How to fix Smart not working
Smart is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach smart.com.ph over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Switch networks for Smart
Turn Airplane Mode on for a few seconds, then off, which drops and rebuilds the radio link. If the app still stalls, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data; one route can fail while the other works.
Restart the app
Close the app from the recent-apps screen and open it again, since that clears a stuck session and takes only a few seconds. Try it first.
Clear cache on Android
Open Settings > Apps > See all apps > Smart > Storage & cache, then tap Clear cache. On iPhone there is no cache button; go to the reinstall step.
Reinstall the app
Delete the app and install it again from your phone's app store; restart the phone first if the install fails. If the app still fails to load, compare the report level at the top of this page before you spend more time on the phone.
While Smart is down: what to use instead
- Mobile browser Open the Smart website in your phone browser when the app stalls or refuses to load.
- Another carrier's SIM A prepaid SIM from a different network keeps calls, texts, and mobile data working if the Smart signal drops.
- Wi-Fi calling Turn on Wi-Fi calling on your phone when you have a stable internet connection and the mobile network is unreliable.
- Viber or WhatsApp Message people over Wi-Fi with Viber or WhatsApp if they use the same app and you need to reach them without mobile service.
Problems at the same time as Smart
Since 28 October, all 3 of Smart's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Smart goes down
Smart is a mobile network with an app for account top-ups, and subscribers plus small businesses lean on it for calls, texts, mobile data, and payments. When the service falters, your call drops and mobile data stalls, so work and errands stop in place.
During an outage, mobile data may stall and pages hang, while calls fail to connect or drop mid-call; texts can queue up and arrive late. The Smart app may refuse to load your balance or top-up screen, and store payments tied to the number can fail at the counter. Trouble often starts in one area or on one feature, so a phone that shows no service or a single dead app screen does not prove the whole network is down. Service can return in stages.

How we track Smart
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Smart, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Smart, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Smart doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
