Ah so no roaming? BKY, moi $2.5 eight also get free data if go JB, BKK or even tokyo sia

You are talking about eight S$5 Senior 4G Plan with one for one top-up offer then.

If you have only one line then I tend to think eight 4G plan is still not very good as it is really not good for local usage (as bad as SIMBA), no matter how cheap. That is just my personal opinion though based on my own testing.

But if you have other lines for better local usage, then this eight 4G plan can be a good one especially with the free roaming voice.

If no need roaming voice, I tend to think SingTel Gomo S$6 5G Senior plan and Singtel hi! S$7 Senior plan are better for Seniors. They have roaming data bundles but no support of roaming voice.

Yep. Unfair comparison in that sense.

Or you could also compare that both plans are $8.

Price comparison makes sense.
$8 5G or $8 4G? Choose one

i think that’s why they chose $8 5G

where have $8 5G ?

check CL thread page 74 for $6 deal promo code

 

[AMD_Duron]

Many eight S$8 4G plan users have one for one top up offer, so the effective price is only at S$4 per month.

If not, I tend to think many eight S$8 4G plan users will move out due to heavy congestion.

I keep one eight S$8 line just for roaming usage because of S$88 one for one top-up offer (22 month total, still got 14 months to go).

The perks of free topup credits but double edged

Easier to bookmark the following thread. You only need to read the first page and then last two pages.

Post #2 got the 5G CL Plan Promotion Codes, including the S$6 and S$8 5G CL plan. They have been shared for a few months already.

Post #3 got 4G CL Promotion Codes (not fully updated) but probably no point to go with 4G CL plans.

Post in thread '⚡️ README First! How to Select Low Cost SIM Only Plans in Singapore? ' https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...nly-plans-in-singapore.7167328/post-157724332

Probably not worth the S$2 differences now.

Previously the S$8 5G plan had 8GB Roaming data but no more now.

lol was gonna port to gomo then I see $6 plan only for seniors ..

 

[habibali]

not a fan of their secureme BS. Consumers should be able to port over without being "convinced" to stay.
and we don't need to talk about their lack of data roaming.... but their customer service is the best among all

 

[BBCWatcher]

I ported out of the $8 Eight plan because the reception got so horrible, I was missing calls from clients and stakeholders.

I think you mean congestion, presumably for "over the top" calls (WhatsApp for example) that use ordinary mobile data. StarHub's 4G network in Singapore has very good coverage (reception). Traditional voice call completion rates should be quite high since VoLTE is prioritized.

For that amount of data roll over not that important imo

In my line of work, I conduct a lot of home visits. I mean reception. Discovered some residential areas had 1 bar coverage on a relatively new iPhone 15, so was surprised to encounter that. And it was not one off - it was observed over a few weeks.

And I mean voice calls direct to the mobile number. Not OTT calls.

I tolerated the worsening deprioritisation for as long as I could as I still had credits remaining. But it became evident I had to port out when I missed some crisis calls. As a control, it's the same phone, no concerns on CL 5G.

Thank you for trying to reframe.

OK, interesting. But you're actually comparing one coverage network (StarHub 4G) against two combined coverage networks (M1 4G+Antina 5G). Eight also offers a 2 network service tier (StarHub 4G+Antina 5G), starting with their $10.80 plan level.

That's true. But I did state I was comparing the price point - $8.

Offering became secondary.

I see a few people mention the Circles Life zerofy sign up cashback promotions but not much details.. any one knows if there is any catch?
As circleslife is offering $61 cashback with spend now. But the T&Cs are very vague it almost feels like there is a catch somewhere

Am not sure if relevant, but my plan is on the Zerofy wallet. They don't allow switching from wallet to credit card, so it is a little inconvenient having to top up the wallet.

Also, retailers that do CL wallets are not that easy to find.

Yes, this was a pain if one were to utilise any wallet option other than CC. Damn troublesome to go top up and use.
