    Thanks. I'm on smart prepaid LTE btw. I'm satisfied with it so far, Pampanga/Pasig coverage's good.
    Just wondering if getting a Smart bro LTE would be worth it but, I guess I'm sticking with my phone and just use its hotspot nalang

    Unlocked units of Huawei E5372 cost around P5,000+. Available at your usual computer shops in Gilmore and the like.

    Does anybody know what is up with Smart's LTE today? I've suddenly stopped receiving the usual 2-4 LTE bars here at our house the whole day. I've also tried restarting my phone several times to avail. BTW, I'm using a 5S on Smart's LTE 995. Location is near the Pasig-Cainta boundary near Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall.

    Could this be a result of being capped? (getting only 3G signals). ;( TIA

    I'm also experiencing this on my LTE pocket wifi. Called smart hotline and it's a Luzon wide outage. Hope they fix this ASAP.
