PLDT Telpad gets an “App-grade” with TelMeHow

 Tomorrow’s landline for today’s home just got an “app-grade”.

PLDT’s revolutionary tablet landline and multimedia gadget now comes with its own, exclusive application (app)—TelMeHow.

TelMeHow is an educational online companion and an accessible source of easy-to-follow, useful knowledge ideal for pursuing special interests, developing new skills or simply bonding with loved ones especially during this summer vacation.


The app hosts several categories that family members can engage in, such as cooking, fashion, travel, photography, first aid, sports, music, language and fitness, among others. These categories offer “how-to” content in various forms—instructional videos, photos and supplementary content. This exclusive Telpad app features popular experts in its various categories.

For instance, for the cooking category, food connoisseur Erwan Heussaff demonstrates how to cook while photos of the finished product, as well as the written version of the recipes, tips and ingredients, are also available. The cooking section highlights recipes from Erwan’s personal culinary archives such as the super simple burger recipe, grilled stuffed calamari and cheese and mushroom rolled pizzanitos.

With today’s generation of tech-savvy and proactive teens, TelMeHow provides an avenue for fun learning and for discovering wonderful things right inside the comforts of home. It is in line with PLDT Home Business’ essence of providing the strongest connections at home, with Telpad and TelMeHow fulfilling that brand promise.
