There’s a vendo machine at the Shaw Blvd MRT station that allows users to load any pre-paid cellphone.
They call the vending machine “iLoad”. It’s has a touch screen, full-color monitor. It has a slot to accept paper bills and coins, similar to the vendo coke machines. I’m not sure if it dispenses change, but it probably does.

I tried out the vending machine, and it’s rather intuitive. You select the type of cellphone load you need (Smart, Globe, Sun), select the amount, enter the cellphone number of the recipient.
After entering the cellphone number, there’s a little delay. I initially got the impression the system verifies whether the cellphone number exists or whether it matches the prepaid card chosen. But after entering a couple of random cellphone numbers, I’m rather convinced that there’s no verification involved at this stage.
After getting the cellphone load info, the machine asks for your money. I don’t own a pre-paid cellphone. So I never really tried entering any money. But the paper bill slot is very similar to those in softdrink vendo machines.
What can we do with these vendo machines? How can they be improved?
First thing that comes to mind: these machines could be extended to load G-Cash or Smart Money. This gives m-commerce an additional way of bringing in m-cuurency into the mobile commerce network.
There is maintenance involved for these machines. Somebody needs to retrieve the cash in these machines every so often.
Nice gadget to have. I’m sure it can make the revenues needed to keep it running. But nothing spectacular yet. Let’s see how this vendo machine will evolve. I’m looking forward to this vendo machine catering to many more pre-paid products in the future.

Hi sir, I’m a college student and want to know how to construct e-loading vendo machine.. Can you help me please???? Pm me @ rollyusher@yahoo.com
I have made another one pero nasa US PTO pa at nasa RP Patent office pa ung innovated Vending machine for eload. Kaso smart lang ang ginamit ko kasi naka tie up ako sa kanila. 25 THOUSAND PESOS lang ang total expense namin. Texas instruments ang ginamit naming microcontroller at assembly programming. Ilalabas namin sa market once na nagrant na fullt ang patent namin.. reinellcunanan08@gmail.com…
WE also made another vending machine fo e loading only. 10 peso up to 500 peso. But We proritize ung brya barya lang. Hindi touch screen ung ginamit namin kundi LCD 4 lines with keypad. We designed our own circuit at ako nagprogram embedded assembly using TI or Z8 encore. pwede na rin ang PIC 18F. Sir, eto po ang email add ko if you are also interested.25 thousand lang po ung nagastos namin. Nasa US PTO at RP patent office ung samin kaso di pa narerelease. Kami rin po ung gumawa ng electronic drug test kit..

I suggest you already release your product since similar products have already been in the market a couple of years now. Your patent will be rejected or will have no “teeth” since it’s already been made. Fyi. Unless your protecting yourself from Smart
…which is good.
ahm.. could anyone pls help us on our thesis?.. we have problem regarding bill validator.. are there any product available locally?.. how much will it cost?.. please enlighten us about the product..
tnx guys..

hi po??? this vendo machine is very interesting…kaso may ilang bagay akong di maintindihan masyado eh… ano ba ang kinicater ng machine na ‘to? ano yung talagang itsura nya? i mean the prototype…can you help me? i need further explanation… we’re doing almost same project po kasi… vendo machine na card ang magiging pang trigger sa halip na coin… Probably…may program sya… thanks! If you don’t mind..kindly send the informations at my #…09092231507. Thanks again! God bless!
hindi ko na po kasi mababasa ang ibang comments dahil very limited lang ang time namin…
oh sorry! i misunderstood the project… ang samin po kasi, parang vendo coke machine sya..kaso sa halip na coin nga yung gagamitin, we make it a card…which function like a load card… may load yung card and then yun yung gagamitin mo para makapagdispense… bawat bili mo ng product nababawasan yung load mo..obviously may balance inquiry sya! Microelectronics ang balak naming gamitin… can you help us.. patulong naman kami sa mechanical part…thanks!
ka edong ask ko lang po kung ano yung mga hardware n ginamit dyan sa iload vendo machine..kukuha lang po kmi ng idea..salamat
ka edong ask ko lang po kung anu ano yung mga ginamit na hardware sa iload vendo machine na ginawa nyo at kung magkano po yung mga yon?kc po kukuha lang po ako ng idea para dun sa thesis namin..tnx po
ka edong
There are 2 was to build this prepaid loading machine, 1) is using a simple pc with cellphone to send the customer data, the cellphone number and load to the network provider; or 2) a pc with internet connection and sending the data to an online prepaid loading gateway. I think its very doable with VB. Im not sure about the money scanner though. you will have to accept coins and paper money.
ANG DAMI MONG GUSTO! IKAW NALANG KAYA GUMAWA!
hi. patulong naman po sa thesis, same concept kaso vendo carger lang po sya by using fingerprint security, if may idea po kau about dat, i will be a great help po smen. salamat..
