Only you can answer based on your own usage. Do you need 50GB or 65GB, etc.

Just take note that M1 charges a one time fee for issuing the eSIM & everytime you need to install eSIM onto a new phone. MyRepublic does not charge the setup fee & the first 2 installs. There is anecdotal evidence that MyRepublic is slowed down when in an area with a lot of users. M1 does not.

Just curious, if one day your phone spoil and you need to reprovision esim, is it possible to do so without OTP (which obviously cannot work anymore) or deactivating the current esim?

For circles life, you can manage the Esim online and otp will be sent to your email.

I see, thanks! I realised my email requires mobile phone number to sign in so I better set up alternative methods lol

MyRepublic is now offering 5G plans for eSIM. However, unlike their 4G plans, their 5G plans uses Starhub's network. If you are allergic to M1 (& it's airplane mode) but would like an eSIM, you now have this option.

FWIW, their 100GB at $19.95 seems to be a pretty solid deal; keeping the 100GB at ~$20 pricing & you get 5G + 1GB/month roaming in Malaysia, Thailand & Indonesia (but only for 6 months).

Reply by the company is typical of what we should expect.

I don't think any of our telcos here are trained to handle such events. Look at OCBC previously with the scams last year.

Hello all,

I am going for a 2 weeks work trip and also taking a short holiday in UK/France next week.

Looking for a reliable, tested and proven European region eSIM which can allow me to tether to my work laptop while on the move.

So far it narrowed down to 2 but I want to be it allows tethering as I had read reviews some might not allow even if they mentioned so in their website.

1) Airalo

2) ICC

https://www.icard.com.sg/products/i...20gb-4g-data-call?_pos=2&_sid=38b0a8676&_ss=r

Just want to know if any of you guys had used the above companies eSIM in UK and France and if they allowed tethering.

Thanks

I didn't get the 2 service you had linked but the sim card i purchased for Greece ( Orange Holiday SIm ) did not allow tethering even though it was stated that it was possible. I suspect it was disabled because of roaming.

Just asked. My Circles Life $0 plan cannot switch to eSIM. If I buy a Pixel or iPhone, I will have to sacrifice my VIVIFI for another telco with eSIM.

HK iPhone...

Nah. Anything wrong don’t know who to deal with.

Still can send in to apple. Global warranty.

Just take note that if you bring a HKG/China dual SIM iPhone to Singapore Apple, it is likely it will be replaced with a local (SG) set.

Proof?

I sent in my device just last month for replacement, get back another HK set. Not local set.

That's what the person at the Apple Store @jewel told me when I asked about it last year. If your experience is otherwise, then great.

They have to cover themselves of course.
