The service is accessible to Smart-certified smartphones and 5G-activated SIM cards. The telco has partnered with big brands such as Samsung, Huawei, Realme, and Vivo to bundle their 5G-enabled smartphones with Smart Signature plans. Some of the yet to be released smartphones should be added on the list of 5G phones available in the Philippines.

Both PLDT and Smart have invested about Php260 billion in the last five years for the 5G deployment here in the Philippines.

The Smart 5G rollout was announced shortly after President Rodrigo Duterte demanded telcos to improve their services or face closure.
