Smart launches KiQ

Personalizing telco experience

Telco giant Smart Communications, Inc. has launched KiQ (pronounced "kick"), the Philippines' first fully app-based service. This new service offers a personalized digital telco experience targeting the Gen Z market.

The platform uses a Slider Interface, allowing subscribers to choose their data allocation, choose whether to have calls and texts, and choose the length of their plan validity to match their lifestyles. Users can also choose their number.

With KiQ, we’re giving them a mobile experience that puts them in full control — no wasted data, no unnecessary add-ons, just total freedom and flexibility. This is what the future of mobile looks like, said Smart Chief Operating Officer Anastacio Martirez.

To start using KiQ:

Download the KiQ App on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store
