1. You’re lost.
You’re hungry, you’re feet have blisters and you swear you just walked by that monument thingie 10 minutes ago. Don’t awkwardly wrestle with your hotel’s fold out map. Pull out your phone and stare at it intently, looking annoyed. Any unsavory characters who prey on tourists will be intimidated, plus you’ll blend into any busy city in the world.
Next, open Google Maps with Smart Postpaid Surf Abroad’s all day data roaming and get where you’re going. Just make sure to look up when you cross the street.
2. Your hotel room’s a disappointment.
We’re all for budgeting, but sometimes that 16-bed dorm full of funky art that you booked in advance, is just plain funky smelling in real life. When this happens, apps like AirBnB are there to save you.
Book a room on your mobile in no time thanks to Smart Postpaid Surf Abroad’s automatic registration. Just update your location when you reach your destination and turn on your mobile data setting and you’re online, no logins or passwords to forget. This is especially useful when you need to escape weird roommates, like, NOW.
3. You get ripped off.
You’re trying to bargain with a cranky saleslady, convert to PHP in your head and you swear that price is way too high. Google translate to the rescue. While you’re at it, Google the exchange rate and pull up some prices of that souvenir on eBay. Now she knows she can’t mess with you.
Traveling is unpredictable and some days you’re going to need more MBs than others. You might just need GBs to make sure you don’t get ripped off. Smart Postpaid Surf Abroad’s all day Internet access each day makes sure using apps, browsing websites and messaging friends simultaneously is no biggie.
4. You have to eat touristy food.
You want local food, not places that give you English, French and Chinese menus. This requires a little research into local bloggers, food reviews, some translation of web pages and finally a Google map to your chosen meal. Easy, right? Not without wifi access. Arghhh, why didn’t you think of that before?
Our favorite tip? Use Smart Postpaid Surf Abroad’s all day social network access to browse photos from restaurants on Foursquare and Instagram to see what the restaurant’s food and atmosphere really look like. For real foodies, send out a tweet or Facebook update to ask any locals you know for their opinions.
5. Spotty wifi means you can’t post pics and make your friends jealous.
If it’s not posted on Facebook, did it ever really happen? Posting vacay pics as an album after the trip is so 2014. You have to post each individual shot, complete with witty caption, as it happens. We get it.
Make sure you don’t miss out on sharing those amazing moments, and hashtagging to your hearts content, with all day sharing on your fave social networks from #SmartSurfAbroad.
6. Your smartphone is trying to connect to a bunch of weird local networks and you’re totally confused.
As soon as your plane lands, local networks start competing for your phone’s attention. But which one to use? And which will charge you a boatload of cash for posting one Instagram pic?
Luckily, Smart’s plan is hassle-free: there’s no need to register or select a roaming network since Smart automatically connects you to their partner network.
7. You went off the beaten path, and your Internet provider said bye bye.
Myanmar is THE hot new travel destination, but your phone carrier hasn’t caught on. Thankfully you can now #TravelMore with Smart Surf Abroad.
Smart has added 57 new countries to its roster of existing countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, USA, France and Germany, for a global span of 112 countries. In fact it’s the widest coverage for Filipino travelers today. Get inspired to travel to countries like Myanmar, Albania and Mozambique. Plus, by the end of the year, the list will be expanded to include a total of 180 countries.
8. Dealing with a shockingly ginormous bill at the end of a trip.

The new postpaid plan makes sure you don’t go over 550 PHP per day, no matter what, with the new network lock feature.
