Smart Travē eSIM rates are being reduced for Filipino travelers heading abroad during the holiday season, with Smart offering discounted data packs through its travel connectivity app. The service provides eSIM connectivity across more than 100 destinations, according to Smart, and includes access to Smart’s local customer support.
Discounted data packs
Smart’s announcement headline says the offer brings up to 43% off, while the accompanying details describe discounts of up to 40%. The listed 3GB pack is reduced to US$5.75 from US$10, while the 10GB pack costs US$12, down from US$20. A 1GB pack is also available for US$3.
The Smart Travē eSIM rates apply to data packs purchased through the app. An eSIM is a digital SIM that can be activated on a compatible device without requiring a physical SIM card. Smart says travelers can select their destination, choose a package, complete the purchase in the app, and activate the service before or during their trip.
Smart Travē is available for download through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The company positions the service as an option for Filipinos who need mobile data while traveling, including for maps, ride bookings, transportation updates, digital boarding passes, hotel reservations, translation tools, and messaging.
Smart’s examples include experiencing winter in Japan, taking in the festive lights of Hong Kong, exploring Europe’s Christmas markets, or enjoying a tropical escape to Thailand, Vietnam, or Singapore. The source describes the service as a way to navigate, share, discover, and keep in touch while abroad.
Support while abroad
Smart says users can call the Smart hotline for assistance while outside the Philippines. This support is part of the service’s positioning as a Smart-backed travel eSIM, rather than a generic travel eSIM provider. The source material does not specify the hotline number or the supported device list, so travelers will need to check the app or Smart’s website for those details.
“The holidays are a time when Filipinos look forward to traveling, reconnecting with loved ones, and creating memorable experiences wherever their journeys take them. With Smart Travē, we want travelers to worry less about connectivity and focus on enjoying the journey. By making the mobile data more affordable and convenient, backed by the support of Smart, we are giving Filipino travelers greater peace of mind to stay connected, share their experiences, and make the most of every trip,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, President and CEO at PLDT Global Corporation and Head of PLDT and Smart International Business.
Lloyd R. Manaloto, First Vice President and OIC for Smart, said, “Smart’s commitment goes beyond keeping Filipinos connected wherever they are in the Philippines. With Smart Travē, we are extending that same commitment to customers as they travel abroad, giving them access to connectivity across more than 100 destinations.”
For holiday travelers, Smart Travē eSIM rates offer data options for short trips and higher-use itineraries. Mobile data can help travelers stay connected with family and friends, access travel documents, and contact companions when plans change. For families, connectivity can also help when members temporarily separate in busy airports, tourist attractions, or shopping districts.
The listed rates and data packs are available through the app. More information is provided at smart.com.ph/World/trave. Travelers should confirm device compatibility, package terms, and current pricing before purchase.
