Smart has enhanced its Philippine Tourist eSIM offering with unlimited data access for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and foreign tourists visiting the Philippines.
The upgraded eSIM package, priced at PHP 1,599, provides unlimited data along with unlimited local calls and texts, valid for 30 days. For the budget-conscious, Smart still continues to offer a PHP 599 option that includes 24 GB of data and unlimited local calls and texts to all networks, also valid for 30 days.
Accessibility and Convenience
The Smart Philippine Tourist eSIM is available via the Smart Online Store and select Smart Stores across the Philippines. The eSIM format eliminates the need for physical SIM card swapping, allowing for a streamlined activation process for travelers.
Network Coverage and Features
Smart’s mobile network infrastructure covers 97% of the Philippine population, for widespread connectivity throughout the country. Visitors to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig can experience Smart 5G Max, offering enhanced upload and download speeds with ultra-low latency.
Travel Benefits
Travelers can utilize the Smart eSIM for various purposes, from exploring urban areas and remote islands to booking tours and posting social media updates. The service enables tourists to maintain connectivity even across popular destinations, including Boracay’s beaches, Palawan’s lagoons, and Manila’s historical sites, all while avoiding expensive roaming charges.
