Customizable digital telco
Billed as the country’s first and only service of its kind, and among the first globally, KiQ offers a fully customizable digital telco experience.
Through its Slider Interface, users can set data allocation, add calls and texts, choose plan validity, and even pick their number.
QR-less eSim activation
KiQ is also Smart’s first implementation of QR-less eSIM activation. Through the app, users can download and activate their eSIM directly in their phone’s settings, without the need to scan a QR code.
To start, customers must download the KiQ app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store, buy a KiQ eSIM for P99, personalize their plan, and choose a number.
