MANILA — Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART), the Philippines’ leading wireless
services provider, set a new standard for the country’s wireless
industry with the availability of the most affordable third-generation
(3G) handset for its post-paid and pre-paid subscribers.
The LG Mobile, LG KU250 prepaid phonekit retails at only P6,290.00, and
will make available Smart’s numerous 3G services to a much wider
subscriber base. Selected by the GSM Association (GSMA) to lead the
worldwide “3G For All” campaign announced during the 2007 3GSM World
Congress in Barcelona, the LG KU250 is an entry-level 3G phone that is
more than well-equipped to handle basic wireless communication needs as
well as multimedia-rich 3G content and services.

With the LG KU250, subscribers can also access Smart’s 3G services, like Video
Calling, Full-track Music Downloads, Video Streaming, Video Dating, and a lot more.

milestone for Smart. Offering this product demonstrates our commitment
to providing not only affordable 3G services, but also affordable
