Smart prepaid subscribers can now conveniently switch their physical SIM to an eSIM without changing their number—the first service of its kind for prepaid customers in the Philippines.
Embedded SIM or eSIM is the digital version of the physical SIM. It offers a quick and easy way for mobile users to enjoy data, call, and text services without inserting a physical SIM card into their device. Because it’s digital, the eSIM is much easier to activate, manage, transfer, and secure from damage compared to a physical SIM.
“Now, Smart Prepaid subscribers may upgrade their physical SIM to an eSIM for only P99 by simply presenting their physical SIM and any valid government ID at the nearest Smart Store,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, Head of Prepaid at Smart.
On the other hand, non-Smart subscribers can swap their physical SIM for a Smart Prepaid eSIM—for free. They need to get their Unique Subscriber Code from their current network provider and submit necessary documents—such as a valid government ID, a screenshot of their current balance, and a signed application form—to the nearest Smart Store.
Smart Signature subscribers and Smart Infinity members may upgrade to an eSIM by simply heading to any Smart Store.
Meanwhile, non-Smart postpaid customers may switch to a Smart Postpaid eSIM by obtaining their Unique Subscriber Code from their current network provider and then submitting the required documents to the nearest Smart Store.
The Smart Prepaid eSIM is compatible with eSIM-capable devices, such as the latest flagship handsets of Apple, Google, Huawei, and Samsung, among others.
