Think this original NRIC requirement should also apply to all telcos. My past experience with SH is the same with M1.
my past experiences signing up for my CIS plan online is just email them a photo of my staff pass and nric.. but M1 didn't have option for CIS online shop at the point when I was choosing telco to port to..
I was at M1 Nex. They accepted my 11B for verification for the online collection. Got my SIM in 15 minutes. Btw ah you can choose from two choices:
SAFRA - FREE 5GB/mth for 12 months.
OR
KRISFLYER MEMBERSHIP - 10% off Data Passport, Waiver of Data Passport Activation Fee, and Waiver of Multi-SIM Data Passport Activation Fee charges.
Obviously the SAFRA option is better.
for me I happened to walk pass bugis M1 shop and decided to ask about their CIS plans since Singtel and Starhub can just call or access their CIS shop online to sign up or recontract.
the staff no idea about CIS plan so ask the shop manager out to help me. in the end I was ready to port to them and handed him my 11B and he said they cannot accept any other form of documents other than NRIC. HA. then gave me his name card and ask me next time being nric already just look for him directly no need queue. I just said ok and left then look for the nearest bin to throw the name card.
abit ridiculous not to accept 11B when it's a official identity document. not as if it's a mom issued work pass with less than 6 months validity.
Hi, my wife’s line is currently under my name (corporate plan). Her 24 months will be up next month and I’m planning to switch her to M1. Can I port over to M1 directly and sign up under her name or do I need to transfer the ownership to her name in Singtel first before porting over to M1?
if you are porting out to a non CIS plan after the 24th month then you can transfer the Singtel line to her name first then port to M1. if you still intend to sign up for a CIS plan with whichever telco then the account holder of the CIS plan still has to be your name. each CIS customer can sign up with 6 lines with the Telco, but it has to be under your name. cannot transfer to your wife's name and still remain as a CIS plan. unless she is also employed by a eligible CIS company.
