GigaRoam, a data-packed service for prepaid and postpaid subscribers, provides up to 15 GB of data for specific regions or countries, offering affordable and flexible options to keep travelers connected. Here are three reasons why GigaRoam is a must for your holiday travels:
1. It’s Smooth: Book Your Roaming Pack In Advance
Avoid last-minute travel hassles by purchasing your GigaRoam pack ahead of time. Much like how flights can be conveniently booked online nowadays, Smart enables you to choose and buy your preferred data roaming service, which will only activate as soon as you land on your destination. This means no more scrambling at airports to search for ways to connect online, and no more stressing on whether there’s available connectivity options in your destination. With GigaRoam, you can set up your roaming even weeks before you leave home so you can focus on the joy of the season.
2. It’s Seamless: Stay Connected Non-Stop
From busy airports to picture-perfect destinations, GigaRoam lets you stay connected online so you can share your memorable moments on social media, check weather and flight updates in real time, and coordinate with your loved ones for last-minute pasa-buys or pasalubongs. Moreover, you can enjoy 5G speeds with Smart’s 173 roaming partners in 92 destinations around the world, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
3. It’s Safe: Keep Your Data Secure
By purchasing your GigaRoam pack, you avoid the risks associated to public WiFi or third-party apps, such as unauthorized access to your banking apps or social media accounts. You can enjoy peace of mind that your personal data and digital information are secure, wherever your holiday adventures take you.
On the other hand, RoamLite is a budget-friendly plan for those on short trips that includes up to 200 MB of data, as well as text and call services in select countries.
