You can use essential travel apps without paying a dime
A reliable data connection is vital for us whenever we go abroad, and we usually pay for local SIMs with data packages to survive our overseas trips. That’s no longer in the cards for us during casual travel though, as Smart has introduced a brand-new app that gives you access to essential travel apps without incurring roaming fees.
The Smart RoamFree app is a one-stop portal that gives you access to 21 partner sites at your destination country, even without a data package. Apps like Google Maps, Uber, AirBNB, Agoda, Booking, Google Maps, PassnFly, Musement, TripAdvisor, Triip, Meetup.com, Klook, Tiqets, Foodpanda, OpenTable, TheFork, Groupon, KeyFlow, Viator, Google Translate, XE Currency Converter, and ATM Finder are absolutely essential when you’re overseas, and RoamFree allows you to connect and access them for free.
The app is available for use in 26 destinations worldwide, which includes countries like: United States, Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Albania, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Portugal, Romania, and the United Arab Emirates.
“Staying online while traveling abroad makes for a hassle-free travel experience, but unfortunately, many travelers still choose to go offline out of fear of racking up enormous data roaming charges. The RoamFree app addresses this by allowing you to freely connect to relevant content and services that make for a travel experience like never before,” said Kat Luna-Abelarde, PLDT Global Corp. President and CEO.
“Working with key players in the digital travel space, we are able to deliver sponsored data to cater to the growing number of overseas travelers, and reinforce our thrust to connect Filipinos wherever they are. In the same way that we are expanding and improving our nationwide network, we are continuously enhancing our global services to give our subscribers the best mobile experience – whether they are in the Philippines or abroad,” said Eric R. Alberto, Chief Revenue Officer of PLDT and Smart.
