Asia - Manila area phone numbers for internet access

I'll be at a conference center in Tagaytay City. Are Manila access numbers considered local or long distance?

I am not absolutely certain, but Tagaytay is a different area code (46) from Manila (2) so I'm guessing that it's NDD (i.e. non-local). But note also that many (most?) hotels charge for local calls in the Philippines if I recall correctly.

why would you want to use a manila access number? most if not all locally sold cards permit local access.

Because my ISP has Manila numbers but nothing for Tagaytay City.

although i haven't been to tagaytay city in 2 years, i'm almost positive you can buy a number of access cards there for p100 or even p50 (the same goes for almost everywhere i've traveled down there).

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

How do these access cards work? I've never used one before.

-you can buy them at lots of places, including grocery stores, convenience stores, cell phone shops, and street stalls.
-quality varies widely between cards
-most cards are pretty straight-forward

good luck

Am I correct in assuming the card gives you a local access number and a certain amount of minutes to be online?
