Yeah it's normal for old nos to be recycled no matter what telco. otherwise new nos will run out very fast. Especially for mobile broadband think confirm recycled de since most ppl won't use for calls/sms..

are you sure??? i mean if it's for something like mbb, it's ok lah.
but they also recycle for their new mobile subscriptions?? if not, it's like short-changing the customers. scary/irritating to recieve calls from random pple..

Yes, even mobile subscriptions is also recycled numbers, typically takes about 2 years before the numbers will be taken out to be used again. But recently all providers release the old numbers out within 6 months.

Yup yup like what whaleshark87 highlighted, it's getting increasinly common for all telcos to recycle old nos. Not much choice either as demand for nos get increasingly high for both mobile and mobile bb subscriptions..

Hi bros. Need recommendations.

I thinking of getting a mobile broadband but not sure which ISP to get from.
I am leaning towards M1 cause quite some good feedback on it.

If i want to stream youtube videos and do normal web surfing and facebook, is 1mbps enough or need 2mbps and above? Please advice thanks!

Area is serangoon, bukit timah area, Ngee ann poly area.

A 2Mbps plan would be preferable lo.. Don't get anything more than that as it may not be achievable.. If you're using M1 mobile plan too, then can bundle with mobile broadband plans to get multi-line discounts on mobile lines..

Actually thought of getting 4mbps with mifi to put inside my bag.
After 50percent, i still can get 25percent off meaning it will be around 19bucks per month rather than 2mbps.

Advisable?

Oh ok.. But it seems that the 50% off promo is over. Maybe can wait for PC Show..

The mobile broadband is actually not qualifiable for multi-line discounts liao. However, it can be counted as a service towards increasing your mobile lines discount.

 

[zhehao]

Hmm i got 2 m1 mobile phone line right now. So meaning to say if i sign up for mobile broadband, only my 2 phone gets the discount and not 2 phone line and 1 mobile bb? Darn.
Yea waiting for PC Show to get 50percent hopefully.

Anyway i made this price comparision. May be wrong cause i used 25percent on the mobile broadband line. 4mbps and above i added mifi.

Yeah means you are considered to have 3 services when you get the mobile bb lo. Then get 25% discount for your 2 mobile lines. Yup shud exclude the 25% extra discount for your mobile bb. So far all IT Show also 50% off. Guess this PC Show should be the same ba. Lols..

Wah when did they effect this? Quietly quietly one eh... bugger. ;p
Now my 3 M1BB lines lose the 25% discount.

Around mid april lo when M1 advertise that FBB will be included in discount tier as a service to increase mobile lines discounts. But no worries bro as existing mbb contracts signed b4 april will still enjoy the extra multi-line discounts till end of contract.

I don't think till end of contract, should be until you cancel the MBB line or you recontract it then the Multi-line saver on the MBB will be withdrawn.

 

[zhehao]

Just called them.
Checked that the multi line discount is for mobile voice only.
That made a lot of difference in terms of price!
