Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year in the Philippines. It’s a special occasion that brings people together, and our homes and streets are all decorated to ring in the holiday season. We also get plenty of visitors who want to see the Philippines all lit up with Christmas lights and holiday cheer. After all, Christmas is one of the biggest holidays we celebrate here!
If you’re visiting the Philippines this holiday season and are planning to stay for a little while, investing in a good SIM or mobile network would really come in handy. Whether you’re making the trip to visit relatives and reconnect with loved ones or seeing the sights, it’s good to have a SIM you can use for making calls, texts, and getting data to use the Internet on your phone when you’re on the go.
Before, you would have to open the back of your phone to swap SIM cards when you visit another country, but now you can use eSIMs, which are way more convenient to get and use. If your device is eSIM-compatible, you can use an eSIM to activate a cellular plan without buying a physical SIM card.
Having an eSIM is useful when traveling, but depending on where you get the eSIM, it can have limitations. For example, some eSIMs sold in travel stores only offer data connectivity that you can use in the Philippines, but don’t cover services for calls and texts. Postpaid plans are just not practical if you’re only visiting the country and roaming rates are more expensive compared to availing data offers and packages from a local network provider in the Philippines. Therefore, so having a local eSIM that can cover data and calls and texts would be the most practical option.
The Smart Prepaid Philippine Tourist eSIM offers an affordable solution to your connectivity needs. This Prepaid eSIM has the same preload value as regular Smart Prepaid SIMs with up to 21 GB data for only PHP99. With it, you can enjoy Smart Prepaid’s offers and local services like data, calls, and texts, and find the right offer or data bundle that suits the duration of your trip. Whether you’re making calls and texts to plan meet-ups with friends and family, or using data to check Google Maps for the next place to visit for your sightseeing itinerary, you can do it all with a Prepaid eSIM powered by the country’s best mobile network as recognized by global analytics firm Ookla.
The Smart Prepaid Philippine Tourist eSIM is easy to avail and use. You can purchase the eSIM on the Smart Online Store and instantly activate the QR code that will be sent to your verified email. Depending on your device, you can also add multiple eSIM profiles and have up to two mobile numbers at a time if needed. You can also get the eSIM from Smart booths in international airports in the Philippines. The Smart booths also accept credit card payments.
Aside from the Smart Prepaid Philippine Tourist eSIM, you can also avail of Smart’s Unli 5G + Non-Stop Data. Whether you’re planning to stay for just a week or a whole month, Smart’s latest offer provides you with Unlimited 5G data and Non-Stop Data for non-5G areas for 7 days for only Php299 (or ~$5-6) or 30 days for only Php999 (~$17-18), depending on which data promo you get you get.
