The #1 reason OFWs send load home? Seeing their kids' faces on a video call every evening.
When you're working abroad, nothing beats a video call with your family. But lagging video, buffering, and "data na ubos na" messages ruin those precious moments.
The solution: Pick the right Smart promo, and you'll never run out of data for Messenger, Viber, or WhatsApp again.
TL;DR: Best Smart Promos for Video Calls
Power All: Unli Social Media + Open Data
Smart's Power All line gives you open-access data plus unlimited access to social apps. Perfect for families who do everything on Facebook and Messenger.
Power All FB 99 — ₱99 (7 Days)
What you get:
- 7GB open-access data (YouTube, Google, etc.)
- Unlimited Facebook & Messenger
- Valid for 7 days
Best for: Weekly video calls without worrying about data cap. Great budget option for families who primarily use Messenger.
Power All 449 — ₱449 (30 Days)
The heavy hitter.
What you get:
- 24GB open-access data (good for YouTube, streaming, browsing)
- Unlimited Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger
- Valid for 30 days
Best for: Families who live on social media. Video calls on Messenger, scrolling Instagram, watching Reels — all without eating into your main data.
Pro tip: This is the sweet spot for OFW families. One package per month keeps everyone connected.
Magic Apps: Data That Doesn't Expire
Not sure when your family will use the data? Magic Apps doesn't expire.
Magic Apps 399 — ₱399 (No Expiry)
What you get:
- 36GB data for specific apps:
- Facebook
- Messenger
- WhatsApp
- Viber
- YouTube
- Instagram
- TikTok
- X (Twitter)
- No expiry — data stays until fully consumed
Best for: Families with irregular internet habits. If your parents only call once a week, this lasts months.
Which One Should You Choose?
Pro Tips
1. Video calls use ~1GB per hour
Messenger video calls consume about 1GB per hour on standard quality. A 30-minute daily call = ~15GB per month.
2. Unli FB doesn't mean unli video
Facebook video calls count as Messenger data. Instagram video calls? That's open-access data.
3. Check remaining data
Dial *123# to check your balance. Or use the Smart App.
4. Stack promos smart
Can't decide? You can load multiple packages. Example: Power All 449 + Magic Apps 399 = backup data for months.
Fine Print
- Power All promos require Smart LTE/5G SIM
- Unli FB/Messenger may slow down after heavy use (Fair Use Policy)
- Magic Apps data is app-specific — can't be used for general browsing
- Promo availability varies by region
- Always register via Smart App or *123#
FAQ
Can I use Power All for WhatsApp calls?
No. Power All's unlimited social media covers Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger only. WhatsApp uses your open-access data. For WhatsApp calls, use Magic Apps 399 — it includes WhatsApp.
Which promo is best for Viber?
Magic Apps 399. Viber is included in the app list, and the data doesn't expire.
How long does 36GB last for video calls?
On Messenger: about 36 hours of video calls. If your family calls 30 minutes daily, that's 72 days of calls.
Can I extend my Power All promo?
No. Once expired, load a new package. But you can load a new one before the old one ends — data stacks.
Do these work for Smart Bro?
Yes. Power All and Magic Apps work on Smart Bro Pocket WiFi and Smart Bro SIM.
