[MERGED] Third virtual mobile telco: Zero1

[xonix]

How to top-up voice minutes?

Their cheapest plan gives 150 minutes. Some times, if you call customer care of banks, or SQ can easily take up that many minutes. So, how do I top-up voice minutes?

I don't see any option to top up in Zero1 mobile app. How often do you need to have long conversations with bank ?

If it's going to be regular affair, maybe you ought to look for a plan with enough minutes rather than the cheapest plan.

Yes. Their cso confirmed the data plan are the same for both plan.

It's not the same.
Starter trottle speed before 6gb at 20mbps.

Mine nearing 4gb usage and still not throttled to 20mbps yet.

Are you able to get anything more than 100mbps on the starter plan?

 

[twosix]

may i know why u need 100mbps speed?

Nope, you don't need.

However ST does have their tier based plan. Their prepaid is capped at 75mbps.

Zero1 seem to be lower than the prepaid plan.

 

[Arandalo]

GOMO previously had download speed cap of 50 to 75 Mbps as well but it was lifted sometime later.

For me, latency more important bah....

As long can stream 720p before 6gb is up. Good enough.

Yes...impressive speed. My main m1 line can only get above 100 with 5g...pathetic...once contract up sure jump to zero1 or zym.

Latest update...data usage at 5.78gb now. Testing speed using speedtest.sg still shows 120mbps.
Don't know why but it seems to me zero1 uses (eat up) data quite fast too...maybe this is one downside to this mvno.

After 6gb, speed indeed throttles...did 2 tests...1@0.8mpbs 1@1.2mbps.

Does it decrease quick when just sending/checking messages? The last I saw, Zero1 has 1MB block size, but not sure how it works.

The managed speed is decent, enough for checking news and messages.

Vivifi also data used up quite fast. I am on zym the usage is a lot slower even the usage pattern stays similar.

ported to zero1 starter; 6gb finally ran out; testing managed speed

can feel webpages loading slightly slower, no issues with messaging [e.g. telegram/whatsapp], youtube on firefox, 360p ok

I am on the 50U plan, already feel speed throttling and I only just used 15gb

Yeah, Giga has 500 minutes of talk time for $10 a month.

Just got my SIM card for the Starter. New num, popped it in and off it goes.

Tested on my spare phone, 40-60+ Mbps down, 15-20+ up. The data usage shown on their app and website seem pretty granular, though I've been hitting it with large file sizes. Will try another time with just messages and light webpages.

By the way, how is Zero1's billing cycle like? Does it start on a certain day of the month, or the day you activate the line? Can anyone advise?

personally cannot stand to use the 'managed' speed. can certainly do whatsapp... but surfing web and watching youtube are too unbearable.

Data is cheap now.
Managed speed is too constrainted.
