Please note that you will not be able to receive incoming SMS and activate the roaming service abroad if your SIM has not yet been activated.
When I purchase a Data Pack or a Promo, when will the validity of my DITO ROAM Mate service begin?
It starts the moment you purchase the service, so we highly encourage that you avail it on the day of your flight so you can maximize the service in its entirety.

Upon activation and arrival at your destination, you can already enjoy the following:

No. DITO ROAM Mate can only be enjoyed if you are within a covered country.
