How to Pasaload TM to Globe or TM
Before we get into the steps, there’s something important you should know upfront: the classic pasaload method most guides describe, sending load straight from your own balance using *143# or an SMS keyword, no longer works. Globe discontinued that feature back in 2022. This guide covers what actually works today, so you don’t waste time on a method that’s been gone for years.
What Is TM Pasaload?
Pasaload, also called Share-A-Load, originally referred to sending a portion of your own prepaid load balance to another TM, Globe, or even TNT number using a text command or the *143# menu. It was a common way for people to help out a friend or family member who ran out of load without them needing cash on hand.
The important update: this specific version of pasaload, where you send from your existing balance, is no longer available. What people now call “pasaload” is really about buying fresh load for someone else’s number using your own money through an app, which works differently but achieves the same result.
Why *143# and SMS Pasaload No Longer Work
Globe announced that Share-A-Load and Share-A-Promo services for both Globe and TM were discontinued starting December 1, 2022. This means dialing *143# and choosing a share-a-load option, or texting a load-sharing keyword to a shortcode, will not work anymore, no matter how many old guides still describe the steps.
If you’ve tried this and gotten an error or no response, that’s not a bug on your end. The feature itself was removed. Globe’s own current help content only describes loading through the GlobeOne app, GCash, and other purchase channels, with no mention of the old *143# sharing menu.
How to Send Load to a TM or Globe Number Today
Here’s what actually works if you want to get load onto someone else’s TM or Globe number right now.
Using the GlobeOne App
Open the GlobeOne app and go to the Shop or Buy Load section. Enter the mobile number you want to load, whether it’s your own or someone else’s, choose the amount or promo you want to send, and complete the payment. The load gets credited directly to that number. A popular call-and-text option to send is TM Combo 10.
Using GCash
Open GCash and tap Load. Choose the load category and select Globe or TM as the network. Enter the recipient’s mobile number, pick the amount, and confirm payment. GCash itself describes this feature as letting you “buy load for yourself or a friend,” which is essentially today’s version of pasaload.
Keep in mind GCash charges a convenience fee on load purchases, and the exact amount depends on the load product and amount you choose. You’ll see the exact fee and total displayed on the payment page before you confirm, so always check that screen before completing the transaction.
Other Channels
A few other ways to load a TM or Globe number exist if the two methods above aren’t convenient for you. These include online banking apps from banks like BPI or BDO, retail apps such as Lazada, Shopee, or CLiQQ, physical call cards sold at stores, and AutoloadMax through neighborhood sari-sari stores and authorized dealers.
Requirements and Things to Know Before Sending Load
Since today’s method is really a purchase rather than a balance transfer, a few things work differently than the old pasaload. Make sure your own SIM is registered before buying load for someone — see the TM SIM registration guide.
- You need funds in your GCash wallet, linked bank account, or payment method, not leftover balance on your own SIM, since you’re buying new load rather than sending your existing one.
- You need the correct recipient number, since load sent to a wrong number typically cannot be reversed or refunded.
- A convenience fee usually applies through GCash, varying by the amount and load product selected, and it’s shown clearly before you confirm the purchase.
- There’s no published fixed daily limit on how many times you can buy load for another number through GlobeOne or GCash, unlike the old share-a-load feature which had its own transfer limits. Your practical limit is really just your available GCash or bank balance.
Common Problems When Sending Load
Wrong Recipient Number
Double check the number before confirming, since a load purchase sent to the wrong number is usually not recoverable.
Insufficient Balance
Make sure your GCash wallet or linked bank account has enough funds to cover both the load amount and the convenience fee.
App or Network Errors
If GlobeOne or GCash won’t process the transaction, check your internet connection, update the app to its latest version, or try again after a few minutes.
Trying the Old *143# Method
If you’re dialing *143# expecting a share-a-load option and getting nothing, that’s expected since the feature was discontinued in 2022. Switch to GlobeOne or GCash instead.
Tips for Successful Load Transactions
Always confirm the recipient’s number with them directly before sending, especially if it’s a new or unfamiliar number. Check the total cost, including any convenience fee, before confirming payment. Keep your transaction receipt or confirmation screenshot in case you need to follow up with GCash or Globe support about a failed transaction.
Conclusion
The pasaload most people remember, sending load straight from your own balance through *143# or SMS, stopped working when Globe discontinued it in December 2022. Today, sending load to a TM or Globe number means buying it fresh through the GlobeOne app or GCash, using your own money rather than your existing balance. Once you know this, the process is still quick and simple, you’re just using a different door to get there.
