TNT PREPAID GSM SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By using the TNT Prepaid GSM Service (“Service” or “Prepaid Service”) offered by Smart Communications, Inc. (“SMART”), the Subscriber agrees to the TNT Prepaid GSM Service Terms and Conditions (this “Agreement”) and the Terms and Conditions for SIM Registration [https://smart.com.ph/simreg] (the “SIM Registration Terms”) (collectively referred to as the “Terms and Conditions”), to wit:


  1. The TNT Prepaid Global System for Mobile Communications (“GSM”) Service is designed to work only if the Subscriber has the following:
    • a TNT Prepaid GSM Subscribe Identity Module (“SIM”) whether physical or digital (“eSIM”), (each, a “TNT Prepaid SIM”);
    • Terminal equipment/unit including, but not limited to, mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, portable hotspots, etc. which shall be of a type approved by SMART (the "Device"); and
    • airtime value loaded into Subscriber’s account.
  2. All new TNT Prepaid Subscribers shall, consistent with their obligation under the SIM Registration Act, be required to register their SIMs either through (i) SMART’s designated online portal (“SIM Registration Portal”) accessible via the following link: https://smart.com.ph/simreg or (ii) through assisted channels via SMART retail stores located nationwide, as a pre-requisite to the activation thereof and in accordance with the requirements of Republic Act No. 11934 otherwise known as the "Subscriber Identity Module 'SIM' Registration Act" and its Implementing Rules and Regulations set out in NTC Memorandum Circular No. 001-12-2022 (hereafter, the "SIM Registration Act").

    Failure to comply with the SIM Registration Terms shall result in the automatic deactivation of the SIM and the imposition of pre-termination fees, when applicable.

    All TNT Prepaid Subscribers using the TNT Multi SIM (“Multi SIM”) are required to undergo SIM Registration for both the Multi SIM and any associated eSIMs within the Multi SIM. The TNT Multi SIM is a physical SIM card which, when inserted into a non eSIM-capable Android (version 9 and above) handset, allows the Subscriber to carry and use local and international eSIM profiles.

    THE MULTI SIM AND EACH OF THE ASSOCIATED ESIMS MUST BE REGISTERED UNDER THE NAME OF A SINGLE OWNER.
  3. The Subscriber acknowledges that the selling price of the Multi SIM is solely for the default profile and that the addition of an eSIM profile will require a separate purchase.
  4. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Multi SIM can carry up to five (5) eSIM profiles. The addition of eSIM profiles under the Multi SIM and the management of such profiles will only work using the SMART Multi SIM App.
  5. The Subscriber acknowledges that only one SIM profile (i.e., TNT Prepaid SIM, whether physical or eSIM, SMART eSIM, local non-SMART eSIM, or international eSIM) under the Multi SIM can be active at a single time. To switch SIM profiles, the Subscriber must ena- ble or disable the SIM through the Smart Multi SIM App. In the event that the Multi SIM is transferred to a different device, the last SIM profile enabled will serve as the default profile. Once the SMART Multi SIM App is downloaded and installed on another device, the Subscriber will be able to access all the associated eSIMs under the Multi SIM. To learn more about the SMART Multi SIM App, please visit https://smart.com.ph/Corpo- rate/terms/multisim.
  6. The Subscriber acknowledges that the eSIMs linked to the Multi SIM work independently from the Multi SIM in such a way that if the Multi SIM were to be permanently discon- nected from the network, the Subscriber would still be able to use the SMART Multi SIM App and its associated eSIMs.
  7. The TNT Prepaid SIM and Data, Call and Text Cards are neither refundable nor redeema- ble for cash, either in part or in full.
  8. All terminal equipment/unit connected to or used in conjunction with the SMART tele- communication networks shall be of a type approved by SMART. SMART does not by this Terms and Conditions cover any representation or warranty for any telecommunications and related equipment, including, but not limited to, mobile phones, smart phones, tab- lets, portable hotspots, etc.
  9. The TNT Prepaid GSM SIM Card cannot be used with handsets which are:
    • SIM-locked to networks other than TNT; or
    • blacklisted by TNT due to theft, loss, non-payment or other reasons.
