yep no issue with Circles $7 promo back during 11/11. the estimated bill looks iffy but the actual amount charged to my card when the new month rolled in was all correct. so far no problem with them.

M1 coverage actually quite ok. So far I can use it inside the Port and mrt trains without drop calls and can surf the internet fast. ST for unknown reasons the Data bundle actually depleted very fast compared to M1.




Ported out from M1 Sim only. Previously had the same mindset due to the benefits, then I had issues with their coverage in several places.

Couldn't load apps to clock member points, couldn't load ibanking app to do payment, delayed messages, repeatedly lost connectivity, people call in can't hear me... Etc etc...

Decided enough is enough and just port out and fug those benefits.

Because Singtel counts in data blocks of 10KB. M1 and Grid Mobile counts in data blocks of 1B. By that standard, it will theoretically mean Singtel data will deplete up to 10000 times faster.

You can sign up and ask for later delivery. Activate after your contact

my MAX monthly usage for past 6 months:
- 3.58 GB local data
- 171 min outgoing talktime
- 16 SMS outgoing

Is Giga telco cheapest for me?
5GB Base ($10) + 100 min@($1) = $11 /month

Seems like. That's why the $10/5gb plan is so good. Very suitable for low data users.

yep, good experience with Giga too... if VoLTE is not a deal breaker for you, it's the most cost effective plan for you
