How Magic Data 199 Works
Once activated, the 6 GB data is stored in your Smart account. You can use it anytime for browsing, streaming, or hotspot sharing. There’s no fixed number of days to consume it — your data remains available until fully used.
However, your SIM must remain active. If you don’t use or reload for several months, your SIM might be deactivated, and your remaining Magic Data will be lost.
How to Check Remaining Magic Data Balance
You can track your data balance through several methods:
| Method | Steps |
| Smart App | Open Smart App → Dashboard → Data Balance |
| Dial Code | *123# → Balance → Data Balance |
| Text Message | Type BAL and send to 214 |
| USSD Shortcut | Dial *123#, choose “Check Balance” |
Always check your data usage before turning on mobile hotspot or heavy streaming — since the data doesn’t renew automatically, it’s best to monitor how much remains.
Who Should Use Magic Data 199
Magic Data 199 fits a wide range of users, but it’s especially practical for:
| User Type | Why It Works |
| Students | Use data only when studying or doing research, no waste between terms |
| Freelancers | Ideal for flexible online work schedules |
| Travelers | Keeps your data available between trips |
| Light Users | For occasional browsing, banking, or messaging |
| Backup SIM owners | Perfect as a standby data source |
When Magic Data 199 Might Not Be Ideal
- If you consume large amounts of data daily (streaming, gaming, work uploads).
- If your SIM often becomes inactive for long periods.
- If you prefer promos with unlimited data or daily refreshes.
In those cases, other Smart offers like Giga Video, Power All, or All Data plans may be more suitable.
Magic Data vs Other Promos
| Promo | Price | Data Volume | Expiry | Ideal For |
| Magic Data 99 | ₱99 | 2 GB | None | Light users |
| Magic Data 199 | ₱199 | 6 GB | None | Moderate users |
| Magic Data 399 | ₱399 | 24 GB | None | Heavy users |
| Giga Video 99 | ₱99 | 2 GB + app data | 7 days | Streaming users |
| Power All 99 | ₱99 | 8 GB total | 7 days | Short-term use |
Magic Data 199 balances cost and flexibility — it’s not the cheapest per GB, but the “no expiry” feature gives it long-term value.
How to Know If Your SIM Is Eligible
- Your SIM must be Smart Prepaid, TNT, or Smart Bro.
- Your SIM must be registered and active.
- You should have sufficient load (₱199 or more).
If you dial *123# and don’t see “Magic Data” in the menu, restart your phone or update your Smart App — older SIMs sometimes require a system refresh.
Maintaining Your No-Expiry Data
Even though Magic Data doesn’t expire, your SIM’s activity still matters. To keep your promo active:
- Maintain at least ₱1 load on your SIM.
- Send a text or make a short call every few weeks.
- Avoid leaving your SIM idle for 120 days or more.
Tips to Maximize Magic Data 199
- Turn off auto-updates. Background updates drain data.
- Use Wi-Fi for streaming. Save your Magic Data for mobility.
- Track usage regularly. Open the Smart App weekly.
- Avoid data-hungry apps (video autoplay, cloud backups).
- Buy multiple promos if you want to stockpile data — they stack safely.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Promo not activating | Insufficient load | Ensure ₱199 or more before subscribing |
| Data not working | Mobile data off or APN issue | Enable data or reset APN settings |
| Can’t see promo on menu | Outdated menu or app | Restart phone or update Smart App |
| Balance not showing | Network delay | Wait a few minutes and check again |
| SIM inactive | No usage for months | Reload and use before 120 days pass |
How to Combine Magic Data with Other Promos
You can combine Magic Data with other Smart promos. For example:
- Pair it with Giga Video for streaming bonuses.
- Use it alongside Power All for social app bundles.
- Keep Magic Data as your backup — it only depletes when used.
Smart automatically prioritizes promo usage in order of activation. So if you have both Magic Data and another data promo, it will consume from the one with the shortest expiry first.
