For virtual assistance executive Mygie Capina, supporting her 15-year-old daughter Miyake\u2019s journey as an internationally ranked fencer requires a delicate balance.<\/p>\n

Miyake, who began fencing in 2017, is ranked fourth in the Philippines at the senior level, and is a member of the National Training pool and the De La Salle Zobel fencing varsity team. Key to Miyake\u2019s success are access to quality coaching and exposure to trainings and competitions. The mother and daughter pair travels abroad three to four times a year for these events, including the recent Junior and Cadet World Championship in China.<\/p>\n

Balancing her demanding career with her daughter’s rigorous training requires Mygie to stay connected at all times through digital tools like international VoIP calls, messaging apps and email. “I need to be constantly online to stay in contact with my colleagues and team,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

The international roaming service of Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) plays a crucial role in enabling Mygie to seamlessly manage her work while supporting Miyake\u2019s athletic pursuits. \u201cIt’s easier for me since it’s part of my postpaid plan. I don\u2019t have to worry about ordering an international SIM card or mobile WiFi device when we travel,\u201d she says. Instead, she simply subscribes to a roaming package and turns on her mobile data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s easier if you’re on the phone connected to international roaming instead of searching for a restaurant or coffee shop for WiFi connection,\u201d Mygie adds.<\/p>\n

Activating Smart\u2019s international roaming service is a breeze, according to Mygie. \u201cIt’s easy when I’ve already subscribed to a package using the GigaRoam website. We just receive a welcome message once we land in a different country,\u201d she states.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the service, Mygie advises checking data usage to avoid billing surprises, particularly via the Smart App and the Giga Roam website or seeking assistance through the Smart Facebook chat.<\/p>\n

With Smart\u2019s international roaming service, Mygie effectively juggles her responsibilities as a business owner and a supportive parent to an internationally ranked athlete.<\/p>\n
