For those who are simply superstitious, forgetful or vain, SMART Infinity launches its vanity 888 series. In a recent intimate dinner at Le Soufflé Ortigas with some of the country’s young Filipino-Chinese businessmen, suave SMART Infinity product manager Tom Valderrama amazed guests by explaining how the premium by-invitation-only plan can help busy bodies in their work and family life.

Aside from VIP Customer Service with a 24-hour dedicated Infinity Account Manager (IAM), premium phone packages, exclusive privileges and invitations to SMART Infinity events, the plan has customized value-added services such as international SOS and info-on-demand menu.

The classy dinner showed just how SMART treats its special subscribers. Chef Jessie Sinchioco prepared a select menu which included Mediterranean Salad, Cream of Carrot and Pumpkin Soup, Roast Baby Lamb Leg and Grilled Chilean Sea Bass.The menu’s highlight was the delectable dessert prepared especially for the colorful occasion, SMART Infinite Indulgence, a sweet blend of fresh strawberries, white chocolate and other secret ingredients.

Anvil Club members, led by president Jeffrey Cobankiat, rushed to avail themselves of their preferred 888 series numbers. Also present were SMART Money head Dan Ibarra and SMART postpaid marketing head Jon-Jon San Agustin. SMART never fails to throw the best parties for its subscribers!

Enjoy the benefits of SMART Infinity! Enjoy life’s best!
