MyRepublic Mobile discussion thread

Quote from the article:
5G is available for everyone who sign up for a MyRepublic 5G plan. Simply select your preferred 5G plan, choose eSIM or physical SIM, activate the mobile service, and you’re good to go! Do note that to enjoy 5G access, a compatible 5G device is required. Check out the list of compatible devices.

Update : We checked with MyRepublic, their 5G plan will require a reissue of a new 5G SIM card and the plan runs on Starhub not M1.

If 5G eSIM, still running on Starhub? Does Starhub have eSIM?

i also wonder if esim is better probably for ios users not android at the moment if you are always changing phones ..

5G plan runs on Starhub - Does that mean for 5G connection only or the 4G connections on 5G plan also run on Starhub? I just switched out from MR because of bad connections from time to time... But if they are switching to Starhub then can reconsider as the price is very attractive.

Sound correct because Starhub & M1 are in a joint venture for their 5G network deployment. However, I wonder if drop back to 4G is using Starhub or M1

 

[nom.nom]

Sounds more attractive than GOMO offering leh. Wonder if ST will push GOMO to go SA also?

 

[Jurong640]

So their 5G plans are on Starhub and 4G plans are on M1?

Or both going to be on Starhub?

they did not say, I feel it might be sign ups from 17 Jan onwards will be on Starhub network.
MyRepublic did it before when they switched from Starhub to M1 network. They make it a point from a date onwards, all customers who signed up will be on M1 network. I feel they will be doing it as well. Otherwise, it will be messy for them to handle 4G and 5G networks on different network operators

Seems like it, the apn settings are now shwap (starhub postpaid apn) even for 4g access.

Unfortunately, my MR eSIM line still showing Sunsurf (M1).... Yours is physical SIM?

Curious is the 5G is consider as a VAS for existing customer

I think it depends. No experience with MyRepublic on this so take this with a pinch of salt, but my understanding is that eSIM is downloaded through QR code and the QR code can be used X number of times (Seems like MR allows 2 free downloads), so if you have used the QR code once only, I think this time round it would be free, but if it's 3rd time onwards then I think you need to pay.

Ah that's good to know. Where did you switch from? How is the network so far?

I msg MR via FB and their response was " Yes, it will be an eSIM profile download since you will be downloading the new eSIM. " Looks like I will be sticking with nano sim for my main line as I do sometimes stick my sim card in other devices for testing purposes.

Hahha oh no, I didn’t switch, just stating what I read on their FAQ

 

[crystalnox]

If the 5G plan falls back to StarHub 4G as well, that would be very attractive.

 

[Slavor]

Very tempted to sign up but not sure if their esim is M1 or StarHub (which doesn’t even have esim lol). Anyone knows?

 

[Scuderia]

5G plans are on StarHub, including when falling back on 4G. 4G plans will remain on m1.

Any confirmation on this?

 

[Slavor]

StarHub and M1 are sharing 5G networks, so effectively it just means users are just using M1

Any confirmation on this?

 

[alienalien]

Anyone knows how to port out to MR from changi mobile. MR doesn't have a selection for changi mobile in the telco list

 

[Slavor]

I just switched over - the esim set up says the esim is from StarHub
