The welcome offer includes connectivity to other mobile networks which include unlimited texts, 300 minutes worth of calls, and services such as call forwarding, call waiting, and video over LTE.

Before you switch to a DITO SIM, make sure to check if your phone is compatible with their SIM. Some early adopters reported not being able to send or receive SMS or calls from other mobile networks during the initial commercial launch of the telco which is expected as the telco is still in its infancy.
