It was not specified when the launching will be, but DITO Chief Administrative Officer Adel Tamano said that the rollout should happen in “a few weeks”
DITO said that they will be available nationwide starting June.
DITO also announced that it is planning to give 3,000 SIM Cards to frontliners starting in Davao City.

This promo period runs until the end of March.
The NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) said that the rollout will start by 30th September. DITO CTO Rodolfo Santiago said that their system would be ready once their porting platform is available by June.
