This is my Handphone bill from last week. I am using Flexi plan which gives me 1GB free.
Singtel also stated that i would have 1st month free, but later on fine print stated it was for some other services. I blamed myself on this part
erm.. here are some of it i calculated, please correct me if i am wrong.
BroadBand Mobile Data Usage: 1,059,328 which is 5,296.64
Free 500MB Mobile Data Usage: 500,000 is 1,792.00
Here is my calculation:
if 1,059,328KB = s$5,296.64
then 500,000KB = 500000/1059328 * 5296.64 = s$2499.9999994*
This does not tally with the "Free 500mb Mobile Data Usage Plan.
Can anyone help me understand this?

You signed up and got 1024mb free data thingy
Initial 5 296.64
first 500mb - 1792.00
next 524mb - 1878.02
So should pay 1626.62...
but additional mobile data disvount 1057.30
so 569.32 so it seems ok
Then got excess usage discount minus 219.32.. so 350 (Just for mobile internet omg!)
Umm so am i wrong somewhere? You paid 446.36 which is good sign
so$350 and promo plans 36.64 + 52.34+13.55 (airtime) = 452.53
You paid 446.36 which is good sign

1059328 divide by 1024 then divide by 1024 again = ?
In theory, because ur first month is prorated, the free bundled usage should have been less than 1GB even. Although they gave it wholly to u.

eh how about this one....
$5,296.64 for 1,059,328KB
but only
$1,792.00 for 500,000KB
but when i use the 1,059,328KB rate to calculate
rate of 1KB should be $0.005/KB approximately
so it should be 2500 instead of 1792
i thank you guys for helping =) but can i refer this this part?
okay i calculate backwards
500,000MB = $1,792
1MB = 0.003584
1,059,328MB = 3796.631552
but they said my 1,059,328MB is $5,296.64
*sorrie change my MB to KB.

one thing abt the data access is they bill by per session, worst part is u dun get to see the break down of the usage, unless u subscribe to detail billing or mybill (paperless bill)
*Data allowance is a limited offer only, for customers on a 2-year 3G Flexi Lite/3G Flexi/3G Flexi Plus Plan on 3G handsets. Data bundle is for local usage only, across 2-year contract period. Excess data usage is charged at $0.0037/2KB (min. of $0.02/session). While roaming overseas, prevailing data roaming charges apply.

So to say i cannot do the calculation which i just did? or is there any way to calculate their rate.. cause i feel that their discount is not very correct.
cause so to say 1,059,328 kb means i got excess 59,328
then i should be charged 59,328/2 * 0.0037 = 109.7568
this calculation also not applicable?

by right if they say "1st month free", you shouldn't be paying any data charges at all
If other downloads, like ringtones, games, etc, is charged under another row.
call singnet up and kpkb

You divide by 1000 when it's kB, you only divide by 1024 when it's kiB.
