KiQ Launches as PH’s First App‑Based, Personalized Digital Telco

Today, Smart Communications quietly rolled out KiQ, the Philippines’ first fully app‑based mobile service, offering a tailored “digiflex” telco experience aimed squarely at Gen Z users.

KiQ puts personalization at the forefront, letting users customize data, calls, texts, and plan validity through a sleek Slider interface in-app. You can even pick your own number, starting with the 0883 prefix. Activation is eSIM-only: download the app, personalize your plan, and activate seamlessly, no QR codes necessary.

Flexible promos include “KIQ ALL U CAN” (unlimited data, calls, and SMS for PHP 940/28 days), as well as budget bundles like “KIQ ERR” (12 GB data, 10-minute calls, 100 SMS for PHP 100/7 days). Smart also promises prioritized network speeds in high‑traffic zones like concerts, malls, campus, so your connection stays solid during peak hours.

KiQ is Smart’s grab for the next-gen telco market, while competitors like Globe’s GOMO offer simplicity, KiQ brings flexibility, control, and app-native ease. If you live fast and TikTok harder, this might be the telco experience you’ve been waiting for.
