Discover How Smart's ViLTE Transforms Video Calls Without Apps

Smart's Innovative Leap: No Apps Needed for Video Calls

PLDT wireless unit, Smart Communications, has taken a significant step forward in communication technology by rolling out Video Calls powered by Video Over LTE (ViLTE) that eliminates the need for third-party applications. With just a simple dial, subscribers of Smart and TNT can utilize this groundbreaking feature, making high-quality video calls as effortless as ordinary voice calls. The essence of this innovation lies in making connectivity smoother and more personal, urging users to stay closer to their loved ones.

The Game-Changer: Billing Simplified for Users

What's remarkable about Smart's ViLTE service is its billing structure. Users who are enrolled in unlimited calling plans—like Unli 5G+ or PowerAll for Smart subscribers, and SurfSaya for TNT users—can revel in virtually unlimited video calling. Unlike traditional video call services, where both participants often bear usage costs, Smart's model folows straightforward prepaid billing, meaning only the caller incurs charges. And for those receiving calls, no specific subscription is necessary.

High-Quality Connections Even in Crowded Spaces

Network stability remains a priority in Smart's deployment of ViLTE. The service uses dedicated LTE resources to maintain video call quality, particularly in densely populated areas. This infrastructure enables high-definition video calls with a significant reduction in dropped connections, addressing a common frustration for users. Moreover, the integration at the network level translates to improved battery life, a contrast to many app-based alternatives.

The Future of Connectivity: Expanding the Reach of Smart's Network

Building upon its previous rollout of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services, launched in 2020, Smart continues its commitment to enhancing user experiences across the Philippines. The company is actively expanding its 4G and 5G networks to support data-intensive applications, ensuring that users can enjoy seamless video calls and other high-demand services. “With ViLTE, we are enhancing everyday communication by empowering our customers with a clearer and more immersive way to connect,” highlights Lloyd R. Manaloto, FVP at Smart.

Getting Started with ViLTE: Activating the Service

To enjoy the benefits of ViLTE, users must ensure that their devices support the necessary technology. Activation requires only a couple of straightforward steps: enabling VoLTE and toggling the ViLTE feature in their device settings. As long as both users are on compatible smartphones and under Smart’s LTE or 5G network coverage, they can enjoy rich video calling without the hassle of additional apps. Furthermore, ViLTE also supports Wi-Fi connections, ensuring that users can connect through different access points seamlessly.

Join the Future of Communication!

As Smart continues to expand and innovate, embracing features like ViLTE ensures you receive the best in connectivity solutions. Whether calling loved ones or conducting business meetings, this advancement signifies a major step towards revolutionizing how we connect. Embrace this transformative technology—it’s time to make video calling as ordinary as making a voice call!
