Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Review
We were the first to break the news last week about the new Smart Bro Rocket 12Mbps so we followed it up with Smart today.
It’s now official and you can get the prepaid SmartBro Rocket for Php3,995USD 68INR 5,771EUR 65CNY 496 (no lock-in period but is locked to the Smart network).
You should also see this poster in stores where it’s available.
Internet rates starts at Php10USD 0.17INR 14EUR 0.16CNY 1 per 30 minutes and you can just use the normal loading system. The Smart Bro Rocket will be available for sale at Smart Business Centers starting Monday. Remember though, there are only about 154 HSPA+ sites across the country (Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, etc) so don’t expect it to reach 12Mbps anywhere else.
Note: You can check the complete list of Smart HSPA+ sites here.
YugaTech.com is the largest and longest-running technology site in the Philippines. Originally established in October 2002, the site was transformed into a full-fledged technology platform in 2005.

jonas says:
still thinking of buying one vs globe. which is better?
zer0ice says:
I’m wondering if they’re going to allow other devices, e.g. current postpaid SIM, HSPA+???
Any news on that, Sir Abe?
Abe Olandres says:
@zer0ice – I am told the SIM that comes with it are pre-programmed to support the HSPA+ network.
xytherion says:
so that means our current sims are not supported?
heatmt11 says:
is cebu city in the list to have that HSPA+ coverage?
if so, i’ll buy one..
Abe Olandres says:
@heatmt11 – yes some base stations in Cebu City have been upgraded to HSPA+
