Yes, Network Lock was progressively provisioned to all mobile / mobile broadband lines that have activated data roaming, within 1 week from service availability on 10 July 2015. You should receive a confirmation SMS when Network Lock is activated.

I have activated Network Lock and I am travelling to a country that does not have a preferred network. Can I still use data roaming?
Yes, you can use data roaming on any network in a country that does not have a preferred network. Data roaming will only be disabled on non-preferred networks in 16 countries.

I have activated Network Lock but why am I not connected to the preferred network?
The Network Lock feature does not connect you automatically to a preferred network. If your device setting is on “Auto Network Selection” mode, you will be connected to the network with the strongest coverage based on your current location. Network Lock will disable data roaming usage if your device connects to a non-preferred network in the 16 countries covered by Network Lock.

You can manually select and connect to the preferred network on your device to minimize any disruption to data usage.


DATA PASSPORT

The M1 Data Passport service (“Service”) may be activated on the following service plans, for use with the bundled local data for data roaming in the selected Data Passport country and on the applicable preferred network.

Mobile Plans: Lite, Lite+, Reg, Reg+, Max, Max+, i-Lite, i-Lite+, i-Reg, iReg+, i-Max, i-Max+, mySIM 30, mySIM 45, mySIM 75, mySIM 125, ConnectSurf, BlackBerry MessageSurf+ and SurfShare.

Data roaming usage in selected Data Passport countries on the applicable preferred network will be converted and deducted from the local data bundles on a daily basis, during which there must be an active and valid subscription of the Service on your mobile/mobile broadband service plan. Daily usage is based on Singapore time 00:00 to 23:59 GMT +8. Data roaming usage in selected Data Passport countries on non-preferred networks or without a valid Data Passport subscription will be charged at prevailing postpaid roaming mobile data charges.

Usage in excess of the local data bundles will be charged at local rates with a data bill cap in accordance with usage charges specified for the respective mobile/mobile broadband service plans, value-added services and data benefits.

When a mobile/mobile broadband service plan is subscribed to the Service and Roaming Data Bundles concurrently, only usage of the Service on preferred networks will apply as the local data bundle will be utilized until the monthly data bill cap is reached. Data roaming usage on non-preferred networks will be deducted from Roaming Data Bundles, if applicable.

Usage of the Service cannot be combined with usage on the $15 daily Unlimited Data Roaming and Roaming Data Bundles.

Upon Service activation, a one-time Service activation fee of $2 and $10 subscription fee per selected Data Passport country will be charged. The $10 subscription fee will be charged monthly.

An additional $5 monthly subscription fee will apply if you are already subscribed to M1’s Multi-SIM service. This additional $5 monthly subscription fee applies irrespective of the number of Data Passport countries selected and Multi-SIMs subscribed.

For the avoidance of doubt, GST does not apply on the Service activation fee and subscription fees. The Service activation fee and subscription fees will not be pro-rated in any circumstances.

You may activate or terminate the Service via Manage My Account, My M1 App or USSD *123#. You will receive a confirmation SMS upon service activation and/or de-activation. The confirmation SMS will be sent to Multi-SIM subscribers on the primary line only. Upon receiving a confirmation SMS on Service activation, local data bundles may be used for data roaming.

Usage of the Service will require activation of voice, SMS and data roaming. Upon Service activation, you are deemed to have agreed to activate these roaming services on your mobile/mobile broadband service plan for use with the Service (as may be applicable). Termination of these roaming services will automatically de-activate the Service.

These M1 Data Passport Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) shall take effect upon Service activation and shall continue until the Service is terminated. M1 reserves the right to terminate any subscription for lawful reasons at any time and M1 will, where practicable, give notice of such termination in such form as M1 deems appropriate.

M1 reserves the right to modify or revise these Terms from time to time upon notice in such manner as M1 deems appropriate, which may include publication of such amended Terms on www.m1.com.sg. You are encouraged to check back periodically to ensure that you are aware of any such amendments. Your continued use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of these Terms as may be amended.

Still need to turn on.
