Smart Infinity Plans Get ROAM+ Annual Roaming Wallet for International Connectivity

Smart ROAM+ gives Infinity members an annual international roaming data allocation that can be used across multiple overseas trips within 365 days.

• Yearlong Roaming: Smart ROAM+ provides Infinity members with up to 40GB of international roaming data credited at the start of their contract year, giving them a ready-to-use allocation for multiple trips within a 365-day period.
• Simpler Travel: Members can keep using their primary Smart number, manage connectivity through one bill, and monitor their remaining ROAM+ allocation through the Smart App instead of arranging a separate roaming allocation before every overseas journey.
• Premium Experience: ROAM+ joins Smart Infinity's existing suite of benefits, including Worldwide Concierge Services, complimentary airport lounge access, Infinity Collection privileges, dedicated Relationship Manager support, and 24/7 priority assistance at Smart Stores nationwide.

Traveling abroad usually comes with a checklist of things to prepare, but mobile connectivity is one concern Smart wants its premium subscribers to think about less often. Smart Communications, Inc. is enhancing its Infinity Plans with ROAM+, its first annual roaming wallet designed to provide international connectivity across multiple trips throughout the year.

Rather than requiring members to arrange a new roaming allocation for every journey, ROAM+ provides international roaming data at the start of the member's contract year. The allocation remains available for use across multiple trips within 365 days, giving frequent travelers a more convenient way to stay connected whenever they head overseas.

Up to 40GB for Overseas Trips

Depending on their Infinity Plan, members can receive up to 40GB of international roaming data through ROAM+. They continue using their primary Smart number while abroad, with their connectivity managed through one bill. Remaining ROAM+ data can also be checked through the Smart App.

ROAM+ allocations are tied to the member's Infinity Plan:

• Infinity Plan 3500: 6GB
• Infinity Plan 5000: 20GB
• Infinity Plan 8000: 30GB
• Infinity Plan 9500: 40GB

This structure allows Infinity members to select a plan that better matches both their connectivity requirements and travel habits. More importantly, the annual allocation means they do not have to start from scratch with a new connectivity solution every time another overseas trip comes up.

Less to Arrange Before Every Trip

For travelers, internet access has become an essential part of practically every journey. Mobile connectivity can help with navigating unfamiliar destinations, accessing maps and tourist information, booking accommodations and transportation, discovering attractions, translating languages, and communicating with family, friends, and colleagues.

ROAM+ is designed to make that connectivity easier to prepare for. With roaming data already allocated for the contract year, members have fewer connectivity-related decisions to make before leaving the country and can instead focus more of their attention on the trip itself.

Tina Montinola, Head of Smart Infinity, said, "Connectivity is the one thing you shouldn't have to think about while traveling. With ROAM+, Infinity Plans just got better, giving our members added convenience and a more seamless connectivity experience that is ready before the journey, throughout the trip, and for the next one."

The idea is particularly suited to Infinity members who travel more than once within a year. Instead of treating roaming as something that needs to be arranged separately for every departure, the available allocation can follow them across multiple journeys within the 365-day validity period.

A New Approach to Premium Roaming

ROAM+ also expands the collection of premium services already included in the Smart Infinity experience. Infinity members have access to Worldwide Concierge Services, complimentary airport lounge access, the exclusive Infinity Collection, dedicated Relationship Manager support, and 24/7 priority assistance at Smart Stores nationwide.

Lloyd R. Manaloto, First Vice President and OIC of Smart, said, "ROAM+ represents a shift in how premium roaming can be designed, that is, from a service that customers arrange for individual trips into an annual roaming wallet that is ready whenever they need it. It reflects our commitment to continuously raise the standard of the Infinity experience, giving our members greater freedom to travel with fewer connectivity decisions along the way."

That annual-wallet approach is the central idea behind ROAM+. Instead of looking at international roaming as a trip-by-trip service, Smart is integrating it more closely into the overall Infinity Plan experience.

Infinity Plans Just Got Better

For Smart Infinity members who regularly find themselves traveling overseas, ROAM+ adds another layer of convenience to their existing plan. The combination of a yearlong roaming allocation, continued use of their primary Smart number, one-bill management, and balance monitoring through the Smart App is designed to make international connectivity more straightforward.

With allocations ranging from 6GB to 40GB depending on the Infinity Plan, members can have roaming data ready for multiple journeys over the course of their contract year. It is a practical enhancement that complements the premium travel and support benefits already available through Smart Infinity, while giving members one less thing to arrange before their next trip abroad.
