Yea, not only will affect circles life, definitely will affect all telcos and they might need to update their 5G plans too. Competition is good for us, consumers!
i am sure more SA plans will come out soon with other MVNO with competitive price
Now that we have Starhub on MR eSIM.... Also hope more MVNO come out with different options when using eSIM
The previous comments from Magix was that, for existing 4G physical to e-sim, had to port out and back in.
When I did the plan upgrade, at one point the system asked if you wanted a physical or eSIM. I selected eSIM and the email with a new eSIM QR came within a minute upon confirmation.
they keep changing the list of supported headsets.
yap handsets not headsets
kidding
both using same SA infra M1 + SH but 4g i prefer SH if there's no 5G detected
I don't have 5G phone, so sign up for that plan also will force me to use 4G on M1 right?Too bad u didn’t get the new myrepublic starhub 5g plans , $18 for 80gb much better than m1 coverage for sure
The new 5G plan rides on Starhub network. APN is shwap; i.e., SH Data Postpaid. If one sign up the NEW 5G PLAN, will connect to Starhub network regardless if on 4G or 5G when using the SIM card.
I think the M1 plans will eventually be phased out with Starhub already a majority owner in MR's Broadband business, especially seeing how competitively priced their 100GB 5G plans are compared to the competition's 100GB 4G.
Hopefully they allow downgrade from 5G to 4G plans when all plans are migrated to Starhub network. Suspect the reason many sign up the 5G plan now just to enjoy the combination of eSIM + non-M1 network.
Honestly I think not too many care about esim now, at least until Apple make all new iPhones esim only
