Hi FlyGuardX and all, happy lunar new year in advance.

One question, there is this seller by the name of Lady Boxx Collectxxxx. I can purchase one $28 transaction (by paying for $25) because I can use the voucher of $3 off min. Spend $0.

My questions are
is this a good deal? Any better deal than this one?
do I get to enjoy the promotion of top up $28 get $38 total credit - as I am paying only $25.

Thanks in advance.
You pay 25sgd but the seller will top up 28sgd for you. The extra $10 will be added separate. $25 / ($38/8) = 5.26sgd per month.

You paid $25. Shopee would be paying the remaining $3 to the retailer. Happy CNY to you and all browsing this thread! 🐍年大🍊

Reading through the $28 topup and $38 credit

While it is good deal, it is also lock in plus few months contract

if ok to sign few months or years contract with eight plan after topup for up to 8 times, then it is ok but seem like defeat the purpose of ability to switch to another MVNO plan

Got so good MVNO lobang every few months to keep jumping around? Personally good ones not more than 3, effectively as another bro shared best deal was $22 for $38 almost buy 1 free 1. When I'm overseas for work/leisure for extended period of time, I have the option not to renew my plan also until I'm back, love the flexibility and cost savings. No more surprises in bills as well.

I only top up $28 once. Maybe 2 times ok but not 8 times . That one is like 3 years contract. Btw, travelled around yesterday n the connection drop a bit in train n certain area. My shopee app not responding n have to try a few times before It connected. TikTok in train also load slow but after a while it stablized. Cannot complain too much for such a cheap price.

Pricing is one only one of considerations. Other considerations are continuous good network stability and usability, good bundle to keep up with other good offer, etc

No one knows what happens to next few months. The telcos are still competing with each other for price and features. Good for us who want to hop another time.

I also top up once. 🤣

From 8's FAQ:

You can recharge your wallet as much as you want as the credit has no expiry date as long as your eight mobile plan is active. The credit can be used for subsequent credit renewal. The credit in the wallet are non-refundable, transferrable/ exchangeable for cash.

There is no expiry to wallet credit if you continue to renew your plan. However, if you choose not to renew your plan, you will enter a 60-day grace period. After 60 days, the unused credit will be forfeited.
