Smart Family Ties + Instagram the Fam!

While Berry & Xavi are too young to be carrying around their own mobile phones, here's something for those of you with school aged kids who have been bugging for their own mobile numbers!

Smart recently launched the Smart Family Ties postpaid plan, which comes with three lines and three handsets. You and your family members get to choose from this array of smartphones like the O+ USA 8.2, O+ USA 8.31, Lenovo A269i, Alcatel Magic, Lenovo A369i and the O+ 8.37:

Family Ties Plan 900 includes unlimited calling within the family circle, unlimited SMS to Smart subscribers and 200 all-network texts, as well as 100MB of free data for each line.

Family Ties Plan 1800 comes with unlimited calls and texts to all Smart subscribers, 200 free all-network texts and 300MB of free monthly data for each line.

If you've got more than one kid, no prob! Family Ties subscribers may add up to six additional lines per subscription by just adding P300 per line for Plan 900 and P600 per line for Plan 1800.

Ayan, no excuse not to stay in touch!

But the best reason why you should go for a Smart Family Ties plan is the SAFETY feature via the Vodafone Guardian app:

In partnership with telco leader Vodafone, Smart will be exclusively offering the Vodafone Guardian App as a pre-installed app on smartphones, available under the Family Ties Plans. 

The Vodafone Guardian app works like a virtual parent in a sense. With just a few taps on the app, parents can set call and text-messaging filters and ban certain numbers from contacting their children, which helps prevent the risk of cyberbullying.

The Vodafone Guardian App also allows parents to block certain features at certain times, such as banning the use of games when it's homework time. The app offers enough flexibility so that parents can tailor-fit how the app protects their children based on their unique parenting styles. 

To celebrate the launch of the Smart Family Ties plan, Smart launched their online promo: #SmartFamilyTies and a TVC just this Wednesday, inviting supermoms Janice Villanueva of Mommy Mundo and SoMoms and PR practitioner Ana Ongpin to talk about how technology helps in keeping families stay closer.

And now, more on the promo. Smart wants you to post your family photos on Instagram, with a possibility of your family to be featured in their online ads.

There will be different themes in the next few months. For every theme, winners get a chance to win smartphones, restaurant GCs and other cool prizes. The grand prize at the end of the campaign is an overnight stay in Sofitel for the entire amily.
