How unlimited / day pass plans workLearn more

Travel tips

Philippines connectivity tips

  • Metro Manila and Cebu are densest; island provinces can be patchy outside hubs.
  • Grab and maps are essential for airport transfers.
  • Ferry and island days: download boarding info while you have signal.

How much data: City + beach combos often use 5–10 GB/week. Remote island hopping should not rely on café Wi‑Fi alone.
