Smart lets users upgrade SIM to an eSIM while retaining number

PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) is driving wider eSIM adoption among Filipinos as it now enables prepaid subscribers to conveniently switch their physical SIM to an eSIM without changing their number — the first service of its kind for prepaid customers in the Philippines.

The digital version of the physical SIM, embedded SIM or eSIM 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.

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.

Non-Smart subscribers can switch their physical SIM into a Smart Prepaid eSIM for free by obtaining their Unique Subscriber Code from their current network provider and submitting the required documents to the nearest Smart Store.

Smart Signature subscribers and Smart Infinity members may upgrade to an eSIM by simply heading to any Smart Store.

On the other hand, 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.
