Philippine mobile and internet plans, with the receipts

It depends on where you are going. Smart has the widest island and provincial coverage and sells tourist packs at NAIA booths; DITO is significantly cheaper but concentrated in Metro Manila and major cities. Our tourist SIM answer compares the current options with sources and dates for every price.

Nomad and Airalo are the value picks and Holafly is the only one without a routine daily throttle. Which suits you depends on how much data you need and whether you are leaving the major cities — Airalo runs on Smart, Nomad and Holafly on Globe.

Smart, Globe, and DITO all run booths in the arrivals areas of NAIA Terminals 1 to 3, open 24 hours, accepting cash and cards. They complete the mandatory SIM registration for you — bring your passport. Airport bundles are priced well above what the same operators charge in the city.

Yes. Registration is mandatory under the SIM Registration Act and an unregistered SIM will not work. Bring your passport; airport kiosks and operator stores handle it at the point of sale. SIMs registered to tourists are limited to 30 days before automatic deactivation.

PLDT, Globe, Converge, and Sky are all reported to sell fiber across Metro Manila and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Cebu. Presence in an area is not the same as coverage of your address — run your full address through each provider's own availability checker.

Every price on this site carries the source it was read from and the date it was checked, and pages show the oldest check among the figures they display rather than the newest. Where a provider does not publish readable prices — Smart and Globe in particular — we label the figure as third-party reported.
