can get local otp from banks and google and Microsoft?
You might want check out their faq for some of the features not available on their plans. Global sms is one of them. If your bank or apps like iMessage require otp from overseas, GG liao

Could I check, for login to Heya account to check the usage, is OTP required?

I am thinking of using this on my iPad Air which cannot receive OTP. Or is there a web interface to login?

IMHO.
For Android, OTP is required. You launch the app, key in phone number and get an OTP.
There is no web interface AFAIK.
Maybe you can track usage via the IOS internal meter ?

Connectivity is subjective as it is location based.
Speed max is > 100 down and > 20 Up.
I have 4x Heya.
But do get one to test if see suitable for your use.
Thanks for the feedback. As long no downtime always. Then speed should be better then TPG as Heya use Singtel network. Price $10 for 100GB similar to TPG.

Heya.SG max speed is around 122 / 21 using speedtest.net
When there are more users, the speedtest.net will return lower values or struggle to reach those speed.
Typical speed can be around 90 / 15

Just get one and try if it is suitable for the locations you frequent.
Actually the app is a bit redundant, every time I check, I have to login by keying in the number and receive an SMS OTP. I feel no point checking the balance because if finish the 50/100 GB, the data will just stop and need to buy another plan - no chance of paying for extra data.
But in itself, this is a bit of con because there is no automated buying of the data plan monthly - have to either top-up credit and manually self-buy or go thru online via Shopee/Lazada. If still have data and miss the 30 day buying of the data plan, the data will not be rolled over.
Thanks for the info.

Just recently, I experience 1x downtime. Affected Heya.SG, Singtel 4G and Singtel 5G.
It is at one specific place in SengKang. Other than that, it is find.
Singtel network generally is good.

Also to note, there a comments by others that during peak hours at MRT, Heya.SG doesn't perform well.
I have no experience with it so far.

Both using hicard apn. Maybe slower then Singtel main postpaid line
Heya pricing win Gomo
IMHO.
Added Singtel Postpaid. Tested this morning.

Heya.SG - 125/21
GOMO - 343/63
SingTel XO - 212/76 (4G)
SingTel XO - 529/31 (5G)

I have SIMBA. While the connectivity is there, the speed is way below my expectation for my locations.
I can get below 5 up/down.

For Heya.SG, except for the troublesome part of every month buy the data plan, the pricing is good, fast speed and have data rollover. Some of my lines max the rollover data every month.

hmm, Singtel XO (4G) speed is slower than GOMO.

So no point paying for full-fledged Singtel line as the speed is slower than its own sub-brand

I am surprised too.
Could be because of setting.
But the settings are default. I just toggle between 4G and 5G.

I just know that when Heya.SG, SingTel 4G and Singtel 5G fails together, 5G can still send a bit of data out. Maybe due to the phone?

My take away is that GOMO and XO are on par, it’s just natural variance in the results.

You can try running a speed test 10 times, if your signal is not that strong, the average speeds can be all over the place every run.

TPG depends on location. I tested in orchard dl speed more then 100. But if your location TPG can't make it weak coverage then better go for Singtel Heya still $10

To me, TPG seems to like to put their base station near LRT and MRT.
My location is quite far away !
Good to hear TPG can hit more than 100.
I still have a TPG mainly for testing.

You are right TPG base station at shopping centre and Mrt benefit users there. But at home may get very low speed. Especially the new mrt TE line inside the station I manage get 150 dl speed.

How's Heya compared to Vivifi? Currently on Vivifi, thinking of making the switch to Heya's $10 for 100GB. Understand that both using SingTel network.
