Smart prepaid subscribers can now experience blazing fast internet connection as the MVP-owned Telco launched the Smart Prepaid LTE.
The service will be offered in three denominations which is basically identical to Smart’s postpaid offering. Below are the packages along with its corresponding subscription text codes:
To take adavantage of this service, users need to purchase an LTE-provisioned SIM card which costs Php350. The SIM comes with free 7-days unlimited LTE that you need to register upon activation.
It comes in dual-cut (regular and micro-SIM) and nano-SIM variant and can be bundled with either a Huawei LTE dongle (additional Php5,995) or an LTE pocket WiFi (additional Php6,995).
Smart will start selling these LTE enabled devices this coming Sunday. For more informatiom about the service you can check out Smart’s official website.
Before buying any LTE Capable devices, make sure that it is compatible with our LTE Networks here in the Philippines, Example, If you buy a unlocked iPhone 5 from US.. Sorry that phone will not work with Smart and Globe 4G LTE Network since the Frequency and Bands are not compatible, in the US they use LTE Bands 4 and 17.. It will just work in 3G HSPA+.. In the US they want different LTE Band so that you are tied with one carrier only.. AT&T and Verizon for example…
will the GALAXY NOTE 2 LTE be compatible with smart Lte sim.. anybody? thanks
I’m so curious if smart lte prepaid will work on my lg optimus lte2. Guys any feedback if working sya in any lte devices..^_^
the answer is NO. I have an Lg optimus lte2 or F160k. bought a smart lte prepaid sim pero 3g lang ang kaya. found out that sa prepaid lte dapat 2100Mhz and optimus lte 2 has B3 or 1800Mhz lang. pero i havent tried using it sa globe postpaid. 1800Mhz kasi frequency gamit nila.
Wrong info si details, according to technical staff from smart, lte sim works with any lte devices kaya lte sim for lte device.. I want to try sana kaso out of stock yung lte sim nila..
@Det. Wrong info. According to smart, lte sim works to any lte capable device kaya lte sim for lte device. Yun ang sabi ng technical staff ng smart na nakausap ko. I want to try sana kaso, out of stock sila.
Prepaid Lte sim being sold by smart are broadband sim meaning,it won’t work on your lte capable handsets. The only phone that will work so far is Xperia z.
So if you don’t own Xperia z or any lte broadband stick and lte pocket wifi (also ipad 4g)don’t bother buying the smart broadband lte prepaid sim.
Does it work with my BlackBerry Z10 – stl100-2
Got a prepaid iPhone 5 smart-locked. Purchased prepaid lte sim nung apr21… Lte capable area ko.. 1 week triny ko, pero sa 3g parin ako nakakakonel na sobrang bagal!!! Mekylangan po bang tweak para makasagap ng lte signal?
What about Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE, will it work on the LTE prepaid sim?
as for droid razr maxx hd that particular phone will not work for smart LTE, I assume that phone is issued by verizon wireless that uses LTE Band 13 @ 700MHz, Smart uses only Band 1 2100MHz, Band 3 1800MHz and Band 3 850MHz so its not compatible.. unless that if purchase a Multiband LTE Capable Phone like the Galaxy S4
Hi Sirs, gagana ba to sa HTC One?
If I will use the LTE sim with HSPA+ devices, will I be able to reach at least the 21Mbps speed or it will be capped to 7.2Mbps still?
The LTE sim should be provisioned for “upto” 42Mbps, right? So thinking of buying just the LTE sim and use it in my Huawei E5331. To follow na lang yung LTE myfi kung meron na sa black market.
Good day sir ronnie, i would like to ask where to buy the smart lte prepaid sim? yesterday i went to smart store at sm moa and no available stock as of the moment. thank you very much and hope to hear some updates. godspeed!
You can buy one at the Smart store in Ayala Makati, I got one there. :)
How will you know the band of your device? I’m currently using nexus 7. I connect to wifi through my e5151 using a postpaid smart bro sim, and it is annoyingly slow. Even at off peak hours, smart bro’s internet performance is mediocre. I’m weighing my options if I should return back to globe or upgrade to lte. But I have no lte capable device. And besides though smart has mediocre net speed it is reliable compared to global which goes on outage for weeks due to their annoying system upgrade. Any advice?
Same here, I got an HTC One and seems like the LTE Band of HTC One is not capable with the 2,100 Band 1 of Smart, would anybody know how to see what LTE band a phone has? Thanks.
nes – HTC One LTE band:
800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz

good day sir we have same problem.. but i done to fix that problem, now my e5151 wifi is high speed internet please check ur connection if fullbars then email me…
I have a droid razr maxx hd po.. LTE device na xa pero 700 Mhz and band nya.. I’ve seen that smart has bands of 2100,1800 and 850Mhz.. If I will put an LTE sim card on my phone, can it receive LTE signals?.. I live in an LTE coveraged area if you may ask..
San Smart outlets nag bebenta ng LTE prepaid sim cards? I’ve checked Smart Tower at Ayala ave, wala daw sila and di nila alam kung kelan sila magkakaroon.
Will this work with an iPad 3? I’m using a Buddy SIM, and I’m only getting 3G. My fastest speed test was 6 mbps.
How about for those LTE capable device not bundled with SMART pero naka All-In plan like iPhone 5 running on bands 1,3 & 5 po, gagana rin po ba yung LTE or for further announcements
