How to Pasaload TM to TM or Globe: Smart, or TNT (2026 Guide)

Running out of load at the wrong moment happens to everyone. Whether you’re trying How to pasaload TM to TM, send load from TM to Globe, or figure out if you can pasaload TM to Smart or TNT, this guide covers every method that actually works in 2026, plus the ones that don’t anymore, so you stop wasting time on dead SMS codes.

Quick answer: TM’s original Pasaload (Share-A-Load) via SMS and *143# was officially discontinued by Globe on December 1, 2022. If you’re still trying the old text codes and getting no response, that’s why. The good news: you can still send load to a TM, Globe, Smart, or TNT number today using the GlobeOne app, GCash, or a load retailer. We’ll show you exactly how, network by network.

How to Pasaload TM to Globe or TM Smart or TNT (2)

What Happened to TM Pasaload?

TM (Touch Mobile) is Globe’s sister prepaid brand, so it follows Globe’s rules for load sharing. The classic Pasaload system, texting an amount to a changed number, or dialing *143# and picking “Share-A-Load,” was shut down by Globe on December 1, 2022, as part of a wider security push tied to SIM registration.

Why this matters: A lot of sites (and old forum threads) still describe the *143# and SMS steps as if they work today. They don’t, and following them just wastes your time and a text message. What replaced it isn’t a “transfer” anymore. You (or a family member abroad) buy load directly for someone else’s number through GlobeOne or GCash, and it lands in their account almost instantly.

The core rules haven’t changed much:

Load can only move between numbers on compatible networks (more on cross-network below).
Only prepaid numbers can receive shared load. Postpaid accounts are excluded.
A small service fee usually applies, except when you’re simply buying load outright through an app.

How to Pasaload TM to TM

Since TM runs on Globe’s network, sending load from one TM number to another TM number uses the same tools Globe subscribers use.

1. Using the GlobeOne App

This is the official, most reliable method in 2026.
Download GlobeOne from the Play Store or App Store and register using your TM number.
Log in and tap Shop on the dashboard.
Select Buy Load (or a specific promo if the recipient wants data/texts instead of load).
Enter the recipient’s TM mobile number carefully. Double check every digit.
Choose the load amount (₱10–₱150 is typical for regular load denominations).
Confirm payment using GCash, a linked card, or your GlobeOne wallet balance.
Why this matters: The load isn’t coming out of your own balance. It’s a fresh purchase, paid separately. That’s the key difference from the old Pasaload system, and it’s why there’s no more “insufficient balance” error unless your payment method itself is short.

2. Using GCash

f the recipient doesn’t have GlobeOne set up, GCash covers the same ground.
Open the GCash app and log in with your MPIN.
Tap Buy Load on the home screen.
Enter the recipient’s TM number.
Pick the load amount or a specific promo.
Confirm. The load is deducted straight from your GCash wallet balance.
Tip: GCash is often faster to set up than GlobeOne if you already use it for bills or transfers.

3. Load Retailers (Offline Option)

If neither app is an option, visit any authorized load retailer or sari-sari store with a loading terminal.
Tell the vendor you want to load a TM prepaid number.
Give the exact 11-digit number.
Specify the amount.
Pay in cash and confirm the amount on the receipt or confirmation SMS before you leave.

How to Pasaload TM to Globe (and Globe to TM)

Because TM and Globe share infrastructure, sending load between them is identical to the TM-to-TM process above. You’re just entering a Globe number instead.

Open GlobeOne or GCash.
Tap Buy Load / Shop.
Enter the Globe number you’re sending to (or the TM number, if going the other way).
Select the amount or promo.
Confirm payment.

Why this matters: There’s no separate “TM to Globe” mode. The apps treat Globe and TM numbers the same way under the hood, since they’re on one shared network. This also answers a common question: yes, pasaload from Globe to TM and TM to Globe both work through the same two apps, with no extra steps.

Important: The recipient’s Globe number must be prepaid. Postpaid Globe accounts cannot receive shared load or app-based load top-ups the same way.

How to Pasaload TM to Smart or TNT (Cross-Network)

This is where most guides fall short, and where a lot of search traffic actually lands, based on how often people ask about sending load between TM and Smart or TNT.

Short answer: You cannot pasaload directly from TM to Smart or TNT. Globe and Smart are separate telecom networks (Globe/TM vs. PLDT-Smart/TNT), and neither supports direct load-sharing across that divide, not through *143#, not through 808, and not through any official app.

If you need to send load across networks, your only real options are:

1. GCash (Cross-Network Buy Load)

GCash isn’t tied to one network, so it’s the simplest cross-network fix.

Open GCash and tap Buy Load.
Enter the recipient’s number. GCash auto-detects whether it’s Globe, TM, Smart, TNT, DITO, or Sun.
Choose the amount or promo.
Confirm and pay from your GCash balance.

2. Retailer / Autoload Max Terminals

Most sari-sari stores and loading centers use multi-network terminals (Autoload Max, M Lhuillier, etc.) that can load any Philippine carrier, including Smart and TNT, regardless of what network you’re on.

Note: If you’re a Smart or TNT user trying to send load to a TM number, the same rule applies in reverse. Smart’s own Pasaload (via 808) only works within the Smart/TNT/SmartBro ecosystem. Cross-network always requires GCash or a retailer.

How to Share Data Instead of Load (Surf4All)

If the person you’re helping needs internet more than call/text credit, Globe’s Surf4All promo is a better fit than buying them load outright.

Activate a Surf4All promo (e.g., Surf4All 99) on your own TM or Globe number. This gives you a shareable data pool for a set number of days.
Open GlobeOne and tap Group Data or Add Member.
Enter the TM or Globe number of the person you want to share with (up to 4–5 members depending on the promo).
Set how much data to allocate to that member.
Confirm. They’ll get a notification once their share is active.

Tip: Surf4All only works between active TM/Globe numbers. It cannot share data with Smart, TNT, or other networks.

Comparison Table: Choosing the Best Method

Method	Works For	Speed	Convenience	Notes
GlobeOne App	TM ↔ TM, TM ↔ Globe	Instant	High	Official app, most reliable
GCash	TM, Globe, Smart, TNT, DITO, Sun	Instant	High	Best for cross-network
Load Retailer	All networks	~1–2 min	Medium	Good if no app/data access
Surf4All (Data)	TM ↔ TM, TM ↔ Globe only	Instant	Medium	Data only, not load
Old SMS / *143#	None — discontinued	N/A	N/A	No longer functional since Dec 2022

So, GCash is the best method overall if you regularly send load across different networks, while GlobeOne is best if you’re staying within the TM/Globe family and want the official app experience.

Fees, Limits & Validity

Service fee: Buying load through GlobeOne or GCash typically has no extra “sharing” fee. You’re simply paying for the load itself, sometimes plus a small transaction fee depending on your payment method.
Amount range: Regular load denominations bought for someone else usually range from ₱10 to ₱150 per transaction on the apps, though retailers can go higher.
Validity: Regular load bought through GlobeOne or GCash follows standard Globe/TM validity rules. Standard load has 365 days validity, though specific promos (like EasySurf or Surf4All) keep their own shorter validity periods.
Daily limits: There’s no fixed daily cap when you’re simply buying load through an app, since you’re not “sharing” your own balance anymore. The limit is really just your payment method’s balance.

Why Your TM Pasaload Isn’t Working

Common Issues & Solutions

You’re using the old SMS or *143# method
These were discontinued in December 2022. Switch to GlobeOne or GCash. There’s no fix for the old codes because the backend service no longer exists.

Incorrect recipient number
Double-check all 11 digits before confirming. A single wrong digit sends the load to a stranger, and it usually can’t be reversed.

Recipient’s SIM isn’t registered or is inactive
Both your SIM and the recipient’s SIM need to be active and properly registered under the SIM Registration Act. An unregistered or expired SIM will cause the transaction to fail silently or bounce back.

Insufficient GCash/payment balance
Since you’re now buying load rather than sharing your own, check your GCash wallet or linked card balance, not your phone’s load balance.

Wrong network selected
If you’re trying to send to a Smart or TNT number through GlobeOne, it will fail. GlobeOne only supports Globe/TM numbers. Use GCash instead for cross-network transfers.

App or network glitch
Wait a few minutes and retry, or switch to a stable Wi-Fi connection before attempting the transaction again.

Tips for Sending Load Successfully

Always double-check the recipient’s number. A load sent to the wrong prepaid number is nearly impossible to recover. Read it back digit by digit before confirming.
Use GCash for anything cross-network. If you’re not 100% sure the recipient is on Globe or TM, GCash removes the guesswork since it works across all networks.
Keep a buffer in your GCash wallet. Payment failures are more common than “insufficient load” errors now, since you’re paying through a wallet, not your SIM balance.
Confirm SIM registration first. If a transaction keeps failing for no clear reason, ask the recipient to confirm their SIM is registered and active.
Don’t trust old SMS shortcuts you find online. Any guide describing texting “2” plus a number to a recipient is describing a discontinued 2022 method.
Screenshot your confirmation. Both GlobeOne and GCash send a confirmation screen or SMS. Keep it in case you need to dispute a failed transaction.
Set up GlobeOne once, use it forever. Registration takes a few minutes but saves time on every future load purchase.
Check promo-specific validity. Data shared through Surf4All expires faster than regular load. Don’t assume all shared credit lasts a year.
Use retailers as a backup, not a default. They’re reliable but slower and sometimes charge a small markup versus app-based purchases.
Link a backup payment method in GCash. If your wallet balance is low, having a linked card avoids failed transactions during emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Use the GlobeOne app or GCash to buy load directly for another TM number. The original SMS-based Pasaload was discontinued in December 2022.

Gamitin ang GlobeOne app o GCash. I-type ang numero ng TM recipient, piliin ang halaga, at kumpirmahin ang bayad.

No. That method, along with SMS-based sharing, was officially discontinued by Globe on December 1, 2022.

There’s usually no separate “sharing fee.” You’re paying the load amount itself, plus any standard payment processing fee your method charges.

Standard load purchased through GlobeOne or GCash follows the regular 365-day validity rule. Specific promos may have shorter validity.

No. Pasaload and app-based load purchases only work for prepaid TM, Globe, Smart, or TNT numbers.

The most common causes are an inactive/unregistered SIM, incorrect recipient number, insufficient payment balance, or attempting an unsupported cross-network transfer.

No. Once confirmed, the transaction is final. Always double-check the number and amount before confirming.

Yes. Both your SIM and the recipient’s SIM must be registered and active under the Philippines’ SIM Registration Act.

Yes. Use Globe’s Surf4All promo through GlobeOne to share a data pool with up to 4–5 TM or Globe numbers.

Any active, registered prepaid TM or Globe subscriber can buy load for another prepaid number using GlobeOne or GCash.

Final Thoughts

The name “Pasaload” still sticks around in everyday conversation, but the mechanism behind it changed completely back in December 2022. If you’re trying to help someone out today, skip the old SMS codes entirely. GlobeOne is the best choice for staying within the TM/Globe family, and GCash is the best choice the moment Smart, TNT, or any other network is involved. Both take under a minute once you’ve got them set up, which is really the whole point of Pasaload in the first place: getting someone connected again, fast.
