Friday, 21 November 20143 min read

International travelers flying into the Philippines on Cebu Pacific can now purchase a SIM card onboard offering data, text and voice calls.

The airline has teamed up with Smart Communications to offer passengers the Cebu Pacific Fun Data SIM, which is a LTE-capable SIM compatible with most mobile devices.

It costs PHP500 for 1.5 GB worth of data, 10 free minutes of voice calls to all Philippine mobile networks, and 100 text messages.

"With international tourist arrivals expected to grow further in the coming years, we see a bright spot in targeting foreign travellers who want to experience what the Philippines has to offer," said Michele Curran, vice president, data and international services at Smart.

"Partnering with Cebu Pacific Air opens a wider market for Smart as they continually expand their route network to more countries worldwide."

Cebu Pacific currently flies to 28 international destinations including South Korea, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
