These innovations include direct carrier billing services for iOS users through the first Pay-With-Mobile service for Apple apps, games and other content. This was already made available to Google Play, allowing users to purchase digital content using only their prepaid load, or charged on top of their accounts.

Smart also introduced GameX, an online storefront where PC-based games can purchase e-Pins using their prepaid load or postpaid account. GameX is a go-to portal for gamers around the country, thanks to its partnerships with local and international game publishers and developers. It provides gamers with e-PINS for new games, including DOTA2 and League of Legends.

“Digital games are a big part of our ’Smart Life’ campaign, and we aim to further engage with the growing local gaming community to offer products and services that are relevant to their specific needs, as demand for digital games grows around the world,” said Ariel P. Fermin, EVP and head of consumer business at Smart.
