Through the new process for LTE SIM upgrades, such tactics have now been effectively blocked. To check if your Smart SIM is LTE-ready, simply text SIMCHECK to 5832 for free. Smart subscribers can avail of the LTE SIM upgrade at Smart Stores, Sun Shops, malls, convenience stores, telco shops, and partner retailers nationwide.
