A new mobile brand is set to change the game for Filipino Gen Z users as Smart Communications, Inc. introduces KiQ (pronounced “kick”), the country’s first fully app-based telco service. Launched as one of the few of its kind globally, KiQ offers a personalized digital experience, giving users full control over their mobile plans.
At the heart of KiQ’s innovation is its highly customizable plans, allowing users to tailor fit their mobile services.

Through the KiQ App’s Slider Interface, subscribers can:
- Adjust their data allocation
- Choose whether to include calls and texts
- Select their preferred plan validity period
- Even pick their own mobile number
This flexibility ensures users only pay for what they need, eliminating wasted data or unnecessary add-ons.
How to setup KiQ
Getting started with KiQ is quick and hassle-free:
Step 1: Download the KiQ App (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store)
Step 2: Purchase a KiQ eSIM for just Php99
Step 3: Personalize the plan, pick a mobile number, and pay.
KiQ also introduces QR-less eSIM activation, a first for Smart. Instead of scanning a QR code, users simply click to download the eSIM directly from the app and activate it in their phone settings.
