Buying an LTE Capable Device If you already have an LTE SIM or if you've recently bought one then the next step would be to get a device that supports LTE. Smart 700mhz 850mhz 1800mhz 2100mhz 2300mhz 2500mhz 2600mhz Globe 700mhz 1800mhz 2500mhz 2600mhz Now your device should support these frequencies to be able to use the LTE services in the Philippines.

This is a little better than the 44.8% LTE availability that the Philippines got back in November 2016.
