Smart Expands 5G Home WiFi With Flexible Postpaid Plans
Plug-and-Play Internet for the Modern Household
Let’s be honest—most people don’t want to deal with the hassle of wired installations. Waiting for technicians, drilling holes in walls, and untangling cables feels like a throwback to the early 2000s. That’s why Smart Home WiFi’s new 5G postpaid plans are such a big deal. They’re designed for families, small businesses, and even renters who want fiber-fast speeds without the mess. Smart Expands 5G Home WiFi With Flexible Postpaid Plans
The beauty here is the plug-and-play setup. You get a 5G modem, plug it in, and you’re online. No waiting, no construction, no headaches. For a country where mobility and convenience are everything, this is a practical solution that finally makes sense.
Plan 999: Affordable Power with Flexibility
The entry-level Plan 999 is built for budget-conscious households that still want serious data. For ₱999 a month, you get 200GB of 5G data with rollover. That means if you don’t use it all, it carries over to the next month.
Here’s the kicker: if you burn through your allocation early, Smart throws in an extra 2GB of daily bonus data until your billing cycle resets. That’s a clever way of making sure you’re never completely cut off.
The modem requires a one-time cashout of ₱995, which is reasonable considering the speeds you’re getting. And if you need more, there are BOOSTER+ add-ons:
- ₱99 for 1GB
- ₱399 for 12GB
It’s flexible, affordable, and perfect for households that want control over their data usage.
Plan 1499: Unlimited 5G for Heavy Users
For those who can’t live without constant connectivity, Plan 1499 is the obvious choice. It comes with unlimited 5G data and a free 5G modem. No caps, no rollovers, no worrying about running out of bandwidth in the middle of a Zoom call or Netflix binge.
This plan is ideal for small businesses, work-from-home professionals, or families with multiple devices streaming at once. And with speeds of up to 600 Mbps, it’s not just fast—it’s competitive with wired fiber connections.
More Than Just Internet
Both plans support up to 40 devices simultaneously. That’s enough for a household full of smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and even IoT gadgets like security cameras or smart speakers.
Smart also offers a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re not happy with the signal, you can return the device within the trial period. Plan 999 subscribers even get a full refund of their device cashout. That’s a level of consumer protection you don’t often see in the telco industry.
And then there are the perks. Postpaid subscribers earn GigaPoints through the Smart App. Pay your bill in full and on time, and you get 5% cashback in GigaPoints, which can be redeemed for promos and rewards. It’s a small but meaningful way of rewarding responsible customers.
The Bigger Picture: Bridging the Digital Divide
Smart isn’t just selling internet here—it’s pushing a vision. As Marjorie Garrovillo, First Vice President at Smart Communications, put it, the goal is to bridge the digital divide. With over 450,000 subscribers nationwide, Smart Home WiFi already leads the fixed wireless access segment. These new plans are about expanding that reach even further.
And honestly, this matters. In a country where not everyone has access to fiber, 5G wireless is the bridge. It’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t require the same infrastructure investment as laying down fiber lines. For underserved communities, this could be the difference between being connected and being left behind.
My Take: Why This Works
I’ve seen plenty of internet plans that look good on paper but fall apart in practice. What makes these Smart Home WiFi plans different is the balance of flexibility and reliability.
Plan 999 is perfect for households that want affordability without feeling restricted. Plan 1499 is a no-brainer for heavy users who just want unlimited everything. Both plans are backed by Smart’s 5G network, which, in my experience, has been steadily improving across Metro Manila and beyond.
For readers, the benefit is simple: you get fiber-like speeds without the fiber hassle. Whether you’re a student attending online classes, a freelancer juggling clients, or a family streaming multiple shows at once, these plans are designed to keep up.
And let’s face it—being able to connect up to 40 devices at once means you can finally stop arguing over who’s hogging the WiFi. That alone might be worth the subscription.
The Future of Home Connectivity
The launch of these new postpaid plans signals a shift in how we think about home internet. It’s no longer just about speed—it’s about convenience, flexibility, and inclusivity.
Smart Home WiFi is betting big on 5G as the future of connectivity in the Philippines. And if these plans are any indication, that future looks fast, flexible, and surprisingly affordable.
