question for Singtel recontracting if anyone experience this:

I assume iPhone X will be avail in SG on December and by then I'm on my 20th month contract so eligible for new phone upgrades, Do I get additional charge if I switch from Easy Mobile to those other contract? Just found out recent months getting extra sim are not allowed for easy mobile which sux if you want to share data.

It will be available on november 3rd. But if you are thinking of getting in December. 20th month will get additional charges but prorated. You have to call to check. Would recommend you to see if they allow you to change to normal plan as easy mobile is a 24month contract.
