Smart Bridges Human Connections in time of Social Distancing with ‘Free Stories for All’

The paradox of “social distancing” in this time of uncertainty and growing anxiety brought by the COVID-19 global pandemic is that there is a raring need to stay in touch while staying at home.

With its new “Free Stories For All,” PLDT wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc. allows its prepaid subscribers access to a better way of staying safe but connected, informed, and, virtually present for those who matter to us so we may all pull through during these difficult times.

“Free Stories For All” gives Smart Prepaid and TNT subscribers an extra 1 GB of data for Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok. To get this, users simply have to register to Giga Stories in the FREE STORIES menu on the Smart App for Android-powered smartphones. To download the Smart App on Google Play, click here.

Customers can also turn to Instagram to share real human stories as they happen or Tiktok for their dose of content from their favorite creators, or uplift others by sharing their own content with friends. But most important of it all, customers can get the latest news updates about the COVID-19 outbreak as well as government advisories so that they can protect their health and safety during these difficult times.

Subscribers can also access for free the websites of news organizations like News5, One News, BusinessWorld, Philippine Star, ABS-CBN News, GMA News, and CNN Philippines until April 14, 2020.

Smart delivers Giga Stories Promos with “Free Stories For All”, which has been certified as the country’s fastest mobile network by third-party network analytics firms such as Ookla and Opensignal.
