What’s holding you back from enjoying fast and reliable internet via Smart’s 5G network? If it’s your device, then it might be time to upgrade to a newer, better smartphone that will give you access to the best 5G coverage and availability so you can experience gaming, uploading content, and staying active on your socials on a whole different level.
Thankfully, Smart is making it easier, more convenient, and more affordable for you to upgrade your device to the best and latest on the market with the Apple iPhone 15 series, as well as upgrade to its new Prepaid eSIM.
Why upgrade your device
The more relevant question is “why not?” with all the benefits you stand to gain:
Smart’s 5G network
Upgrading to a 5G-capable device, like the iPhone 15 series, gives you access to Smart’s 5G network, which has been recognized by independent analytics firm Opensignal for having the best coverage and availability in the country. With a 5G connection, you’ll be able to enjoy gaming without lag issues, view higher resolution videos, upload better and more photos and videos, and more.
Better hardware
Upgrading to the iPhone 15 series also means having a top-of-the line device that can run more demanding applications like games without any problem, thanks to its best-in-class processor. The cameras of the iPhone 15 series are also considered one of the best on the market, so you’ll be able to take the best photos and videos.
Several payment options
You can either make a straight/one-time cash payment via the Smart Online Store, or take advantage of the 0% installment plan available via participating Smart Stores.
- Straight/One-time cash out
Straight payments via cash, credit card, or Maya Loan are accepted. You have the option to pay through e-wallets (Maya or Gcash), debit or credit card, online banking, over-the-counter banking/ATM, or via payment centers.
- 0% Installment via UnionBank
Designed to make the phone upgrade more affordable, the second option can be availed either as a 12-month or 24-month payment plan via UnionBank. UnionBank credit card holders can apply for the credit installment plan at select Smart Stores with a UnionBank POS terminal.
Smart’s new Prepaid eSIM with Magic Data 99
Upgrading your device comes with a FREE Smart’s prepaid eSIM and 2 GB no-expiry Magic Data 99. Once you receive your device, you may simply activate your Smart Prepaid eSIM through the printed QR that comes with your new smartphone. The eSIM will be loaded with Magic Data 99 within 24 hours upon activation.
