Try call them and ask.

PS: For multiSIM, they WILL offer u 2 new SIM care(or more if opted), ur existing ones needs to be replaced. Since this was not done during december, i guess u'll nid to pay registration fee and one-time charge of 2 new sim cards.

[pesicola123]

but for the Handphone mobile 'B', can i still retain the number?

[mamboberg]

same here too, I got lucky and got a nice prize from the lucky draw too. Acer mini computer with a 17'' widescreen. hehe

:s31:you are one lucky ****!

[riderxps]

Aiyah, lucky to win the prize. But today went down to hello singtel to get multi sim and was told that mine data sim line from the IT show must be new line and not use my existing line.sian. Cannot change to my existing line.sian

[trojan75]

I signed up for the BBOM 1800 during the IT show. Got a new data sim card and the huawei usb modem. I specifically asked the Singtel personnel who served me whether I can tie up this BBOM with my singtel mobile line. He told me CAN but they are unable to do so at the IT show. I have to make a trip to Singtel Hello shop.

So I went down to Parkway Hello shop this afternoon, waited 30min to be served and the CSO told me its not possible. I told him his colleague who served me at IT show said its possible and he gave me a sarcastic look and told me to go look for that person. Damn it, where do I go to look for him? At IT SHOW which is already closed??? Then he told me to call the BBOM hotline 18004844688 to check.

I left the Hello shop a disgusted and angry customer. :mad:

I made a call to BBOM hotline at 12.14pm and spoke to the CSO, he also said I cannot tie the BBOM to my mobile line. I told him the same story again, I had confirmed with the CSO during IT show that I am able do so before I signed up the BBOM. He told me he needs to check with his manager and would call me back in 10mins. 12.45pm, still no call from them. So I called the hotline again, served by another CSO and she told me to wait the call as they need time to check. Now its already 3.35pm still no call.

Sian ah.....

[riderxps]

Bro, we in the same boat lah. I told the cso they never told me must be new line sign up only. but she don't believe me and said they all super experience cso there and cannot have made a mistake so it must be me the customer law.

[Sambuca78]

same here too, I got lucky and got a nice prize from the lucky draw too. Acer mini computer with a 17'' widescreen. hehe


how come there is not lucky draw when i went with my fren to sign up the 512??? :s11:

I got one white color Huawei modem during the IT show and go to huawei's website flash the latest firmware...... what's the difference between the black huawei Singtel logo modem and the white one? I believe in terms of hardware revision black one should be newer, and better, right?

and anyone tried to compare the samsung and huawei's performance? actually before i sign, i did study online, someone said for samsung and huawei's modem the downloading speed is almost the same but the uploading speed huawei can exceed 100kbps but samsung's is about 50+, so i choose the huawei, but today after the service has been activated, i got this result.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/244434542.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
the uploading and downloading speed should be proportional to each other regardless the location which means if at location A, the device got 5xx kbps for downloading and 5x for uploading, then if location B the device got 3xx for downloading, more or less the uploading should be 3x kbps.
then why the huawei's uploading is a little poor, since I saw someone post 5xx for downloading and 13x for uploading

anyone here can share there samsung modem's performance? you may go to http://www.speedtest.net/ to check, remember to close all your downloading and uploading during testing.

[JiaJiaLoveU]

for the mobile modem there are 3 parts of "software"
1. firmware
2. driver
3. dial-up client software which you can connect/disconnect and monitor the status.

for Huawei's modem
1. firmware can upgrade, i saw there are some quite new released in the past 1 year and the latest version is few days ago which means they are still supporting the device.
2. driver, this one no need bother both windows xp and vista can detect
3. this one must install by yourself, which means if i go to one PC like school PC which i do not have the administrator right, the PC may can detect my device but i am also not able to install the client software for me to connect/disconnect the connection...... the modem is still useless on the PC which i do not have the administrator right....... it is not REAL plug and play....

then what happen for the samsung device, can anyone here help to state in terms of firmware, driver and dial-up clients?
1. can i assume firmware for samsung is quite few compare with huawei's one but since it's performance is not bad so no need release so many firmware to fix/improve anything?
2. for the driver, someone said it is not plug and play but sine installation also cannot avoid for huawei, can i simly load the driver into the memory card of the device and install the driver on the new PC?
3. client software also need to install or it is even better can load direct from memory card?

3. client software also need to install or it is even better can load direct from memory card?1. no idea are there any new firmwares.

2. yes, there's a cd included to install the driver.

3. client software also need cd to install

actually samsung modem is same as sony ericsson pc card, drivers + client software are installed from a cdrom.

so which means the samsung one even i set the modem as one thumb driver with memory card, the device still need drive to be detectable by the PC?

or if use the samsung modem as a thumb drive so that there is no drive needed for windows to detect this device then I can copy the whole CD-ROM into the memeory card inside the samsung device, after install the driver and clients software then convert it to be a modem, is it possible?

only 1st time use modem then install driver.

the "thumbdrive" is auto-detect and install as mass storage, just as any thumbdrive/card reader. :o

I have not tried copying into its microsd card and try. Now the modem already in my sister house. :o

Hi, one knows whether still got this promotion or not.. the 12 months free 6 months....

[mamboberg]

i notice this plan can SMS .. i do not own any singtel number so how much do i need to pay per sms? same rates or is there a certain free sms?

[westkimi]

Why the Samsung modem software everytime startup always default to GB Vodafone UK profile?

[steffan7]

there's a singtel number to ur sim card. Refer to ur singtel confirmation letter. sms is charged at 5cents each...no free ones...

[cnotsniw]

Those who are thinking of jumping onto the bandwagon, do re-consider. This is my experience so far.

6/3 : Signed up @ IT Show; got the Samsung Z800
10/3: Still not connected. Called up CSO who said she'll do an urgent activation.
11/3: Still no connection
12/3: Still no connection. Called up CSO and did some Internet/Network settings. Still no connection. Error message "Setting APN failed" She said need to contact Samsung to check fault and would get back to me in 1-2 days! :eek: asked her if can change modem @ any Hello Shops. Answer: No! Checked with her and the contract date is effective 6/3. 1 week liao and no connection ... sibei TL already ... told her that i wanna set the contract date to be effective from date of activation (if it ever gets activated); otherwise, im gonna terminate the contract. :mad:

Together with the lemon Jabra BT they gave ... im helluva disappointed ....

So, bros/sis out there. Do think twice or thrice ....

[kotori]

hmm...

i subscribe my plan on friday evening at the it show, chose the huawei modem, the cso informed me that it will be activated on tuesday. i stayed up late just to try it at 1AM tuesday and it was working fine..

i think it is quite reknowned that singtel's helpline sucks bad, but maybe u're just a little unfortunate this time?

a paying customer has the right to choose, if it fails to work for you, try another lor.

anyway hope u get u thingy working fine

cheers!

So, bros/sis out there. Do think twice or thrice ....try to put the sim card in a 3G mobile phone and see if there's any signal. Use the 3G phone to surf net, if oyu know the settings.

see if sim card not working or modem.

[Igene]

Got a question about this HuaWei modem. It comes with a utility to check statistics. That is so cool but I discovered that when I reboot the computer (I don't leave my computer on forever so...), the statistics got reset to ZERO (0) leh. Like that I don't know how much is my accumulative usage liao.

[fi5hbone]

Signed up on Monday evening. Activated Tuesday evening. No further issues. But I believe you do have a case in asking for the billing to start upon activation.

Hi
Was told by the customer officer at the IT show that I can sign up for 2 data sim cards, just like multisim (as I don't have any voice plans with them). Since they are busy, they told me to go any singtel shop to sign pay (gotta pay registration and monthly multisim fees).

Did anyone sign for another data sim card? Can it be done without having any singtel voice subscription?

Tks

Has anyone signed up multisim as 2 data sim cards? Or any other alternatives? Or has to sign a voice plan to sign up for multisim?

Hi All,

Using Huawei E220 as a modem for my laptop, in order to get the max speed for 512mb do i need to turn on N95 to 3g ?

I did some test as follows : -

without turn on the N95 to 3g
speedtest result down: less than 200 and up:less than 100

turn on the N95 to 3g
speedtest result down:690kbps up:340kbps

Pls advise cos i don't feel like turn on the 3g on the HP wasting battery power...

[Martel]

Hi All, anyone can advise me ?

[leinad]

I overheard someone saying that 50GB per month is unlimited, so I sat down to calculate the figures.

Take for example, 50GB. I'll take that to be 50,000,000,000 bytes per month max.

Suppose a person is connected every second downloading at 100% capacity. The maximum possible length of time would be:
31 (days) x 24 (hours) x 60 (minutes) x 60 (seconds) = 2,678,400 seconds a month

For a person with a 512kbps plan:
512kbps = 64 kbytes per second (using a divide-by-8 to convert bits to bytes).

That works out to be : 171,417,600,000 bytes, or about 171.5GB! So yes, you can exceed if you are connected 24/7 at 100% efficiency.

And yes, the numbers just grow accordingly if you have faster plans. Please do take note of the 50GB limit. Even at 50% efficiency (which is much more realistic), you are still exceeding by a good 35GB of data (85,708,800,000)!

So for those of you who think you can torrent on the go, think twice please.

Looks like singtel better, I'm gonna ditch my stupid m1 plan, so more no promo, no offers for us

1 qn, i know 512 offers best value. but does the 1.8mb plan really translates to faster download speeds in the real world? not sure which plan to get

Yes, you need to turn on 3G in order to utilize HSDPA(3.5G) speeds, else it's only GPRS.

Can this kinda mobile plan be used in for my networked computers at home? I run a vv conventional ADSL with a D-Lnk ethernet router. IS there any way/device to insert the SIm card into and connect to the D-link router so the whole network can use the internet connection?

Can anyone verify the 6 month free is still on? If yes how to get the better deal?


I really want to ditch my M1 BB. It really sucks! At least once a day when I'm using it will just have 0kb in and out. And I have to disconnect and reconnect. In the past it used to be every hour get dropped signal. Stupid M1!

Anyhow what's the comments about Starhub's MaxMobile?

In consistent. some CSO ask you to pay, some waived off. I spend 3 hours arguing with the CSO, in the end still not insisted that I pay. So I got 2 separate sim card. 1 for voice, 1 for data. :(

subscribe to SNMM must subscribe a voice line with them also? :s11::s11:

[ironman4672]

1. No, you dont need to.
2. Can be both, new number or tie toexisting humber.

so if i have existing mobile phone line with singtel, and i sign up the mobile broadband... i still can cancel my existing singtel line anytime even before my mobile broadband's contract end rite?;););)

If modem spoilt, would need to go back to manufacturer, not singnet. eg. samsung modem had to go to samsung service centre for service.

so if i have existing mobile phone line with singtel, and i sign up the mobile broadband... i still can cancel my existing singtel line anytime even before my mobile broadband's contract end rite?;););)
Yes, if your bbom and phone are not the same number.:s22:

[Hanwudi]

does anyone know why the upload is always limits to about 50kbps? How to solve this? Upload has never go more than 60kbps
I am facing similar problem. I got mine for 3 month liao. Got the chance to test it more than half a dozen different places. Bedok, Bishan, Tampines, Marina etc... can't remember all. Upload always 50 to 60 kbps. How to solve this?:s11:

Overall i am very happy using it. Signed up a 2nd bbom line at IT show. one use for laptop and one for the phone.;)

SINGTEL BBOM speed recently very sucks....now managed to get this snails speed in 95% +- of signal strength. Already bth liao, almost 2 months. Prev can hit to 1700kbps up and 350kbps down and same signal strength.

KNN called to singtel, assist me to change some setting and blah blah blah, no improve at all.

I never change the location of my Huawei dongle, paste on the wall since the 1st day...super tulan

Hi ironman
Do you have any solutions if i need 2 data sim card (besides signing up for 2 data plans)? I try not to sign up another singtel voice plan cos already tied up with SH and coy also provide another hp line). Cos now very troublesome got to take out/put pback the data sim card between the pda phone and modem (for home desktop).

What modem did you use? Dont know if the slow upload is a modem problem or signtel problem.... So frustrating, especially sending large filesize emails.

[fi5hbone]

Why don't you call up Singtel to ask for a solution for this? Seems fair enough that they should come up with a logical solution right?

Huawei E220...

[pkchukiss]

I'm also experiencing slow data transfer speed with the BBOM. I called to complain, and they told me that they will feedback to the engineering section. The thing is, I have no way of checking to see if they're going to do anything about this issue at all...

[liangtam]

So far BBoM speed ish still reasonable. Else must offload ppl riao :)

[gundamz]

I guess samsung now only include a windows driver.

I saw on samsung website that this modem also support mac, maybe drivers not out yet?

not really lah... if the connection sucks, i will terminate them. i'm not a heavy user. so i find the speed acceptable and reasonably stable.

[pesicola123]

Hi All,

Thanks in advance,....

I don't think it is possible to connect E220 directly to PSP via USB, you could however, purchase a 3G HSDPA Router, attach E220 modem to the router, and connect the PSP via wifi to the router.

OR

Use your laptop to share the connection from E220 to wifi, connect your PSP using ad-hoc network.

[liangtam]

Even if for some reason can, the power output required by the modem would have killed the PSP :o

Hi, got a few questions for you guys...

1) Can make voice calls and SMSes from data sim?
2) Can recieve calls and SMS on BBoM number? If yes, is it free?
3) Ever encounter no signal anywhere?
4) Is VoIP blocked?

Anyone pairing Pfingo with BBoM?

[quekky]

1) yes, must pay
2) yes, incoming calls must pay, incoming sms free
3) so far so good
4) dunno, never try

[michael_thm]

Thank you quekky.

Anyone else can answer the last question for me?

I am interested in BBoM as my M1 voice plan contract is ending soon and I am thinking of switching to VoIP. Since my VoIP plan offer unlimited free calls and the basic VAS... I reckon that all I need is a stable data plan able to stream the VoIP calls. So will appreciate if anyone can enlighten me if VoIP is an issue on SingTel BBoM.

[bearbear801]

1) if it is data sim (ie not voice plan plux bbom as vas), cannot make voice calls. Sms can, 5cents/sms.
2) data sim cannot receive voice call. Sms can.
3) yes, rarely though
4) no

Yes, paired with pfingo. Seems to work better than maxmobile. However, a fully charged battery will be drained in hours, abt 3-4 hrs, simply stay connected to pfingo. Not to mention if you are making many calls.

Bah, guess SingTel BBoM in its present form won't cut it for me then. M1 BBV does have what I need but the reviews here scare me...zzz

About being drained by staying connected to pfingo... exactly what I am checking here... to overcome this problem... I was thinking of call forwarding the pfingo number to the BB number. This way I need only direct connect to pfingo for outgoing calls. M1 BBV does offer free incoming calls.

Luckily I still can wait for 4 months until my M1 voice plan is outta contract (need to keep my 10 years old number). Hope that in the meanwhile either SingTel MMoB morph to offer the same as M1 BBV or M1 BB improve on its bandwidth issue.


Thanks for the info guys.

M1BB does not have free incoming, I called and asked them before.

What you can do (like me), is to get a normal voice plan from Singtel, then addon the SMBB to the voice plan. that way you can surf net, do your VOIP, got free incoming, got 100 mins outgoing, got 500 outgoing sms for only $30-$40/mth

Yes M1BB does not have free incoming... But I am referring to M1BBV at $36. M1 BBV got free incoming.

SingTel Voice Plan + BBoM = $40 nia meh?

if you were to get it now u'll get 12 months free for 24 months contract, that's $11.20 monthly. Add in the $25 iOne Plus = $37, u still got some outgoing calls and sms + $100 off 3G phones or free HSDPA modem

and i find singtel have a more stable internet than M1, my collegues are using M1BB and they've been complaining about a lot of places no signal

[FireHobbit]

m1 is now like helpless le... the service is really terrible

Hi All,

Need your inputs on this issue.

I've been following this thread and it seem the topic of BBOM with multi sim has not been discussed much lately.

I have signed up yesterday at the HELLO shop the BBOM with dual sim card. But this afternoon, i was called up by Singtel saying the BBOM promotion cannot be activated on dual sim functionality?

Has any of you faced a similar situation? How did you solve the issue?

Appreciate any advice/input on this.

Thanks!

I am using dual sim card for my Singtel mobile broadband. For an additional $5 per mth I have 1 sim card for my PDA and another for my laptop ver the free Hauwei E220 modem.

You will have a primary and seconday sim card. Primary sim card can do everything...surf web, send/receive SMS and make/receive calls. Secondary sim card you can surf web concurrently with the primary sim card but you can only make out going call/SMS.

All the usage will be under 1 plan...50gb free for data usage and for calling/receiving phone calls will be under whatever phone plans you got.

You already have an existing SingTel Voice plan?

[ginseng1]

NOw sign up for 2 yrs n get 1 yr free

Cos free modem which is heavily subsidised.

The $100 off mobile handset not so worth.

Seems to have lots of buyers for Huawei modem. Probably they resell it elsewhere. Now that contract 2 years, the Huawei resale price should also increase proportionately.

[liangtam]

Will be quite happy to sign again if they have the same 1yr promo this dec :D
But then looks like it wont happen :(

how come my uplink has never gone beyond 60kbps?

ppl in this forum always get 200~300kbps... why mine so low???

but my down link is always good, above 600kpbs. so dont think its a coverage problem. i have tried at many diff areas, results are similar.

anyone know what shd i do?

Hi All,

Need your inputs on this issue.

I've been following this thread and it seem the topic of BBOM with multi sim has not been discussed much lately.

I have signed up yesterday at the HELLO shop the BBOM with dual sim card. But this afternoon, i was called up by Singtel saying the BBOM promotion cannot be activated on dual sim functionality?

Has any of you faced a similar situation? How did you solve the issue?

Appreciate any advice/input on this.

Thanks!
Are you using the 2-in-1 SIM or Multi-SIM? Only the latter is eligible. Here's their FAQ link that states that http://home.singtel.com/bbmobile/HS_faq.htm

Multi Sim - One SIM for my phone and the other for the Huawei modem...


Hmmm. I having the same problem.

Basically, I am already a Singtel subscriber. Currently have 1 SIM with 2 phones (i have to switch between them).

So I was thinking of getting the multi-sim and having 2 sims. Then I will be able to use the sim that is less often used for my mobile broadband as well... I was told cannot... now that I read the website, both the promo and the FAQ doesn't say it can't be done.

They give some nonsense what scared later 2 person use together to share. I reminded that there is a limit of 50GB... but they said it can be shared between 2 low usage users...

Gonna go back and throw the FAQ back into their face.

[Hanwudi]

which modem are you using?

I'm using huawei E220 modem.

[FireHobbit]

e220 and samsung z800 which one better?

[SG_Oops]

What maintenance takes so many days? All they say is wait only. I just subscribe last week and this is all i get.

1626 Send: "Maintenance? So i'm supposed to subscribe to a 2 years contract paying for your maintenance? Now i know why i know its a 1year-free-1year promotion. I'm supposed to expect it down half the time? Or maybe even better, more than half the time? You're fired!".

How is Singtel mobile broadband speed stability compared to Starhub maxmobile ?

[FireHobbit]

[liangtam]

Rather habe 50GB limit then unlimited.
The very exact problem lies in ur statement.

[ironman4672]

u use so much meh? if urs is 512kbps, dun think need to worry so much.... unless u use 24x7....;););)

[crobin]

u use so much meh? if urs is 512kbps, dun think need to worry so much.... unless u use 24x7....;););)

my calculations show that the limit would be 7 hrs x 30 days

[ironman4672]

;);)my calculations show that the limit would be 7 hrs x 30 days

i use less than 1 hr per day... so for me i do not need to worry abt exceeding the limit at all.....

[tanjhj]

BBOM is usually for mobile person with PDA or laptop. can battery last 7 hours?

[The_Davis]

if subscribe six months got anything free?

[ironman4672]

[liangtam]

1 mth free nia

[FireHobbit]

hard to reach that lmit...

[dao]

the latest promotion is worst.

24 mths with 12 mths free is application for data plan only. no longer applicable for vas. also $100 off 3g phone is also gone.

[FireHobbit]

100 dollar off is there...

[dao]

100 dollar off is there...

today's strait times, not there. singtel website, not there. called 1626, told me not there. can tell me where you you see the 100 dollar off?

[FireHobbit]

i saw on http://home.singtel.com/bbmobile/HS_price.htm

but they removed le... guess no more promo le

[renrub]

I just got this BBOM with 24mths contract, with 12mths free and the huawei hdspa modem free. This is on a new data line (i.e. they gave me a free sim card with a different number for this BBOM)

Previously I had BBOM on my singtel line, which was a VAS. So i terminated it today.

From what I know, you get the $100 voucher only if you sign up BBOM as a VAS on your current mobile line, you will not be entitled to the free hsdpa modem.

Only if you sign up a new data line (which is FOC), then you can get the hdspa modem free but NOT the $100 voucher.

Hope its accurate and clears up

[liangtam]

oh noes, too many ppl abuse it riao....
next time must rly keep it to moiself :s34::o

hmm... buy 24 mths, got 12 mths free wor .............................

[ginseng1]

Wonder whether got recontract once left with 3 months for my BBOM?

When was this BBOM first introduced? I believe the first batch should have less than 3 months left on their 1 year contract.

Recontract to get a free modem which I'll then sell it away :D

Singtel BBOM staff, you read that and you know alot of people are selling the modem. Singtel so nice to give free modem unlike M1.

Wonder what's the cost price of the modem to Singtel since they earn only $290 for the duration of the 2 years contract.

[liangtam]

You forgot about those who got it paying 6 mth only for a yr subscription reh.
The cost adds up to $134.52, which must have cost for the service, modem and free sim reh.

Sounds like making a loss.
