Smart lists Telus as the partner network

PLDT wireless unit Smart announced on Thursday, June 17, that its 5G roaming service is now live in Canada, listing Telus as the regional partner.

The Canada roaming service went live two days after Globe on June 15. The two rival telecommunications companies have been neck-and-neck in their rollout of their roaming services supporting the new 5G network standard. Globe’s US roaming service went live on June 17 while Smart’s US roaming service went live in May 2021. Both companies are currently in the middle of rolling out 5G sites domestically.

Smart currently has 5G roaming service in 21 countries with 30 telco partners.
