Sustained improvements in revenues have been driven by greater data adoption by our
subscribers, underpinned by simplified offers anchored on the GIGA value proposition, which
addresses and enables customer passion points," said Jane J. Basas, Senior Vice President
and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.
The Group expanded initiatives to encourage stronger data adoption and use, including the
rebranding of the Sun Cellular prepaid service to Smart Prepaid. This brought a much better
mobile experience to existing Sun Prepaid customers, including access to the GigaLife App,
GIGA promos, and retailers, without the need to change their mobile numbers.
The Consumer Wireless Business also recently offered all its prepaid customers the GIGA K-
Video with a new international endorser, Park Seo Jun. Giga K-Video allows Smart prepaid
subscribers to enjoy ad-free streaming and unlimited downloads of K-dramas via the VIU
Premium video streaming platform.
It has likewise launched GIGA Pro, Smart’s biggest prepaid data pack for heavy data users.
This follows GIGA Work and Giga Study which were launched earlier, providing data allocations
for work collaboration tools and learning apps, specifically tailored for employees’ online
productivity needs and students’ online education needs.
The GigaLife App was also recently launched for prepaid and postpaid Signature subscribers, to
enable them to manage their subscriptions more seamlessly.
Powering these services are PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart)'s ramped-up
nationwide rollout of their fixed and wireless networks
5G is seen to enable machine-to-machine communication via mobile. Its use cases worldwide
span in different industries, such as retail, transport, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing
sectors, as well as intelligent solutions for customer support and smart homes, among others.

kilometers, up by 22% from end-2019. To date, 95% of the Philippine population is now covered by Smart’s mobile
data networks.
