Frequently asked questions
Smart has the widest nationwide coverage, especially on islands. DITO is cheapest but coverage is still expanding. Globe is excellent in urban areas.
Physical SIMs from Smart, Globe, and DITO all include call and text capabilities. eSIMs from international providers (Airalo, Nomad) are data-only.
At $47/month for unlimited data on Smart/Globe, Holafly is the priciest option but removes all data anxiety. Worth it if you work remotely or stream a lot.
