@Boringchap QED

So in this case your plan expiry is 5 months into the future?

In final months of the year into next year 1st half, signal will get progressively poorer as spectrum could be refarm by starhub as Singapore properly close off 3g, is that possible

Starhub appears to be refarming B8 (900) from 3G to 4G, leaving only B1 (2100) for 3G.
The impact should be minimum for those not using 3G.
In fact that should improve things for those on 4G.

Those on 3G will see major impact, as B8 provides more coverage than B1.
And of course, when the work is progressing, it may take B8 totally offline while they are at it.

i got another number, main line at suntec comex i got the $8 free, than they sms me the promo, i top up again, like no free...no sms inform me....true?

One number can only get once. It's stated somewhere there.

Any idea which are the MVNO that allows port in later and which are the ones that don't ?
Specifically any idea about Simba ?

Dun think any have unless u count m1 maxx

That's right. M1 Maxx is MVNO.

 

[A7997A]

Dun think any have unless u count m1 maxx

So all must submit port at sign up, cannot do so later, except maxx ?
I was under the impression that some allow, some don't.
Looks like that is not the case.

If u got kids, very easy to farm these coins. The coins are from vouchers.
milk powder plus diapers = sap sap water

Actually is of u hv sare idle device, daily limit is 200 coin earning without purchase transaction.
Just idle everyday a bit a bit, slowly can 3k 5k
If ur mari cc user u hv 5% unlim coin cashback.
But to me that's not necessarily beneficial since daily limit of 1k to expend

Let it auto deduct

Guys, one question - does Giga and Eight is controlled by Starhub or they lease their line and individuals run Giga and Eight?

Wondering if its still under Starhub, why 3 different app/interface etc.
