Comparison of SIM only plans - Part 2

[AMD_Duron]

M1 Maxx 5G seems very attractive for their 10 dollars plan.
How's the network coverage and speed like?

Works well for me in most places i frequent. Again YMMV. Depending on where you go to. Test as a 2nd line and decide for yourself.

 

[AMD_Duron]

he quite happy with it eh lol.. he say the network very fast somemore only need to pay $6 only

Just a note. You are aware it will change to $12 after 1yr right. The $6 is valid for 1st year.

Supposedly it's China Unicom that managed to work a deal with Apple to launch iPhone Air first as both Unicom and Apple worked together with the China authority, but China Mobile and China Telecom saw that Unicom has the advantage thus both 'blocked' the deal and start negotiation with Apple too, which then caused the delay.

Wow... so cutthroat?

Is there other than Maxx have base plan?

Is there other than Maxx have base plan?

There are a few with some sort of base plan, but what is available and T&C varies widely among them.
Typically you get free incoming call & SMS. AFAIK only maxx has limited outgoing call/sms/data.

What is common among them is that you see them often in retailer shops and are using 30 days billing cycle.

Check out Heya, eight, simba.

Is there other than Maxx have base plan?

Only Maxx base plan is FOC, Heya and Simba base plans are just a grace period for you to buy back expired paid plan to continue the service i suppose.

 

[RSKeisuke]

is it difficult to terminate Maxx no-contract plan? like hassle free?

 

[A7997A]

Only Maxx base plan is FOC, Heya and Simba base plans are just a grace period for you to buy back expired paid plan to continue the service i suppose.

Even Maxx's base plan is supposed to be for the same purpose, just that their grace period has more favorable T&C.

I lost my Maxx number when never use

Anyway, is eight $8 plan better than zero1 $7?

I feel like eight always have those 1 for 1 top up or got discount for top up in shopee or events from time to time

End up might be cheaper than zero1 $7

But ppl been complaining about eight reception lately, dunno if it's due to their success n many ppl sign up

There is a difference in network, moi poco f1 can only call by volte using eight and not zero1.

It would seems that your phone has VoLTE support for starhub but not Singtel.
In that case you would probably run into the same issue with other Singtel based MVNO as well.

Must split between SA and NSA or not?

Haha, as you mentioned, all will become 5G SA enabled in the end.

I added the SingTel based MVNOs in the list. I also put the note that and 5G+ will be enabled soon for them.

5G SA is anyway the way to go. 4G LTE and 5G NSA will eventually go away.

6G will probably arrive in Singapore in 2030 (also US and China). Qualcomm is even talking about 6G in 2028.

No appeal right now... but if telco has 1 plan with lesser to no roaming and cheaper, I will take it.
