That's the thing, the website supported device list doesn't have S23. Only up to S22. I asked CS to double check, told her the list maybe not updated... she say confirm list is latest and S23 not supported. So I say OK means I have to switch network. She said OK we respect your decision.. :ROFLMAO:

I am trying to upgrade from MR 4G to the 5G 100GB @ $19.95.

Any MyRepublic rep here can clarify?

It's working on my s23 albeit not the smoothest nor most stable lol.

After 2 months using the myr 5g..i find that vivifi 4g+ loads faster as in less lag compared to the starhub 5g.. My web cam and Payment mode does not have issue loading anymore.. And my current plan is cheaper than the myr 5g standard plan..


Myrepublic, VIVIFI, redone

Starhub 5G doesn’t work that well.

I had it since 2021 Nov and prepared not to have 5G SH

Should this be the same as M1 5G?
Tested both M1 5G and StarHub 5G.

I feel like there's way more issues on StarHub 5G in general. This is despite StarHub SIM likely having higher priority as it's Business Mobile, compared to M1 line's Personal Mobile.

(02:46:00)Katherina
Please stay on chat
(02:46:29)Myself
ok
(02:51:00)Myself
any update?
(02:51:55)Katherina (Kat took 12mins to check, and came back with a series of questions)
How did you activate the sim was it on the app or MyAccount?
(02:52:03)Myself
on the app
(02:52:21)Katherina
How many attempts you made?
(02:52:34)Myself
2. the first time i tried on MyAccount it didn't work
(02:52:57)Katherina
Maximum attempt that can be made on the app is 2 attempts
(02:53:09)Katherina
Have you tried activating the sim via MyAccount?
(02:53:09)Myself
i made only 1 attempt on the app
(02:53:15)Myself
i can no longer do that
(02:53:18)Katherina
Thanks
(02:53:22)Myself
the activation is already in progress
(02:53:25)Myself
there's nothing i can do
(02:55:34)Katherina
Are you in Singapore or outside the country?
(02:55:37)Myself
in Singapore
(02:55:44)Myself
You probably need to send a new sim card
(02:56:59)Katherina
Have you tried using a different phone to activate the sim card?
(02:57:18)Myself
no. how many more questions do you have? please ask them all at the same time (already getting very impatient from the slow response; whats more this is my 2nd conversation with their staff)

(continuation from previous reply)
(02:58:29)Katherina
How many hours have passed after you made the attempt to activate the sim?
(02:58:35)Myself
13 hours
(02:58:38)Myself
I told you that earlier
(02:58:51)Katherina
This is a physical sim right?
(02:58:53)Myself
Yes
(02:59:33)Katherina
What ID have you uploaded to verify your identification?
(02:59:38)Myself
NRIC
(03:00:24)Katherina
Here's what you can do
(03:00:42)Katherina
Please make attempts to activate the sim card using MyAccount
(03:00:57)Katherina
You will need SingPass login for it to work
(03:01:16)Myself
let me try it right now
(03:01:49)Myself
im at the page, what do i click?
(03:02:09)Katherina
Here are the most common reason why your activation attempt becomes unsuccessful
(03:03:13)Katherina
ID doc front/ back copy is not readable
ID needs to be uploaded in a well-lit environment + dark background
ID uploaded is not the same as what we have in our records
ID uploaded + selfie doesn't match
ID upload is not NRIC/ FIN
- Driver's license is not an accepted document
Exceed no. of attempts
Customer is not in SG - could be due to VPN/ network
(03:03:29)Myself
None of that
(03:04:07)Myself
How do i activate the sim at MyAccount?
(03:04:22)Katherina
SIM will be activated within 2 hours once validation is successful.
(03:04:30)Myself
it has been 13 hours-.-
(03:04:37)Myself
which means the SIM is not successful
(03:04:42)Myself
so what do you expect me to do now?
(03:05:32)Katherina
What was the outcome from the attempt you just made with myAccount?
(03:05:44)Myself
there was no option to activate.
(03:07:04)Katherina
If that is the case the last resort we have is for you to walk in to the nearest mall to your location
(03:07:15)Katherina
Here are the list of malls you can choose from
(03:07:15)Katherina
MyRepublic AMK
MyRepublic JCube
MyRepublic Hillion
MyRepublic Bedok Mall
MyRepublic Sembawang Shopping Centre
MyRepublic Seletar Mall
(03:07:31)Katherina
Kindly bring the following with you.
(03:07:32)Katherina
Identity Document i.e. NRIC/ work pass
Delivered SIM Card
(03:07:50)Myself
what will they do there?
(03:10:07)Katherina
They will activayte the sim for you
(03:10:16)Katherina
Can you send me a clear copy of your NRIC id
(03:10:33)Katherina
front and back photo of the NRIC id
(03:10:57)Katherina
Your photo while holding the ID and all details from the ID should be readable
(03:12:33)Myself
Visitor uploaded: NRIC-front.jpeg
(03:12:40)Myself
Visitor uploaded: NRIC-back.jpeg
(03:12:47)Myself
i do not have the card with me right now. Can't send (can't send photo which includes myself holding my card)
(03:14:49)Katherina
I will send you an email and send me a photo while you hold the Id
(03:14:58)Katherina
I also need the photo of the sim card that was delivered
(03:15:05)Myself
If i don't do that then i cannot get my sim replaced?
(03:15:20)Katherina
and photo of all the documents that arrived along with the simcard
(03:15:40)Myself
how about this, please terminate my card. do not port my existing number over
(03:15:42)Myself
I will use another telco
(03:17:19)Katherina
I can have this reviewed with my team members and i will send you an update regarding the charges that may apply once we proceed with account termination
(03:17:49)Myself
Ok. I will try to make this entire hoohah go viral. Look forward to your charges (not really going to put too much effort into this, but will definitely write a quick review)
(03:18:38)Katherina
I totally understand where you are coming from knowing the inconvenience that this is causing you, however, making the issue go viral won;t resolve the root cause of this problem. (lolol)
(03:19:11)Katherina
We can go directly to the resolution, I'll send you an email and I'll wait for you to upload the requested photos
(03:19:43)Myself
This horrible experience has left a bitter taste and i will never use Myrepublic again. I will also change my mum's telco since she is currently using Myrepublic
(03:19:52)Myself
This is the best resolution i'd like to give myself
(03:19:55)Myself
Thanks a lot
(03:20:10)Katherina
Should you wish to proceed with account termination - we can also assist you with that but prior to doing so we need to check any charges that you may incur so you will be aware of the charges that will apply on the final bill
(03:20:30)Katherina
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
(03:20:48)Myself
Nope. proceed with termination

tldr; entire conversation took almost 1 hour, just to come to a resolution that i should visit a physical branch. live agent also asked for numerous photos including myself, my NRIC, my received sim card as well as accompanying documents. why can't i just provide those at the branch?! WILL NOT USE MYREPUBLIC AGAIN!
