Introduction   

The average Filipino internet user spends about nine hours online daily, with most of their time spent browsing social media, streaming videos, and playing online games. The long hours may be related to how many users access the internet through their mobile phones — the smartphone owner population in the Philippines accessing the internet is projected to grow to over 120 million in 2029!

With the growing popularity of online surfing and the ease of access through mobile phones, it’s to be expected that more Filipino users will look for best-value mobile data plans to keep up with their growing internet needs. Furthermore, the rise of 5G technology means users will expect to use high-speed data to perform online tasks.

Fortunately, DITO Telecommunity offers an unlimited 5G data plan for its prepaid SIM subscribers. This promo combines the best features internet users could have asked for, including high-speed connection, affordable prices, and no-cap data access.

Does the DITO SIM Enable Unlimited Data Access?   

Users who switch to using a DITO SIM can subscribe to the telco’s unlimited prepaid internet mobile plans. The unlimited 5G data promo comes in three price tiers with varying validity periods and inclusions:

Note that the 5G unlimited data promos are available to DITO subscribers with a 5G standalone handset. That’s because DITO uses next-generation technology, which is compatible only with VoLTE devices. Don’t worry; the smartphones on DITO’s gadget list are also affordable (and you might even own one now!). 

To ensure you’ll get the most out of the promo, you should use your data within DITO 5G-covered areas. These locations include the NCR and select cities such as Batangas, Cebu, Mandaue, Bacolod, Davao, Laguna, and Cavite. In cases when you can’t access 5G, each plan still enables data use through its 4G/LTE data access, ensuring you can still use high-speed internet wherever there’s a 4G network service.

Why You Should Subscribe to DITO’s Prepaid Unlimited 5G Data Plan   

If you’re like the average Pinoy who is online for long hours, getting an unlimited data plan through your DITO 5G prepaid SIM is the most practical option. When your data access is unlimited, you don’t need to constantly check your daily consumption or worry about cutting short online tasks because you’ve reached your data limit. 

Moreover, this kind of promo goes beyond convenience. When you subscribe to an unlimited DITO plan, you also get:

Ultra Fast Internet    

The most enticing feature of DITO’s 5G prepaid data plan is the high-speed internet you’ll experience. Its download and upload speed can reach up to 500 Mbps at the first 10GB you’ll use! The speed will also reset every 24 hours, so you’re practically using ultra-fast internet for most of your online surfing hours. Consuming 10GB, after all, takes a long time (unless you’re streaming HD movies the whole day).

Additionally, 5G connectivity allows for low-latency gaming and low-buffering video streaming, which means you’d have a smoother, zero-delay experience. The fast 5G speed also makes you become more efficient when performing online tasks! Slower internet connection speeds cause users to take more time doing their tasks because of the hiccups, but with 5G, you won’t get disrupted by them.

To maximize the perks of using DITO 5G, we recommend prioritizing your most data-heavy tasks when going online. Doing so will allow you to use the maximum 500 Mbps speed for your most demanding tasks, including online classes, virtual meetings, and gameplay streaming. Be sure to pace your usage, too — allocate the 10 GB so it equally covers all your data-heavy tasks while your internet speed is at its fastest.

Open Access Data   

An unlimited 5G data plan from DITO also allows all access, meaning you get to use all websites and applications you need for your online tasks. It makes surfing convenient and hassle-free for users who access different apps while working on their projects or doing their hobbies. 

Students and employees who use the internet for intensive research will benefit the most from the open-access feature. Researchers tend to visit numerous websites, download apps for testing, stream videos, download PDFs and images, and many other things — a data plan that does not limit your access makes for more productive internet use. 

In addition, users who are focused on watching videos or playing games will not be limited to just Netflix and League of Legends. The all-access feature allows these people to use high-speed internet connection for other platforms, enough to keep them entertained regularly.

Reasonable Price Tiers   

DITO’s prepaid unlimited data plans come at reasonable prices, considering that the promo does not simply include 5G data access! When you buy a promo, you also get unlimited video calls to DITO subscribers, unlimited texts to all networks, and even a bonus of 300 minutes worth of calls to other mobile networks. 

The three options available also mean you get to try which plan best suits your data access habits. With validity periods of seven, 15, and 30 days, you’d be able to determine which unlimited data plan can best accommodate your internet and communication needs. Also, note that none of these plans cost over P1,000 — an automatic win!

Has 4G Data Options   

The best thing about the promo, apart from the 5G feature, is its additional 4G data access. This inclusion allows users to stay connected to the internet even when they’re out of DITO’s 5G coverage area (provided there’s a network signal). 

Allowing 4G data access when the users are outside DITO’s 5G areas enables users to still use high-speed internet. It’s a feature that’s most useful for on-the-go content creators who need to remain connected so they can share moments with their followers right away. It’s also helpful for users who travel long distances and want to pass the time by playing online games or watching online videos. 

This feature is also proof of DITO’s objective to provide quality internet service to as many Filipinos as possible. It also respects the slow transition from 4G to 5G in the country, ensuring that subscribers can enjoy both technologies until the nation fully embraces next-generation advancements.
