Smart Communications, the mobile arm of PLDT, has rolled out a new feature that lets its users make video calls directly from their phones without the need for apps like Messenger, Zoom, or WhatsApp. If you’re a Smart or TNT subscriber with an unlimited call package, you can now place high-quality video calls and the cost will already be covered by your voice subscription. The best part is, the person receiving the call does not get charged, and they don’t even need to be a Smart or TNT subscriber to answer. While many Filipinos already rely on popular apps for video calls, Smart said that ViLTE provides a better and more stable experience. With ViLTE, Smart says it is taking communication to the next level by making video calling simpler and more accessible for everyone. (Smart) has launched a new app called Smart Travē (pronounced TRAV-ie) which allows users to purchase local eSIMs and connect in over 80 overseas destinations for as low as PHP 40 per day. By using Smart Travē, users do not need to swap physical SIM cards, queue at airport kiosks just to purchase a physical SIM card, or go through the hassle of locating public WiFi hotspots just to connect while traveling.
