Smart enables Video Calls without the need for apps

PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has announced the rollout of Video Calls powered by Video Over LTE (ViLTE), enabling Smart and TNT subscribers with ViLTE-capable devices to make video calls without the need for a third-party app.

With ViLTE, subscribers can make high-quality video calls as easily as dialing a regular voice call, bringing loved ones closer through simpler, smoother, and more personal conversations.

ViLTE video calls are simply charged to the caller’s voice subscription. This means that subscribers with an active Unli Calls offer — such as Unli 5G+ or PowerAll for Smart customers or SurfSaya for TNT users — can virtually enjoy unlimited video calls with ease. And just like in regular calls, the receiver of the call doesn’t need to have an active offer as long as the caller has one.
