The Philippines’ leading Telecom Company, Smart Communications is now offering prepaid data roaming for P500 per day. Dubbed as All Day Surf abroad, it is the first prepaid data roaming offer from the telecommunications giant.
It allows every frequent traveler and tourist going to Asian countries to keep in touch with loved ones back in the Philippines by means of the internet.
They can share every travel experience, status updates, photos, emails, Google map access, connect to social media sites, and many more for a flat rate of P500 per day.
Unfortunately, the promo is not available to those Talk n Text, and Smart Pinoy Roaming SIM currently in Roam ON.

Where to Buy Smart Load Abroad
One of the biggest problems of tourists traveling abroad is when they run out of load (I can relate). This is very unfortunate, but Smart and PLDT have solutions for it.
Subscribers can visit the nearest Smart / PLDT accredited load dealers on the country they are in and just buy the load that they need. They can probably buy prepaid load using bank or credit card. If they can’t find an accredited dealer, they can also visit any Filipino stores.
Aside from mentioned, prepaid subscribers can also go to smartpinoystore.com and purchase load online. Just choose the preferred denomination. They can also ask their relatives in the Philippines to E-load them by visiting any Sari-Sari electronic loading Stores.

PLDT Global (pldtglobal.com) – HongKong, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan
Ventaja (ventaja.com.ph) – Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia
