As we all await the NCR launch of DITO Telecommunity, here are some things you should know about the network’s products and services that may be useful for those who are planning to subscribe to DITO:
Next-Gen Technology Explained
We always hear the phrase “next-generation technology” (or simply, next-gen) but what does it really mean for everyday Internet users? The use of next-generation technology in telecommunications can be summarized in two words: breakthrough connectivity. Next-gen technology paves the way for clearer, faster, and optimized connections which drive performance that goes beyond mobile devices. At DITO, users are assured that they are subscribing to innovative and reliable data services which are built on world-class digital infrastructures and technology.
What is VoLTE?
Short for Voice over LTE or VoLTE is one of the next-generation mobile technologies available to DITO users. Simply put, VoLTE means that your telco provider lets you make voice calls using the faster and more efficient LTE network instead of the usual 2G and 3G networks. Gone are the days when your data connection stops every time you receive a phone call. Through VoLTE, you can enjoy better quality on your phone calls thanks to its ability to use more bandwidth.
What Does Interconnectivity Mean?
Republic Act 7925 mandates the interconnection among telco providers as requirements in providing universal access to Filipinos and to ensure fair, healthy competition. For DITO subscribers, this means that you can also make voice calls and send text messages to other mobile networks!
Which Phones are DITO-Ready?
As DITO ushers in a new era in telecommunications with next-generation technology, it is important to pair your DITO SIM with a DITO-compatible mobile phone to ensure that you get to experience the best that this next-gen technology has to offer. And you don’t have to worry about the price! There is a wide variety of phones that will fit any budget, from low-end to mid-range up to high-end that are all DITO-ready!
