The Paid Cellphone Charging Station

On a recent trip to Mini Stop, I encountered this cellphone charging station that sells up to 30 minutes of charging time, for 5 pesos per 10 minutes.

This paid charging station also supports—aside from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Siemens, and Motorola phones—iPods and PSPs. Pics of the complete unit for those who continue.

    I remember encountering something similar during a trip to Davao last year in one of the malls there. :)

    There are several Nokia charging stations in Eastwood that are free. But they’re only for Nokia. And I recall seeing some charging stations in Megamall way before.

    And if I’m not mistaken, all Burger Kings here in the Philippines have free charging stations, for Nokias, Motorolas, and Samsungs.
