'That's not the full range of services that you're going to get,' Isberto said. 'Those are all on trial basis and the rates will be announced once the commercial service is announced or launched.'

HSDPA (High-Speed Downloading Packet Access), is a new mobile telephony protocol that Smart is planning to launch in the future. Smart engineers explained HSDPA breaks the 'one megabit per second barrier,' allowing high-speed and high-quality videos.

In February, Smart launched its 3G service for free on a trial basis.
