These days, it’s not uncommon for members of the family to be flying in and out of the country either for work or play. Dad could be attending a conference in Hong Kong and Mom spending some downtime with her girlfriends in Spain. Their daughter could be taking a culinary course in Thailand and their son participating in a golf meet in Hawaii. Wherever your loved one is, the sound of his voice is probably the most important thing. Yes, you could always chat online or send each other text messages, but nothing beats talking to your beloved. By hearing his voice, you get a better sense of how he is, whether he’s enjoying his trip, getting bored, or coming down with something.

The good news is that Smart Communications recently launched the Smart Sulit IDD Card. For as low as P2.50 per minute, you can catch up with your loved ones fast and easy. As soon as the Smart Sulit IDD card is loaded, you can dial up your husband, child, uncle, or cousin right away. It’s so easy! No need to log in prefixes, just call their international numbers pronto!

Ruth Ritumalta, Senior Manager for Smart International Services said, “The importance of having an open line of communication to our loved ones abroad cannot be stressed enough. With Smart Sulit IDD, Filipinos do not only enjoy affordable rates but also the convenience and peace of mind of being able to stay in touch with their relatives and friends overseas on a regular basis.”
