In just three months since it started its 3G network rollout, Smart now covers about 60 cities or more than 50 percent of all cities nationwide, including over 20 municipalities outside Metro Manila.

"This is an affirmation of our commitment to the public to establish the country's first nationwide 3G coverage at the shortest possible time,' said Napoleon L. Nazareno, Smart president and CEO. 'We are doing for Smart 3G what we did first for our analog and then for our GSM network infrastructures."
