MANILA, Philippines - Unlocking the power of your smartphones by enjoying your favorite multimedia apps is now hassle-free with Smart’s strategic partnerships with the biggest names in digital content including the likes of Deezer, Blink, Buqo, and Google Play, as well as homegrown innovations like SPINNR, GameX and Viewstream.
“Smart is a pioneer in innovations for digital goods payments, which allow our customers to ‘live more’ by giving them a wide variety of great content they can enjoy on their phones anytime, anywhere,” said Mellissa Limcaoco, innovation and product development head at Smart.
Limcaoco said that with the continuing reduction in smartphone prices in the country, more Filipinos now have access to high-powered phones that allow them to get the best kind of entertainment on the go. But with low credit card ownership still a barrier for most users, not everyone is able to maximize the full potential of their devices.
“With Smart, these great mobile content are now within your reach. All you need is your prepaid load or postpaid account, and you’ll be on your way to binge-watching, music-tripping, or book-hoarding on your mobile phones,” she added.
Music lovers who love to get their fill of the latest tracks from their favorite artists may now enjoy SPINNR Radio, the homegrown streaming app’s latest feature, which allows free unlimited music with no subscription, no additional data charges, and unlimited skips. For greater access to stream millions of songs, create playlists, and sync music for offline playback, SPINNR allows its subscribers this privilege for only P2.50/day or P49/month. For postpaid subscribers, premium music streaming app Deezer is available for as low as P25 per day, or P250 a month charged on top of their monthly bills.
Film buffs, meanwhile, can stream the latest Hollywood movies through BLINK, starting at P60 per movie. Those who want to keep up with their favorite TV series can also do so using the BLINK app for iOS and Android. Basketball fans, on the other hand, can get into the thick of the PBA action even while they’re on the road through the ViewStream app, available for Android devices, which enables free livestreaming of the Aksyon TV and TV5 channels, where PBA games are currently being aired.
If you’re into reading books and magazines on your phone or tablet, Smart also has you covered through Buqo, the e-bookstore of Summit Media. Popular magazine titles such as Yes! Magazine, Candy Magazine, Esquire Philippines, Gadgets Magazine, Circuit Magazine, and PC Shopper, among others, can be downloaded and enjoyed on the go.
But if gaming is your cup of tea, then head on over to GameX to buy e-pins for all your favorite online and mobile games such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Ragnarok, Mercenary Online, and Blackshot, among many others. You can even load your Steam wallet using GameX e-pins! Every e-pin purchase from GameX also comes with free SMS for non-stop communication with all your gaming friends.
Smart also recently enabled its subscribers to download apps and games and do in-app purchases through Google Play using their cellphone loads, which means Android phone users can conveniently purchase and easily enjoy digital content on their phones whenever, wherever they want.
“And with our ‘supercharged’ network around the country, everyone can now lead the fully connected lifestyle with access to content such as music, videos, books, magazines, and games. And now we’ve made things even more convenient by including the ability to download Android apps and make in-app purchases from Google Play using your cellphone load. With these groundbreaking innovations, Smart is giving its subscribers more ways to truly live more,”Limcaoco added.
These services can best be enjoyed with Smart’s robust 3G and 4G mobile network, backed by more than 10,000 LTE and HSPA+ sites all around the country. For more information on these exciting mobile content available to Smart users, visit smart.com.ph.
