Do you have Smart plans for the new normal?

Do you have Smart plans for the new normal?
Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications president and CEO

In the last two years, the Philippines has seen a big surge in the use of mobile Internet services and online communication has ruled our lives.

As people adjusted to the “work from home,” “study from home,” “order from home,” “stay in touch with loved ones from home” and just about everything that kept them safe in their homes, the need for ways to stay connected was perhaps the main sector that saw growth that needed to be addressed and enhanced.

Telecom companies had to keep pace with the needs of the changing times in ways that were efficient.

“It has been over a year since we launched our ‘Simple Smart Ako’ campaign and since then we have made great strides in providing our subscribers with experiences through cutting-edge technology made simple by Smart,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications president and CEO, at a Zoom launch of the latest offering from Smart. “As a service provider we have been providing excellent customer service — our North Star — I am proud to stay we have proven this in our most trying times as a nation.”

Smart has been making sure that their subscribers are able to work from home, attend online classes, take their businesses online, be entertained by their favorite apps and stay close to their loved ones — by making sure that it provides the services its clients need and want.

“Simply put, we have been keeping our subscribers connected,” Panlilio added.

To continue to be the service provider that meets the needs of its customers, Smart Communications, Inc. set the pace for 5G in the Philippines as it launched Signature Plans+, the first and only postpaid lineup in the country that features Unli 5G access for subscribers.

Aside from Unli 5G access, the groundbreaking Signature Plans+ also comes with other unlimited features for a truly worry-free postpaid experience. These include Unli Calls & Texts to All Networks, Unli Calls to All Landline Numbers, plus a 12-month Netflix Mobile Plan subscription for unlimited enjoyment of thousands of award-winning shows, series, and more.

The launch of Signature Plans+ comes on the heels of Smart’s latest recognition from Ookla, the global leader in internet testing and analysis, as the “Most Reliable 5G Mobile Operator in the Philippines.” To clinch this award, Smart obtained the highest scores for 5G Consistency and 5G Availability in the country.

“Since we became the first telco to launch our 5G commercial service, our 5G network roll efforts have been paying off,” added Panlilio. “With a string of recognitions from Ookla — more recently the firm reported Smart as the most reliable 5G operator in the Philippines — all these awards are based on real-world tests and experiences by our subscribers in their Smart phones.”

Unlock unlimited possibilities with unli 5G

“Our Signature Plan+ offers are in line with our strategic efforts to bring the game-changing benefits of Smart 5G to more Filipinos,” said Jane J. Basas, SVP and head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart. “Speed has always been vital in our increasingly digital world, and we believe that by offering an Unli 5G experience on our fastest 5G network we are enabling you to realize unlimited possibilities in your careers and passions. We’ve designed the Signature Plans+ to be simply unlimited for the unlimited you.”

With Unli 5G on the Smart Signature Plans+, subscribers can upload and download heavy work files in seconds, make crystal-clear video calls, and stream virtual seminars and classes seamlessly. Customers can also post and share their passions with the rest of the world faster and immerse in their choice of entertainment with seamless streaming and lag-free gaming anytime and anywhere.

The unlimited features of Signature Plans+ also make sure subscribers are worry-free, especially when it comes to getting in touch with loved ones, checking in with friends and colleagues at work or business, as well as making important landline calls when necessary.

Enjoy simply unlimited plans starting at P999 per month. Signature Plans+ come in four SIM-Only plans, which are all packed with bigger and better data allocation.

“Smart Signature Plans+ are designed to be simply unlimited to better enable goal-slayers to make their mark,” said Shing Dimagiba, Smart VP and head of Postpaid marketing.

For Plan XL+ at P2,499 per month, subscribers can get true Unlimited 5G and 4G data throughout their contract.

For the other plans, subscribers get Unlimited 5G data for six months plus big data allocations:  Plan S+ (P999 per month) with 20GB, Plan M+ (P1,499 per month) with 40GB and Plan L+ (P1,999) with 60GB.

On top of that, all these postpaid plans are packed with unlimited calls and texts to all networks, unlimited landline calls to all networks and a Netflix Mobile Plan subscription.

Smart will also soon provide options to pair Signature Plans+ with 5G devices through its partnerships with leading smartphone makers, including Apple, Huawei, Oppo, Realme, Samsung, Vivo, and Xiaomi, among others.

Smart Signature subscribers are also able to conveniently manage their digital life using the GigaLife App, a one-stop app that enables them to check their account details, monitor their subscription, as well as earn and accumulate GigaPoints for exclusive rewards and perks.

The launch of Signature Plans+ reinforces Smart’s position as the pioneer of 5G in the Philippines. To date, Smart has fired up over 4,000 5G sites in more than 3,000 strategic locations across the nation, making it the first, fastest, and widest 5G network in the country.
