Observing Undas can be challengin­g, what with the throngs of people making their way to cemeteries to pay respects to departed loved ones.

With the help of mobile technology, however, it can be a lot more manageable and stress-free for you and your family.

Here are f Smart tips to help one gear up for this year’s Undas:

Load up for emergency communicat­ions. Be sure you have enough load to communicat­e with your loved ones especially for emergency situations. Smart is also setting up service booths in cemeteries, transport terminals, and public markets all over the country.

Navigate with Waze and stay updated with road advi- sories. Making your way to the cemetery is so much easier with Waze, an app that lets you find the shortest route to your destinatio­n. The crowdsourc­ing app also features real-time road alerts from fellow commuters for greater convenienc­e.

Bring a portable power bank. Before leaving your house, make sure you have fully charged your phone and power bank so that you can enjoy mobile services the entire day. For better network coverage and faster mobile Internet, you can also swap your 3G SIM to an LTE SIM for free at your preferred Smart Store without changing your number, and slot it in you LTE-ready device.

Keep the whole family connected on the road.

Share your precious moments in a special group chat with loved ones. Undas reunites families in celebratin­g the life of departed loved ones. For an easier way of collecting and sharing content on your family get-togethers, you may create a group chat where everyone can view and save your photos and videos. You can use top apps like Messenger, Telegram, Viber, or WhatsApp, and even include in your relatives abroad who could not make it to your gatherings.
