Two Major Philippine Networks
Your cost-effective Philippines electronic SIM connects to Smart 5G and Globe 5G, two of the country's leading mobile networks. Booking a Grab in Manila, checking boat times in Cebu, or video calling home from a Palawan beach all go more smoothly when you have more than one network to rely on.

Connect to Two Major Philippine 5G Networks
Your Philippines electronic SIM gives you access to Smart 5G and Globe 5G, helping you stay connected from the busy streets of Manila to the island beaches of Palawan and Boracay.
Stay Connected Across the Philippines
Coverage can shift as you hop between cities, islands, and mountain towns. With access to both Smart and Globe, your eSIM gives you more ways to stay connected wherever your route takes you.

More coverage options as you travel between Cebu, Manila, Palawan, and beyond. Access to Smart and Globe with one eSIM.

Why Two Networks Matter In the Philippines
With more than seven thousand islands, the Philippines can see coverage change quickly from one shoreline to the next. A network that works well in a city center may be weaker on a remote beach.
Your eSIMnow plan connects you to Smart and Globe, two major Philippine networks, instead of tying you to just one.
That gives you more options for navigating, booking rides, checking ferry times, messaging family, or simply exploring at your own pace.
