Smart Communications has launched KiQ, a fully app-based prepaid telco that lets you build your own mobile plan, choosing how much data, calls, texts, and validity you want — without visiting a store or inserting a physical SIM. KiQ is Smart's first fully app-based mobile brand, built by DDB Philippines and aimed at younger, digital-first users. Our friends from Western Digital in the region is holding another contest and I'd like to invite our readers here to join in. Prizes include Western Digital HDDs and tickets to cool destinations like Maldives, Bali or Phuket. Disclosure: Western Digital Asia-Pacific is an advertiser in this blog. Western Digital Philippines is also a sponsor in our recent WD TV Live Christmas Giveaway. Among major telcos, Dito Telecommunity posted the highest VoLTE penetration at 41.9%, followed by Smart Communications at 31.7% and Globe Telecom at 27.4%. Users report dropped mobile data in crowded areas, failed digital payments when the signal dips, or video calls freezing during peak evenings.
