Hi Gurus. That "S$9.90 for one year - 5G 0.98TB with 8GB roaming" promo code thingy, what is the catch (if any)? The 980G data is one-off not per month? Or not contract free, have to be locked in for a year? Or CL as M1 MVNO has terrible reception? (have used Maxx before, did notice the signal seems worse than Singtel MVNOs, but not unusable)

Thanks in advance.

Interesting that the following online promotion is still available, three months free 5G trial.

I got similar offer from physical shop (Boon Lay Bus Interchange Wall Cabinet C).

Nice. This promo code is good for online.

Looks like the promo code is no longer valid.

Maybe can share which promo code you are looking at. Usually $9.90 means price per month, if you say 1yr means promo price at $9.90 for one year and should have clause stating revert to X price thereafter. The data is monthly basis. CL plans are usually no contract unless stated otherwise but they do have a 2 months lock in period before you can port out. Read their FAQ for more info.

Signal wise YMMV. Some can get really good signal while others cannot. My suggestion is you sign up 2nd line to test. Not happy just terminate after. Happy then you port in.

Bro. Double entry. Looks like 2 strings

 

[xiaofan]

The S$5.3 4G Promo code seems to be still good.

Haha, copy paste problem.

Yes, I'm referring to the one Xiaofan shows screenshot above. Wondering if there is any catch. I'm using CMLink and with the non-Singtel port in perk, I'm effectively paying $7.5/mo. So this CL promo isn't attractive to me. But my wife is currently with GOMO's $18.33 plan, so this CL 9.9 might be good for her. (plus she can become non-Singtel again and can consider jumping back to Singtel MVNOs with the non-Singtel perks in the future)

Wife one better ask her. Like i said. YMMV depending on where she goes. With the move to 5G SA soon for ST MVNOs, the price of $15 likely to stick until Simba merger concludes. Happy wife happy life. You decide.

Try the three months free CL 5G trial first as a new line to see how she like it before commiting. Please refer to Post #3104 in this page for more details. Promotion code is CLMC1400GB5GIPHONE17A. The promotion says iPhone but it seems to me no need to buy iPhone.

My wife is using the same SingTel S$15.28 per month recontract offer that I am using. I will not change her line to a cheaper line any time soon.

Based on my testing, M1 Maxx 5G and CL 5G perform pretty well, better than eight 4G and SIMBA anyway. I would also choose them over SingTel 4G. But SingTel 5G plan will still be more consistent.

 

[xiaofan]

My ranking for the plans I have tested, for local usage.

1. SingTel SIM Only 5G, my main line
2. M1 Maxx 5G and CL 5G
3. StarHub Prepaid S plan 5G
4. SingTel hi! 4G
5. eight 4G and CUniq 4G
6. SIMBA

In the end I will keep the following lines.

1. SingTel SIM Only 5G at S$15.28 per month (recontract offer, 12 months contract), my main line. This line is good for local usage.

My wife is also using this plan as her main line.

2. StarHub Prepaid S plan 5G at S$3 per month (Happy Prepaid Card migration offer), mainly for number parking (my old number).

My wife has this S$3 plan as well (her old number).

3. eight 4G at S$8 per month, effective price at S$4 per month for the next 22 months due to the S$88 one to one top-up offer, for roaming and backup.

Thanks the useful info, Xiaofan and AMD_Duron (only 90s kids remember this awesome value CPU lol).

One more question regarding the "free" trial. It says revert to 400G for $15 when the trial ends, means cannot use the 980G for $9.9 for one year when that happens?

You may have to port out first and then port-in for the S$9.9 offer.

My suggestion is to sign up a new line for the 5G free trial, terminate it no matter it is good or bad before the end of free 5G trial.

Good --> port your wife's number to the S$9.9 for 980GB 5G CL promotion.
Bad --> just forget about CL.

In short. Test first with free trial. Happy then port in. Not happy just terminate before trial ends.

Can’t expect much when firstly, they disagree with the merger and then have some litigation going on right.

Indeed, if the merger approves, I wonder where it will lead CL to. All the forever good offers or plans may just go to drain.
