My mum's star hub prepaid cut got suspended all of a suddenly. Went down star hub outlet,the csos also cannot find out why. They reregister and said 15minutes later and it will be able to work. next day it didn't and went back down. They Change the sim card but was told to wait one working day (it was a sat and had to wait til Monday) really effective. The new card Also couldn't call thereafter. Wrote in to this star hub and away asked to visit the outlet again. However they couldn't register the IC using the machine.

Was asked if I want to escalate to their mgmt or change to a new number at a price of 8 bucks with 10 bucks credit and existing 20 bucks in account will be transferred. Srsly wtf, how can they ask consumer to bare their service quality failure.

Mine got suspended today app also can login call cso said call technical call back also havent called back. Mine is a ported number from m1. Screwed up leh

It is more of marketing then anything else.
If the shop display shelf do have plenty of space most shops will display the Prepaid cards showing the numbers nicely for everyone to see.
I always peek slowly at my own time, as counter staff do nothing.

Starhub cashiers gave me all the Prepaid SIM cards of various types for me to take my own time to choose.

Just ask to see and choose the number you like.

Thanks for all the replies on choosing prepaid Starhub number.

To share my experience, I went to a few official Starhub stores, they only have a few cards (5-10), not much choice. So I went to a mobile phone repair shop and they had a stack of 40-50. So I slowly look through all and choose.

What's the cheapest or best deal for topping up Starhub?

The two ideas I have:
  • Lazada (I think other people mentioned it) for 5-10% off
  • Topping up at random phone stores where they give "bonus credit" - but the bonus credit is not main wallet credit

So I guess question is.. is there anywhere that gives more than 5-10% Starhub prepaid top up discount, or gives main credit bonus? Thanks.

I am having the same problem with my Starhub prepaid since Sunday.

They told me to change my SIM card, which I did. However the problem still persist. I think I got cheated as the problem appears to be with their system and not a faculty SIM card.

I have been calling their 1633 and raised a stinker with them. I will continue to hound them until the problem is resolved.

I suggest that you avoid Starhub for the time being.

The reason why I had SH Prepaid is because they have very good roaming data packages, but I have since found out AIRSIM (www.airsim.com.sg). Rates are very good but outgoing calls VoIP Only. Anyone any experience in that?

Airsim is more expensive than SH prepaid data roaming.

I have been with them for a few years now. Ported from Singtel.

They have apparently "escalated" my case but then again this is what I have been hearing for the past 2 days. No far, no resolution yet. :(

Have they resolve your case?

Do you get free 500MB when you topup in qoo10 / lazada?
Q10 I don't get any data, and they give me 120 days, my previous remaining days from previous top up do not add up to this 120 days

while I get 120 days, my wife been getting 119 days

Where is this? I just tried searching on Qoo10 but it's all the standard price from the search results.

I am not allowed to link (not enough posts) otherwise I would share my search results.

What do you mean? The top up from Qoo10 does not extend the main wallet credit expiry?

What do you mean by you get 120 days, your wife has been getting 119 days?

when you pay you select 300 points, then you see your price go down to $7

it extends to 120 days. my existing days not taken into account, don't know why

my wife gets 119 days, not like me, 120 days, 119 days which is like 120 days so I didn't complain to 1633
