[MERGED] Third virtual mobile telco: Zero1

[sibeiTrolled]

can't find the list of countries in the $7 plan RoamA 2GB, anyone know what are the countries listed in the plan? Thank you

4.Sign up by 31 January 2025 to enjoy free additional 2GB of data roaming for Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines and India. Sign-ups after 31 January 2025 can still access the data roaming as a paid add-on.

Wow they activated my port-in line today Sunday!

I thought I had to wait until Monday night.

I activated my sim card yesterday Saturday around 0005 hours.

Zero1 feels snappy for me in terms of web browsing, haven't tried speedtest yet, will do so when free.

Btw what speed is 4g+?

My previous telco eight has 4g only while zero1 has 4g+.

Evolution path
3G -> HSPA+ -> LTE -> 4G -> 4G+ -> 5G NSA -> 5G SA

4G+ (LTE Advanced) is essentially just a "better" version of 4G though you can't really feel it much.

"snappier" may be due to better latency, can verify with speed testing

4G+ aka 4G aggregated tries to increase bitrate by combining signals from different bands.
how fast you get depends on many factors, including the telco.
eg, i had 200-300+ Mbps on eight (higher on Singtel some months ago before i ported out) and as low as 30-50Mbps on Simba (open air, downtown/CBD area)

I think the 228 GB plan is for those who were previously on the $10 plan

The starter plan is now quite atttactive with their roaming and 100GB data, even though its less data than M1 Maxx they can leverage on the fact that its singtel network and that realistically most people wont use finish 200GB so 100GB is more than enough

Yes, i never said anything about me being on the starter plan? So my SMS is because I am on Z-One 4G Plus. Now just have the FE added to the plan name.

I am saying this new plan, shows up under the basic plans, instead of the standard plans category on the website.

When is the optimum time to downgrade plans? My billing cycle is the 22nd

Does the plan change via app takes (almost) instant effect?
