Things to note:
1. No caller id, need to add on $5.45pm to avoid scammers

2. 5G is limited to first 6 months, then $2.08 per month.

3. Network is a joke in the new areas surrounding the PDD near SIT, Northshore, etc...10-30Mbps.

My relative signed up. Ended up crying....

Very close to the SingTel $15.28 if you can get it... Superior value.

For M1, go for their CIS plan. free caller ID for 12 months. As long as you recontract, they will just give u free caller ID.

In this case, probably no CIS for most Seniors -- so no free Caller ID.
S$5 for 300GB plan --> S$10.45 per month with Caller ID
S$6 for 1TB plan --> S$11.45 per month with Caller ID
S$7 for 1TB plan and 1GB worldwide roaming --> S$12.45 per month with Caller ID.

And the pricing is only good for the first 12 months for M1 Bespoke SIM Only senior plan.

S$5 for 300GB plan --> S$20.4 after 12 months with Caller ID
S$6 for 1TB plan --> S$23.4 after 12 months with Caller ID
S$7 for 1TB plan and 1GB worldwide roaming --> S$28.4 after 12 months with Caller ID

Conslidate then market less players, and then we start to suffer.

Google AI Overview of M1 SIM Only plan key milestones.

The Key Milestones Timeline

• • 2015: The Launch of "mySIM"
    M1 originally disrupted the market by introducing its early mySIM plans. These plans gave customers the choice between completely contract-free options or a 12-month commitment in exchange for larger data bundles. [1]
  • 2017: Handset Subsidies Meet SIM-Only (mySIMe)
    To counter the rising popularity of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) like Circles.Life, M1 introduced mySIMe plans. This hybrid model allowed customers to enjoy the high data allotments of a SIM-only plan while still bundling a subsidized phone under a 2-year contract. [1, 2]
  • May 2019: The "One Base Plan" Revolution
    In a massive structural simplification, M1 scrapped 19 legacy mobile plans and collapsed them into just two base plans: one for SIM-only (starting at S$25 for 30GB) and one for handset bundles. This effectively made no-contract, digital-first plans M1’s core identity. [1]
  • 2021: Personalization via "Bespoke SIM-Only"
    M1 launched its Bespoke SIM-only plans, shifting away from rigid tiers. Using the My M1+ app, customers gained the milestone ability to sliders to freely adjust their data caps and talktime allocations month-to-month based on their changing needs and budgets. [1, 2, 3]
  • 2023–2024: Mass Migration & True 5G Integration
    M1 hit a major technical milestone by aggressively retiring older legacy 4G plans and migrating users to upgraded contract-free SIM-only plans. They integrated True 5G access as a standard feature across all mainstream Bespoke plans, removing 5G speed as a paid add-on. [1, 2]
  • August 2024: The Sub-Brand Aggression (M1 Maxx)
    To directly compete in the budget market against secondary digital telcos, M1 launched a revamped Maxx SIM-only plan. They hit a pricing milestone by offering promotional port-in rates as low as S$7.90/month, packed with heavy local data and built-in APAC roaming. [1, 2]
  • 2026: The "Data Explosion" Era
    Reflecting current trends where massive data caps serve as the baseline, M1’s plans have evolved to offer aggressive promotions like 150GB to 1TB (1,024GB) of 5G data for under S$15–S$18/month, alongside popular perks like unlimited weekend data. [1, 2, 3]
