How to Pasaload Smart and TNT in 2025 | Easy Guide for Filipinos
Pasaload in Smart and TNT is a service that lets you share mobile load with friends and family in just a few seconds. In the Philippines, this feature is widely used because many people rely on prepaid load for calls, texts, and data. When someone runs out of balance, Pasaload becomes a quick solution that helps them stay connected without delay.
In 2025, Smart and TNT have kept this service active, making it easier for subscribers to send load using simple text commands or apps like Smart App. This article explains what Pasaload is, how it works for Smart and TNT users, and the exact steps you need to follow to send load successfully.
What is Pasaload in Smart and TNT?
Pasaload is a feature that allows Smart and TNT subscribers to transfer prepaid load from one number to another. It works like sending a small gift of balance that the receiver can use for calls, texts, or mobile data.
This service is popular in the Philippines because many people depend on prepaid credits for daily communication. Instead of buying new load cards or visiting a retailer, subscribers can instantly share balance with family or friends who need it.
Pasaload can be used by Smart Prepaid, Smart Postpaid, and TNT customers. The process is fast and works across both networks, which means a Smart user can send load to a TNT number and the other way around.
How to Pasaload Smart and TNT through SMS in 2025
To Pasaload from a Smart SIM in 2025, you simply send a text message with the correct format to share your load. The process works for both Smart Prepaid and Smart Postpaid users, but the steps differ slightly.
If the Pasaload option is not available, you can use a load loan instead. For details, check my other post where I explain how to borrow load in Smart.
Steps to Send Load from Smart and TNT Prepaid
- Open the messaging app on your phone.
- Type PASALOAD (space) recipient’s number (space) amount.
- Send the message to 808.
Example: To send ₱50 to 09191234567, type PASALOAD 09191234567 50 and send to 808.
After sending, you will receive a confirmation text. The receiver also gets a message that the load has been credited to their account.
Pasaload from Smart and TNT Postpaid to Prepaid Numbers
Smart Postpaid subscribers can also share load, but the amount sent will be charged to the monthly bill instead of being deducted from prepaid credits.
- Open the messaging app.
- Type PASALOAD (space) recipient’s number (space) amount.
- Send to 808.
Example: If you want to send ₱30 to 09081234567, type PASALOAD 09081234567 30 and send to 808.
A text confirmation will arrive, and the transferred amount will appear on the recipient’s balance instantly.
Pasaload Using Other Methods
Aside from text messaging, Smart and TNT subscribers can send load through mobile apps or at load stations. These options give more flexibility and are useful when SMS is not convenient.
Using the GigaLife App
- Download and open the GigaLife App from Google Play or the App Store.
- Log in with your Smart, Smart Bro, or TNT number.
- On the bottom menu, tap Pasa.
- Add the recipient under Favorites or enter the mobile number manually, then tap Continue.
- Choose between Pasa Points or Pasa Load.
- Select the amount you want to transfer.
- Pasa Points denominations: ₱5, ₱10, ₱20, ₱30, ₱50, ₱100.
- Pasa Load denominations: ₱50, ₱100, ₱200, ₱300, ₱500, ₱1,000.
- Tap Confirm to complete the transaction.
Note: Each transaction has a ₱1.00 service fee. For Smart Postpaid users, this fee is added on top of the monthly bill.
Pasaload via Retailer SIM or Load Station
Another way to send load is through a retailer SIM or load station. These are available in sari-sari stores, convenience shops, and phone kiosks nationwide.
- The retailer enters the recipient’s number and the desired amount in their system.
- The load is transferred instantly, and both sender and receiver receive confirmation messages.
This method is useful when you do not have enough balance on your own SIM but still want to help someone with load.
Pasaload Rules and Limits in 2025
Smart and TNT have set clear rules for Pasaload to ensure smooth and fair transactions. Knowing these details helps you avoid failed transfers or unexpected charges.
Minimum and Maximum Amounts You Can Send
- The smallest amount you can send through Pasaload is ₱2.
- The largest amount per transaction is ₱200 when using SMS.
- For the GigaLife App, the amounts can go higher, up to ₱1,000, depending on the option you select.
- There is a limit of ₱1,000 worth of Pasaload per day for each number.
Transaction Fees
Every Pasaload transaction has a ₱1 service fee.
- For Smart Prepaid or TNT users, the fee is deducted from the sender’s load.
- For Smart Postpaid users, the fee is added on top of the monthly service fee (MSF).
Example: If you send ₱50, the recipient will receive ₱50, and you will be charged ₱51 in total.
Validity of Shared Load
The validity of the transferred load depends on the amount sent.
This means larger amounts last longer, giving the receiver more time to use the load for calls, texts, or mobile data.
Pasaload Cap Limit for Smart Postpaid
Smart Postpaid users can Pasaload, but the amount they can send is capped each month. The charges are added to the monthly service fee (MSF).
- The monthly Pasaload cap is ₱300 for most Smart Postpaid plans.
- This means you can only transfer a total of ₱300 worth of load in a billing cycle, regardless of how many recipients you send to.
- Once the cap is reached, you cannot send more Pasaload until the next billing period.
Example: If you send ₱100 three times in the same month, you will hit the ₱300 limit. Any attempt to send more will fail until your next billing cycle starts.
Common Problems and Fixes
Sometimes Pasaload transactions do not go through as expected. Most issues are caused by simple errors that can be corrected easily.
Error Messages During Pasaload
- Wrong format
- If the text format is incorrect, the system will reject the request.
- Always follow the correct format: PASALOAD (space) recipient’s number (space) amount, then send to 808.
- Insufficient balance
- If the sender does not have enough balance to cover both the Pasaload amount and the ₱1 fee, the request will fail.
- Example: If you want to send ₱20, make sure you have at least ₱21 available.
- Invalid number
- If the recipient’s number is incorrect or inactive, the system cannot process the transaction.
- Double-check the number before pressing send.
When Pasaload Does Not Work
Tips for Using Pasaload Safely
Pasaload is convenient, but you need to use it carefully to avoid mistakes and scams. By keeping a few safety practices in mind, you can make sure every transaction goes to the right person.
1. Double-Check the Recipient’s Number
Before sending any amount, confirm that the number belongs to the person you want to help. A single wrong digit can send your load to a stranger, and it cannot be reversed once processed.
Tip: Save your family and friends under “Favorites” in the GigaLife App so you do not have to type their number each time.
2. Keep Track of Service Fees and Balance
Every transaction has a ₱1 service fee. If you are sending multiple times a day, the fees can add up. Always check your remaining balance before and after each transaction to avoid failed attempts.
3. Avoid Sharing Load with Strangers
Some scams start with text messages asking for emergency load. If you receive a request from an unknown number, do not send Pasaload. Only share with people you trust.
4. Be Careful with Public Wi-Fi When Using the App
If you are using the GigaLife App, make sure you are connected to a secure network. Avoid making transactions on open Wi-Fi in public places to protect your account details.
5. Use the Correct Denominations
When using the GigaLife App, choose the right Pasaload or Pasa Points denominations. This avoids confusion and ensures the receiver gets the exact amount they need.
If none of the methods works then contact to Smart customer support for further assistance.
Conclusion
Pasaload in Smart and TNT is a quick way to share load in 2025. You can do it through SMS or the GigaLife App, with simple rules on amounts, fees, and validity.
By checking numbers carefully and knowing the limits, you can avoid errors and make sure the load reaches the right person. Pasaload remains a reliable way for Filipinos to stay connected with family and friends anytime they need it.
