As early as last January 16, 2020 - you saw it here #RNTDFirst about Smart Communications initial roll-out of 5G sims on Smart Prepaid
Based on what we got, the 5G sim card is selling as low as Php 30 (shipping is not included if you buy for example, Shopee) to Php 999 pesos mainly that it is a vanity number.

Finally, one of their executives issued a statement thru local tech site Yugatech earlier as PLDT- Smart Public Affairs Head Mon Isberto said " Actually, we started to deploy 4G SIMs that are 5G-ready last year. What’s new is the packaging. We will soon provide people a simple test to find out if your 4G SIM is 5G ready. Future-proofing our SIMs is part of our step by step preparations for the launch of 5G later this year. This is aligned with preparations being done for rolling out 5G in our network as well as for making 5G handsets and devices that are certified for use in the Smart network available for customers interested in moving up to 5G."
Based on the packaging, the official SRP of Smart Prepaid 5G sim is only Php 40 with 1 GB free mobile internet. It will work on 5G phones but it will also be effective if you are only using an LTE-capable smartphone
