5G SIM-only/prepaid plans Discussion Thread

[hereiam7788]

SingTel has started 5G sim-only plan and prepaid plan. What about other SingTel MVNOs as well as orange and green telcos?

CL discontinued 5GNR NSA as M1 shut down the network on March 31.
Giga is the longest-standing 5GNR operator to date.

You never do your research bro?

For new signup in Giga have to pay additional $10, for me if I take base 60GB = $25+ $10 = $35

I believe Gomo $25 for 60GB with 5G
Wonder the mins is lesser

I think for now I should go with GOMO 5G

yeah... it is a good real 5G sim-only plan now.

I consider 5G SA as "real 5G".

NSA is still interim 5G - IMDA's own definition in their release when they clarified it's for short to medium term at most. They stated that operators must cease using NSA by end 2025.

Hi guys, sorry to bump this older thread - as I am now at the crossroads of renewing my plan.

I am definitely moving away from 4G as the 5G performs very well even under peak periods and heavy loads.

In particular, am searching for a NSP that can offer 5G SA (NOT NSA).

So far, only Singtel, Starhub and MyRepublic offer 5G NSA.

i have had experience on Singtel and Starhub's 5G SA network and I am leaning toward because of its price point. Currently I am being offered the following recontract terms with the following retention bonus:
-150GB 5G Data
-Unlimited incoming callls
-500 outgoing mins
-1000 SMS
-8GB Readyroam/mth to Malaysia and 2 other destinations which I cannot remember
-3x ReadyRoam Neighbours 14 days unlimited
-Free Caller ID for 12 mths
-Free 12 mths Disney+

all for $20.67

Am struggling to choose between this and MyRepublic so I want to understand how MR's 5G has been operating before I made the decision. Frankly, I am leaning toward the retention offer because of the 12 mths free disney+ (ever since subscription prices jacked).

looking for some views on the above. TIA!

This is a good deal. Nothing to struggle about. Unless you are telling me My Republic's offer (which you didn't state what it is) is better?

You never share MR's offer (if any), so hard to decide.
But if it works, why switch, ain't it.

sorry i didnt make it clear in my post.

Despite me having a MR broadband line, they refused to offer any discount for their mobile line

Maybe because I am still on their legacy 200mbps plan

I was looking at Gomo 5G - is that SA or NSA?

Gomo 5G is NSA.

Singtel's 5G SA is only available for Singtel subscribers. all the MVNOs using Singtel network only have NSA.

Starhub, MR 5G and Giga have access to Starhub 5G SA.

Why are you still on their legacy 200mbps though?

i signed during COVID-19.

needed a reliable consumer ISP that could provide static IP. at that time only VQ and MR offered this. SI had left the consumer space by then. MR was a better choice because the static IP was a one time fee unlike VQ which charged it monthly.

Read the reviews on VQ and that convinced me not to pick them

Also didnt need much bandwidth so I just picked the cheapest plan

once the price reverts to the full $51.99 i think i will just terminate. my tenancy going to end soon
