    Travel Smart-er: This new eSIM app saves you time, hassle, and pesos abroad

    No more airport SIM scavenger hunts. No more public WiFi roulette. Just seamless travel connectivity in 80+ countries, for as low as ₱40 a day.

    Nothing kills vacation vibes faster than landing in a new country and realizing you’re offline, lost, and at the mercy of airport kiosk prices or sketchy public WiFi.

    Smart Communications has heard your travel woes and launched something refreshingly practical: Smart Travē (pronounced TRAV-ie), a new eSIM app designed to make roaming a lot less stressful and a lot more budget-friendly.

    Be it a business trip, a long-overdue revenge vacation, or your 17th K-pop fangirl mission to Korea, Smart Travē keeps you connected in over 80 countries. No SIM swapping required.

    What is Smart Travē?

    It’s a downloadable app (available now on Google Play and Apple App Store) that lets you:

    • Browse eSIM data packages
    • Purchase prepaid connectivity
    • Instantly activate data access on your phone
    • Pay using your preferred method (yes, including your mom’s credit card)

    And the best part? You don’t need to be a Smart subscriber to use it. The app is open to all users with eSIM-compatible phones.

    How cheap is cheap?

    Depending on your destination, you can score data packages starting at $4.50 for 7 days or around ₱40 per day.

    That’s less than the cost of a tall coffee at the airport. You’ll have enough data to book a Grab, translate unfamiliar menus, call your Airbnb host, check into your flight, or just flex your sunset view on Instagram Stories.

    Where can you use it?

    Everywhere from Hong Kong to Hungary. Smart Travē covers go-to destinations like Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the US, UAE, and more, as well as off-the-beaten-path gems like Albania, Morocco, Iceland, and Uzbekistan.

    A smart move for Smart

    With this launch, Smart is stepping up their game in the global roaming space. Offering a fuss-free alternative to traditional SIM swaps and pay-per-megabyte horror stories. It’s a solid flex for a telco that’s embracing next-gen connectivity and the realities of post-pandemic, app-powered travel.

    TL;DR for Smart Travelers:

    ▪️No more swapping SIMs
    ▪️Works in 80+ countries
    ▪️Starts at ₱40/day
    ▪️Doesn’t require you to be a Smart user
    ▪️Travel-ready in minutes

    Smart Travē is now available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. To learn more, head to https://smart.com.ph/World/trave.
