'We're in the process of what we call 'customer education,'' Isberto said. 'Smart is trying to give its customers a chance to test the different 3G services that are now available in the network. These services are video calls, mobile Internet access, Web browsing, and video streaming.'

To use the service, a subscriber with a postpaid or prepaid Smart SIM and a 3G-enabled handset must also be in an area with Smart 3G coverage. A subscriber who has activated his handset for 3G services will see the 3G icon on the screen once in an area with Smart 3G coverage.
