The GigaLife App, which gives Smart Prepaid, Smart Postpaid, TNT, Smart Bro, and PLDT Prepaid Home WiFi subscribers a simple and easy way to manage their digital activities, now has more than 5 million monthly active users as of the first quarter of the year. The GigaLife App is available on the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and on Huawei Mobile Services.

“We continue to work hard to give a better experience for our customers, including adding more features and data innovations that are available on the GigaLife App,” said Jane J. Basas, SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.

The GigaLife App also enables Smart’s GigaPoints rewards program, which offers a simpler and easier way for everyone to earn, accumulate, and redeem exclusive treats.
