you can't, apparently you'll receive a sms if you almost reached your full allotment

 

[MrRayded]

Anybody got any lobang/promotion for new numbers to use? Cant think of any at the moment for my new eight number

 

[CPTMiller]

I no kiasu at all. Email says collect from 1pm to 7pm, I collect at 6:59 pm at TPY, only queue 5mins.

You are right. Last to collect no queue.
Why waste time go early queue 1 hr to get a free sim card? It's not gold leh

I was chatting with those around me. They didn't know anything about this. Auntie saw a long queue, asked what was it about. Realised got free SIM card with roaming. Auntie going JB, complained Singtel roaming cannot work so she joined the queue to get SIM card.

Part of the marketing strategy I guess. If you need to sign up or express interest by giving your personal details, most people will read what the product is carefully, which is what most of us have done if we are in this thread. Then the information about collection points and dates can be disseminated to this group of people. Create a long line at a public place, people walking past will ask what is it about and join the queue too (word spreads).

Think about if they didn't get us to register, there will probably be much lesser talk in town and people don't know about it.

do u happen to know if this (meaning no need register can still get it) also applies to elsewhere like the tampines collection point?

I reflect on their registration process at Ubi, nobody checked for email or SMS. I just handled over my ID to the CSO, chose a number & got the SIM.

So, I’m quite sure no need to register for interest unless they are meeting the target numbers.

 

[gapboy]

It has been mentioned few times no need to register for interest email to collect the SIM

 

[alex22]

Nope!

Till now no way to know how much data used except for equipment based metering.
No app, no website ro login to check yet.

Any bros here hit 100gb yet? Got slow down after that or at 90gb slow down?

I only 30gb now
