3.4 Philippines Telecommunications 3.4 Philippines Telecommunications Telecommunications Regulations Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) The Philippines has an advanced mobile market when compared to other similar countries. The Philippine Long-Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and Globe Telecom are the two major telecommunication carriers in the country. The current Philippine cellular infrastructure is Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). 4G service was made available in 2010, access to 4G services are above 70% for both all over the country with more than 80% in the main town. SMART (PLDT) and Globe launched long-term evolution (LTE) networks in 2012.PLDT has an existing digital fibre optic, and a digital microwave radio system connecting the entire country. Globe Telecom has fibre optic cables and was the first to offer Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax). The bulk of the fixed services are in urban areas. In contrast, the fixed line market in the Philippines remains underdeveloped and fixed line penetration continues to show stagnant growth. A major reason for this is due to the dominance of the mobile segment and the rapid expansion of the mobile broadband segment. PLDT has continued to be the Philippines’ dominant fixed- line provider. However, in recent years, Globe Telecom has been pushing hard to overhaul the incumbent and now is the leading mobile provider in term of overall subscribers. It’s very easy buying a mobile number in the Philippines, you can choose between prepaid and post-pay contracts. The main mobile service providers in the country are Smart and Globe and you can get information on rates, contract types, fees and offers by visiting operator’s websites.

These Sim cards are already 4G-enabled. Post-paid with free calls and free texts for members of the same “fleet” are also available, billed at the end of the month as usual.
