Smart Bro brings back Double Data for Prepaid Home WiFi subscribers

MANILA, Philippines — As many Filipinos have gone digital to deal with the new normal—with families preparing for another school year of taking online classes and continuing their work-from-home setup—we need significantly more data to go through our daily tasks and stay productive online.

Smart Bro aims to keep things simple in a challenging environment by providing everyone with the Prepaid Home WiFi, a ready-to-go, plug-and-play device that allows multiple users to connect to fast and reliable internet.

The Prepaid Home WiFi experience is made even more convenient by the GigaLife App, a one-stop app that allows you to load up, register to promos, and monitor usage with just a few taps on your smartphone, eliminating the old hassles of logging into a separate web portal or setting up from your laptop.

To complement the ease of going digital, it’s also bringing back Double Data for all Prepaid Home WiFi customers, providing twice the open access data allocation on Famload and GIGA offers to cover all online activities for school, work, business or entertainment.

With twice the open access data, Prepaid Home WiFi subscribers can enjoy more data for apps and online services for the whole family—whether it’s to attend virtual learning, send and download work files, promote a side hustle, connect with loved ones on social media or binge-watch movies and shows on streaming sites.

Enjoy 140GB instead of 70 GB for only P999

Prepaid Home WiFi customers can avail of Double Data exclusively on the GigaLife App. With this offer, subscribers who register to Famload Video 999 via the GigaLife App may now enjoy 140 GB open access data—or twice the regular 70GB open-access data—plus 1GB YouTube Every Day valid for 30 days for a total of 170 GB for the same price of P999.

Double Data also applies to other Famload Video and Famload Video Plus denominations, including Famload Video 199, 599 and 1499, as well as Famload Video Plus 199, 599, 999 and 1499.

Smart Bro Pocket WiFi users can also enjoy Double Data on GIGA and GIGA Pro offers via the GigaLife App, including GIGA Video 50, 99 and 299; GIGA Stories 50, 99 and 299; GIGA Video Pro 199 and 999; and GIGA Stories Pro 199 and 199, among others.

An easy-to-use plug-and-play device, the Prepaid Home WiFi provides instant connectivity for the whole family—you can set it up in just few minutes and go online right away.
