The Philippines are served by three operators: Globe, Smart (PLDT) and DITO. Globe and Smart have the broadest coverage in populated areas and at tourist destinations, with Smart strong in 5G availability in the cities. DITO is the youngest player with sharp prices and growing coverage, but more limited outside the urban centres. Across the thousands of islands and remote areas, the signal can vary. Networks: Globe, Smart, DITO.
For a round trip across several islands we recommend at least 10 GB, because you rely heavily on mobile data. Expect weaker coverage on remote beaches and dive sites.
