The holiday promotion gives travelers more options for staying connected while exploring popular destinations such as Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and countries across Europe.
With selected data packs discounted, Smart Trave offers travelers a convenient way to arrange mobile connectivity before leaving the Philippines.
Smart Trave Travel eSIM Rates Start at US$3
The special Smart Trave offers give travelers access to discounted data packs for different travel needs.
Current promotional rates include:
| Data Pack | Regular Price | Promotional Price |

The 3GB pack is discounted by 42.5%, while the 10GB package is reduced by 40%. The 1GB option is designed for travelers who need a smaller amount of data for basic browsing and essential travel needs.
These options allow travelers to choose a package based on the length of their trip and expected mobile data consumption.
Connectivity Across More Than 100 Destinations
Smart Trave provides travel eSIM connectivity in more than 100 destinations, making it a convenient option for Filipinos who frequently travel overseas.
Instead of purchasing a physical SIM card upon arrival, travelers can arrange an eSIM before or during their trip, provided their smartphone supports eSIM.
Mobile data can be particularly useful when navigating unfamiliar cities, checking transportation schedules, booking rides, searching for restaurants, accessing digital travel documents, and communicating with family and friends.
Smart Support While Traveling Abroad
One feature that distinguishes Smart Trave from generic travel eSIM services is its connection to Smart’s customer support.
Travelers using Smart Trave can contact the Smart hotline for assistance while abroad.
This gives Filipino travelers an additional support channel while using their travel eSIM outside the Philippines.
Why an eSIM Can Be Useful for Travelers
For international travelers, mobile connectivity has become an important part of the travel experience.
A working data connection can help travelers:
- Navigate using online maps
- Book airport transfers and ride-hailing services
- Check flight and transportation updates
- Find nearby restaurants, attractions, and shops
- Access hotel reservations and digital boarding passes
- Use translation applications
- Stay connected through messaging and video calls
- Share photos and travel updates on social media
- Contact travel companions when plans change
For families traveling together, mobile data can also be useful when members become separated at busy airports, shopping districts, theme parks, or tourist attractions.
From Japan’s Winter to Europe’s Christmas Markets
Smart Trave’s holiday offers arrive as many Filipinos prepare for year-end international trips.
Travelers heading to Japan can use mobile data to navigate cities, check train schedules, find restaurants, and explore winter destinations.
Those visiting Hong Kong can stay connected while exploring its festive attractions and shopping districts.
Travelers heading to Europe can use mobile data while visiting Christmas markets and moving between cities.
Meanwhile, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore remain popular options for Filipinos planning tropical holidays and short regional getaways.
How to Get a Smart Trave eSIM
Getting started is designed to be straightforward. Travelers can download the Smart Trave app, choose their destination, select a preferred data package, purchase the eSIM, and activate it on a compatible device.
Using an eSIM also means travelers do not need to search for a physical SIM card after arriving at their destination.
Travelers should check their smartphone’s eSIM compatibility before purchasing and activating a travel eSIM.

According to Albert V. Villa-Real, President and CEO of PLDT Global Corporation and Head of PLDT and Smart International Business, the initiative aims to provide Filipino travelers with a more convenient way to stay connected during the holidays.
