DITO SIM: Unlock a World of Possibilities and Hidden Features

By

DITO SIM 5G has finally arrived on Philippine shores!

DITO SIM compatible devices and smartphones

But this does not mean 4G devices, unlisted phones whether it’s compatible or not can’t avail of these services, I believe with the arrival of the Third (3rd) Telco Player things will level the playing field, in terms of the competition it will bring better opportunities and improved services.

In addition, 5G towers may bring backward compatibility on 4G phones or later, whichever is the case.

Enter DITO SIM, which was launched last March 8, 2021, in select areas in Cebu and Davao. Social Media trends, potential customers, and clients buzzing the web on the sim reservation found out DITO SIM cards only work best on VoLTE (Voice over LTE) capable handsets.

List of Compatible Phones/Handsets as of March 8, 2021

DITO Official website explains:

The DITO SIM card only works with select DITO compatible VoLTE mobile phones as DITO uses next-generation technology. In order to fully maximize the DITO experience, we recommend using only compatible mobile phones.

DITO SIM APN Settings

If your smartphone is not on the list worry no more. Here’s a quick workaround, minor tweaks to get your device ready:

  1. Edit your APN settings
  2. Turn on VoLTE on your handset.
  3. Go to Settings > Mobile network > Mobile data > Turn on 4G or 5G > Turn on VoLTE calls
  4. Tap Access Point Names (APNs) > Tap the 3-button navigation and select New APN
  • NAME: Dito Telecom
  • APN: ctnet
  • USERNAME: ctwap@mycdma.cn
  • PASSWORD: vnet.mobi
  • Save and restart your phone for settings to take effect.

In my case having a Redmi Note 8 on hand may require a bit of tweaking, and technical background experience.

  1. You can simply dial *#*#4636#*#* 
  2. Choose Phone information.
  3. Click ” Phone Information” and Toggle VOLTE Provisioned.
  4. Restart your mobile phone and you then are done.
