For a business owner like Shinley Inocencio, her needs are simple: To be able to stay connected to her family and her customers, more so now amid quarantine restrictions.
"Everything happens online, so I have to be connected at all times," said 39-year-old Inocencio, a Smart subscriber for the past 19 years and owner of Fountain Prime Water Station in Odiongan, Romblon. "Many of our customers send their orders via Messenger, so they need to be able to reach me whenever they have to."
Shinley is now one of the over 5 million users of the GigaLife App, which now works for Smart, TNT, Smart Signature, Infinity and PLDT Home WiFi customers. It is a one-stop app that lets users load up, register to promos, monitor usage and pay bills, enabling them to maximize the country's fastest LTE and 5G networks simply and conveniently. With GigaPay, GigaLife App users can also link their PayMaya wallet, credit and debit cards as payment source for all in-app transactions, allowing subscribers to transact without leaving the app.
