Mobile Suica (モバイル スイカ)

[Firipinjin]

I have been using the Suica teiki (digital train pass card) for many years until I shifted to the mobile suica last month. I love it!

I used to carry my mobile phone and suica teiki wherever I went but now only carry my mobile phone. I can ride my regular trains using my mobile suica activated phone to pass through the station gates easily. I also have the mobile suica loaded with money which i can use at any establishment with a suica touch pad to pay for goods or services.

Perhaps one of the downsides to mobile suica is if I drop, lose, break my mobile phone. I won't be able to use the mobile suica if this happens. Then again, if I lose my wallet, that's about the same effect anyway.

Paano/saan ba nagloload ng ganyan? Meron din bang PASMO version? Yan din ba yung pwedeng gamitin sa mga vendo machines?

magtatanong lang:)
Pag may load na ba yung mobile suica anytime pwede na gamitin sa mga densha? Yung sa akin ngayon suica at edy ang gamit ko. pinambabayad ko lang sya sa mga stores na pwede ang suica or edy. Gusto ko sana yung pwede rin gamitin sa densha as ticket. kasi sabi ng friend ko, Yung sa densha daw kailangan may credit card ka kasi doon na kukuhanin automatically yung bill??:confused:
paki explain naman yung mobile suica na bukod sa store na pwede sya ipambayad. pwede din kaya sa densha or train? or ibang suica naman ang application non?..:):):)

For the benefit of others not familiar to the word "Suika (http://www.jreast.co.jp/suica/about/index.html)".

Suica (http://www.jreast.co.jp/suica/about/index.html) (スイカ,) is a rechargeable contactless smart card (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_card) used as a fare card on train lines in Japan. The card is also increasingly being accepted as a form of electronic money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_money) for purchases at stores and kiosks within train stations.

At present, hindi lang within train stations na pwedeng gamitin ang suika but is also now extended to major stores in Tokyo and Kawasaki like Lazona, Sakuraya and Bic Camera.

Q: Pag may load na ba yung mobile suica anytime pwede na gamitin sa mga densha?
A: Pwedeng pambayad. Kapag card type naman ang suica mo, meron din mga designated machines sa bawat station para mag-load ng additional credit.

Q: Yung sa densha daw kailangan may credit card ka kasi doon na kukuhanin automatically yung bill?
A: Hindi totoo. Pwede kang kumuha ng sarili mong suica card doon mismo sa vending machine on train stations. Walang required id or documents. May ilang ticket machine na may english screen instructions. Kung wala naman, magpatulong lang sa mga train staff.

Kailangan lamang ang credit card kung ayaw mong mag-charge everytime na mauubos na ang credit balance sa suica card.

Q: Meron din bang PASMO version?
A: It is completely interchangeable with Pasmo card. Pwedeng gamitin ang suica card sa mga machine na tumatanggap ng Pasmo and vice versa.

This is very convinient when you are changing train platforms. Di mo na kailangan bumili uli ng ticket para sa connecting trains.

In general, gusto kong gamitin ang suica, card type or integrated on mobile phones kasi walang naiipong barya sa coin purse. Disadvantage is, wala naman akong dudukuting barya kapag bibili na ng kape sa mga vending machines na hindi suica-friendly.
