Heya can't apply on line , right?
Only way is go to the shop to register and get sim card same time???

@keenklee
IMHO.
Yup. Go to shop they will use their app to register for you.
You can tell them you want to choose number.
They will give you a SIM card and then you wait for it to activate - can't recall how long it takes.

Please check the price. Here got pple mentioned that some want to charge "service charge".
For me, I bought 2 new number, is pay $10 for each of the data plan.

Means everything must go heya shop to do??
IMHO.
Buy Heya.SG sim card must go to the shop.

Shop
- Top Up - Main Balance
- Buy data plan

Online
- Some shops offer paynow services to buy data plan
- Lazada - Buy data plan ( not sure got Top-Up Main Balance )
- Shopee - Buy Data plan & Top-Up Main Balance

Top-Up main balance is like put $ in the wallet to be used later. You can use the Heya.SG app to buy the data plan using the main balance.

Heya every month is must top up? No automatic deduct from CC or something?
IMHO.
Yes. You can also put up to $20 (according to the app) in the so-call wallet. Then can buy the data plan on the day of expiry. I already put $10 inside and will be trying in a few days time.

I just bought Heya sim today and activate immediately.
Heya Speed tested so average 50dl and 25ul on the street level which is much more faster then TPG on the same location.
I have not test at MRT
IMHO.
Let us know what u think for MRT.
A few days back, I put TPG into my phone to use a the main SIM. In my locations, the response is not as good as Heya.SG and I find that at times, I need to switch over to Heya.SG.

There is no doubt the Singtel network is much better then TPG network.
The Heya shop mention no top up within 90days and the line will be terminated.
This is easy.
Example If we use up the 100GB in 10days then are we suppose to pay renew $10 to get another 100GB or have to wait 30days?

The way Heya.SG works is that it has a Base (or Main) Plan and the Data Plan.
Every time a Data Plan is purchase, the Base Plan expiry with automatically be extended 2 months.

E.g.
On 1st Jan
Base Plan expiry 26-Feb
Data Plan expiry is 27-Jan
If a Data Plan is purchased on the 27-Jan
Base Plan expiry will change to 27-Mar ( 2 Months )
whereas the Data Plan expiry will be 26-FEb ( 1 Month )

If by 26-Feb no purchase of the Data Plan is made, the SIM will expire base on the Base Plan which is on 27-Mar.
After the Data Plan has expired, will also lose the rollover.

To your question, if you use up 100GB in 10 days, you can buy another data plan for another $100GB - but personally I have not done that before.

Actually I was studying that it is actually quite feasible to replace home broadband if at the location, the speed is sufficient. The most if use up 100GB, can just top up another $10. Moreover, there are 4G routers that also can plug in an analog telephone to use the mobile number. IIRC, I tried with TPG as well as Heya.SG before.

Hmm, last year Dec I went to Vietnam. I managed to receive bank OTP for my Heya. Of course, when people tried to call me and I want to answer the call, the call cannot connect. I didnt activate data roaming on my phone.

IMHO.
I cross post from another chat of this great news.
Thank you @sango65 (y)

Which 4G rounter is good to use as home broadband alternative?
