Established in 2007, MyPhone is the first and one of the pioneer in local phone brands in the Philippines. It was introduced to the Filipino’s as the first dual-SIM phone with and the iconic Philippine map designed at the back of every phone which is according to the company’s CEO and founder Mr. David Lim symbolizes dignity of a being Filipino.
Competing against giant mobile brands back then like Nokia, MyPhone captivated the pulse of common Filipinos, the “Masses” by offering it’s novelty features released through the pre-embedded Pinoy App with patented contents.

Over the past 13 years, these customized features set the MyPhone apart from its counterparts; Hence, making it the leading Pinoy phone brand in the country.
‘PRAYERS, the world’s greatest wireless connection’
This year, a pandemic happened that drastically changed our lifestyle. It has affected not only our everyday lives and our work, but also tested our well-being and faith. As a Catholic-majority nation, most of us believe that prayers truly are an effective way to combat such troubles and hardships.
Personally, even before being part of the company back in 2012, MyPhone was one of my very first personal phone and I really liked it’s feature that automatically prays in the morning, afternoon and evening. It also reminded me of special events in the country like holidays.
One prayer content that is very close to my heart, that whenever I am feeling sick or down was the “Healing Prayers” by Father Suarez and Father Faller.
