In July 2023, Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) rocked the boat by introducing the Philippines’ first-ever Prepaid embedded SIM, aka eSIM. Well, guess what? They’re keeping the momentum going by making prepaid and postpaid eSIMs super easy to snag through digital delivery.
Now, here’s the sweet deal: all you gotta do is hop over to the Smart Online Store (https://store1.smart.com.ph/sims), place your order, and boom! Your eSIM lands right in your email inbox, ready to roll.
Once that eSIM is yours, simply scan the QR code, activate it, and bam! You’re surfing the web, chatting up your pals, and making calls on Smart’s top-notch mobile network.
The best part? You don’t need to juggle a bunch of apps or payment methods. The Smart Online Store is a breeze to use on your mobile or web browser, and they take payments through Maya, GCash, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, JCB, SPay, and DragonPay. Choices galore!
But wait, there’s more! Smart isn’t just stopping at digital delivery. They’ve got your back if you’re old-school and want a physical card. You can find these in airports, Smart Stores, flagship Lazada and Shopee stores, and other trusted retailers. Postpaid users, you’re not left out either – Smart Stores nationwide have your eSIMs ready and waiting.
Alex O. Caeg, Head of Consumer Business – Individual at Smart, is all smiles about it, saying, “We are glad to blaze the trail for the Philippines’ first Prepaid eSIM,” and he’s stoked about giving users flexibility in how they want to get their eSIM and pay for it.
Now, let’s talk about what you’re getting with these eSIMs. The Smart Prepaid eSIM is a steal at Php99, packing 21 GB of data, 30 minutes of All-Net Calls, and 100 All-Net Texts. Stay connected from the get-go!
If you’re into postpaid, Smart’s got you too, starting at SIM-Only Plan 999, with 5G goodness, All-Net Calls and Texts, Landline Calls, and a Netflix Mobile Plan subscription for a whole year. Score!
And hey, compatibility is a breeze. These eSIMs play nice with Apple, Google, Huawei, Samsung, and more. No need to fret about SIM slots or physical cards.
Oh, and multi-account folks, rejoice! If you’ve got an iPhone, you can easily switch between accounts with the eSIM. Talk about convenience.
Travelers, this one’s for you too. Inbound tourists and returning OFWs can order their Smart Prepaid eSIM ahead of time and activate it upon arrival. That means local rates, not those pesky roaming charges.
Now, let’s talk green. Smart’s not just about tech; they’re all about sustainability. These eSIMs are part of their eco-friendly game plan. Fewer plastics and electronics are used in production, which means less waste. Plus, digital delivery reduces their carbon footprint. Way to go, Smart!
