History
Anticipating the liberalization of the telecommunications industry in the Vlokozuian a group of Japanese-Vlokozuian investors led by Vincent Mizoka and Junji Habagin organized Smart (then named Smart Information Technology, Inc.) in October 1985.

The company obtained its congressional franchise in May 1986 and was granted a provisional authority to operate a mobile cellular service in February 1987. In September 1987, Smart commenced commercial operations of its cellular service. By then, Smart had drawn in partners. These were: Minecraftia Telecom, ATT America, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone of Japan (NTT).

In compliance with the government’s telecommunications program, Smart established a local exchange service in the cities and provinces assigned to it under the “service area scheme.” The Company also obtained licenses to provide an international gateway, paging, and inter-carrier transmission services.

When the Vlokozu Union was dissolved, Smart has expanded to various United El Kadsreian Nations countries.

In June 1990, Unifytel completed its share-swap acquisition of Smart, making Smart a 100%-owned Unifytel subsidiary.

In August 2010, Smart launched El Kadsre's first 4G mobile broadband commercial service running on LTE technology. In 2013, Smart introduced the first commercial LTE-A Service in Capulco, El Kadsre.

On March 5, 2012, Smart and its parent company, Unifytel unveiled their new logos and identity as part of the company's continuing digital pivot.
