Multi-line & Multi-service : Which Telco

Crexzz · Feb 8, 2018

Seeking opinions from other "light" users like myself.

Currently I've 3 mobile lines and 1 fibre broadband subscription under my name and I'm wondering if other telco can provide better value or my current configuration with m1 now is about the best value

3 x mysim20 plan @$25.35 each
(4GB, 150MINS , 800SMS)

300gbps plan @ $29.00

Total cost only $105.50

Visited the website of various telco and none provide bundle discount for sim only plans, or did I miss something?

And also explored the idea of sharing data between all 3 mobile lines but seems like there's no such thing. Closest thing to data sharing involves sharing the data bundle from 1 main mobile line to other sub line. And main mobile line can't share the data bundle from the other sub line.

Is there any better option, I don't mind subscribing to any pay TV service if it's better in overall value though.

Well for my sim plan on all telecom is consider the cheapest plan and they are not consider to be telecom main line of mobile servce(somewhat along the line.)

Next is that most of them required u to have 3 services to get a bundle discount : which is the Mobile, Broadband and TV services.

Hmmm i don't mind signing up for miotv or starhub cable if there's better value.

But last I checked, SingTel bundle discount doesn't include sim only plan, starhub hub club is only giving lifestyle benefits and not a direct discount of the total bill and m1 is on the same stance as SingTel, sim only plan not eligible for bundle discount

I really wish that there data bundle for mobile plans can be inter-shared. I confirm jump ship if it's not m1

iirc its the same for all telecom. they dun bundle sim only plan into the bundle.

but if u wanna do some thing like this iirc, there is someone saying about multi- sim (means that 1 line with 2 sim), but its definitely not those cheap only sim can do it.

something like m1 SIM E maybe allows (have to dig that thread to show u or hope that person will show u how.)

M1 mySIM 50 @ $50 plus each line $12, up to 2 lines.
30GB (if 12 months contract), 100 mins, 100 sms.
Caller ID not included. 3 lines sharing.
Go read up on this.
Add 200 mins @ $5 to share?

Edit: Would like to know if main mySIM 50 line subscribed to Data Passport, the 2 sub line will have Data Passport??

Now the new mySIM plans have the mySIM S shareable option, just like StarHub SIM-Only having the SharePlus VAS. However, at $12/mth (M1) and $16.05/mth (StarHub) excluding Caller ID and other VAS, it's simply not economical.

Note: StarHub SharePlus for SIM-Only may not be eligible for 40% discount.

Now the only few options are available for 6GB or lesser - on 12 mth contract:
M1 - mySIM 3 20 ($25.35/mth, 5GB + 100 mins + 100 SMS)
SingTel - SIM-Only ($25.35/mth, 5GB + 150 mins + 500 SMS)
StarHub - XS SIM-Only ($29.35/mth, 6GB + Weekend Data + 200 MINS).

Another option: StarHub SharePlus
StarHub - XS SIM-Only + Plus 3 ($35.35/mth, 9GB + Weekend Data + 200 mins)
StarHub - SharePlus (assuming 40% discount is applicable) ($14.98/mth, additional 1GB per dependent line + share talktime & data).

So it'll be $65.31/mth if including 40% discount, $78.15/mth excluding.
on average, each line will get: 3.67GB data + Weekend Data + 66 mins 40 sec outgoing talktime.

If it's $78.15/mth, you're better off staying with mySIM 3 20 or Singtel SIM-Only ($76.05/mth for 3 lines.)

Data Passport is per line basis. mySIM S and SurfShare will have to subscribe on their own Data Passport, separate from mySIM 3/E and Voice+ (Smartphone plan) parent.

Oh! So the cost stated for sim share plus and mysim20 share is not a value added service cost on top of a base mysim subscription fee?

So if I take ,from m1, a main mysim40 plus 2 sub lines, it'll only cost $80.05 but I'll get a total of 15gb to share among 3 lines instead of a fixed 5gb per line but paying 25.35 for each line?

It's not VAS, it's another Postpaid Mobile under your name, but it's a supplementary line.

Yes, the additional few dollars to share is a question on its own, is it worth or not.

In fact, may as well get mySIM 3 50, double the data for $10/mth more overall only.

Crexzz · Feb 9, 2018

Yeah man, you're right. Was initially wondering why sub line is limited to 2 and why the unlimited plan is not applicable. Now I know.

Have also checked out both starhub and SingTel share plan and seems like m1 gives better value. But I could be wrong.

Note, since you are on the old mySIM plan with more talk time and sms.

If you change, you can't go back to the old plans, and the new is only 100 mins and 100 SMS

Option to add 200 mins / 800 mins / Unlimited talktime at $5/10/15 is available too.

The sub card doesn't come with their own 100mins/100sms?

Supplementary line uses the main line talktime texting and data. No additional benefits for mySIM S. SurfShare have additonal 500MB data to share though, it's for Voice+ (Smartphone) plans.

I see I see. Thanks

Anyone knows if I am on CIS (mobile) with M1, will I be entitled to the early recontact waiver of $250/$350?

If all the lines are under CIS and not MSS, nope.
