Hi, can i double confirm that the 8 dollar plan is eligible for free idd call to china? need to call wechat hotline to enquire on wechat pay...

Yes, I called China Mobile hotline (+8613800100186) recently using eight mobile S$8 plan, to help my mum-in-law to enable overseas roaming for her two China Mobile lines as she forgot to do that before visiting us.

Hi everyone. I am using 5g+ power plan($10.80). Only the local data has roll over, but my APAC and international roaming has no roll over. Am I missing out something ?

This is my second month on 5G+ power plan already.

Thanks everyone

Not exactly, you need to see how they calculate.

5G+ Supreme Plan
Monthly plan at S$18.8.
Annual plan at S$128, save S$97.6 or about 5 months.

Then you get the 13th and 14 month free.

S$128 for 14 month
S$18.8 X 14 = S$263.2

You kind of pay about 6.8 months but get 14 months, saving about 7.2 months, which for sure is a very good deal.

But take note for those get one for one top-up offer, it is not possible to use the wallet money to pay for the 1 year plans.

For lower tier plans, the savings will be less.

Example for the 5G+ Power plan at S$10.8 per month, annual plan is at S$96, so you save S$33.60 without the two months port-in offer.

With the two months port-in offer, you will pay S$96 and get 14 months, saving S$55.2, or about 5.1 months.

Currently on $8 plan. Just received a message saying that the $8 plan is ending soon and asked to select one of the 5G plan or choose a 1 Year Plan for maximum savings. Anyone else on $8 plan receive this message?

If wallet have balance purchase $8 monthly plan stack as many as you can. This could be the loophole.

Didn't receive any message like what you've said.

I still see the $8 plan available for recharge though.
