Smart Bro LTE Home WiFi Device Price is Php 1,995 : No Installation, No Hassles

Did you know that - thanks to Smart - it's now super easy to get WiFi access in your own home?

It's true. Believe it. Lets go.

It used to be that you need to go the head office of an Internet service provider near your residence, sign papers, submit requirements, wait for the approval processes, and oversee the installation of equipment at your place before you can enjoy the service.

But now, with the all-new Smart Bro LTE Home WiFi, all you have to do is to purchase the device both via Smart Online Store or a Smart Business Center in a mall near you, load up your Smart Bro prepaid number, subscribe to a data promo, and you're good to go!

No arduous installation needed. No hassles!

Simply plug the device to an electrical outlet, choose a promo, and start surfing!

Specs-wise, Smart Bro Prepaid Home WiFi has a minimum speed of up to 512kbps, which is better than the mobile internet minimum speed of up to 48kpbps. Device also supports the 700MHz frequency for better indoor web-browsing experience.

So what makes Smart Bro Home WiFi better than your regular Smart Bro LTE Pocket Wifi, you ask? Well, three things:

1. It's two times faster.
2. It supports up to 10 devices.
3. It has wider indoor penetration that cuts through walls.

Smart Bro LTE Home WiFi is ideal for families with children who are still studying as internet connection is important these days for supplementing lessons in school -- so they can learn like never before.

I think it's also great for dormitories, small businesses, and even pads that are being rented out via AirBnB.

If you need internet in your home or office and you don't want to undergo the usual lengthy application and installation process, this great new product and service from Smart Communications is ideal for you!

You can now purchase your Smart Bro LTE Home WiFi device for Php 1,995 if you intend to use it with Smart Bro Prepaid promos. Upon activation, you will get free 10GB of data that you can use for 7 days. After that, you will have to load up and subscribe to your desired Smart Bro SurfMax promos to continue browsing the web.

Smart All Out 99 vs Giga Surf 99 : Which Smart Prepaid Data Promo is Right For You?

Smart Communications has an amazing treat for everyone as we kick off Back-to-School season here in the Philippines!

The MVP-Company has just greatly boosted the services that are bundled with some of their prepaid promos, giving subscribers even greater value for their money. Believe it!

Two offers that received a much-appreciated enhancement are Smart All Out Surf 99 and Smart Giga Surf 99!

Even before Smart improved the allocated services that we can get from these two promos, I'd been getting inquiries from my readers on which of them is better.

Well, if you also have a similar question in your mind, I made this post for you.

First, let's take a look at what each revamped Smart Promo has to offer:

From giving subscribers only 1GB of mobile data allocation and 100 minutes of calls to Smart, Talk N' Text, and Sun, the New Smart All Out 99 now delivers 2GB of data and 200 minutes of calls; Yup! That's double the allocation in those two departments. And just like before, it still gives you Unlimited Facebook access with photos and Unlimited Text Messages to all networks!

To subscribe to Smart All Out 99, just make sure you have enough load and text AllOut99 to 9999.

On the other hand, from coming with just 1.5GB of mobile data allocation with an additional 600MB for Video Streaming on Youtube, iflix, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Dubsmash, and Spinnr, the New Smart Giga Surf 99 now offers 3GB of data, Unlimited Facebook Access with Photos, Unlimited FB Messenger, and the same 600MB for video streaming!

To subscribe to Smart Giga Surf 99, make sure your load can cover it and text Giga99 to 2200.

Now, going back to the question: Which of these two Smart Prepaid Data Promo is right for you?

Well, I think that if sending GSM text messages and making calls are just as important in your life as being connected online at all times, it would make more sense for you to subscribe to All Out Surf. If you who have loved ones, business partners, or workmates who don't have social media accounts and are still relying on SMS and calls for communication, clearly, All Out Surf would be the right choice. Now, if amount of data allocation is more important to you as most of your contacts are already in social media or online messaging apps anyway and you want as much data as possible for the amount of money you spend on subscription for downloads or video steaming, Giga Surf is obviously the better choice.

Smart All Out 20 Offers Unlimited Facebook Access, Unli All-Net Texts, 20 Minutes of Tri-Net Calls, 150 MB Mobile Data for 24 Hours

"Kuya Mac, what's the most affordable prepaid promo by Smart currently that includes both Unli FB access and Unli SMS to all networks?"

That's what one of my cousins - who's also a Smart Prepaid subscriber - asked me as we were chatting casually in a wedding we both attended last week.

He's still a student so he does his best stretch his allowance all while making sure that he's connected everywhere he goes -- whether at school, on the road, or when hanging out with his friends after class.

I told him, "Try out Smart All 20. For just Php 20, you already get unlimited FB access, unli all-net texts, 20 minunits of calls to Smart, Sun, and Talk N' Text, and 150 MB of mobile all for 24 hours!"

I've been subscribing to it myself on one of my smartphones - as shown in the photo below - and I'm quite impressed with the service. I reside in Tondo and go to Makati a lot for meetings and events -- and I often get 4G+ connectivity with this promo, allowing me to browse Facebook faster while on the go. The 150 MB of mobile data is good enough for checking work emails and browsing TechPinas.com to make sure that it's running well. Of course, the bundled call and text services are also handy for staying in touch with my loved ones.

If you're interested, you can subscribe to this generous Smart Prepaid promo simply by making sure you have enough load and then texting 'AllOut20' to 9999. Try it out and let me know what you think about the quality of mobile connection as well as what all the bundled services allow you to accomplish per day.

Smart Express Call 50 Offers All-Net Calls at 1 Peso Per Minute

When it comes to expressing emotions, explaining ideas, or even just giving directions, making voice calls definitely beats sending plain text messages -- almost all the time.

The nuances of speech allow us to pack and deliver more content in a single line versus the same words in text form.

And that's reason why I totally appreciate this new prepaid promo from Smart Communications that greatly cuts down the cost of per-minute calls, making them a more viable option to just sending SMS.

Regularly, it would cost a subscriber Php 7.50 as soon as the party on the other line picks-up a call and another Php 7.50 after a minute of conversation.

But with the all-new Smart Express Call 50, both prepaid and postpaid subscribers will be able to enjoy 50 minutes of all-net calls, valid for 3 days; Bringing down the cost of calling your loved ones on any network to only Php 1 per minute!

Amazing, right?

I believe this is perfect for parents who always want to check on their kids in school or lovers who want to hear each others' voices every chance they can. It's really an ideal promo for those who want to strengthen personal ties and relationships.

Also, I think Smart Express Call 50 is great for SME business partners who often talk about their daily transactions even when they are in separate locations and even just for making calls to your UBER driver to give clear directions to your pick-up location.

Slated to be rolled out real soon, this very useful and budget-friendly promo - which will have counterparts from Talk N' Text and Sun - is in line with Smart’s goal of providing Filipinos with meaningful connections through innovative mobile products and services.

Smart GigaSurf 50 Promo Now Includes Unli-Text to All Networks

Bigger is usually better as Smart's best value data promo GigaSurf 50 now lets you text all your friends regardless of which network they are subscribed to for 3 days, unlimited!

With this offer, you get the same 1GB data allocation for all apps and sites plus 300MB more for iflix, YouTube, Spinnr, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and Dubsmash -- and - get this - Unlimited Texts to Smart, Sun, Talk N' Text, and Globe all for only 50 pesos valid for 3 days!

GigaSurf has truly come a long way since it started with BigBytes 50 that had just 350MB for 3 days superseding their own SurfMax promos back in the day. Clearly, Smart continues to improve their services and promos to meet the ever increasing digital demands of Filipinos. I'm excited to see what they have in store for all us in the near future.
