| Palawan and Siargao | Access to both Smart and Globe gives you more coverage options as you move between towns and islands. The stronger network varies by location. |
| Boat trips and remote beaches | Open-water crossings and secluded coves can be beyond either network’s reach, for local SIMs and travel eSIMs alike. Save maps and pickup details before leaving town. |
