Now, Dito’s spokesperson has hinted that they may eventually start distributing or selling SIM cards to select establishments and consumers this year. They do not have exact details but their target is to have working SIM cards from October to December 2019.

With the launch of Dito Telecommunity, both Globe and PLDT-SMART will be required to improve their service and reduce the pricing. In this situation, the consumer wins.
