Operators are required to complete the porting of mobile telephone numbers within one working day.

The data prioritisation of Starhub is as follows


Starhub 5G Platinum = Starhub 5G Unlimited+ = MyRepublic 5G (QCI 140)

> Swap Mobile = CUniq = MyRepublic $10 4G (QCI 150)

> Eight = giga (QCI 170)

So far there are no data points on Starhub Prepaid but my guess is QCI 140.

If porting in to a yearly plan, how does the free 2 months get delivered?
Since you are paying 1 year upfront.
When does the free 2 months come into play?

 

[linuskltan]

If you purchased the 1-Year 5G+ Ultra Plan, the 2 free months will be stacked on Month 13 and 14.

Nah spoon feed you. Under 'Manage My Account' > 'I have 2 eight lines today, how can I see them under 1 account?'

I was at South Korea and was using the 5G+ Supreme Plan at $18.80 / mth.

888GB 5G+ Data (SG-MY-ID-TH-HK-JP-CN-KR-AU) which covers Korea.
Somehow there was rollover from my previous $8 plan and it becomes 3TB.
So it's like almost unlimited.

Connection was good too, i dun rmb i face any downtime at all. Somehow overseas connection always seem to be better than in SG.

No point, minimum 5G plan is at S$15 per month, minimum 4G plan is at S$10 per month.

Going to Japan soon, thinking of signing a line just for Japan and delimit when I’m back. Thinking of Eight is because I need to share hotspot to my 2 kids’ iPad and my helper phone.

Looking at 5G+ Life Plan.
Can I confirm this has 28gb for Japan and if the line is stable at there? Or actually ultra plan better since the 788 5g+ data include Japan now.

Or do I have other better choice?

Maxx is better choice for you, 700GB in Japan, where to find. Since you need hotspot to 2 kids iPad and helper phone. The 700GB can be used in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Japan, Philippines
