Just ported into Starhub $20 SIM despite having 2 more months of contract with Singtel SIM only.
OK to pay the termination fees as I’m going overseas soon, and the money saved on roaming with Starhub is up to 5 times cheaper than on Singtel.
No complains so far on Starhub. Reception not noticebly worse than Singtel. Customer service is ok, no wait at all on the hotline.
Starhub sim plan not $25 meh?
Just wait lor hope singtel under pressure to give freee caller I’d
Lol
Tpg the best of best. 2gb per day after throttling and best it is free for 1 year
Good luck. I bought a StarHub prepaid for roaming purposes . But most times it is just so unstable it barely works. End up had to buy another roaming plan on Singtel or just buy local SIM...Just ported into Starhub $20 SIM despite having 2 more months of contract with Singtel SIM only.

Last year went China, my buddies bought starhub prepaid, it didn't work the entire time over there.
My M1 data passport just works once the plane touches down. If you refer to those threads about data roaming. M1 data passport is one of the best or if not the best.
Which is why I always simply use local SIM card. Sure to work. Plus you get a local number which is useful for Grab and Uber.Except for local sim, nothing beats M1 data passport.

if what you want is just to bypass censorship, just run a VPN server on your router or pc at home. No need to spend money on one.Your buddies probably didn’t set the correct APN??
I am currently in China and using both M1 data passport and Starhub Prepaid roaming. Both are working well roaming on China Mobile (中国移动) network.
On the other hand, will not recommend using NordVPN with local Chinese SIM cards, think the Chinese have managed to block NordVPN. I did not manage to connect with any servers at all using Chinese SIM card. Time to find another good VPN when back in Singapore...

If your WiFi router have a VPN server function, you can create one and connect to it. Basically instead of connecting to a VPN server hosted by Nord or other company, you connect to a VPN server hosted at your home.
Most WiFi router should have a simple interface and step by step guide on creating a VPN server.
Just take note usually the router only has simple OpenVPN server and this OpenVPN setup is easily detected by the Great Firewall and is not guaranteed to work.
There are multiple reports of this type of OpenVPN servers blocked in China.
If one is really technical savvy then it is better to set up a Wireguard, Shadowsocks (SSR) or other types of VPN servers to bypass the Great Firewall.
