USE OF THE APP
When Internet Connection is Required. Access to a reliable internet connection is necessary to complete the transactions within the SMART Multi SIM App, as follows:
5.1. Downloading of the SMART Multi SIM App. Ensure that your handset is compatible with the App before using the SMART Multi SIM. You must be of legal age to download and use the SMART Multi SIM App. You are responsible for any data charges incurred while downloading or using the App. By using the SMART Multi SIM App, you agree to use it only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms and Conditions. Any unauthorized modification or distribution of the SMART Multi SIM App is strictly prohibited.
5.2. Activation of eSIM Profile. An eSIM profile may be activated, either by:
5.2.1. Scanning or Uploading of eSIM QR Code. You should only scan or upload valid eSIM QR codes that you availed of from SMART, TNT or from any local and international eSIM providers. The App supports scanning or uploading of local and international eSIM QR codes. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and validity of any scanned or uploaded QR code. The SMART Multi SIM App assumes no responsibility for any and all errors or issues resulting from scanning or uploading of invalid, corrupted or unsupported QR codes. You must report the invalid, corrupted or unsupported QR code with the sales channel or store where you availed of such QR code. SMART reserves the right to suspend or restrict scanning of eSIM QR code for any reason, without any liability.
5.2.2. Manual Activation Code. If eSIM QR code scanning is unavailable, users can manually enter the manual activation code provided by SMART.
For local and international eSIMs, the activation code is provided by the respective mobile network provider upon eSIM purchase and is usually sent via email, SMS, or through the mobile network provider’s app or website. Any invalid, corrupted or unsupported manual activation code must be reported to the sales channel or store where the eSIM was purchased.
SMART shall not be responsible or liable for any manual activation codes provided by your local and international eSIM providers.
Successful eSIM activation using the SMART Multi SIM App depends on several factors, including, but not limited to, validity of eSIM QR code or manual activation code, and network availability. You are responsible for following all the activation instructions provided within the SMART Multi SIM App. The SMART Multi SIM App does not guarantee successful activation in all cases.
5.3. Deletion of eSIM Profiles. The Default SIM Profile cannot be deleted in the SMART Multi SIM App or on the SMART Multi SIM. However, you can delete any of the additional eSIM profiles through the SMART Multi SIM App. Make sure to turn off the eSIM profile or set it to inactive status before deletion. Deleting an eSIM profile may result in the loss of the associated data. SMART shall not be responsible for any data loss resulting from the deletion of an eSIM profile. Deleted eSIM profile can no longer be used unless reactivated in accordance with Section 5.4.
5.4. Reactivation of eSIM Profile.
5.4.1. SMART eSIMs. You can keep the SMART eSIM QR code or activation code for future re-activation. You must ensure that your eSIM maintains a sufficient balance and an active wallet. Please refer to either the SMART Prepaid GSM Service Terms and Conditions (https://smart.com.ph/Corporate/terms/smart-prepaid) or the TNT Prepaid Terms and Conditions (https://tntph.com/terms-and-conditions) (each, a “Prepaid Service Terms and Conditions”) for the complete guidelines on permanent disconnection.
5.4.2. Local and International eSIMs. You need to check the eSIM provider's re-use policy to determine whether their QR code or manual activation code may be used for re-activation. SMART shall not be responsible or liable for any unsuccessful re-activation of an eSIM profile.
When Internet Connection is NOT Required. The following transactions within the SMART Multi SIM App may be completed even if your device is not connected to the internet:
5.5. Toggling On and Off of a SIM Profile. This will allow you to toggle ON or OFF a specific SIM profile through the SMART Multi SIM App. When a SIM profile is toggled ON, it becomes active and redirects you to your device's SIM management settings, allowing you to set the activated SIM as the default for calls, SMS, and data if supported by your device. When toggled OFF, the profile is temporarily deactivated, restricting its use. Toggling it ON through the device settings will not activate the SIM requiring you to activate the SIM through SMART Multi SIM App. You must always use the SMART Multi SIM App to manage SIM profiles.
If a SIM profile is disabled in the device’s SIM management settings, the SMART Multi SIM App cannot detect the SIM, and it will not connect to the network. You must use the SMART Multi SIM App to manage your SIM profiles.
5.6. Switching SIM Profiles via the SMART Multi SIM App. This function applies when the SMART Multi SIM stores multiple SIM profiles. Using the SMART Multi SIM App, you can manually switch between SIM profiles with the corresponding toggle ON/OFF buttons. You can easily select your preferred SIM profile, such as switching between local and international SIM profiles or personal and business numbers, if applicable.
When switching SIM profiles, you will always be redirected to your device's SIM management settings to assign which profile will be used for calls, SMS, and data, if any of these are supported by your device.
5.7. Switching from SIM1 to SIM2 and vice versa via the SMART Multi SIM App. The SMART Multi SIM App allows you to easily switch between SIM 1 and SIM 2 when this feature is supported by your device. This requires two (2) SMART Multi SIMs inserted into the device’s dual SIM tray. Each SMART Multi SIM can store up to five (5) eSIM profiles.
When switching SIM slots through the App, you will always be redirected to the device's SIM management settings, prompting you to select which profile will be used for calls, SMS, and data, if any of these are supported by your device.
5.8. Renaming of eSIM Profile. Only the Profile Name can be renamed, subject to the following rules:
5.8.1. Minimum and maximum number of characters is 0-64 to ensure readability and proper display across devices.
5.8.2. Only letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9).
5.8.3. Symbols (@, #, $, etc) are supported.
5.8.4. The new name must be different from the existing eSIM profile names on the device to avoid confusion.
5.8.5. The name must not contain profanity, offensive language, or misleading terms (e.g., "Emergency", "No SIM", "Invalid").
5.8.6. The name must not impersonate official carrier names unless assigned by the carrier.
5.8.7. The name should be easy to recognize and should not consist solely of random characters (e.g., "abc123xyz" is discouraged).

DATA USAGE
The SMART Multi SIM App will use device information (e.g., Android software version), Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN), and Embedded SIM Identifier (EID) to function.
EID - is a unique 32-character alphanumeric string, and its function is to identify whether the SIM card accessing the SMART Multi SIM App is a SMART Multi SIM.
11.1. EID File Requirement - For the solution to function, the SMART Multi SIM requires the EID file, which contains the EID, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID), and MSISDN. This file is securely transferred via a secure SFTP exchange server, and only the SMART Multi SIM server can decrypt and read these files.
11.2. Device Compatibility Check - The SMART Multi SIM App uses the Android software version information to validate if your device is compatible for the App installation.
11.3. EID File - The EID file stored on the SMART Multi SIM server is used solely to verify that you are using the correct SIM card for accessing the SMART Multi SIM App and to display the Mobile Identification Number (MIN) of the SIM profile in the App.
The SMART Multi SIM App only uses EID, MIN and device software version information. For more information about how we process your personal information, kindly refer to https://smart.com.ph/Corporate/privacy/multisim.
