Where did u see it from?didnt see the above mentioned offer on the smbb site. thanks.

[seowbin]

non singtel custoemr got such offer also? :D

[undiscern]

http://home.singtel.com/bbmobile/HS_price.htm

Apparently just started on 11 Dec! I went down to sign, thinking the Christmas bundle is very cheap liao (free 3mths, singnet 30% off, but need to pay sim card and registration fee). Then was told this new promotion. So cheap! I use it as a home broadband.

Of course for people needing faster access and multiple usage, SNBB is still useful. But if you are the only single user in your household, then this MBB is unbeatable! Of course things may change at the end of contract, but heck care, lets enjoy it for 1 yr and see wats in store after the contract.

[hq83]

non singtel custoemr got such offer also? :D
should be for everyone..

[undiscern]

non singtel custoemr got such offer also? :D I think so. Because they will issue a new sim card and you will sign a contract. It has nothing to do with your mobile phone line. Think of it as signing a new mobile line, everyone is welcome. but that is what I think, no harm going down to check.

btw connection is pretty smooth, and no hick up yet. Huawei network selection is auto-switching between WCDMA and HSPDA but no disruption to surfing.

[hq83]

look like now theres no more 30% off for singnet/mio subscriber already..

[undiscern]

look like now theres no more 30% off for singnet/mio subscriber already..
Yup, but this new offering is a much better deal than the 30% off promo.

I read some where that people queue up 5 hrs at Taka singtel fair last weekend for the MBB with free data sim card... poor thing...

[dk2000]

should i get this for wireless surfing on my laptop?

[huige]

is there anyway to monitor the usage so that we will not over the limit of 50G /mth?

[gundamz]

Yup, but this new offering is a much better deal than the 30% off promo.

I read some where that people queue up 5 hrs at Taka singtel fair last weekend for the MBB with free data sim card... poor thing...

weekend leh! of course it is crowded.

=:p


I waited at another hello shop in the west for about 1 hour ++ though.. next time i dun want go sign up thing during weekend again.. SO CROWDED! freaking long queue!

Lucky, this offer come at the right time.. i was planning to go for 30% discount plan..

[CubeFX]

is there anyway to monitor the usage so that we will not over the limit of 50G /mth?

previously singtel said they will come up with this kinda utility but not sure if it's ready..

i only know M1 one confirm have.. although they have unlimited usage now.

i only know M1 one confirm have.. although they have unlimited usage now.

does they use the same modem? probably can use M1's software to monitor :> or there may be 3rd party software to monitor?

Tempted to signup right now, but wondering which of the three I should take up. No where to feel the speed difference leh. btw, is it comparable in terms of downloading as compare to normal bb?

[VickyToh]

Yes. I can testify that "undiscern"'s info given is correct. I've just signed up few days back.

Mine was 512Kbps at $11/- per month effectively. I'll be billed every alternate month. But take note that when the 12 months contract period is over, I have to pay $22/- plus $5/- each month. Checked with CSO that cencellation is 3 days in advance, so got to make it a point to remember cancellation date.....

My 512kbps is being used as secondary BBom service, speed wise cannot compare with my existing SHMM unlimited..... Also please note that Singnet BBom 512kbps is NOT your regular ADSL 512kbps, its much slower...... but good enough for light surfing and emails, etc. Otherwise you'll have to subscribe for higher speed service..... and pay more too!

[lightchaser]

is the Singtel 512 plan fast enuff ? I am on the M1 512 plan...very slow leh

[seowbin]

anyone know if i go sign up now will get everything bo? :D


will return my m1 bb later den sign up singtel one again :s13:

[Desmond_]

wah lau... damn cheap sia..

The Huawei E220 modem comes embedded with the auto installation programme; Mobile Partner

This utility allows you to connect/disconnect, send sms and most importantly, monitor data usage (daily, monthly & yearly, can be reset) and show transfer speed (upload and download).

In layman terms, it took 4 sec (from the point I click on QUOTE till the Reply to Thread Message box) to load the Reply page for me to enter the message.

I would say it is reasonably fast. Of course it depends on your area and time too.

Yes, I just verify this too in Hello Shop. The Huawei software can let you track usage (good!), there is connection of 3.6 Mbps for testing in Hello shop, speed is quite ok.

[undiscern]

Well, we can only hope that by the end of our contract, there will be new promotion to encourage us to recontract.:)

Personally I would think that price should drop as technology improves and market share grows.

[ware_hard]

Bro, please PM me if your decided to sign up and opt for $100 phone voucher. I'll pay $150 for the USB Modem. :look:

[micromousez]

E speed is abit slow la... So recommended for light surfing only... I sign up for e 512 plan...

[DingJie]

[bevios]

[n95crazy]

you call this unbeatable???
what a lousy promotion!

[FireHobbit]

what promo is good for u?:s12::s12:

[undiscern]

After using for a few days, I would say that it is faster than dialup but can't really replace traditional broadband yet. Good for light and mobile surfing. anyway, only $11, what the heck :)

[liangtam]

you call this unbeatable???
what a lousy promotion!

So free 512k, modem, sim card without contract is a good promo?
You go fly kite la. :s22:

[nicholaslee]

hi can someone enlighten me on this question.

I understand this can be used in compatible mobile phone right? which means the card should also have a "line" within right?

if i have starhub line and want to use this on my phone possible? :s11:

[n95crazy]

So free 512k, modem, sim card without contract is a good promo?
You go fly kite la. :s22:

how about free creative zen vision M 30gb, free huawei modem
2 yrs contract, 50% off 1st year, 100% off 2nd year.

The card is like a normal sim card, except it is dedicated for data. U can use it on 3g mobile phone to surf the net (e-Ideas internet). alternatively, U can view Huawei modem as a 3.5G phone without voice feature. The free bundle usage (login account) is tied to the sim card, not the device used.

[n95crazy]

hello!? the above u refer, esp 50% only applies to existing MOL user. And even the creative zen i heard has a limit of 10 units per day for comex

it was 100 per day for 3 days. i'm already a MOL user so that promotion was unbeatable
this current singtel mobile promotion is lousy!

For the cheapest and basic usage with:

ST BBoM, pay $134.52 and can terminate already, somemore ish 1 yr contract with 6 months included.

SH MM, need pay $436.56 for a yr then can claim another free yr of usage.

With the amount, good enough to buy other brand of MP3 player u like than creative and still some money spare when mobile bb was not download on the go in mind.

PS: Any light user will find maxmobile promo crap instead. Besides, habe you exceeded 50GB yet?

dunno how you do your maths.
$36 x 12 = 432
creative zen - $200
huawei e270(more advanced model) - $350
total cost of freebies: $550
freebies less subsription: $550 - $432 = -$118
this is not even counting the 2nd yr free subscription.

btw, i used 72gigs the last mth. i have a laptop at home that is 24/7 connected to bt and mmobile can support 20 torrents at 1 go without problems.

i won't want to be worried about having to check my data counter everyday and worry what happens if i receive a $2000 bill. as wat people have received. check newspapers for more information.

[alfred_62]

I am a happy user of ST BBoM
Signed up for the $38
Very responsive
Lucky I didn't sign up for max mobile even though I am a subscribe.

If at home i would rather use my mol ultimate or snbb 10mbps to download liao.

SHMM or STBOB is meant for mostly on the go surfing...

[liangtam]

Haha, caught you lying!! Maxmobile does not allow incoming port, this will reduce the number of TCP connection established. Furthermore, downloading from MapleSEA torrent, cannot even exceed 10kb unlike where you do it with a fixed line bb reaching 1MB/s is possible.

[billa13]

it seems that 1 of my friends on SMBB, singtel is giving a 6mth free extension for NOTHING.. which i didnt recieve.. neither i am on contract..

wonder any current SMBB subscriber receive that too? cos it will be good if i could get that free 6 mth too..

The promotion apply for new subscriber only..

You may had miss out this promotion..

do u get my understandin wrong?

i)the user is existing singnet bbom
ii)receive sms on 6mth free (for no cost at all out of nowhere the sms came)

so r u sure on the basis on ur quote? cos the user is totally on different citeria as u claim. so it might be different promotion/target overall.

[guile]

Bad news for those who wants the USB modem. It's out of stock. The next stock will come in Jan only which is after the promotional period.
I just called 1626 asking whether it's possible to sign up now and reserve and collect the USB modem later when it's available but they said it's not possible that's why they offering you to choose from 2 devices.

Haiz, wasted a good deal.

they will issue u one more sim card to swap when u want to use singtel bbom. but i think very leche.

why not u consider switching over to singtel? so that next year when i join starhub have one less user to fight with :D

[noobified]

Got the DATA SIM does it mean if i got 2 hp.. i can use one for surfing net and another one for incoming/outgoing calls?

anyone else here oso got the free upgrade?

[liangtam]

Yes. I can testify that "undiscern"'s info given is correct. I've just signed up few days back.

Mine was 512Kbps at $11/- per month effectively. I'll be billed every alternate month. But take note that when the 12 months contract period is over, I have to pay $22/- plus $5/- each month. Checked with CSO that cencellation is 3 days in advance, so got to make it a point to remember cancellation date.....

My 512kbps is being used as secondary BBom service, speed wise cannot compare with my existing SHMM unlimited..... Also please note that Singnet BBom 512kbps is NOT your regular ADSL 512kbps, its much slower...... but good enough for light surfing and emails, etc. Otherwise you'll have to subscribe for higher speed service..... and pay more too!

Errm, you on multiSIM with your existing line not? They gotch ask u pay $5 each month for additional SIM?

u mean have to pay extra $5 every mth for the new data sim card, that is to be put in either the pcmcia or usb modem?

[liangtam]

u mean have to pay extra $5 every mth for the new data sim card, that is to be put in either the pcmcia or usb modem?

Yes, if u wan the ability to use the BBoM plan on either ur handphone or 3.5G modem at any one time.

[Kelvin0217]

u mean have to pay extra $5 every mth for the new data sim card, that is to be put in either the pcmcia or usb modem?
Only applicable if you are using the same mobile number. If you take a new number, then don't have to pay extra $5 monthly.

[SquallLH]

Yes, if u wan the ability to use the BBoM plan on either ur handphone or 3.5G modem at any one time.

Contradicting statements here...

[spyder79]

so now everywhere is out of stock for the huawei modem ???

[Niaoson]

okay should be liddat. S$5 is for multisim which means u have a singtel mobile line and you get another sim card linked to your line dedicated to surfing.

[Vulpix]

When are they getting stock for the PCMCIA card man... Still waiting for it...

[liangtam]

Contradicting statements here...

Where got contradicting? read and intepret carefully.

[liangtam]

When are they getting stock for the PCMCIA card man... Still waiting for it...

I went sun they still have quite a few SE PCMCIA card

[alfred_62]

should still have the pcmcia card.
can go to amk singtel shop to subscribe.

[SquallLH]

Where got contradicting? read and intepret carefully.

Hmm... you said there's a need to pay additional $5 every month as long as you're getting the new sim card.
Kelvin0217 said there's no need to pay the $5 if you're getting a new sim card.

Sounds contradicting to me no?

But currently for me, the $5 charge for the 3G Supplementary plan is on my receipt...
I believe this is the charge you're talking about?
It appears I'll be paying around ~16 instead of ~12 bucks every month instead. Sales guy didn't brief me about this charge either... :s27:

Don't mind trading my 5 day old pcmcia card with you if you get the usb modem from huawei.
The pcmcia card doesn't have any drivers in linux yet... so total millage on that card is like 2 hrs max.

pm me if you're interested?

Cheers

[liangtam]

Hmm... you said there's a need to pay additional $5 every month as long as you're getting the new sim card.
Kelvin0217 said there's no need to pay the $5 if you're getting a new sim card.

Sounds contradicting to me no?

But currently for me, the $5 charge for the 3G Supplementary plan is on my receipt...
I believe this is the charge you're talking about?
It appears I'll be paying around ~16 instead of ~12 bucks every month instead. Sales guy didn't brief me about this charge either... :s27:

Cheers

Pls READ my post carefully. I said I tied both my hp voice/sms and data plan together. This means I use the same number for both the SIM card, and thus liable to a charge of multiSIM $5 per month. Where got contradict each other statement?

Relax, don't get so agitated.
I'm just saying Kelvin's statement doesn't tally with yours, I'm not saying you're wrong in your post...

So in your bill, the $5 charge is labelled as "multiSIM" charge?

I didn't tie my hpp voice/sms and data plan together and got a new data sim card.
However, I have a $5 charge for "3G Supplementary Data Priceplan", do you have this charge in your bill statement?

according to the salesman, the $5 should be waived for 1 yr if your data sim card is an entirely new number, meaning nothing to do at all with ur current hp line.

[SquallLH]

Hi undiscern,

Well... He didn't tell me anything in regards to this matter...
I just saw it on the Service agreement later when the cashier printed it out...

Eh the Sonyericsson PC300 card doesn't support Vista is it? From the URL of the PC300 card (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/pccards/overview/pc300?cc=sg&lc=en), it looks like Vista in the list. Anyone can confirm if it works?

[SquallLH]

Hmm... the quick start guide that comes with the pcmcia card says it supports vista 32/64 bit OS.
The wireless manager version on the PC300 page is slightly newer than the one provided on the cd.

u mean have to pay extra $5 every mth for the new data sim card, that is to be put in either the pcmcia or usb modem?

Yes, if u wan the ability to use the BBoM plan on either ur handphone or 3.5G modem at any one time.

Only applicable if you are using the same mobile number. If you take a new number, then don't have to pay extra $5 monthly.

Contradicting statements here...

Hi undiscern,

Well... He didn't tell me anything in regards to this matter...
I just saw it on the Service agreement later when the cashier printed it out...

I'll talk to singnet's cso again and we'll see how...
Squall, nothing contradicting here... If you sign up for BBoM under the promo, you will get an entirely brand new data-only (ie, no voice) line for it, and the 50GB is exclusive to that new line. Should you surf data on your main voice line, you will be billed seperately (ie, the data you use on your main plan does not come from the "free 50GB" since they are technically 2 seperate lines and thus, 2 seperate accounts).

I wanted the ability to use that same 50GB on both my Huawei USB and my mobile (my Dopod D810), so that I could save money by "sharing" the alloted 50GB. I checked with 3 CSOs at 3 completely seperate branches (Comcentre, West Mall and Parkway Parade) and they all confirmed this independently. In fact, flapdoodle, a forumer who uses the BBoM service, also confirmed the same thing I was told.

Singtel offers us an alternative - that we subscribe to the Multi-SIM VAS - which means that all issued SIM cards are tied to the same billing account and same number (although only one can be used to receive phone calls at any one time - they call this one the master SIM and you can switch between all your SIM cards under that account). However, this service comes with a $5+GST monthly fee.

I might take up multi SIM, but only after I switch my broadband and mobile to MIO, and thus save some money in the process. But so far, using my D810 as a modem has generally worked well for my MBP.

I hope that makes it clear enough for you, and for everyone else who has the same doubts.

Hmmm kinda confused now. So can I sign up this service, enjoy the 6 mths free promo, gets a free USB (or PCMCIA) modem, tie the service to my existing voice plan and pay $5 every month for MultiSIM?

I went to one of the reseller 2 weeks ago and was told this is strictly a standalone service and a new data only SIM card will be issued.

If you seperate voice and data, it will be as per normal pricing you pay for ur ham phone usage and the price of BBoM less 1 month every alternating week.

If you wan to be able to use bbom on both ur ham phone and the 3.5g modem, you can get multiSIM which ish $5 per month.

Hope this clarifies all the doubt and confusion again :)

Well, I signed such a slip, no one called me. But I passed by an outlet, asked if they had stocks (previously they said no), they said they have a few left. While stocks last, have to join the quite-long queue outside the shop, they said.

Yes, I know that :) But when I ask the shop, the fellow say cannot cannot combine. If I want to tag BBOM to my existing phone, it will be the usual 2 months free only, ie I do not get to enjoy the 6 months free + modem deal. This is where I'm confused :P

Is the deal still on? Maybe I try Singtel shop instead of a reseller :D

Basically, that wireless lan icon shows the maximum speed it can attain.

The pc300 card can only go up to 3.6mbps. Something like a hardware limit hence if you have a higher plan say starhub's 7.2mbps, I think it'll not be able to utilise all the 7.2 as it can only reach 3.6mbps. huawei's limit might be 7.2mbps, don't know cause I don't own one of those.

HuaWei e220 only supports 3.5G/HSDPA which is only 3.6mbps. Reporting value of 7.2 ish a bewilderment.

Sometimes the CSOs may not be very well informed on their own products... I called when I wanted to upgrade my BBOM plan, and the nice lady explained to me the details... She told me that the data allowance was 10 GB (it is now 50 GB by the way), and that she would have to check to see if I would still get the loyalty discount (for existing SingNet users, there was a discount of 30% if you sign up for BBOM).

I have to give them the credit though, the CSOs are really quite nice, though you might have to ask them to escalate matters for you if they can't resolve it. A bit like telling them what to do, but when they themselves don't really know what to do, it is best to request them (politely of course) to escalate the issue for you.

I was also not an existing subscriber of STM when I signed up for the plans, so I don't see why anybody else cannot sign up too.

I went to the Hello! shop at Com Center this afternoon and signed up for the MOBB with the free HW USB Modem. I subscribed to the 1.8Mbps plan and I was also told that the service will take one working day to be activated. But I still tried my luck and I am able to connect successfully. I can even send sms to my own mobile phone (don't know why though).

The CSO that attended to me was not very sure of the product and the T&Cs. But all in all, the transaction went smoothly.

My speed test. Some pages loaded a lil slow though.

Kelvin0217 said there's no need to pay the $5 if you're getting a new sim card.

Sounds contradicting to me no?

But currently for me, the $5 charge for the 3G Supplementary plan is on my receipt...
I believe this is the charge you're talking about?
It appears I'll be paying around ~16 instead of ~12 bucks every month instead. Sales guy didn't brief me about this charge either... :s27:

Cheers

I just realised that I have the above same charge on my Agreement Letter as well. The CSO also didn't brief on about this charge.

I told the CSO that I want a seperate SIM and mobile number. She even gave me a list of mobile number to choose from. Since mine is not a multi-sim service, why am I still required to pay $5 every month?

[liangtam]

If the plan has not been updated into their system and you start using, good luck to you. Get ready to pay lots.

If the other SIM is a different number, of course u can SMS in lah.

Haha... I really hope that they are efficient enough. But on the bright side, I only used bout 5mb max and after that I disconnected.

I did asked the CSO regarding SMS using the new data sim card. She shook her head and say cannot be used for SMS. So being curious, I tried sending a SMS using the Mobile Partner software to my other SingTel mobile line and walla! I was able to receive the SMS that I sent using the data only SIM card.

I also replied to the SMS using my mobile to the data SIM card and the data SIM was able to receive the SMS.

BTW, anyone got the answer to why there is a $5 monthly charge on my Sales Agreement? I am not using any multi-sim service. I opted for a new mobile number for my BBoM.

[SquallLH]

so much discrepancies... typical of singtel I guess... I'll post a pic of my service agreement tomorrow of the 5 bucks charge...

Is can use, but you have to pay 5 cent per SMS sent, it cannot be deducted from your existing hp plan, because u got it seperate.

For multiSIM, cannot receive SMS on modem, but can send, and deductible from free SMS.

Today I've just accompanied my 2 friends to sign up @ Bugis Singtel, still have plenty of stocks...

[wrxykh]

OK guys, about the charges, let me clear the air a bit...as I have just sign up on last Sat @ taka, and today I accompanied 2 friends to sign up @ Bugis...so here it goes :

1) About the $5 3G SIM Charges that shown on the invoices, it is there coz Singtel System can not accept $0 for this field. Both Singtel shops has explained that this will not be charged, so don't worry

2) If you are using multi sim, the data sim that comes with it will be free from registration fees etc etc...but your mobile sim will have to incurred 1 time charge for registration (around $42) and monthly charge of $5

3) Billing will be done every 2 months, around $22 buckaro..

4) Can send SMS from your data sim, each SMS cost 5 cents

Of course, i opt for not to pay additional one time charge and monthly charge, so I only get the data sim at ZERO cost.

That is all I knew, and I'm pretty sure that i'm correct as I am very careful about additional charges. But still...don't quote me yah...=:p

Well, it seems that the Singtel CSO doesn't really know the actual stock status at all. Guess I will have to try my luck at bugis tmr. btw do u have the phone number to Bugis Singtel. Don't want to make a wasted trip all the way there.

[liangtam]

Just received my bill. Charges seems correct :D

Nope, individual Singtel shops don't have tel for cust to call. This was what I did!

Called the CSO, ask them to check whether Bugis has stock, they will note down your phone numbers and call you back. For today, the CSO called back within 2 min to inform me that Bugis has stocks. Very good service from the CSO.

Hi Bros,

I am confused with the $ 5 thingy.
I signed a new phone line and subscribed to BBoM as VAS ( 1 SIM card).... my sales agreement never said $ 5.
So is there a $ 5 for the following:
1. 1 Number : 2 SIM cards
2. 2 Numbers : 2 SIM cards
3. 1 Number : 1 SIM card
4. ???

[alvin81]

Hi,
Just called Singtel again & was informed that there is still no stock of the Huawei modem
island wide. Been visiting afew hello shop as well over the weekend without luck:s11:
Wondering if there is any small resellers that might have a few of these modems?

Btw does it mean that by paying $5 I will be able to enjoy the 50gb on both my current Hp as well as on the new data only SIM?

Regards

Hello! Shop at Com Center got stock leh... I signed up on 23 Dec 2007 around 1700 hours

[alvin81]

I ish vely sad again :sad:

I got the white one too! But sadly without the SingTel logo.... lol.... I would prefer white with SingTel logo.

Okok... I just called SingTel last evening to confirm about the $5 charge.

The $5 must be there for the transaction to pass.

IT WILL ONLY BE CHARGEABLE IF, you choose to have a multi-sim service.
When you subscribe, if they got ask you to choose a mobile number (totally new number) for your data plan only SIM card, then you can ignore about the $5.

Else, the $5 charge just treat it as "bai swee" only. Won't charge. BUT, the CSO told me to take note of the bill. If got charge, must call them so that they can rectify it.

[fi5hbone]

Sigh still contemplating whether to sign up for it or not. Don't think i will really need it but the price seems too good to be true. What happens if you overuse the cap?

[KOPS1974]

Pay lor, just like handphone bah...:s8:

In short, 1 number for many SIM cards then got to pay....right...:s12:

[liangtam]

Usually less than 1 working day. But pls do call in and confirm that your BBoM plan has been activated, not the SIM if getting new one(usually together though).

Do beware of pro-rated data transfer for the first month as well.

[mcferrari]

Hi,
As long as there is a phone network...not exactly everywhere... :)

[Niaoson]

if u stay in jurong west try not to subscribe :D

[sigh]

Just signed up with a Black Huawei E220. Simply loving it.
Home still using SNBB 3Mbps service. This one is for casual surfing.

Best is that office network blocked a lot of sites (including HWZ forum), now I simply disconnect from office network and use SNBOM to do surfing. :D

Question: Noticed that the connection is rated as 7.2Mbps. I thought Huawei e220 is only up to 3.6Mbps. And I signed up for only 512K plan. Why the discrepancy?

[apengrg]

Why everyone prefer the White USB Modem over the Black Modem? Heard White one Faster is it?

Usually your computer will show the max bandwidth of your network card can support, that mean the e220 support max up to 7.2Mbps.

use speedtest.net to check your bandwidth. I check mine and usually hover around 500-600 kbps (up) and 330-380 kbps (down)for my 512kbps BBOM plan.:yawn:

[eugene_nyc82]

Anyone here using the ST BBoM 1800 plan? Can give some simple user review on how stable is the connection to youtube and oversea connection?
Best if you can perform some test at speedtest.net and post it here.

Thanks.

Hi madpandaz, are you on 512 plan or 1800 plan?

[Maserati]

Signed up today and waited for 3 hrs :mad: very bad experience every time as ST may be listed CO but only have 10 Hell-0 shops. Worst still they have different queue nos 1000 series , 2000 series and 6000 series waiting there for my queue series takes of 6 nos difference takes 3hrs (from 4:30 to 7:30) even though the estimated time is 30+ mins lucky I don't have to queue to pay them $$ every mth otherwise I will be a :frus: ANy way it is over.

By the way if those ppl signed up for multi sim , if their hp sim is changed to "data" also that means they can used the data sim (pcmia or usb modem) to and also their hp to surf 3.5g simultaneously?

How you managed to do that???

My LAN can't work properly when my BBoM is online... Got to DC BBoM to check office e-mail...

[xtrioxton]

Hi madpandaz, are you on 512 plan or 1800 plan?


if that is on 1800 plan, then it really not worth it liao.

[xtrioxton]

anyway...SNBOM is much better then M1 :s8:

totally agree with u. however m1 is unlimited, whereas singtel still capped at 50gb. So whenever i surf or dl or play games, i still fear it will hit the 50gb target. So always do things with care haizzz. hope it will just get to unlimited soon.

[sigh]

Hi madpandaz, are you on 512 plan or 1800 plan?

Should be 512. My results are about the same and I'm on 512 plan.

E61 is not HSDPA. Can tap full bandwidth?

One thing I notice about some Nokia phone is that the upload speed is very slow, this affects VoIP calls.

I also tried while in a cab just now. the connection keeps dropping when vehicle was moving. Can only resume when the cab was stopped by the traffic lights :s7:

[materick]

ONE quick question.

Using iphone can connect to this singtel service via multi sim?

iphone got no 3g. only edge/gprs.


Thanks.

[geeli80]

No problem surfing in underground, tap full speed or not is not my concern as long can surf is good enough. Iphone should be able to use gprs to surf. Reporting at city hall mrt now

[geeli80]

The problem with voip is not download speed but upload speed. I can hear the other side very well but lag when i talk my side

I subscribed a new data SIM card. Now I am considering whether to get the E51 for my data SIM card so it becomes a data modem + surfing device.

Alternative is to subscribe my existing Voice SIM card with BBoM as well. Then really underutilize liao.

[SquallLH]

Finally managed to get around to my scanner.
Here's the charge.

but they only give $100 discount for 3G handset. :crazy:

get a modem more worth.

[liangtam]

Yar, haha.
Buy and sell gets u cash, probably can also offset your 6 month bill as well, making the 512k practically free.

Get voucher, can only use at SingTel shop for some unworthy ham phone.

[nicholaslee]

I subscribed it too today around 5pm at golden shoe! took the PCMCIA card.

I installed the Wireless Manager 5 and al drivers installed successfully. But when i launch the software and it tries to register itself, I got a "Registration Denied" Error message.. In this case, I assume it is still not activated yet right? :)

Yah got the USB modem, but don't think got resale value. Anyone who wants a plan will be given a modem, why buy from outside market? This E220 is like the A1000 during the early days of ADSL.

Mabbe that's why you guys got the White modem with Huawei logo? More resale value than the Black Singtel one?

[dtsl]

Does anyone face very slow connection between 10pm to 12am? I notice this time is almost impossible to surf.
