive… and the'contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now,I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. ”

    Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan，I won 't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign_so I m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

Stunning Hotels in Manila

The Henry Hotel Manila

With its garden pool and fence, "The Henry" is typical as a holiday resort — except it's in Pasay City. Grab a book from the library, relax outdoors on the chairs or try a classic Filipino (菲律宾的) breakfast: longganisa sausages or milkfish with fried eggs and garlic rice.

Price: from 7,500PHP (£99).

Admiral Hotel Manila-MGallery

The hotel is known for its art decoration style. The rooms are rich in hard lines and brass fixtures(黄铜夹具). For the best sight, head upstairs to Admiral Club. If you want to experience more, head downstairs to Ruby Wong's for some drinks and Filipino-Chinese food.

Price: from 7,600PHP (£137).

King's Hotel

Newly built in 2022, King's Hotel has all the features you'd expect from the Europe-based brand, including facilities from IKEA. In the hotel, guests can have an interesting outlook: the space is a glass-structured wonder, with stylish hanging lights and wooden art works.

Price: from 12,700PHP (£229).

Shangri-La at The Fort

It's all charm at the Shangri-La, lifts with hanging lights and in-room lights as bright as in a mall. Yet, it all fades in comparison to what's outside: the hotel's 576 guest rooms include floors 18-40 of a 755-foot-high building, giving visitors an unlimited view over the Bonifacio Global City district.

Price: from 15,500PHP (£270).
