Actually, how does the $0 88GB plan works after it expire? They will move me to $8 plan or how?

IIRC Singapore mobile lines have to be registered and activated upon purchase.

They'll contact you and give you the options to take up a new/paid plan before the termination date. After that, your line will be terminated if you ignore them.

Same here. I want my quotas to refresh on the 1st. I was gonna go collect the free SIM on 1 Aug. Now I think I will just sign up online and get the eSIM on 1 Aug.

I’m interested in signing up for 8 mobile lines but would like to check if call divert can be enable and working on the 8 mobile lines. I understand all diverted calls that are picked up will have airtime deducted. This is needed due to some special requirements.

I last understand not all MVNOs allow call divert.

Thanks I was searching the word divert. In layman is known as call forwarding.

found it in network roaming and IDD FAQ

Nope. I'm gonna use this as my secondary line.

But yes, if porting over, there is the issue you're referring to.
